A study led by researchers from the ICN2 and the ICMAB and published in “Chemistry of Materials” demonstrated the remarkable and tunable optical properties of a set of new materials –made of metal-organic frameworks combined with lanthanide and carbon-boron clusters. By suspending these materials in water, luminescent watermarks and bar-codes that change in the microsecond scale can be printed on papers for anticounterfeiting purposes.
