Luminescent Properties of Terbium（Ⅲ） and Europium（Ⅲ）Complexes with Six 4-Acetyl-bispyrazolones

The lowest triplet energy levels of the six ligands（T） were determined to be 22989 cm-1[1,3-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazolon-4＇）-1,3-propanedione,BPMPTD],23148 cm-1[1,4-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazolon-4＇）-1,4-butanedione,BPMPBD],23419 cm-1[1,5-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazolon-4＇）-1,5-pentane-dione,BPMPPD],23310 cm-1[1,6-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazolon-4＇）-1,6-hexanedione,BPMPHD],21978 cm-1[1,9-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazolon-4＇）-l,9-nonanedione,BPMPND] and 21930 cm-1[1,10-bis-（1＇-phenyl-3＇-methyl-5＇-pyrazoion-4＇）-1,10-decanedione,BPMPDD],respectively.It was explained satisfactorily that the six ligands are more efficient for sensitizing the luminescence of Tb3＋ than that of Eu3＋ at room temperature,and the order of the luminescent intensities for the Tb3＋ complexes is explained by the relative energy gap between T and 5DJ of Tb3＋ or Eu3＋.As a conclusion,when 2700 cm-1＜△E（T-5D4）＜3000 cm-1,the luminescent intensity of the Tb3＋ complex is the strongest.This means that the lowest triplet energy level of the ligand is a chief factor to dominate RE3＋luminescence.

Preparation and Luminescence Properties of Color-tunable Single-phased LaPO4: Eu3+/Tb3+ Phosphors

A novel series of color-tunable single-phased phosphors La_1-x-yPO₄:xEu³⁺/yTb³⁺(x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05; y=0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) was synthesized via microwave-assisted co-precipitation method with diammonium hydrogen phosphate as precipitant. The morphology, crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The results reveal that the as-synthesized samples calcined at 1100℃ display spherical morphology with uniform distribution. Upon excitation with 350 nm ultraviolet radiation, the LaPO₄:Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ phosphors showed a green light peaking at 543 nm assigned to the characteristic ⁵D₄-⁷F₅ emission of Tb³⁺ and a red light peaking at 591 nm corresponding to the characteristic ⁵D₀-⁷F₁ emission of Eu³⁺ simultaneously. For the Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ co-activated phosphors, Tb³⁺ acts as an efficient sensitizer to enhance the emission intensity of Eu³⁺ ions. The energy transfer mechanism and the emission color tunability of LaPO₄:Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ have been studied. The results indicate that a color-tunable luminescence(from green to white to red) can be achieved by adjusting the Eu³⁺/Tb³⁺ doping ratio in the LaPO₄ host matrix.

The luminescent properties of divalent europium complexes of crown ethers and cryptands

The luminescent properties of divalent europium complexes with crown ether, azacrown ether, N-pivot-azacrown ether, and cryptand in methanol or water have been systematically investigated under UV irradiation. These divalent europium complexes show greatly enhanced emission from 417 nm to 488 nm in the visible blue region in comparison with that of the methanol solution of EuCl₂. The aqueous solution of EuCl₂ is non-luminescent. This obvious distinction in luminescent properties between the macrocyclic ligand-coordinated divalent europium and uncoordinated divalent europium is attributed to the “insulation effect” of Eu²⁺ ion from the solvent molecules of CH₃OH and H₂O by the macrocyclic crown ether or cryptand encapsulation to divalent europium. Moreover, these macrocyclic ligands provide an additional restriction to the electronic charge expansion of the excited Eu²⁺. This also contributes to the enhancement of the Eu²⁺ luminescence. Among all the investigated macrocyclic ligands, 15-crown-5 (15C5) affords the largest enhancement to the Eu²⁺ emission. The intensity of the Eu²⁺–15C5 complex is 690 times that of the EuCl₂ methanol solution with the same Eu²⁺ concentration. This special emission enhancement effect is related to the particular complex composition of 1:3 (Eu²⁺:15C5) and corresponding configuration of Eu²⁺–15C5 complex in methanol. Concerning the mechanism, the luminescence enhancement of divalent europium by complexation with these macrocyclic crown ether or cryptand ligands is found to be initiated from the decrease in non-radiative rate constant rather than from the increase in radiative one.

The divalent europium complexes of methacrylate polymeric polyether derivatives such as 15C5-, 18-crown-6- (18C6), and cryptand [2.2.1]- or [2.2.2]-containing polymer and copolymer have also been prepared. Their luminescent properties in solid state have been studied to aim for practical application. As a similar situation to the simple polyether complexes, the divalent europium complex with 15C5-containing polymer or copolymer shows the largest luminescent enhancement effect. Its emission intensity reaches about 20% that of the commercial inorganic luminescence product CaWO₄:Pb (NBS 1026). In addition, the doping effect of several divalent ions, namely Mg, Sr, Ba and Zn in polymeric complexes, has also been investigated according to the luminescence concentration quenching mechanism in solid state luminescence materials. The emission intensity of 15C5-containing polymer europium(II) complex is raised to twice stronger by doping of Zn²⁺ ion.     

Synthesis of a di(2-picolyl)amino-β-diketone dual-functional ligand that can coordinate to europium(III) for responding to copper(II) and sulfide ions

Lanthanide complex-based luminescent probes/chemosensors have shown great utilities in various biological and environmental assays with time-resolved detection mode to eliminate background noises. In this work, by conjugating di(2-picolyl)amine (DPA) with a tetradentate β-diketone 1,2-bis[4'- (1",1",1",2",2"-pentafluoro-3",5"-pentanedion-5"-yl)benzyl]-4-chlorosulfo-benzene (BPPBCB), a novel dual-functional ligand that can coordinate to Eu³⁺ for responding to Cu²⁺ and S^2- ions in aqueous media, DPA-BPPBCB, has been designed and synthesized. The β-diketone moiety of DPA-BPPBCB can form a strongly luminescent complex with Eu³⁺. Upon reaction with Cu²⁺, accompanied by the formation of heterobimetallic complex Cu²⁺-DPA-BPPBCB-Eu³⁺, the Eu³⁺ luminescence was quenched. While in the presence of S^2-, owing to the high affinity of S^2- to Cu²⁺, stable CuS was formed, which resulted in the release of Cu²⁺ from Cu²⁺-DPA-BPPBCB-Eu³⁺, to restore the luminescence of the Eu³⁺ complex. This unique “on-off-on” luminescence response of the Eu³⁺ complex enabled Cu²⁺ and S^2- ions in aqueous media to be detected with time-resolved luminescence detection mode.     

Covalently assembly and photophysical properties of novel lanthanide centered hybrid materials by functionalized thioacylureas bridge

A novel molecular precursor (abbreviated as TAM-Si) derives from thioacetaminde (TAM) modified by 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl isocyanate (TEPIC) though the hydrogen transfer addition reaction. Then TAM-Si behaves as functional molecular bridge which coordinates to RE³ (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺) as well as form SiO network with inorganic precursor (TEOS) after a sol–gel process (cohydrolysis and copolycondensation reaction), resulting in the covalently bonded hybrid materials (RE–TAM-Si). On the other hand, the hybrid material of TAM-Si without introduction of RE³⁺ as well has been obtained. SEM pictures indicate that the TAM-Si show the sphere micromorphology with particle size of micrometer dimension while RE–TAM-Si hybrids present different nanometer particle, which suggests that lanthanide ions has influence on the microstructure of hybrid systems through its coordinated effect. The blue emission for TAM-Si hybrids and the narrow-width green and red emissions were achieved for Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions, respectively, indicating that the intramolecular energy transfer process take place from photoactive group to Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions in these hybrid microsphere systems. Especially the lifetime and quantum efficiency for europium hybrids have been determined.

作为绿色照明光源的典型代表,白光发光二极管(LED)被誉为21世纪的新一代照明光源。而作为白光LED重要组成部分的荧光粉,对其性能要求也不断被提升。Eu~(2+)和Eu~(3+)由于其电子结构上的差别导致其截然不同的发光性质。其中,Eu~(2+)的特征发射为4f–4f跃迁,而Eu~(3+)离子的特征发射为4f–5d跃迁。为了结合两者各自的发光特性,近年来对于混合价态Eu离子的研究成为热点。混合价态Eu离子掺杂荧光粉结合了Eu~(2+)和Eu3+离子各自的发光特点,具有颜色灵活可调的优良性质。本文主要从Eu~(2+)、Eu~(3+)各自性质出发,从不等价取代、晶场调控等三个方面综述了混合价态Eu(+2,+3)离子激活的单一基质发光材料近年来的研究进展。此外,对不同方法制备的混合价态Eu离子掺杂荧光粉的发光性能及发光机理也进行了归纳总结,为无机荧光材料的发展提供了新的思路。

Enhancement of luminescence efficiency of f–f transitions from Tb due to energy transfer from Ce in Al2O3 crystalline ceramic powders prepared by low temperature direct combustion synthesis

In this Letter, we report the structural and luminescent properties of Tb:Ce:Al₂O₃ crystalline ceramic powders prepared through combustion synthesis at low temperature (280 °C). The presence of Ce³⁺ (1.0 mol%) in the sample resulted in an enhancement of Tb³⁺ (1.0 mol%) overall emission intensity by a factor of 50. The analysis of the luminescence dynamics for the ⁵D₄ → ⁷F₆ transition (545 nm) of Tb³⁺ demonstrated that the mechanism responsible for the large enhancement of luminescence observed is efficient energy transfer from Ce³⁺ to Tb³⁺.     

Quadruple-stranded Eu-helicate Assembled from Bis-β-diketonate: Its Stability Towards Metal Ions

Herein, we reported the synthesis and investigation of highly luminescent quadruple-stranded helicate (C₆H₁₆N)₄[Eu₂(MBDA)₄]₂^.3C₄H₁₀O·4C₂H₃N(1-Eu)[H₂MBDA=N-methyl-4,4'-bis(4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-dioxobutyl)di- phenylamine] for its stability toward metal ions in the solution. The material was characterized via X-ray crystallographic technique, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of- flight(ESI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The results on the luminescence quantum yields clearly demonstrate that the ligand can effectively sensitize the luminescence of the Eu³⁺ ions(Φ_overall=15%). Upon the addition of different metal ions(i. e., Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Zn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Al³⁺ and Ni²⁺) to the CH₃CN solution of compound 1-Eu, the emission intensities of Eu³⁺ ions at 612 nm were affected to some extent, which could be attributed to the presence of ion exchanges between Eu³⁺ ions and the metals ions, and the result was confirmed by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Covalently bonded assembly and photoluminescent properties of rare earth/silica/poly(methyl methacrylate-co-maleic anhydride) hybrid materials

Copolymer (MMA-co-MAL) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and maleic anhydride (MAL) was prepared and grafted by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APES), which behaves as the structural precursor for functional bridge to assemble the covalently bonded systems through the coordination to rare earth ions (Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺) with carboxylic groups of maleic anhydride. On the other hand, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) is engaged in a second functional ligand to sensitize the luminescence of RE³⁺ (rare earth ions) by intramolecular energy transfer process. Meanwhile, the cohydrolysis and copolycondensation processes happened between triethoxysilyl of modified copolymer (MMA-co-MAL-APES) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with Si–O covalent bonds, resulting in the polymer-inorganic hybrids (phen-RE-MMA MMA-co-MAL-Si) exhibiting characteristic red or green emissions of Eu or Tb ions. Especially the luminescent quantum efficiencies of europium hybrid systems are estimated and discussed in detail.

Facile Chemical Conversion Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Uniform YF3 Nanowires

Well-dispersed YF₃ nanowires were synthesized by a designed hydrothermal conversion method with Y(OH)₃ nanowires as precursor. Various equipments were used to characterize the samples. The results show that Y(OH)₃ nanowires precursor was prepared through a simple hydrothermal process, which then served as the precursor for the fabrication of YF₃ nanowires by a hydrothermal process. The whole process was carried out under aqueous conditions without any organic solvent, surfactant or catalyst. The conversion process from Y(OH)₃ precursor to YF₃ nanowires was investigated by time-dependent experiments. The possible formation mechanism of YF₃ nanowires was presented in detail. Under UV excitation, 5%(mass fraction) Eu³⁺ or 5%(mass fraction) Tb³⁺ doped YF₃ samples exhibit strong red or green emission, corresponding to the characteristic lines of Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺, respectively. Moreover, the luminescence colors of the Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ codoped YF₃ samples can be tuned from red, yellow and green-yellow to green by simply adjusting the relative doping concentrations of the activator ions under a single wavelength excitation, which might find potential applications in the fields of, such as, light display systems and opto- electronic devices.     

在发光二极管背光源上极具应用前景的Beta-sialon (Si6-zAlzOzN8-z):Eu2+窄带绿色荧光粉

基于氮化镓的白光发光二极管(LED)是目前一项崭新的背光源技术,广泛应用于宽色域、高光效的液晶显示屏。 在此项技术中,作为关键材料的荧光粉决定着背光单元的色域范围、发光效率和可靠性,因而要求它应具合适的发射波长和窄带发射。 β-sialon:Eu²⁺(sialon:silicon aluminum oxynitride(赛龙))就是一款非常适合背光应用的绿色荧光粉,这得益于其位于525~545 nm发射峰和只有55 nm狭窄的峰宽。 此文回顾和综述了β-sialon:Eu²⁺的合成方法、光谱特性、电子结构、晶体结构、可靠性和它的具体应用。 计算模拟和实验测试结果表明,Eu²⁺位于沿c轴方向的大孔道之中,并与6个最紧邻的(O,N)原子等距离配位。 因而,Eu²⁺的狭窄发射峰源自于Eu²⁺局域结构的高度对称性。 β-sialon:Eu²⁺的发射波长和带宽都能通过组成裁剪,即z值,进行调控;低z值组成能够实现更短波长发射和更窄带宽。 与传统的基于钇铝石榴石(YAG)荧光粉的背光源相比,β-sialon:Eu²⁺再搭配红色荧光粉制备的背光源具有更宽的色域,色域范围可提高15%以上。 其优异的发光性能和高可靠性使得β-sialon:Eu²⁺成为应用于先进显示屏的极其重要的绿色发光材料。     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic, Thermochemical Properties of Lanthanide Complexes with 3,4-Diethoxybenzoic Acid and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Three novel lanthanide complexes [Ln(3,4-DEOBA)₃phen]₂[Ln=Eu(1), Tb(2), Dy(3); 3,4-DEOBA=3,4- diethoxybenzoate; phen=1,10-phenanthroline] were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrometry. The luminescence spectra of complexes 1 and 2 show the characteristic emission of Eu³⁺ ion(⁵D₀→⁷F_0-3) and Tb³⁺ ion(⁵D₄→⁷F_6-3). The thermal decomposition mechanism of the title complexes and the analysis of the evolved gases were investigated by thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry-Fourier transform infrared(TG/DSC-FTIR) technology. The results indicate the complexes are thermally stable. In the thermal decomposition of the complexes, phen molecules lost firstly, and then 3,4-DEOBA ligand decomposed into H₂O, CO₂ and other gaseous molecules. Besides, several gaseous organic fragments were also detected. The heat capacities of complexes 1―3 were measured by DSC in a temperature range of 263.15―340.15 K. Based on the fitted polynomial and thermodynamic equations, the smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the three complexes were calculated. The study on biological activity showed that the complexes exhibited good antibacterial activity against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

镧系金属配位聚合物因其独特的组成、结构和性质被广泛应用于荧光识别检测性质研究,但其功能导向构筑依然具有挑战性。本文基于双功能基团配体构筑策略构筑了一例Tb~(3+)配位聚合物[Tb(TZI)(DMF)_2(H_2O)]·(H_2O)(1)((H_3TZI=5-(1-氢-5-四唑基)间苯二甲酸,DMF=N,N-二甲基甲酰胺)),在对其进行详细结构表征的基础上研究了其金属离子识别检测性质。结果表明,基于羧酸和四唑基团与Tb~(3+)离子配位能力的不同,在确保Tb~(3+)配位聚合物成功构筑的同时可将四唑作为识别位点引入配位聚合物框架,使得配合物1可展现出基于金属离子与四唑功能位点配位导致的荧光增强,可实现对Zn~(2+)和Na~+离子的识别检测。本文所报道的结果可为镧系金属配位聚合物的荧光识别检测性质导向构筑提供有价值的参考。     

Structural and spectroscopic investigations of europium(III) entrapped by the ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonate) ligand in K12H8[Eu4(EDTMP)4] · 45H2O crystal

The X-ray crystal structure of an anionic octacoordinate Eu³⁺ complex of the formula K₁₂H₈[Eu₄(EDTMP)₄] · 45H₂O, where EDTMP is the ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonate) anion, hereinafter referred to as I, has been determined. The crystal consists of cyclic tetrameric complex anions, in which the surrounding of each Eu³⁺ ion is composed of two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms from phosphonate groups. One of the phosphonate groups in the ligand molecule is tridentate (O:O′,O″), thus giving rise to the formation of the tetramers. The compound was characterized by UV–Vis electronic spectroscopy. At room and liquid nitrogen temperatures the complex shows luminescence from both ⁵D₀ and ⁵D₁ states, the latter one, which is very rare in Eu³⁺ compounds with organic ligands, is probably brought about by the saturation of the coordination sphere with the phosphonate groups.
