Abstract
A method of preparing a hybrid inorganic-organic metal organic framework compound in the form of 3TCC@MOF-177 solids, with high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (PLQY) by mixing a dye in the form of 1-cyano-2-[α-terthiophen-2-yl]-vinyl)carboxylic acid with a metal organic framework in the form of MOF-177 in an organic solvent (such as methanol, glycerol, DMF, ethanol) to form a solvent mixture and heating the solvent mixture to obtain the hybrid inorganic-organic Metal (MOF) compound. The PLQY of the hybrid inorganic-organic MOF compound prepared using the method is enhanced by more than 25% than any materials produced by conventional methods.
