Influence Of Hybridation With A Silicate Network On The Properties Of An Eu 3+ Complex Derived From Dipicolinic Acid
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
In this paper, the preparation, the characterization and the optical features of organicinorganic materials incorporating a trivalent europium organic chelate into a silicate network are described. The covalent grafting and the sol-gel process allow to obtain monophasic hybrid gels in which the structure and the activity of the organic molecules were retained. The Eu3+ coordination mode is not sensitive to the sol-gel processing conditions whereas the morphology of materials, their thermal resistance and their luminescence properties may be adjusted. Characteristics of hybrid compounds are compared to those of the corresponding organic species.
