Abstract:

Herein, we reported the synthesis and investigation of highly luminescent quadruple-stranded helicate (C6H16N)4[Eu2(MBDA)4]2.3C4H10O·4C2H3N(1-Eu)[H2MBDA=N-methyl-4,4'-bis(4,4,4-trifluoro-1,3-dioxobutyl)di- phenylamine] for its stability toward metal ions in the solution. The material was characterized via X-ray crystallographic technique, Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of- flight(ESI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The results on the luminescence quantum yields clearly demonstrate that the ligand can effectively sensitize the luminescence of the Eu3+ ions(Φoverall=15%). Upon the addition of different metal ions(i. e., Ag+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Fe3+, Al3+ and Ni2+) to the CH3CN solution of compound 1-Eu, the emission intensities of Eu3+ ions at 612 nm were affected to some extent, which could be attributed to the presence of ion exchanges between Eu3+ ions and the metals ions, and the result was confirmed by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.
