N2 - Two stoichiometric metal-organic frameworks containing Eu3+ cations are probed as candidates for photon-based quantum information storage. Synthesis procedures for growing 0.2 mm, rod-shaped Eu(HCOO)3 and 1–3 mm, rhombohedral Eu(HCOO)3⋅(HCONH2)2 single crystals are presented with visible precipitation as soon as 1 h into heating for Eu(HCOO)3 and 24 h for Eu(HCOO)3⋅(HCONH2)2. Room temperature and 1.4 K photoluminescence measurements of the 5D0→ 7FJ transitions of Eu3+ are analyzed for both compounds. Comparisons of peak width and intensity are discussed along with the notable first report for both of the 5D0→ 7F0 transition, the hyperfine structure of which has potential use in quantum memory applications. The air instability of Eu(HCOO)3⋅(HCONH2)2 and the transformation of its photoluminescence properties are discussed.
