Dual Emission in the Near-Infrared and Visible Regions from a Mixed Cyanido-Bridged Eu^III/Nd^III(4-OHpy)-Co^III Layered Material.

ABSTRACT: Coordination polymers (CPs) with a dual emission spanning from the visible (vis) to near-infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are used for optical sensors, medical diagnostics, and telecommunication technologies. We herein report the synthesis, structural characterization, and optical response of heterometallic cyanido-bridged layered {[Eu_xNd_y(4-OHpy)₂(H₂O)₃][Co(CN)₆]} CPs, where 4-OHpy = 4-hydroxypyridine, with a multicolor emission profile across the vis and NIR regions. The crystals show an efficient energy transfer (ET) from the 4-OHpy ligand and the [Co(CN)₆] ions to the Eu³⁺ and Nd³⁺ ions, resulting in an enhanced photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. We stu
