Luminescent Eu(III)-based Coordination Polymers for Photonic Materials

Eu(III) coordination polymers show red luminescence based on the 4f-4f transitions. The emission spectra are observed by excitation at a pi-pi* transition band of organic ligands in coordination polymers. The characteristic luminescence is dependent on their coordination geometry, vibrational structures and energy levels of organic ligands. In this review, their photophysical properties are introduced for future photonic materials.

Automated summary

Eu(III) coordination polymers exhibit red luminescence through 4f-4f transitions. The emission spectra are observed by exciting the organic ligands at the pi-pi* transition band in the coordination polymers. The characteristic luminescence is determined by the coordination geometry, vibrational structures, and energy levels of the organic ligands. In this review, the photophysical properties of Eu(III) coordination polymers are introduced for their potential use in future photonic materials.
