‘HOT’ paper – hot off the press today!

Three novel inorganic–organic framework compounds containing different organic chromophore ligands  have been synthesized and evaluated for their use as phosphor materials for solid state lighting and other applications.

Anthony Cheetham and colleagues discuss the structural parameters necessary for efficient, ligand-centred luminescence in inorganic–organic framework compounds.
