Two novel core-shell composites SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb, SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen with SiO₂ as the core and terbium organic complex as the shell, were successfully synthesized. The terbium ion was coordinated with organic ligand forming terbium organic complex in the shell layer. The bi-functional organosilane ((HOOC)₂C₆H₂(CONH(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₂CH₃)₃)₂ (abbreviated as PMDA-Si) was used as the first ligand and phen as the second ligand. Furthermore, the silica-modified SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb@SiO₂ and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen@SiO₂ core-shell-shell composites were also synthesized by sol-gel chemical route. An amorphous silica shell was coated around the SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb and SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen core-shell composites. The core-shell and core-shell-shell composites both exhibited excellent luminescence in solid state. The luminescence of core-shell-shell composites was stronger than that of core-shell composites. Meanwhile, an improved luminescence stability property for the core-shell-shell composites was found in the aqueous solution. The core-shell-shell composites exhibited bright luminescence, high stability, long lifetime, and good solubility, which may present potential applications in the bio-medical field.
成功合成了两种新型的核壳复合材料SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb、SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen,它们以SiO₂为核,以铽有机配合物为壳。铽离子与有机配体配位,在壳层形成铽有机配合物。双官能有机硅烷((HOOC)₂C₆H₂(CONH(CH₂)₃Si(OCH₂CH₃)₃)₂(简称为PMDA-Si)用作第一配体,邻菲罗啉用作第二配体。此外,还通过溶胶-凝胶化学路线合成了二氧化硅改性的SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb@SiO₂和SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen@SiO₂核壳壳复合材料。在SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb和SiO₂@PMDA-Si-Tb-phen核壳复合材料周围包覆了一层无定形二氧化硅壳。核壳和核壳壳复合材料在固态下均表现出优异的发光性能。核壳壳复合材料的发光强度比核壳复合材料更强。同时,在水溶液中发现核壳壳复合材料具有更好的发光稳定性。核壳壳复合材料具有明亮的发光、高稳定性、长寿命和良好的溶解性,在生物医学领域可能具有潜在应用。
