Terbium Complexes

Five kinds of terbium complexes have been synthesized respectively with benzoic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bipyridine as ligands. The core-shell Ag@SiO2nanocomposites was prepared. The result of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the diameter of the nanosilver is about 50 nm and the thickness of the silica shell is 10, 25 and 80 nm. Combine the nanoparticles composite with terbium complexes, we explore the changes of excitation wavelength and emission intensity. The results show that: by loading the terbium complexes above the different size of nanoparticles, the excitation wavelengths of complexes do not shift, and the emission intensity of the complexes are enhanced in the presence of Ag@SiO2nanoparticles because of metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF), but at only a limited shell thickness particle region.

Shell Particles

Silica-coating of AgI nanoparticles with a Stöber method was carried out to find out reaction conditions for control of the shell thickness. The AgI nanoparticles were prepared from AgClO4 and KI with the use of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) as a silane coupling agent and dimethylamine (DMA) catalyst for alkoxide hydrolysis. The silica-coating was performed at 4.5×10-6-4.5×10-5 M MPS, 11-20 M water, 0.002-0.1 M DMA and 0.005-0.04 M tetraethylorthosilicate at AgI concentrations of 0.1-1 mM. Consequently, AgI-silica core-shell particles could be prepared with the use of 4.5×10-5 M MPS, 20 M water, 0.01 M DMA and 1 mM AgI. Silica shell thickness could be varied from 15 to 28 nm with an increase in the TEOS concentration from 0.005 to 0.04 M.
