Inorganic and organic luminescent materials have been exhaustively explored for their applications in lighting, display and sensing devices. Recently, EU-funded researchers introduced new functionalities with the use of polyoxometalates.
The multi-faceted nature of metal-organic frameworks' (MOFs), which includes both an organic ligand and a metal ion, enables phenomena found in few other materials. In particular, porous MOFs offer a unique platform for the development of solid-state luminescent materials.
