Thermo-stable Lanthanoid Coordination Nanoparticles Composed of Luminescent Eu(III) Complexes and Organic Joint Ligands Using Micelle Techniques in Water

Abstract

Abstract Strong luminescent nanoparticles composed of lanthanoid coordination polymers using micelle reaction techniques, lanthanoid coordination nanoparticles, are reported. Size of the nanoparticles estimated using dynamic light-scattering measurements were found to be approximately 66 nm. Lanthanoid coordination nanoparticles were characterized using ESI-MS spectrometry, XRD measurements, and thermogravimetric analyses (TGA). Emission properties of lanthanoid coordination nanoparticles were estimated using emission spectra and emission lifetimes. These results indicate that nanoparticles composed of lanthanoid coordination polymers show effective luminescent properties and thermal stability such as bulk powders of lanthanoid coordination polymers.
