K(+)-Induced in situ self-assembly of near-infrared luminescent membrane material armored with bigger Yb(III) complex crystallites

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Apr 14;52(29):5124-7. doi: 10.1039/c6cc01938b. Epub 2016 Mar 18.

Abstract

A semi-rigid ligand could capture effectively Yb(3+) ions to form a stable Yb(3+) complex and provide a potential cavity to accommodate alkali metal ions. Only K(+) ions could induce the Yb(3+) complex to form a 1D coordination polymer and promote the in situ formation of an NIR membrane coated with bigger Yb(3+) complex crystallites under mild conditions.
