title: Intercalation of organic sensitisers into layered europium hydroxide and enhanced luminescence property.
abstract: Two organic sensitisers 4-biphenylcarboxylate (BPC) and terephthalate (TA) were intercalated into the gallery of layered europium hydroxide (LEuH). PL spectra tests indicated that BPC markedly enhanced the red luminescence of Eu(3+) due to efficient energy transfer between BPC and Eu(3+), forming a contrast to intercalated TA and the starting NO(3)(-) anions in the gallery. The energy level matching of the organic guests and Eu(3+) was also discussed to explain the energy transfer from sensitiser to Eu(3+).
