Abstract

We have reported the synthesis of three chemical bonded hybrid materials based on silica matrices composed of terbium ions and aromatic acid derivatives. Of significant importance, ligand 1 was grafted with three long alkyl chains and the as-derived hybrid 1 exhibited attracting green luminescence in solid matrices which is much stronger than ligand 2 which does not bear aliphatic chains. All the fluorescence spectra, quantum yields, and time-resolved spectra proved that the side chains influence for the effective sensitization of terbium ions.
