Abstract:
A Cd(II)-Nd(III) nanocluster [Cd8Nd12L12(OAc)34(OH)6(H2O)2] (1) was constructed from the vanillin-type ligand 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde (HL). It shows temperature-dependent NIR luminescence and is used to detect aloe emodin (AE) through the quenching and enhancement of Nd(III) emission, which is controlled by excitation wavelengths. The luminescence response behavior of 1 toward AE is described by IEx490 nm/IEx390 nm = A*[AE]3 + B*[AE]2 + C*[AE] + D, which can be employed to determine AE concentrations in CH3CN and fetal calf serum.
