“…Usually, the structural symmetry and unit cell parameters play an essential role on the morphology of crystals that were grown from solutions without any restriction. For example, crystals grown by top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method or hydrothermal method can have their intrinsic crystallographic planes coexisting to form the surface, so crystal with a specific symmetry that is prepared by TSSG method usually have unique morphology. − However, the appearance of a crystal grown in a deeply controlled system is always determined by the external conditions such as growth speed, rotation speed, and rotation direction. A well-known example is YVO 4 single crystal grown by anisotropic heating floating zone method and Gd 3 Al 5 O 12 single crystal grown by micro-pulling-down method, which are commercially available and are widely used in the field of optoelectronics. , Generally, both crystals mentioned above are smooth, rod-like without any edge or angle because the nucleation and crystal growth are strongly restricted by the gas–liquid and solid–liquid interfaces.…”

This work reported an unpresented rare-earth-ion bearing metal–organic framework (MOF) Y10(C8H4O4)6(CO3)3(OH)12 built of inorganic slabs as structural units. Eu3+ has been introduced into the lattice of Y10(C8H4O4)6(CO3)3(OH)12 to make it optically active. Systematical structural analysis combined with single crystal X-ray diffraction demonstrates Eu3+ was incorporated into the lattice of Y10(C8H4O4)6(CO3)3(OH)12 endowing the MOF with promising optical activity. Even though there was a trace amount of Eu3+ < 1%, this compound displayed excellent luminescent activity with quantum efficiency reaching up to 69%, benefiting from the inorganic circumstance of Y3+/Eu3+ in layered structure. The concentration-dependent electronic transition character of Eu3+ is systematically studied, according to Judd–Ofelt theory normally applicable in inorganic compounds. The phase analysis and optical spectroscopy study result reveal that the local crystallographic circumstance of the rare-earth metal ion basically remained inactive after the replacement of Y3+ by Eu3+. Benefiting from this rigid structure, such Eu3+-substituted Y10(C8H4O4)6(CO3)3(OH)12 powder exhibits good luminescence probing ability toward Fe3+ ion, displaying a limit detection concentration of Fe3+ down to 12.7 μM in aqueous solution. The findings here confirm Eu3+ is not only an environmental probing ion but could also serve an ideal indicator for investigating the structure change and properties of luminescent MOFs for diverse applications.

“…In particular, the highest intensity modes in this range were centered at 124 and 154 cm -1 in the spectra. The low wavenumber/energy phonons detected in the Raman spectra in the range below * 360 cm -1 are of mixed type and are related to the relatively large atomic masses of Bi and Te atoms [8]. All above-given wavenumbers were determined for BTBO:Nd 3?…”

An efficient near-infrared quantum cutting process by cooperative down-conversion of active Bi3+ and Nd3+ ions was demonstrated in Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ phosphors. In particular, the near-infrared emission of Nd3+ ions enhanced by Bi3+ ions of a series of novel Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ microcrystalline powders doped with Nd3+ ions in various concentrations was investigated. In order to investigate the luminescent properties of BTBO:Nd3+ powders, the excitation and emission spectra and the fluorescence decay time were measured and analyzed. In particular, the emission of Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ at 890 and 1064 nm was excited at 327 nm (via energy transfer from Bi3+ ions) and at 586.4 nm (directly by Nd3+ ions). The highest intensity emission bands in near-infrared were detected in the spectra of Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ doped with 5.0 and 0.5 at.% of Nd3+ ions upon excitation in ultraviolet and visible spectral range, respectively. The fluorescence decay lifetime monitored at 1064 nm for Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ powders shows the single- or double-exponential character depending on the concentrations of Nd3+ ions. The possible mechanisms of energy relaxation after excitation Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ powders in ultraviolet or visible spectral range were discussed. The investigated Bi3TeBO9:Nd3+ phosphors efficiently concentrate the ultraviolet/visible radiation in the near-infrared spectral range and can be potentially used as effective spectral converters.

“…Borates are an attractive family of solid-state compounds owing to their rich structural chemistry and interesting physical properties, such as nonlinear optics, luminescence, and anomalous thermal expansion properties. − Over the past few decades, introducing oxo anions of post-transition groups (AlO 6 , GaO 6 , GeO 4 , PO 4 , SeO 3 , TeO 6 , etc.) into the borates has been reported to be an effective strategy to expand the borate family.…”

Using hydrothermal reactions, three series of rare-earth borate-sulfates, namely, RE(SO)[B(OH)](HO) (RE = La (1), Sm (2), Eu (3)), RE(SO)[B(OH)](HO) (RE = Pr (4), Nd (5), Sm (6), Eu (7), Gd (8)), and RE(SO)[B(OH)](HO)·HO (RE = Tb (9), Dy (10), Ho (11), Er (12), Tm (13), Yb (14), Lu (15), Y (16)), have been synthesized, which represent the first rare-earth borate-sulfate mixed-anion compounds. All these compounds possess the same fundamental building anionic units of SO and B(OH) tetrahedra; however, they exhibit three different types of two-dimensional (2D) layered structures composed of 1D RE-B-O and RE-S-O chains. The rare-earth borate chains are similar in all compounds, while the rare-earth sulfate chains differ in each type of compound due to the various coordination modes of sulfate groups. On the basis of the measured UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra, the optical band gaps of compounds 2, 3, 6, and 7 are estimated to be 4.66, 4.53, 4.62, and 4.50 eV, respectively. Luminescence studies show that compounds 2, 3, 6, and 7 exhibit strong emission in the orange or red regions. Furthermore, thermal analysis and magnetic susceptibility measurements for these four representative compounds have also been performed.
