Abstract
Despite the appreciable high color-purity green-light of chiral Tb3+-complexes, it remains a great challenge to enable their both high quantum efficiency and large circularly polarized light (CPL) activity. Herein, through the self-assemble of the chiral Salen-type bis-Schiff-base ligand (S,S)-H2L or (R,R)-H2L with Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and Ln (NO3)3·6H2O (Ln = La, Tb, Gd), two series of chiral Zn(II)-Ln (III)-heterobinuclear enantiomers [Zn ((S,S)-L)Ln (μ1-OAc)(μ2-NO3)2] (Ln = La, 1; Tb, 2; Gd, 3) or [Zn ((R,R)-L)Ln (μ1-OAc)(μ2-NO3)2] (Ln = La, 4; Tb, 5; Gd, 6) were afforded, respectively. Photophysical study shows that the destabilized 3π-π* energy level upon Zn2+ coordination, is confirmed to effectively sensitize of the Tb3+-centered green-light for the two chiral complexes [Zn ((S,S)-L)Tb (μ1-OAc)(μ2-NO3)2] (2) and [Zn ((R,R)-L)Tb (μ1-OAc)(μ2-NO3)2] (5). The merits of efficient ( = 5.6–6.2 %) Tb3+-centered green-light and strong CPL activity (|gPL| = 0.03, 5D4→7F3 transition), engender chiral Zn(II)-Tb(III)-Salen complexes like 2 and 5 a new platform to ideal chiral organo-Tb3+ candidates.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
