Abstract

The synthesized HN/OS-LYH composite (HN: 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, OS: 1-octane sulfonate, LYH: layered yttrium hydroxide) demonstrates tuned luminescence performance and sensitive recognition capability for Fe3+. In solid state, the HN/OS-LYH presents a green emission of 505 nm, with 40 nm blue shift relative to the 545 nm green emission of free HN-Na salt; under delamination in formamide (FM), the HN/OS-LYH displays a blue emission of 480 nm in contrast to a 515 nm emission of HNˉ in FM solution. The delaminated HN/OS-LYH exhibits excellent recognition capability towards Fe3+ with distinct fluorescence quenching. For Fe3+, a much large quenching constant of 3.85 × 103 M−1 and an extremely low detection limit of 1.14 × 10-8 M are achieved. The HN/OS-LYH is expected to be a "turn-off" type fluorescent sensor for Fe3+ detection. This work may provide new ideas for design of novel LRH composites which can be applied on fluorescent sensoring.
