Abstract

A luminescent lanthanide metal-organic framework [Tb7(OH)8(H2O)6(IDA)3(COO)3]·4Cl·2H2O (Tb-IDA, IDA = iminodiacetic acid) was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Monitoring ultraviolet radiation was achieved by correlating the dosage with the luminescence color change in doped Gd99Tb0.1Eu0.9-IDA compound. A linear relationship is developed across a broad range from blue to yellow within a CIE chromaticity diagram.
