Abstract
The isoreticular metal organic frameworks-3 (IRMOF-3)/non-stoichiometric thiol-ene (OSTE) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (BDC-NH2)/OSTE composites were synthesized via a photo-induced click reaction. Interestingly, through polymerization with OSTE, both the fluorescence lifetime and intensity of IRMOF-3 increased. Moreover, its two lifetimes merged into one, which could be ascribed to the inhibition of the dynamic non-radiative quenching process by the OSTE network. In contrast, the ligand maintained a single lifetime with only minor changes. The dilution effect of the thiol-ene mixed solution could effectively reduce the static photo-induced electron transfer process between the ligand and toluene molecules. After the post-synthetic polymerization (PSP) treatment, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of IRMOF-3 was increased from 7.2 % (in toluene) to 42.3 %, and that of the pure BDC-NH2 ligand was significantly enhanced from 1.8 % (in toluene) to 76.0 %. Moreover, when a commercially available 370-nm light-emitting diode (LED) chip was individually encapsulated by the two composites, it could emit intense indigo light. This rapid PSP treatment via the OSTE polymer holds promise for application in other excellent luminescent MOFs.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
