The development of novel rare earth fluorescent materials and the exploration of their applications have consistently been focal points of research in the fields of materials science and chemistry. In this work, a novel rare earth composite material with good photo-fluorescence properties and self-supporting has been prepared via a simple ultrasonic solvent reaction method. Initially, the Phen moieties is immobilized onto the surface of a self-supporting fiberglass paper using ICPTES, followed by the coordination of Eu(TTA)3 moieties with Phen moieties through a convenient ultrasonic solvent reaction. The resulting GF–Phen–Eu(TTA)3 has been characterized using FTIR, UV-Vis DRS, fluorescence measurements, and so on. The results indicate that the composite material exhibits strong fluorescent emission and presents a vivid red color under ultraviolet light. Further research has shown that the fluorescence of GF–Phen–Eu(TTA)3 strips demonstrated a pronounced quenching effect in response to some transition metal ions (1 mM). Hence, the rare earth composite materials presented here can be utilized not only for the production of optical materials, but also for the development of fluorescence sensing strips.
Fluorescence is one of two kinds of photoluminescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation
Fluorescence is one of two kinds of photoluminescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. When exposed to ultraviolet radiation, many substances will glow (fluoresce) with colored visible light. The color of the light emitted depends on the chemical composition of the substance. Fluorescent materials generally cease to glow nearly immed
Fluorescence was observed long before it was named and understood.
An early observation of fluorescence was known to the Aztecs and described in 1560 by Bernardino de Sahagún and in 1565 by Nicolás Monardes in the infusion known as lignum nephriticum (Latin for "kidney wood"). It was derived from the wood of two tree species, Pterocarpus indicus and Eysenhardtia polystachya.
The chemical compound responsible for this fluorescence is matlaline, which is the oxidation product of one of the flavonoids found in this wood.
In 1819, E.D. Clarke
and in 1822 René Just Haüy
described some varieties of fluorites that had a different color depending on whether the light was reflected or (apparently) transmitted. Haüy incorrectly viewed the effect as light scattering similar to opalescence. In 1833 Sir David Brewster described a similar effect in chlorophyll which he also…
Formaldehyde (FA) is a common pollutant found indoors and outdoors, posing a significant threat to human health. Therefore, developing sensitive and efficient detection methods for FA is essential for environmental monitoring and protecting public health. Herein, we report a naphthalimide-conjugated water-soluble polymeric fluorescent probe for the detection of FA in both aqueous and vapor phases using fluorimetric methods. The aromatic amines present in the side chain of the polymer react with FA, forming a Schiff base (imine bond). This imine formation inhibits the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process within the polymer, leading to a ‘turn-on’ fluorescence under 365 nm UV light. The probe is capable of selectively sensing FA with a detection limit as low as 1.36 nM in aqueous medium. The formation of imine is confirmed for the model reaction between 6-(4-aminophenyl)-2-(4-((4-vinylbenzyl)oxy)phenyl)-1 h-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2 h)-dione and FA by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) titration methods. The mechanism behind ‘turn-on’ FA sensing is investigated using density functional theory (DFT) analysis. Additionally, the study demonstrates a facile approach for covalently attaching the polymer on the surface of a filter paper surface via ultraviolet (UV) light-induced cross-linking. Such polymer attached paper exhibits FA vapor sensing through changes in fluorescence intensity.
