A method for producing a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine pigment includes a step of forming a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine crude pigment into a pigment. The halogenated zinc phthalocyanine crude pigment is obtained by depositing a halogenated zinc phthalocyanine, which is synthesized by using a compound that generates an acid by reacting with water, and the aforementioned step includes a pretreatment step of dry-crushing the halogenated zinc phthalocyanine crude pigment by using an attritor and then washing the dry-crushed halogenated zinc phthalocyanine crude pigment with water.

A method of preparing a hybrid inorganic-organic metal organic framework compound in the form of 3TCC@MOF-177 solids, with high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (PLQY) by mixing a dye in the form of 1-cyano-2-[-terthiophen-2-yl]-vinyl)carboxylic acid with a metal organic framework in the form of MOF-177 in an organic solvent (such as methanol, glycerol, DMF, ethanol) to form a solvent mixture and heating the solvent mixture to obtain the hybrid inorganic-organic Metal (MOF) compound. The PLQY of the hybrid inorganic-organic MOF compound prepared using the method is enhanced by more than 25% than any materials produced by conventional methods.
