Luminescent Hybrid Material Based on the Europium(III)–β-Diketone Complex Doped with Smectite

Abstract

Front Cover: An efficient luminescent hybrid material was prepared by hybridizing an Eu(III) complex with the layered clay compound smectite using a straightforward doping method. The luminescence intensity and quantum efficiency of the Eu(III) complex were enhanced by interacting with smectite in the solution state. This type of luminescent hybrid material offers a promising opportunity for high-luminescence imaging devices.
