Through-space Förster-type energy transfer in isostructural zirconium and hafnium-based metal–organic layers†
Abstract
Quantitative determination of energy transfer in isostructural Zr and Hf metal–organic layers (MOLs) by measuring fluorescence quenching upon doping the MOLs with a quencher or modifying the MOLs with a coumarin-343 dye revealed nearly identical energy transfer rates of the two MOLs, consistent with the dominance of through-space Förster-type energy transfer.
