摘要:
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials that include metal ions linked together into periodic structures via organic ligands. MOFs that contain lanthanide ions are a new class of visible and near-IR luminescent materials, suitable for a broad range of applications. For example, the MOF framework afforded by 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-phenylene)di-2,1-ethenediyl]bis-carboxylate is associated with unusually long luminescence lifetimes. Thus, a complex of this ligand with a lanthanide provides a sharp emission profile, coupled with a comparatively long signal lifetime, for an unusually high luminescence. More generally, lanthanide-MOF systems exhibit several advantages that are ideal for barcoded materials, due to the photophysical attributes of lanthanide cations and the well-defined organization of the MOF structure.

A method of detecting an analyte in an environment, includes immobilizing at least one photoactive composition on nanostructures, the photoactive composition exhibiting emission that is sensitive to the analyte; applying electromagnetic radiation to the immobilized photoactive moiety for a period of time; measuring at least one response; and using the measured response to determine the presence the analyte in the environment. The nanostructures can, for example, include carbon nanostructures. In a number of embodiments, the analyte is oxygen.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a new composition of luminescent matter in which lanthanide cations are incorporated into semiconductor nanocrystals, and methods for making this new composition of matter. The semiconductor nanocrystal structure serves as an antenna for allowing the excited electronic states of the semiconductor nanocrystals to sensitize lanthanide cation emission. In comparison to organic antenna types, semiconductor nanocrystals are able to protect lanthanide cations from quenching solvent molecules without supplying high energy vibrations, thereby resisting non-radiative deactivation of the lanthanide cation excited states. Semiconductor nanocrystals have several advantages as species that absorb and emit photons, namely, broad absorbance bands with high epsilon values and emission wavelengths that can be easily tuned through their size, which is controlled through synthesis conditions. Lanthanide cations also have several advantages—sharp emission bands and long luminescence lifetimes.
