Abstract

The sensitised luminescence from stable lanthanide complexes (1 and 2) bearing a phenanthridine antenna has been used to generate time-resolved images of silica particles. The millisecond order luminescent lifetime of these complexes is utilised to demonstrate time-gated imaging of the sample from a fluorescent background and to facilitate lifetime mapping over the area of the sample.

The co-luminescence effect of Eu-Gd-ofloxacin-SDBS system and its analytical application.

A fluorescence enhancement phenomenon in the europium (Eu)-Ofloxacin (OF)-Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate (SDBS) fluorescence system was observed when Gd(3+) was added. The fluorescence intensity of the systems was measured (lambda (ex)/lambda (em) = 280/612 nm) at pH 7.8. Under optimum conditions, a linear relationship between the enhanced fluorescence intensity and the Eu(3+) concentration in the range of 5.0 x 10(-10) approximately 2.0 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1) was observed. The detection limit of Eu(3+) was 1.46 x 10(-10) mol x L(-1) (S/N = 3). This method was used for the determination of trace amounts of europium in synthetic rare earth samples with satisfactory results. In addition, the interaction mechanism is also studied.

Luminescent logic function of a surfactant-encapsulated polyoxometalate complex.

We have fabricated a novel organic/inorganic hybrid material consisting of multifunctional surfactant-encapsulated polyoxometalloeuropate which functions as a luminescent logic gate with dual output operated by light and metal ion as inputs.

Temperature-sensitive europium(III) probes and their use for simultaneous luminescent sensing of temperature and oxygen.

Highly photostable and strongly luminescent europium(III) beta-diketonate complexes are presented that can act as new probes for optical sensing of temperature. They can be excited with the light of a 405-nm LED and possess strong brightnesses. The decay times of the probes contained in a poly(vinyl methyl ketone) film and in poly(tert-butyl styrene) microparticles are highly temperature-dependent between 0 and 70 degrees C. The temperature-sensitive microparticles were dispersed, along with oxygen-sensitive microbeads consisting of a palladium porphyrin oxygen indicator in poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile), in a thin layer of a hydrogel to give a dually sensing material which is excitable by a single light source. The two emissions can be separated by appropriate optical filters. The response to oxygen and temperature is described by 3D plots, and unbiased values can be obtained for temperature and oxygen, respectively, from the two luminescence signals if refined in an iteration step. The sensing scheme is intended for use in temperature-compensated sensing of oxygen, in contactless sensing of oxygen and temperature in (micro)biological and medical applications, in high-resolution oxygen profiling, and for simultaneous imaging of air pressure and temperature in wind tunnels.
