Abstract
The nanostructured material (NSM) of pure silica MCM-41 molecular sieve was synthesized with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the source of silica and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMABr) as the template under supersonic wave condition. Then NSM of (CH 3) 3Si–MCM-41 was obtained by introducing trimethylsilyl to MCM-41. (CH 3) 3Si–MCM-41 showed the similar TEM and XRD photographs with the normal crystal of MCM-41 and the diameter of the NSM crystallites with a hexagon shape is of about 10–40 nm. The dispersivity of (CH 3) 3Si–MCM-41 prevails over the NSM of MCM-41 as its hydrophobicity. The fluorescent intensity of (CH 3) 3Si–MCM-41 is 3.4 times as that of the MCM-41. The luminescent functional supramolecular nanostructured material was prepared in EtOH, and characterized by TEM, HRTEM, XRD, TG, IR, and elemental analysis. The results showed that the [Eu(Phen) 4](NO 3) 3 had entered into the channels of nanosized mesoporous sieve of (CH 3) 3Si–MCM-41, forming discrete centers of luminescence. The energy transferring of the host to guest, superficial effect of NSM, quanta tunnel effect, and discrete luminescent center result in the fluorescent intensity of the supramolecule enhancement.
