A versatile platform for lanthanide(III)-containing organogelators: fabrication of the Er(III)-incorporated polymer nanocomposite from an organogel template

摘要

A versatile coordination structure for lanthanide(III) ions has been demonstrated. Complexes with various ions formed an entangled fibrous network in aliphatic solvents via organogelation. In particular, an Er(III)-containing polymer nanocomposite was fabricated from an organogel template via post-gelation polymerisation, showing an enhanced NIR emission.
