Abstract

Novel organic−inorganic mesoporous luminescent hybrid materials were prepared by linking the binary and ternary Eu3+ complexes to the functionalized ordered mesoporous SBA-15 with the modified 1-(2-naphthoyl)-3,3,3-trifluoroacetonate (NTA) by co-condensation of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of Pluronic P123 surfactant as a template. 1-(2-Naphthoyl)-3,3,3-trifluoroacetonate (NTA) grafted to the coupling agent 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate (TEPIC) was used as the precursor for the preparation of mesoporous materials. SBA-15 consisting of the highly luminescent ternary complex Eu(NTA)3bpy covalently bonded to the silica-based network, which was designated as Eu(NTA−SBA-15)3bpy, was obtained by introducing EuCl3 and 2,2‘-bipyridine (bpy) complex into the hybrid material via a ligand-exchange reaction. In addition, for comparison, SBA-15 doped with Eu(NTA)3·2H2O and Eu(NTA)3bpy complexes and SBA-15 covalently bonded with the binary Eu3+ complex with NTA ligand were also synthesized, denoted as...
