Abstract

Here we present metal-organic frameworks prepared by a one-step synthesis method, possessing both architectural properties of MOF building and up-conversion luminescence of rare earth Er3+ (hereafter denoted as Up-MOFs). Up-MOFs have characteristic up-conversion emissions at 520, 540, and 651 nm under the excitation of 980 nm owing to the multiple photon absorption. The up-conversion mechanism of these Up-MOFs has been discussed, and it can be attributed to the excited state absorption process. The design and synthesis of Up-MOF materials possessing near-infrared region excitation and up-conversion luminescence are fully expected to be candidates for the advancement of applications in bioimaging, sensors, optoelectronics, and energy conversion/storage devices.
