The synthesis of Europium-doped Strontium based benzene dicarboxylate dimethylformamide metal–organic framework- Eu([Sr(μ-BDC)(DMF)])- with short form as Eu:SBD@MOF was carried out using the solvothermal method. The investigation involved characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), CHN analysis, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) elemental analysis. The results confirmed the formation of metal–organic crystals in the framework. The XRD characterization shows good alignment with the simulated pattern of SBD. The experimental absorption spectrum displays distinct transitions of the Eu (III) ion alongside transitions of the ligands. Calculations of line strengths for all observed transitions have been conducted. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been employed to determine intensity parameters, transition probabilities, branching ratios, and radiative lifetimes for the Eu: SBD@MOF. These JO parameters further aid in calculating various excited state properties. When excited by ultraviolet and visible photons, the complex exhibits emission in the red region respectively. The crystal’s dielectric loss and dielectric constant were investigated for their frequency dependence. It was observed that by virtue of DMF, a molecule linked to the crystal, a synthesized MOF exhibits a good dielectric characteristic and when the temperature is raised to 558 K, the dielectric constant drops sharply as DMF molecule could not stand after this temperature. Further ferroelectric studies reveal that the Eu: SBD@MOF has maximum polarization of 0.27 C/cm2 which is greater than Rochelle salt and other MOF’s. Exploring the broadband dielectric response of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) open up new avenues in research, potentially leading to innovative applications in smart optoelectronics, terahertz sensors, high-speed telecommunications, and microelectronics. |
