White light emission based on a single component Sm(<scp>iii</scp>) framework and a two component Eu(<scp>iii</scp>)-doped Gd(<scp>iii</scp>) framework constructed from 2,2′-diphenyl dicarboxylate and 1<i>H</i>-imidazo[4,5-<i>f</i>][1,10]-phenanthroline

Abstract

New 1D lanthanide-organic frameworks, [Ln(dpdc)1.5(IP)(H2O)]n (Ln = Sm 1, Eu 2, Gd 3; dpdc = 2,2'-diphenyldicarboxylate and IP = 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]-phenanthroline), were synthesized. White light emission was realized by two approaches: a single component Sm(iii) framework and a two-component Eu(iii)-doped Gd(iii) framework.
