Despite Eu<sup>3+</sup> doped phosphors are widely used in white-LEDs, phosphors with high temperature sensitivity remain rare. Herein, NaLnTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> (Ln = Y and Gd) phosphors were synthesized using a rapid microwave-assisted solid-state (MASS) method to fulfill these applications. Under 395 nm excitation, NaLnTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> exhibit the characteristic <sup>5</sup>D<sub>0</sub>→<sup>7</sup>F<sub>J</sub> (J = 1–4) transitions of Eu<sup>3+</sup>. Substituting Gd<sup>3+</sup> for Y<sup>3+</sup> enhances the luminescence by approximately 2.42 times. Structural analyses reveal that the improved luminescent properties are attributed to the more distorted and appropriate coordination environment in NaGdTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup>. Finally, white-LEDs using NaGdTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> as the red-component produce white light with high <em>R</em><sub>a</sub> of 89. Furthermore, the distinct thermal responses of the <sup>5</sup>D<sub>0</sub> → <sup>7</sup>F<sub>J</sub> transitions enable NaLnTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> to function as temperature sensors via fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) strategy. NaYTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> possesses the maximum relative/absolute sensitivity of 1.45%/15.93% K<sup>−1</sup>, whereas NaGdTe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub>:Eu<sup>3+</sup> achieves the maximum relative/absolute sensitivity of 1.53%/30.24% K<sup>−1</sup>.

Traditionally, strategies for designing high-performance birefringent crystals have focused on modifying the parent structure. However, there are limited examples demonstrating how changing functional groups can effectively enhance birefringence (Δ<em>n</em>), as such changes often significantly alter the crystal structure. In this study, we propose a “functional group implantation” strategy aiming at significantly improving birefringent performance within the chalcogenide system. This involves replacing the isotropic [S]<sup>2</sup><sup>–</sup> ions with anisotropic π-conjugated [CO<sub>3</sub>]<sup>2–</sup> groups. We validated this approach through comprehensive comparisons between the chalcogenide [Ba<sub>3</sub>S][GeS<sub>4</sub>] and oxychalcogenide [Ba<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>][MS<sub>4</sub>] (M = Ge and Sn), both of which adopt the same space group and feature the same arrangements of functional groups. Experimental characterization and theoretical calculations confirm that the [CO<sub>3</sub>]<sup>2</sup><sup>–</sup> groups exhibit significantly greater polarization anisotropy than the [S]<sup>2</sup><sup>–</sup> groups. This difference leads to a marked increase in Δ<em>n</em> in [Ba<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>][MS<sub>4</sub>] (ranging from 0.088 to 0.112 at 546 nm) compared to [Ba<sub>3</sub>S][GeS<sub>4</sub>] (0.021 at 546 nm). This finding not only broadens the structural chemistry of π-conjugated chalcogenides but also illustrates the potential of functional group implantation for designing infrared birefringent crystals with enhanced optical anisotropy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10151,"journal":{"name":"结构化学","volume":"44 1","pages":"Article 100455"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143151359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the planar nature of MR-TADF materials leads to serve π-π stacking, which can result in concentration quenching and spectral broadening, thereby limiting their further application in OLEDs. Currently, to mitigate the π-π stacking in MR-TADF materials, steric modulation is a reliable design strategy for optimizing the related molecular structures. Depending on the specific shape and scope of steric modulation, it can be categorized into the introduction of bulky groups around the resonance core, “face-to-edge” and “face-to-face” shielding between the resonance core and the steric hindrance moiety. This review systematically summarizes the structural design of MR-TADF molecules based on the different steric modulation strategies and their progress in the doping concentration-independent OLEDs. It also discusses the challenges in this research area and offers an outlook on future developments. We believe that this review will drive the rapid industrialization of narrow-emission OLEDs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10151,"journal":{"name":"结构化学","volume":"44 1","pages":"Article 100451"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143151356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
