Full-colour fluorescent materials based on mixed-lanthanide(iii) metal-organic complexes with high-efficiency white light emission

Abstract

In this communication, we report a series of high-efficiency full-colour fluorescent materials based on isostructural mixed-lanthanide metal-organic complexes. By varying the stoichiometric ratio of the lanthanide ions, a fluent change of emission colours within the full-colour region was realized and strong white light-emission with a high quantum yield up to 62% was also achieved. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.
