Abstract
None:
A europium-based metal-organic framework (Eu-ndc), constructed from rigid trinuclear Eu3+ clusters and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate linkers, functions as an efficient X-ray scintillator with intense red radioluminescence. It exhibits an ultralow detection limit of 4.6 μGy s-1, a light yield of 16 546 photons per MeV, and enables flexible scintillation films for high-resolution X-ray imaging.
