Complementary experiments of X‐ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and time‐resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) using europium (Eu(III)) as an optical probe are used to analyse the hydration process of two cement systems in the absence and presence of different organic admixtures. We show that different analysed admixtures and the used sulphate carriers in each cement system have a significant influence on the hydration process, namely on the time‐dependence in the formation of different hydrate phases of cement. Moreover, the effect of a particular admixture is related to the type of sulphate carrier used. The quantitative information on the amounts of the crystalline cement paste components is accessible via XRD analysis. Distinctly different morphologies of ettringite and calcium−silicate−hydrates (C−S−H) determined by SEM allow visual conclusions about formation of these phases at particular ageing times. The TRLFS data provides information about the admixture influence on the course of the silicate reaction. The dip in the dependence of the luminescence decay times on the hydration time indicates the change in the structure of C−S−H in the early hydration period. Complementary information from XRD, SEM and TRLFS provides detailed information on distinct periods of the cement hydration process.

Upon annealing at different temperatures up to Tan = 700 °C phase transitions to the hexagonal phase and back to the cubic phase were induced. The UCNP materials obtained for different Tan were characterized with respect to the lattice phase using standard XRD and Raman spectroscopy as well as steady state and time resolved upconversion luminescence. The standard techniques showed that for the annealing temperature range 300 °C < Tan < 600 °C the hexagonal lattice phase was dominant. For Tan < 300 °C hardly any change in the lattice phase could be deduced, whereas for Tan > 600 °C a back transfer to the α-phase was observed. Complementarily, the luminescence upconversion properties of the annealed UCNP materials were characterized in steady state and time resolved luminescence measurements. Distinct differences in the upconversion luminescence intensity, the spectral intensity distribution and the luminescence decay kinetics were found for the cubic and hexagonal lattice phases, respectively, corroborating the results of the standard analytical techniques used. In laser power dependent measurements of the upconversion luminescence intensity it was found that the green (G1, G2) and red (R) emission of Er3+ showed different effects of Tan on the number of required photons reflecting the differences in the population routes of different energy levels involved. Furthermore, the intensity ratio of Gfull/R is highly effected by the laser power only when the β-phase is present, whereas the G1/G2 intensity ratio is only slightly effected regardless of the crystal phase. Moreover, based on different upconversion luminescence kinetics characteristics of the cubic and hexagonal phase time-resolved area normalized emission spectra (TRANES) proved to be a very sensitive tool to monitor the phase transition between cubic and hexagonal phases. Based on the TRANES analysis it was possible to resolve the lattice phase transition in more detail for 200 °C < Tan < 300 °C, which was not possible with the standard techniques.

This complex is a precursor for the formation of a solid Eu(III) borate species. The formation of this solid in solution was investigated by TRLFS as a function of the total boron concentration: the lower the total boron concentration, the slower is the solid formation. The solid Eu(III) borate was characterized by IR spectroscopy, powder XRD and solid-state TRLFS. The determination of the europium to boron ratio portends the existence of pentaborate units in the amorphous solid.

Organic based fluorescence processes of the MOF backbone as well as metal based luminescence of the dopants are combined to one homogenous single source emitter while retaining the MOF's porosity. The lanthanide ions Eu3+ and Tb3+ were doped in situ into IFP-1 upon formation of the MOF by intercalation into the micropores of the growing framework without a structure directing effect. Furthermore, the color point is temperature sensitive, so that a cold white light with a higher blue content is observed at 77 K and a warmer white light at room temperature (RT) due to the reduction of the organic emission at higher temperatures. The study further illustrates the dependence of the amount of luminescent ions on porosity and sorption properties of the MOF and proves the intercalation of luminescence centers into the pore system by low-temperature site selective photoluminescence spectroscopy, SEM and EDX. It also covers an investigation of the border of homogenous uptake within the MOF pores and the formation of secondary phases of lanthanide formates on the surface of the MOF. Crossing the border from a homogenous co-doping to a two-phase composite system can be beneficially used to adjust the character and warmth of the white light. This study also describes two-color emitters of the formula Ln@IFP-1a–d (Ln: Eu, Tb) by doping with just one lanthanide Eu3+ or Tb3+.

Four examples of optical process and quality sensing (OPQS) are presented, which are based on three important experimental techniques: near-infrared absorption, luminescence quenching, and a novel method, photon density wave (PDW) spectroscopy. These are used to evaluate four process and quality parameters related to beer brewing and polyurethane (PU) foaming processes: the ethanol content and the oxygen (O2) content in beer, the biomass in a bioreactor, and the cellular structures of PU foam produced in a pilot production plant.

Mobilisierung und Transport von Schadstoffen in der Umwelt, besonders in den Kompartimenten Boden und Wasser, sind von fundamentaler Bedeutung für unser (Über)Leben auf der Erde. Einer der Hauptreaktionspartner für organische und anorganische Schadstoffe (Xenobiotika) in der Umwelt sind Huminstoffe (HS). HS sind Abbauprodukte pflanzlichen und tierischen Gewebes, die durch eine Kombination von chemischen und biologischen Ab- und Umbauprozessen entstehen. Bedingt durch ihre Genese stellen HS außerordentlich heterogene Stoffsysteme dar, die eine Palette von verschiedenartigen Wechselwirkungen mit Schadstoffen zeigen. Die Untersuchung der fundamentalen Wechselwirkungsmechanismen stellt ebenso wie deren quantitative Beschreibung höchste Anforderungen an die Untersuchungsmethoden. Zur qualitativen und quantitativen Charakterisierung der Wechselwirkungen zwischen HS und Xenobiotika werden demnach analytische Methoden benötigt, die bei der Untersuchung von extrem heterogenen Systemen aussagekräftige Daten zu liefern vermögen. Besonders spektroskopische Verfahren, wie z.B. lumineszenz-basierte Verfahren, besitzen neben der hervorragenden Selektivität und Sensitivität, auch eine Multidimensionalität (bei der Lumineszenz sind es die Beobachtungsgrößen Intensität IF, Anregungswellenlänge lex, Emissionswellenlänge lem und Fluoreszenzabklingzeit tF), die es gestattet, auch heterogene Systeme wie HS direkt zu untersuchen. Zur Charakterisierung können sowohl die intrinsischen Fluoreszenzeigenschaften der HS als auch die von speziell eingeführten Lumineszenzsonden verwendet werden. In beiden Fällen werden die zu Grunde liegenden fundamentalen Konzepte der Wechselwirkungen von HS mit Xenobiotika untersucht und charakterisiert. Für die intrinsische Fluoreszenz der HS konnte gezeigt werden, dass neben molekularen Strukturen besonders die Verknüpfung der Fluorophore im Gesamt-HS-Molekül von Bedeutung ist. Konformative Freiheit und die Nachbarschaft zu als Energieakzeptor fungierenden HS-eigenen Gruppen sind wichtige Komponenten für die Charakteristik der HS-Fluoreszenz. Die Löschung der intrinsischen Fluoreszenz durch Metallkomplexierung ist demnach auch das Resultat der veränderten konformativen Freiheit der HS durch die gebundenen Metallionen. Es zeigte sich, dass abhängig vom Metallion sowohl Löschung als auch Verstärkung der intrinsischen HS-Fluoreszenz beobachtet werden kann. Als extrinsische Lumineszenzsonden mit wohl-charakterisierten photophysikalischen Eigenschaften wurden polyzyklische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe und Lanthanoid-Ionen eingesetzt. Durch Untersuchungen bei sehr niedrigen Temperaturen (10 K) konnte erstmals die Mikroumgebung von an HS gebundenen hydrophoben Xenobiotika untersucht werden. Im Vergleich mit Raumtemperaturexperimenten konnte gezeigt werden, dass hydrophobe Xenobiotika an HS-gebunden in einer Mikroumgebung, die in ihrer Polarität analog zu kurzkettigen Alkoholen ist, vorliegen. Für den Fall der Metallkomplexierung wurden Energietransferprozesse zwischen HS und Lanthanoidionen bzw. zwischen verschiedenen, gebundenen Lanthanoidionen untersucht. Basierend auf diesen Messungen können Aussagen über die beteiligten elektronischen Zustände der HS einerseits und Entfernungen von Metallbindungsstellen in HS selbst angeben werden. Es ist dabei zu beachten, dass die Experimente in Lösung bei realen Konzentrationen durchgeführt wurden. Aus Messung der Energietransferraten können direkte Aussagen über Konformationsänderungen bzw. Aggregationsprozesse von HS abgeleitet werden. N2 - Transport and fate of xenobiotics in the environment, especially in water and soil, are of utmost importance for life on earth. A major reaction partner for xenobiotics in the environment are humic substances (HS). HS are degradation products of plant and animal tissue, which are formed in a combination of subsequent chemical and/or biochemical processes. Because of the complex history of their origin HS are extremely heterogeneous mixtures of different compounds. Consequently, they posses a great variety of interaction capabilities with various xenobiotics. The investigations of the fundamental interaction mechanisms between HS and xenobiotics make high demands on the analytical techniques used. Especially spectroscopic techniques are promising for the investigation of interaction mechanisms in complex systems. Luminescence spectroscopy has the great advantage of outstanding sensitivity and of multidimensionality, which in principle allows the investigation of HS under environmental relevant conditions. For the characterisation of interaction processes of HS with xenobiotics the intrinsic fluorescence of HS as well as the luminescence of extrinsic probes can be used. The intrinsic HS fluorescence is determined by the molecular structure as well as the connection of the basic fluorophores. Conformational freedom as well as the presence of energy accepting groups in the neighbourhood of the fluorophores are highly important for the overall intrinsic HS fluorescence. The presence of metal ions can either quench or enhance the intrinsic HS fluorescence, which depends on the metal ion as well as on the origin of the HS investigated. While in most cases Al3+ ions enhance the intrinsic HS fluorescence, Ln3+ ions induce a fluorescence quenching. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were used as extrinsic fluorescence probes in order to characterize the interaction of HS and hydrophobic organic xenobiotics. In investigations at ultra-low temperatures (10 K) it could be shown that pyrene is bound in a HS microenvironment with an polarity which resembles that of small alcohols (e.g., butanol). In case of metal complexation, the lanthanide ions Eu3+ and Tb3+ were used as luminescence probes. Due to the outstanding luminescence properties of those ions, information about metal binding sites in HS were obtained. Based on the measurements of intramolecular and intermolecular energy transfer processes average distances of metal binding sites were deduced.
