A K–Eu bimetallic ammonium metal-nitrate three-dimensional
(3D) framework incorporating R-N-methyl-3-hydroxyquinuclidine,
(RM3HQ)2KEu(NO3)6 (RM3HQ = R-N-methyl-3-hydroxyquinuclidine, 1), was characterized
and reported. Distinguishing from the former hybrid rare-earth double
perovskites, 1 adopts a mixed corner- and face-sharing
K+/Eu3+-centered polyhedral connectivity to
form a 3D inorganic framework, showing a rare (6, 6)-connected ion
topology with a 66 framework. Notably, 1 exhibits
clear phase transition, and the switchable thermodynamic behavior
is confirmed by variable-temperature dielectric measurements and second-harmonic
generation response. Moreover, 1 also shows photoluminescence
properties. The activator Eu3+ plays a crucial role in
this process, leading to a significant narrow emission at 592 nm with
a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 20.76%. The fluorescence
lifetime (FLT) of 1 is 4.32 ms. This finding enriches
the bimetallic hybrid system for potential electronic and/or luminescence
applications.
