Achieving exceptionally high luminescence quantum efficiency by immobilizing an AIE molecular chromophore into a metal-organic framework

We design a new yellow phosphor with high quantum yield by immobilizing a preselected chromophore into a rigid framework. Coating a blue light-emitting diode (LED) with this compound readily generates white light with high luminous efficacy. The new yellow phosphor demonstrates great potential for use in phosphor-converted white LEDs.
