Fine tuning the microenvironment of [EuW10O36]9- anion leads to the large enhancement of the red light luminescence
(Elsevier, 2017-12)
The polyoxometalate (POM) anion of europium (III) decatungstate [EuW10O36]9-exhibits great luminescence quantum yields of approximately 67% but suffers reduced red light emissions that are due to the low 5D0→7F2 transmissions. ...
