| The luminescent properties of tetrahedral metal ions coordinated to imidazolide bridge polymers are under investigation for the next generation of advanced display technology. Cadmium and zinc metals are each coordinated to imidazolide bridges with hydrogen, methyl or ethyl substituted functional groups. The six compounds emit luminescence when subjected to a Nd-YAG laser source, which is detected and characterized. The results demonstrate how the luminescence is affected by different functional groups and d10 electron configuration of the metals. |
