Synthesis and photophysical properties of novel organic–inorganic hybrid materials covalently linked to a europium complex

A novel sol–gel derived hybrid material (classed as Eu-DBM-Si) covalently grafted with Eu(DBM-OH) 3·2H 2O (where DBM-OH = o-hydroxydibenzoylmethane) was prepared through the primary β-diketone ligand DBM-OH. All the synthesized ligands were characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analyses and Fourier tra...

Summary:A novel sol–gel derived hybrid material (classed as Eu-DBM-Si) covalently grafted with Eu(DBM-OH) 3·2H 2O (where DBM-OH = o-hydroxydibenzoylmethane) was prepared through the primary β-diketone ligand DBM-OH. All the synthesized ligands were characterized by 1H NMR, elemental analyses and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The resultant Eu-DBM-Si material exhibited good transparent and homogenous property. Compared to the Eu-DBM hybrid prepared by physically doped silicon dioxide with Eu(DBM-OH) 3·2H 2O, the Eu-DBM-Si hybrid presented more efficient ligand-to-Eu 3+ energy transfer and a significant improvement in the measured emission quantum yield. Furthermore, the photophysical properties of these hybrid materials, such as the photoluminescence (PL) spectra, PL intensities, symmetry properties, lifetime decays, and Judd-Ofelt parameters were also investigated in detail.
