Preparation and Luminescence Behavior of CaSiO3：Eu^3＋（Bi^3＋）

CaSiO3：Eu0.08^3＋Bi0.002^3＋ with a monoclinic perovskite structure was synthesized by using sol-gel method, and its luminescence characteristics were investigated. From the excitation spectrum, it can be seen that the main peaks located at 238,396,415,437 and 359 nm correspond to the charge-transfer band of Eu^3＋-O^2- , the absorption transitions of ^7F0.1→^3L6, ^7F0→^5D3, ^7F1→^5D3 of Eu^3＋ ions, and ^3P1→^1S0 of Bi^3＋ ions, respectively. When the samples were excited with a light of wavelength 359 or 395 nm, it can be seen from the emission spectrum that the electronic dipole transition located at 609 nm corresponding to ^5D0→^7F2 of Eu^3＋ ions was stronger than the magnetic dipole transition located at 587 nm corresponding to ^5D0→^7F1 of Eu^3＋ ions, which shows that more Eu^3＋ ions were located in nonreversion center lattices. The energy transfer from Bi^3＋ ions to Eu^3＋ ions in the phosphor was also discussed. The results show that Eu^3＋ ions could be well sensitized by ^3＋ions, and the energy-transfer pattern between Bi^3＋ ions and Eu^3＋ ions was resonance energy transfer.

2, 4, 6-三甲基苯甲酸与5, 5'-二甲基-2, 2'-联吡啶构筑的系列镧系超分子配合物的晶体结构、热分解机理和性能

Six ternary lanthanide complexes formulated as [Ln(2, 4, 6-TMBA)₃(5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy)]₂ (Ln = Pr 1, Nd 2, Sm 3, Eu 4, Gd 5, Dy 6; 2, 4, 6-TMBA = 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoate; 5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy = 5, 5'-dimethyl-2, 2'-bipyridine) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, etc. The results of crystal diffraction analysis show that complexes 1–6 are binuclear units, crystallizing in the triclinic Pī space group. Complexes 1–5 are isostructural, and each of the central metal ions has a coordination number of 9. The asymmetric unit of complexes 1–5 consists of one Ln³⁺, one 5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy ligand, and three 2, 4, 6-TMBA^- moieties with three coordination modes: chelation bidentate, bridging bidentate, and bridging tridentate. The coordination geometry of Ln³⁺ is distorted monocapped square antiprismatic. The binuclear units of complexes 1–5 form a one-dimensional (1D) supramolecular chain along the c-axis via π–π stacking interactions between the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoic acid rings. The 1D chains are linked to form a supramolecular two-dimensional (2D) sheet in the bc plane via π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings. Although the molecular formulae of complex 6 and complexes 1–5 are similar, the coordination environment of the lanthanide ions is different in the two cases. The asymmetric unit of complex 6 contains a Dy³⁺ ion coordinated by a bidentate 5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy and three 2, 4, 6-TMBA^- ligands adopting bidentate and bridging bidentate coordination modes. The Dy³⁺ metal center has a coordination number of 8, with distorted square antiprismatic molecular geometry. The binuclear molecule of 6 is assembled into a six-nuclear unit by π–π weak staking interactions between two 5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy ligands; then, adjacent six-nuclear units form a 1D chain via offset π–π interactions between 5, 5'-DM-2, 2'-bipy ligands on different adjacent units. The adjacent 1D chains are linked by C―H···O hydrogen bonding interactions to form a 2D supramolecular structure. The thermal stability and thermal decomposition mechanism of all the complexes are investigated by the combination of thermogravimetry and infrared spectroscopy (TG/FTIR) techniques under a simulated air atmosphere in the temperature range of 298–973 K at a heating rate of 10 K·min^-1. Thermogravimetric studies show that this series of complexes have excellent thermal stability. During the thermal decomposition of the complex, the neutral ligand is lost first, followed by the acid ligand, and finally, the complex is decomposed into rare earth oxides. The three-dimensional infrared results are consistent with the thermogravimetric results. The photoluminescence spectra of complex 4 show the strong characteristic luminescence of Eu³⁺. The five typical emission peaks at 581, 591, 621, 651, and 701 nm correspond to the ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₀, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂, ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₃, and ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₄ electronic transitions of Eu³⁺, respectively. The emission at 621 nm is due to the electric dipole transition ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂, while that at 591 nm is assigned to the ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ the magnetic dipole transition. The lifetime (τ) of complex 4 is calculated as 1.15 ms based on the equation τ = (B₁τ₁² + B₂τ₂²))/(B₁τ₁ + B₂τ₂), and the intrinsic quantum yield is calculated to be 45.1%. Further, the magnetic properties of complex 6 in the temperature range of 2–300 K are studied under an applied magnetic field of 1000 Oe.

Large heteropolymetalate complexes formed from lanthanide (Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd), nickel cations and cryptate [As4W40O140]: synthesis and structure characterization

A new family of heteropolytungstate complexes (NH₄)₂₁[Ln(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·xH₂O(Ln=Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd) were prepared by the reaction of Na₂₇[NaAs₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·60H₂O with NiCl₂·6H₂O and Ln(NO₃)₃·xH₂O at pH≈4.5. The crystal structures of (NH₄)₂₁[Gd(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]·51H₂O was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis and element analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a=19.754(3), b=24.298(4), c=39.350(6) Å, β=100.612(3)°, V=18564(5) ų, Z=2, R1(wR₂)=0.0544(0.0691). The central site S1 and two opposite sites S2 of the big cyclic ligand [As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²⁸⁻ are occupied by one Ln³⁺and two Ni²⁺, respectively, each site supply four O_d coordinating to metal ion, another one water molecule and other five water molecules coordinate, respectively, to Ni²⁺and Ln³⁺. Polyanion [Ln(H₂O)₅{Ni(H₂O)}₂As₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²¹⁻ has C_2v symmetry. IR and UV–vis spectra of [NaAs₄W₄₀O₁₄₀]²⁷⁻ of the title compounds are discussed.     

1.54 and 1.75 μm infrared luminescence of Y2O3:Er

A new 1.75 μm infrared emission transition of Y₂O₃:Er³⁺ is assigned to the ⁴S_3/2 → ⁴I_9/2 transition of Er³⁺ ions situated at the C₂ sites of cubic RE₂O₃ (RE = Y, Gd, Lu). The intensities of features in the 1.54 μm ⁴I_15/2–⁴I_13/2 absorption transition due to Er³⁺ at S₆ and C₂ sites are consistent with the site occupation ratio and the relative magnetic dipole–electric dipole intensity contributions of Er³⁺ at the different sites. The 1.54 μm emission lines are predominantly from Er³⁺ ions at C₂ sites. The different behaviours of the emission intensities 1.75 and 1.54 μm groups with change in Er³⁺ dopant ion concentration, preparation technique, Yb³⁺ co-doping, temperature change and different excitation line are rationalized.     

醋酸铅作为铅源合成CH3NH3PbBr3-xClx纳米晶体颗粒

Lead acetate, which is highly soluble in dimethylformamide, was used to synthesize mixed halide perovskite CH₃NH₃PbBr_3-xCl_x (MA = CH₃NH₃, 0 ≤ x ≤ 3) nanocrystals (NCs). This method provides an approach to address the low solubility of lead halides, especially lead chloride. Different Br/Cl ratios in MAPbBr_3-xCl_x lead to various optical properties.

Atomic and molecular absorption spectra of indium in air-acetylene flame

Absorption spectra of both atomic and molecular species in the air-acetylene flame, which are produced when the aqueous solutions of indium dissolved in HNO₃, HF, HCl, HBr and HI were aspirated into the flame, have been investigated in the u.v. region. Numerous atomic absorption lines of indium have been observed in the absorption spectra. Most of these lines were previously listed only as emission lines. Those atomic lines have been ascribed to the electronic transitions from the ground states of 5p ²P_1/2⁰ and 5p ²P_3/2⁰ to the excited states such as ls ²S_1/2, md ²D_3/2, nd ²D_5/2, 4p^{2 4}P_1/2, 4p^{2 4}P_3/2 and 4p^{2 4}P_5/2, respectively, where 13 l 6 and 14 m,n 5. The molecular absorption bands for InF, InCl and InBr in the airacetylene flame have been also observed near 234 nm, 267 nm and 282 nm, respectively, as the electronic transition of ¹Σ⁺ → ¹Π₁ Those absorption bands show fine structures due to the molecular vibrations. The spectral parameters for the molecular vibrations have been obtained from the simulations of the observed spectra. The molecular absorption band for InI was not observed because of the decomposition of the molecule in the flame. In addition, the molecular absorption band for InO has been observed near 273 nm and those for NO near 205 and 215 nm.
