Abstract

A novel luminescent inorganic/organic hybrid nanosheet [Y 2(1-x)Eu2x(OH)5(TTA)n]+ was successfully synthesized. The photoluminescence of the hybrid nanosheet was significantly different from that of the unmodified nanosheet. The main charge transfer band Eu-O of the nanosheet was replaced by the more efficient π-π* electron transition band of the organic ligands in the hybrid. The emission bands of the 5D0-7F2 electric dipole transition in the hybrid were enhanced greatly. We also prepared a novel transparent thin film of the luminescent inorganic/organic hybrid on FTO glass by electrophoretic deposition. On being excited by ultraviolet radiation, the thin films show strong red emission. This journal is
