2-Thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) was grafted onto the coupling agent 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propyl-isocyanate to construct the precursor I (TTA–Si), and polymer precursors II (PVPD, PMAA and PVPDMAA) were synthesized through the addition polymerization reactions. Then precursors I and II have coordinated to the rare-earth ions with the carbonyl, carboxyl group or nitrogen atom, respectively, and after hydrolysis and copolycondensation sol–gel process, the three kinds of polymeric hybrids were obtained. FTIR, ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflection and fluorescence absorption spectra, electronic micrographs, room-temperature X-ray diffraction patterns and TG plots were characterized and the results reveal that the hybrid materials showed uniformity in the microstructure, efficient intramolecular energy transfer system and excellent characteristic emission of terbium ions under UV irradiation.
