Anion/Cation(H2PO4- and Fe3+)induced dual luminescence quenching effect based on terbium solid sensor

摘要

An investigation on the photophysical properties of the newly designed terbium imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid complex encapsulated in the inert matrices(tetraethoxysilane,TEOS)was performed.The composite material was very stable and showed strong green emission in pure water.Interestingly,we discovered that the luminescence of hybrid material was selectively responsive to H2PO4-.1H-NMR and fluorescence spectra supported that the receptor had strong affinity to dihydrogen phosphate.Meanwhile,the luminescence was quenched by Fe3+ when adding different metal ions such as Fe3+,Pd2+,Cd2+,Co2+ and Mn2+ concomitantly.Moreover,thin film was successfully prepared by the same materials and it also exhibited selective recognition behavior to the above two ions.
