Terbium-fluorido cluster: an energy cage for photoluminescence

Abstract

We report here that energy migration during luminescence can be extremely minimized by caging the fluorescent centers in a molecular cluster of [Tb63-F)8(piv)10(Hpiv)4DMF]·xDMF·yH2O 1. Experimental and theoretical simulations reveal that bonding terbium with fluoride is the key to reducing the non-radiative multi-phonon relaxation processes, which is disparate to the common hydroxy-based lanthanide clusters.
