Abstract

The development of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) attracts interest due to their potential application in electroluminescent devices for full-color flat panel displays and television screens. Materials that present the possibility of color tuning can be applied for instance to produce different light emitting materials, including white emitters. However, obtaining efficient hosts to produce Rare Earth (RE) codoped compounds that allow to reduce concentration quenching effects as well as to improve quantum efficiency and tune the emission color are critical challenges in photonic science. Trivalent bismuth is nontoxic, non-carcinogenic and has an ionic radius, charge and coordination sphere similar to trivalent RE ions. Hence, Bi3+ based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are very advantageous hosts for RE-doped materials. Moreover, the so-called high-throughput (HT) synthesis methods are faster and more efficient than conventional approaches applied so far to discover new compounds and optimize synthesis procedures. Therefore, this method will be used here to obtain new MOFs containing the p-tetrakis-carboxymethylcalix-4-arene ligand and the Bi3+ ions. The new hosts materials will be doped with the RE ions, such as Eu3+, Tb3+, Sm3+, Gd3+, Tm3+, Dy3+ and mixtures thereof. The photoluminescent properties will be studied based on the excitation and emission spectra to characterize the energy transfer process between the excited states of the MOF host lattice to the emitters levels of the RE ions as well as the energy transfer between the dopant ions themselves. The lifetime of the emitting levels of the RE ions, the color CIE diagram (x,y), the experimental intensity parameters, the spontaneous emission coefficients and emission quantum efficiency will be determined. In addition, the influence of the crystal field on the transitions 5D0 -> 7FJ (J = 0-6) of Eu3+ ions will be applied to confirm the crystallographic position of the dopants. (AU)
