Two series of three dimensional (3D) lanthanide metal-organic frameworks
(LnMOFs) of [Ln(tftpa)1.5(phen)(H2O)]n (Ln = Sm 1a,
Eu 1b, Tb 1c, Dy 1d, H2tftpa = tetrafluoroterephthalic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthrolin) and [Ln(tftpa)1.5(bpy)(H2O)]n (Ln = Sm 2a, Eu 2b, Tb 2c, Dy 2d, bpy = 2,2΄-bipyridine) are obtained by structural
regulation. Results reveal that the 3D LnMOFs show high water- and thermal-stability. Interestingly, through
selecting the perfluorinated ligand, and using bpy as an auxiliary ligand to hold
back the solvents near to the lanthanide ions,2b, and 2c show high luminescence quantum
yield (QY)of 74.50% and 60.03%, respectively. In order to further improve the
luminescence QY, the auxiliary ligand of phen with larger conjugation and more
rigid structure is synthesized to replace bpy, and fortunately,higher luminescence QYof 80.73% (1b) and 75.17% (1c) are realized.
