摘要

In this paper, a new terbium complex/inorganic/polymeric molecular hybrid material was prepared and its optical properties were studied. At first, 4-nitrobenzoic acid was modified by (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane to form a precursor and coordinated with terbium ion. Then it was polymerized with inorganic host tetraethoxysilane or polymer host polyvinyl alcohol and formed hybrid material. H-1 NMR Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope and TGA were applied to characterize the structure of the precursor. UV-vis spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectra were applied to characterize the photophysical properties of the obtained hybrid material. The strong luminescence of Tb3+. substantiates optimum energy couple and effective intramolecular energy transfer between the triplet state energy of modified ligand bridge and emissive energy level of Tb3+.
