Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis peculiarities of lanthanide pyrenates, which reveal an unprecedented dehydration process in water: Yb(pyr)3(H2O)5 → Yb(pyr)3(H2O)1.5 → Yb(pyr)3. Ln(pyr)3 are isostructural in the row of Ln = Ce-Yb, and for highly crystalline Ho(pyr)3, the crystal structure was obtained by Rietveld refinement. The morphology evolution upon boiling was studied for ytterbium pyrenates, and the morphology was demonstrated to correlate with luminosity. We proposed the mechanism explaining this dependence and confirmed it through time-resolved photoluminescence studies. As a result of the morphology optimization, the quantum yield increased four times, and the highest to date quantum yield of a solid ytterbium complex was obtained (6.1% in Yb0.6Gd0.4(pyr)3).
