Abstract:
Developing efficient and stable lead-free luminescent materials is of great significance for advancing solid-state lighting and display technologies. Herein, we report three novel blue-emitting zero-dimensional hybrid materials, (C9H15N3)ZnCl4 (1), (C8H14N4)ZnCl4·H2O (2), and (C8H14N4)ZnBr4·H2O (3) (C9H13N3 = 1-(2-pyridyl)piperazine; C8H12N4 = 1-(2-pyrimidyl)piperazine). Under excitation light, all compounds exhibit bright blue emission with a maximum photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 47.82%, owing to the enhanced quantum and dielectric confinement offered by the insulating organic matrix. The luminescence originates from the synergistic interaction of the organic cations and inorganic tetrahedra. These halides exhibit excellent optical properties and thermal stability that are necessary for lighting and display applications.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
