Tailoring The Triplet Level Of Isomorphic Eu/Tb Mixed Mofs For Sensitive Temperature Sensing

Three different thermo-responsive fluorescent thermometers were constructed by regulating the triplet energy level of organic ligands in isostructural Eu/Tb mixed MOFs. Among them, a quite unusual and rarely reported temperature-dependent fluorescence behavior was observed in LnBDC-NH2, and Eu0.01Tb0.99NDC is effective in the physiological range with the maximum relative sensitivity of 7.32% degrees C-1.
