Abstract

Solid state metathesis was successfully used to synthesize pristine and Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺ doped GdVO₄ phosphor. Emission spectra could be interpreted on the basis of the known energy level structure. Observed lifetimes in the millisecond range are consistent with the forbidden nature of the transitions. The excitation could be achieved through the absorption by the host vanadate group. Results for the phosphors synthesized by the metathesis method are similar to those reported previously for the phosphors prepared by the conventional methods like solid state reaction. These results show that solid state metathesis can accomplish a simple, fast, economic route for producing vanadate based luminescent materials for various applications.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including: • Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.) • Chemical intermediates • Molecules in excited states • Biological molecules • Polymers. The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example: • Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near) • Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.) • Electronic absorption spectroscopy • Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism • Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques • Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc. • Microwave spectroscopy • Electron diffraction • NMR and ESR spectroscopies • Mössbauer spectroscopy • X-ray crystallography • Charge Density Analyses • Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods) We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
