The lanthanide metal organic framework compounds [Ln(BPTA)1.5(Bpy)]·0.5DMF (Ln = Y, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy; 1a–5a) and [Ln(BPTA)1.5(Phen)]·0.5DMF (Ln = Y, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy; 1b–5b) were prepared by employing 2,5-bis(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)terephthalic acid (2,5-BPTA) as the primary ligand and 2,2′-bipyridine (1a–5a) and 1,10-phenanthroline (1b–5b) as the secondary ligands. Single-crystal structural studies on [Gd(BPTA)1.5(Bpy)]·0.5DMF (3a) and [Dy(BPTA)1.5(Phen)]·0.5DMF (5b) indicated that the compounds have a two-dimensional structure. The Y compound exhibits blue emission, and the other compounds exhibit emission in the expected regions (λex = 350 nm). White light emission was achieved by careful mixing of the red (Eu3+) and green (Tb3+) components in the blue emitting Y compound. Thus, Y0.96Tb0.02Eu0.02 (bpy) and Y0.939Tb0.06Eu0.001 (phen) were found to show white emission when excited using a wavelength of 350 nm. The introduction of N–N-containing ancillary ligands (i.e., bpy and phen) increased the overall quantum yield (QY) of white light emission to 31% and 43%, respectively. The high QY observed for the Tb and Eu compounds was found to be sensitive and selective for the fluorometric detection of azinphos-methyl pesticide and trinitrophenol (TNP) in an aqueous medium at the ppb level. The same behaviour was observed when utilising the compounds as onsite paper strip sensors. Their magnetic properties were also studied, revealing for the Tb and Dy derivatives slow relaxation of the magnetisation at low temperature. The present study highlights the usefulness of rigid π-conjugated molecules such as 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline in enhancing the many utilities of rare-earth-containing MOFs towards white light emission, the sensing of harmful and dangerous substances and magnetic properties.

In this paper, we report the successful assembly of achiral {Ln6M} ([Ln6M(μ3-OH)8(acac)12(CH3O)x(CH3OH)y], Ln = La, M = Mn, Co, Fe) and chiral {Nd9Fe2} ([Nd9Fe2(μ4-O)(μ3-OH)14(acac)16(NO3)(CH3OH)2(H2O)3]) rare earth clusters using achiral rigid ligands and a transition metal doping strategy. {Ln6M} can be viewed as the fusion of two {Ln3M} tetrahedrons by sharing vertices. {Nd9Fe2} results from the fusion of four {Ln3M} tetrahedrons by vertice and edge sharing. The substitution of Ln with transition metal leads to changes in the coordination pattern around neighboring Ln, which triggers the switch of metal center chirality. This study demonstrates the potentiality of utilizing transition metal doping and rigid ligand to control the chirality of rare earth clusters. In addition, the photocatalytic CO2 activity of these transition metal-doped rare earth clusters has been studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By selecting a bisphosphonic ligand H4L (H4L = 4-F-C6H4CH2N(CH2PO3H2)2) and a coligand oxalate (H2C2O4), three isostructural lanthanide metal–organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) with a 2D layer structure, [Ln(H3L)(C2O4)]·2H2O (Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), or Tb (3)), were hydrothermally prepared. By tuning the molar ratio of Eu3+, Gd3+, and Tb3+ in the above reactions, six bimetallic or trimetallic doped Ln-MOFs (EuxTb1−x (x = 0.02 (4), 0.04 (5), and 0.06 (6)), Gd0.94Eu0.06 (7), Gd0.96Tb0.04 (8) and Gd0.95Tb0.03Eu0.02 (9)) were obtained. The powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of doped Ln-MOFs 4–9 show that they are isomorphous with 1–3. The bimetallic doped Ln-MOFs show a gradual variation of luminous colors between yellow-green, yellow, orange, pink, and light blue. Meanwhile, the trimetallic doped Gd0.95Tb0.03Eu0.02 Ln-MOF (9) displays near white-light emission with a quantum yield of 11.39%. Interestingly, the luminous inks of 1–9 are invisible and color tunable, which makes it possible to promote their anti-counterfeiting applications. Additionally, 3 displays good thermal, water, and pH stabilities, which provides the feasibility for its sensing application. The luminescence sensing experiments show that 3 can serve as a highly selective, reusable, and ratiometric luminescent sensor of sulfamethazine (SMZ). Moreover, 3 shows an excellent SMZ detection performance in real samples, such as mariculture water and real urine. Owing to the visible variation of the response signal under a UV lamp, portable SMZ test paper was prepared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polychromatic emission can be achieved by controlling the distribution of the rare earth activator in multi-cation lattices, which can be used in the fields of white light LED and fluorescence temperature sensing. However, it is still a challenge to control their distribution and location of the target site in a given host material because the distribution of the rare earth activator is uncertain. In this paper, we have chosen Li4SrCa(SiO4)2 as the multi-cation site host and induced the distribution of Eu2+ ions between different cation sites through anion substitution, for the first time, to regulate the luminescence characteristics of a series of Li4SrCaSi2O8-yN2y/3:Eu2+ phosphors. In Li4SrCa(SiO4)2:Eu2+ phosphors, the substitution of O2- by N3- triggered a distinct ordered to disordered structure transition of the SiO4 tetrahedron and induced the remote distribution of the Eu2+ activator, which was verified through the analysis of the XRD, EPR, FT-IR and fluorescence spectra. Due to the location of Eu2+ ions in different cation sites (Eu2+ Sr and Eu2+ Ca), two distinguishable emission peaks with tunable color emissions and different responses to temperature were realized. The white LED that utilized blue-orange-emitting Li4SrCaSi2O4N8/3:Eu2+ and green-emitting BaSi2O2N2:Eu2+ (500 nm) displayed an outstanding color rendering index (Ra) of 85.1. Based on the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) technique, an optical temperature measurement mechanism was hypothesized and studied in the temperature range of 293-473 K. The highest Sa of the material was 0.086 K-1, and Sr was 1.76% K-1 based on the FIR detection technology, revealing obviously better than most inorganic optical temperature-measuring materials reported before. Our work indicates that Li4SrCaSi2O8-2yN4y/3:Eu2+ is a promising material for application in White LEDs and optical thermometers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
