The electronic spectroscopy technique is used to study the properties of solutions of double decker diphthalocyanine complexes of lanthanides LnPc 2 (Ln = Ho, Er, Yb, Lu) in chloroform, dimethyl formamide, water-micellar systems, solutions of proteins, and polymers, as well as on the surface of silica nanoparticles. In all the studied systems, a correlation is established between the positions of maxima of absorption bands of LnPc 2 and the ionic radius of the complexing metal. Redox processes determined by the nature of the solubilizer are detected in supramolecular associates of LnPc 2 with macrocompounds and nano particles. Finally, prototypes of sensor systems are suggested for determination of albumin and silica nano particles in solutions. Films of polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyvinyl alcohol containing LuPc 2 and YbPc 2 are obtained, for which sensor response to albumin and nanosilica is also established. On the whole, the results show good prospects for development of sensor devices based on the studied systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
