Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are advanced structured coordination polymers that contain metals and organic linkers and feature interesting optical properties. Particularly, MOFs with linkers of complex structure, which absorb and emit light in the optical range, are promising for opto-electronics, chemo-sensing toxic vapors and liquids, sorption-based removal of hazardous compounds, and beyond. Here, we report studies of optical properties of two porphyrin MOFs using “conventional” excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectra, from the near-UV through visible and into the near-infrared (NIR) range. Namely, the porphyrin aluminum MOF without metal in the porphyrin ring, compound 2 actAl-MOF-TCPPH2 absorbs light in the near-UV range due to the Soret band and, additionally, throughout the visible range. Its photoluminescence (PL) occurs in the NIR range via the purely electronic Q(0-0) and the first vibronic Q(0–1) bands. Further, the related compound 4 actAl-MOF-TCPPCu with Cu2+ cation in the porphyrin ring exhibits a strong, a factor 50 quenching of the PL signal, due to the paramagnetic copper cation. Nevertheless, it shows the characteristic emission via both the Q(0-0) and Q(0–1) bands. Further, compound 4 adsorbs vapor of volatile organic sulfur compound diethyl sulfide (DES), forming the stoichiometric absorption complex. Binding DES to the metalloporphyrin ring in this complex is detected based on the EEM spectra. Next, the common drawbacks of the EEM spectra, e.g. wide and overlapping emission bands and peaks due to diffraction grating artifact, have been overcome by the advanced method. Namely, the solid-state synchronous luminescence spectroscopy (SS-SLS) allows to successfully resolve both Q-bands in these MOFs and remove spectral artifacts. Additionally, the SS-SLS allows to get insight into the origin of an additional NIR emission band due to the interaction of each compound with molecular oxygen. For both porphyrin MOFs, the comprehensive scheme of optical (absorption and emission) transitions was obtained which includes the Soret band, two Q-bands, and the emission band involving oxygen.
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.
