Abstract

Lanthanide luminescent materials with high quantum yield and thermal stability are of key importance for their practical application. Here we report crystal structures and luminescent properties of [Eu(pfbz)2(phen)Cl] (1) and [Tb(pfbz)2(phen)Cl] (2) (pfbz = Pentafluorobenzoate). Single-crystal analysis reveals that both 1 and 2 crystallize in a polar space group of Cmc21. Investigation on their luminescent properties indicates that the solid-state quantum yields of 1 and 2 are 97.7% and 90.7%, respectively, while their efficiency of the sensitization process is as high as 100%, revealing that polar structures are more favorable to obtain high quantum yields. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals that both 1 and 2 can be stable up to 240 °C. More importantly, temperature-dependent luminescent spectra of 1 indicate its luminescent intensity at 612 nm only decreased by 5% from room temperature to 373 K, whereas at 373 K, its luminescent intensity remains almost constant for 36 h. Considering that 1 represents the highest quantum yield among known Eu-coordination polymers and its performance as the LED material is better than that of commercially widely used luminescent materials of (Sr,Ca)AlSiN3:Eu (630 nm) and (Sr,Ca)AlSiN3:Eu (640 nm), the present work provides an excellent substitute for commercial LED materials.
