Abstract
Based on the mixed phthalate (phth2-) and adipate (ad2-), [Nd2(ad)(phth)2(H2O)4] (I) and [Ln(ad)0.5(phth)(H2O)2] (Ln = EuIII (II), GdIII (III), TbIII (IV), DyIII (V), ErIII (VI), TmIII (VII), 1EuIII:10TbIII (VIII), 3EuIII:10TbIII (IX), and 5EuIII:10TbIII (X)) were synthesized and characterized. Complexes VIII-X show excellent ratiometric temperature sensing behavior in physiological and higher temperature ranges (303-423 K) rendered by the TbIII-to-EuIII energy transfer process. The efficiency of the process as illustrated through the lifetime measurements depends on both the EuIII:TbIII mole ratio and the temperature. The performance of X in terms of relative sensitivity ( Sr), temperature resolution, and measurement repeatability were determined, revealing the maximum Sr ( Sm) of 1.21%·K-1 at 303 K with reliable temperature resolution and excellent repeatability.
