Abstract

Functional materials with multiple optical properties have been investigated extensively in recent years because of their potential applications. Here we demonstrate a ladder polymer, [Zn 2 (benzoate) 4 (An2Py) 2 ], for its efficient light frequency up-conversion via multiphoton excitation at wavelengths ranging from 800 to 1500 nm. The zinc-based coordination polymer can be self-assembled from zinc(II) nitrate, trans, trans -9,10-bis(4-pyridylethenyl) anthracene (An2Py), and benzoate ligands furnishing a one-dimensional ladder structure. The coordination polymer exhibits a high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of 70%, a two-photon-absorption cross section of 890 GM at 800 nm, and a three-photon-absorption cross section of 3.1 × 10 –78 cm 6 s 2 photon –2 at 1200 nm. Furthermore, the coordination polymer in the form of nanoscale crystallites is capable of random lasing when pumped by 800 nm laser pulses with a threshold of 1.5 mJ/cm 2 .
