Bright sky-blue fluorescence with high color purity: assembly of luminescent diphenyl-anthracene lutetium-based coordination polymer

Pure sky-blue fluorescence (FWHM: 50 nm) from lutetium-based coordination polymer with diphenyl-anthracene derivative is demonstrated for the first time. The observed high color purity is based on the tightly packed crystal structure of the coordination polymer with multiple CH-F interactions.
