Room temperature phosphorescence of Mn(ii) and Zn(ii) coordination polymers for photoelectron response applications.

Room temperature phosphorescence of Mn(ii) and Zn(ii) based coordination polymers (Mn-CP and Zn-CP) with a different mechanism was confirmed by experiments and theory calculations. The Mn-CP exhibits high photoelectron response performance while Zn-CP can generate frequency tunable alternating current when the period of on-off illumination is changed.
