Blue-emitting cyanuric acid–melamine complexes from urea thermolysis

Novel blue-emitting cyanuric acid–melamine complexes CAx·M1−x (x = 0.8–0.9) have been prepared by a simple two-step procedure from urea. Relatively strong and pure blue-light emission with a maximum at 470 nm was observed from these complexes. These complexes are very promising light-emitting materials due to their good thermal stability.
