Fluoride-enhanced lanthanide luminescence and white-light emitting in multifunctional Al3Ln2 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) heteropentanuclear complexes

Hai-Bing Xu, Xiao-Ming Chen, Qi-Sheng Zhang, Li-Yi Zhang and Zhong-Ning Chen


Multifunctional heteropentanuclear Al3Ln2 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) clusters with a novel structure exhibit significantly fluoride-enhanced lanthanide emission intensity and lifetime in both solid state and solution as well as unusual white-light emitting for an Al3Eu2 complex.
