POSS-based luminescent hybrid material for enhanced photo-emitting properties
In this present work, we have developed a novel POSS type monomer ligand "2,6-pyridinediamine-bis-(propanylheptaisobutyl POSS)" (PDC-POSS) and utilized in the preparation of potential luminescent hybrid complex Eu-PDC-POSS with an inner transition metal ion Eu3+. The solubility and photo-emitting properties of new Eu-PDC-POSS hybrid material were studied. The precursor PDC-POSS was synthesized by treating (3-aminopropyl)heptaisobutyl POSS with PDC (2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid chloride), and then coordinated with Eu3+ using europium nitrate to afford Eu-PDC-POSS hybrid material. The europium-doped hybrid material was characterized using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy along with energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The photo emitting properties were studied using a fluorescence spectrophotometer in which, the results showed enhancement in red emission peak at 618 nm for Eu-PDC-POSS, when compared to that of a known solgel-based material Eu-PDC-solgel.
