Within solid-state chemistry, coordination polymers have gained interest for use in various applications such as sensing, catalysis, display technology, hydrogen storage, etc. The use of lanthanide ions in these materials provides a mean of exploring how structure may affect luminescence efficiency. In this study, the photophysics of several lanthanide benzenecarboxylates was studied. This data combined with data from other coordination polymers created in our lab indicate that the established guidelines for producing highly efficient materials may not correlate directly from solution to the solid state and that structure may also play a role. / by Jessica Montressa Clark. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.
