| Abstract | |
In recent years, there has been considerable research on the study of energy transfer process by active optically ions due to their great importance in solid state devices, e.g., lasers and optic-electronic materials. These luminescent materials (phosphors) in aqueous solution can also be very useful as sensors or probe in biomaterials analysis. In this context, the interest on rare earth ion (RE), as well as cyclodextrin (CD) in such systems are increasing due to their compatibility wish solid state and aqueous media. Some RE, like europium and terbium, present luminescent properties, while the CDs have an apolar/hydrophobic cavity that can incorporate molecules, protecting them from solvent entities and resulting na a rigid hydrophobic matrix in solution. In the present work was performed the study of RE complexes incorporate into α-CD hydrophobic cavity, and then, the investigation on RE/α-CD compounds incorporated in inorganic matrices through the sol-gel method. First, RE complexes with β-diketones were synthesized and characterized. The solubilization of these complexes in aqueous solution was achieved by their incorporation into α-CD hydrophobic cavity. Excitation and emission spectra as well as lifetime measurements were performed for RE ions in aqueous media. It was observed that the RE ions present their characteristic transitions in the new environment. Therefore, RE/α-CD compounds in inorganic matrices obtained by sol-gel method were also studied. After doping, the thermal stability of these compounds increase and the detected RE ions emission lines presented a better definition than the ones in the α-CD incorporate RE/β-diketones in aqueous medium.
