Abstract

A luminescent green anionic dye, 8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid trisodium, has been intercalated between the layers of the zinc hydroxide-layered (here named as ZHL-layered-NO3) using an anion exchange technique to produce new luminescent organic-inorganic hybrid materials with interesting photoemission properties. X-ray diffraction, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopic and scanning electron microscopic studies have shown the incorporation of the luminescent anionic dye between the layers of the inorganic host. X-ray diffraction studies revealed increases in the basal spacing of ZHL-layered hybrid after the intercalation of the green dye using different time intercalation. The interlayer spacing increased from 0.98 nm in the pristine ZHL-layered NO3 to 3.54, 3.18 and 3.62 nm in the ZHL-layered/Py-SO3-3 composites at 12, 24 and 48 h of time intercalation, respectively. Photophysical properties of these new luminescent hybrids (ZHL-layered/Py-SO3-3) were also investigated using the UV-vis absorption, steady-state and dynamic fluorescence spectroscopies. All hybrid materials presented UV-vis absorption bands and photoemission at green region due to the presence of the anionic dye in the galleries of the inorganic layered. For the material produced at 12 h of time intercalation, a higher quantum yield photoluminescence (phi(PL) = 13.0%) was observed compared to the pure dye solid (phi(PL) = 1.0%). This result was attributed to the confinement of the anionic species in the host two-dimensional gallery. These observations open new opportunities for the use of this organic dye immobilized in alternative layered compound for electronic devices or for sensors. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
