Luminescent lanthanide coordination polymer crystals (LCPCs) provide a high level of structural tunability, including size- and morphology-dependent properties; therefore, they are promising materials for next-generation phosphors in a wide range of applications such as light emitting diodes. By controlling the morphology of thermostable europium coordination polymer crystals researchers in Japan developed a novel red phosphor with narrow linewidth emission and characterized them through analysis. Size tunable crystalline polymer spheres had high internal quantum efficiency and high thermostability, and exhibited dispersibility in PMMA Poly(methyl methacrylate) media… read more.
