Abstract
- The luminescent performances of near-infrared (NIR) lanthanide (Ln) complexes were restricted greatly by vibration quenching of X-H (X = C, N, O) oscillators, which are usually contained in ligands and solvents. Encapsulating Ln <superscript>3+</superscript> into a cavity of coordination atoms is a feasible method of alleviating this quenching effect. In this work, a novel ytterbium complex [Yb(DPPDA) <subscript>2</subscript> ](DIPEA) coordinated with 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (DPPDA) was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis. Under the excitation of 335 nm light, [Yb(DPPDA) <subscript>2</subscript> ](DIPEA) showed two emission peaks at 975 and 1011 nm, respectively, which were assigned to the characteristic <superscript>2</superscript> F <subscript>5/2</subscript> → <superscript>2</superscript> F <subscript>7/2</subscript> transition of Yb <superscript>3+</superscript> . Meanwhile, this ytterbium complex exhibited a plausible absolute quantum yield of 0.46% and a luminescent lifetime of 105 μs in CD <subscript>3</subscript> OD solution. In particular, its intrinsic quantum yield was calculated to be 12.5%, and this considerably high value was attributed to the near-zero solvent molecules bound to Yb <superscript>3+</superscript> and the absence of X-H oscillators in the first coordination sphere. Based on experimental results, we further proposed that the sensitized luminescence of [Yb(DPPDA) <subscript>2</subscript> ](DIPEA) occurred via an internal redox mechanism instead of an energy transfer process.
