Abstract: | Bridged polysilsesquioxanes (BPs) show great potential in the development of lanthanide‐based luminescent materials, owing to their capacity to loading lanthanide complexes with high concentration and their flexible processability. A novel BP precursor, consisting of a C 3‐symmetrical benzene central core moiety, capable of sensitizing the luminescence of Eu3+ and Tb3+ is reported. Tunable, full‐color luminescent gels were facilely prepared by mixing the as‐synthesized precursor and Ln3+ ions in appropriate solvents. By either changing the Eu3+/Tb3+ molar ratio or altering the excitation wavelength, the emission colors of the final gels can be finely tuned. Additionally, the yellow‐colored emissive gel with a molar ratio of Eu3+ to Tb3+ of 0.5 can be used as an effective ratiometric luminescent sensor for distinguishing amines with lower pK a (<5) from those with higher pK a (>9). |
