Abstract:
A series of new visible and near-infrared (NIR) luminescent lanthanide-hydroxybenz[de]anthracen derivatives (Ln(HBAN)(3)(H(2)O)(2)(NO(3))(3), Ln(HBAN)(3)phen(NO(3))(3)) were synthesized (HBAN-6-hydroxybenz[de]anthracen-7-one, Ln=Eu, Yb, Nd). Further, chemically bonded lanthanide hybrids of functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-15) are prepared using HBAN-functionalized alkoxysilane (HBAN-Si) as linker, which is named as Ln(HBAN-SBA-15)(3)(NO(3))(3), Ln(HBAN-SBA-15)(3)phen(NO(3))(3) (Ln=Eu, Yb, Nd), respectively. The physical characterization and especially the photoluminescence properties for these hybrids are performed. SAXRD and BET of them revealed that all of these hybrid materials have uniformity in the mesostructure. Worth noting here is that the excitation spectra of these hybrid materials are extended to visible light region (439-535 nm). Upon ligand-mediated excitation with the ultraviolet and visible light, the visible luminescence for europium hybrids and NIR luminescence for Yb(3+) and Nd(3+) hybrids are obtained.
