A novel bis-β-diketone ligand (BTPB) enables the creation of a unique samarium complex exhibiting tunable white light emission. This discovery advances lanthanide-based luminescent materials for potential applications.

Area of Science:

  • Coordination Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Photophysics

Background:

  • Lanthanide complexes are explored for luminescent applications.
  • Developing single-molecule white light emitters remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and synthesize a novel bis-β-diketone ligand (BTPB).
  • To investigate the photophysical properties of BTPB-based lanthanide complexes.
  • To achieve tunable white light emission from a single molecule samarium complex.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of the bis-β-diketone ligand BTPB.
  • Formation and characterization of dinuclear lanthanide complexes (Sm2(BTPB)3 and Gd2(BTPB)3).
  • Spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis absorption, emission) to study photophysical properties.

Main Results:

  • Novel dinuclear samarium and gadolinium complexes were synthesized and characterized.
  • The samarium complex (Sm2(BTPB)3) exhibits both BTPB-based blue/green and Sm(iii)-based red emission.
  • Tunable white light emission was achieved by varying excitation wavelength and concentration.

Conclusions:

  • The BTPB ligand facilitates the formation of luminescent lanthanide complexes.
  • Single-molecule white light emission from a samarium complex was successfully demonstrated.
  • This work offers a new pathway for designing advanced luminescent materials.
