All samples were investigated by means of PXRD, FT-IR, TGA, physical adsorption, DR-UV-Vis and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. From the comparison of the photoluminescence decays of terbium-exchanged in parent (non-silylated) and silylated zeolites, it resulted that the silylation efficiency of the various alkoxysilanes is determined by the type of zeolite and follows the sequences: phenyl > vinyl > hexadecyl > parent for ZSM-5, hexadecyl a parts per thousand phenyl a parts per thousand vinyl > parent for MOR and hexadecyl > phenyl a parts per thousand vinyl > a parts per thousand parent for BEA zeolites, respectively.}, language = {en} } @article{TiseanuParvulescuKumkeetal.2009, author = {Tiseanu, Carmen and P{\^a}rvulescu, Victor I. and Kumke, Michael Uwe and Dobroiu, Svako and Geßner, Andr{\´e} and Simon, Simion}, title = {Effects of support and ligand on the photoluminescence properties of siliceous grafted europium complexes}, issn = {1932-7447}, doi = {10.1021/Jp808411e}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Europium ions were introduced in SiO2 and MCM-41 via two different pathways: (1) grafting the europium complexes with two alkoxide structures, 3-(2-imidazolin-1-yl)-propyl-triethoxysilane (IPTES) and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), and (2) functionalization of the SiO2 support with silicon 4- carboxylbutyltriethoxide followed by subsequent addition of the europium ions. The new materials were characterized using nitrogen adsorption isotherms at -196 degrees C, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, NMR, DR-UV-vis, steady-state emission and excitation, and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Spectral changes found in the time-resolved photoluminscence spectra strongly point to the distribution of europium ions on a range of environments in both SiO2 and MCM-41 supports. The average europium photoluminescence lifetimes decrease within the order: Eu3+-IPTES/SiO2 (550 mu s) > Eu3+-APTMS/SiO2 (425 mu s) > Eu3+-APTMS/MCM-41 (370 mu s) > Eu3+-IPTES/MCM-41 (320 mu s) > Eu3+-CABES/SiO2 (240 mu s). The photoluminescence quantum efficiency has the largest value, of 22\%, for Eu3+-IPTES/SiO2, while the most reduced value, of 9\%, was measured for Eu3+-CABES/SiO2.}, language = {en} }
