Aggregation induced emission enhancement from Bathophenanthroline microstructures and its potential use as sensor of mercury ions in water

Abstract: Bathophenanthroline (BA) microstructures of various morphologies have been synthesized using a reprecipitation method. The morphologies of the particles are characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. An aqueous dispersion of BA microstructures shows aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) compared to BA in a good solvent, THF. This luminescent property of aggregated BA hydrosol is used for the selective detection of trace amounts of mercury ion (Hg(2+)) in water. It is … Show more

“…At these higher angles, the out-of-plane layer spacing (derived from the [001] peak position) diverges into two separate peaks. The larger dimension corresponds to a lattice spacing of 10.39 Å, very close to the 10.40 Å value found by Mazumdar et al, 34 but smaller than 10.81 Å identified by Ceolin et al 33 The smaller of the two lattice constants is 9.97 Å, considerably smaller than previously reported values. Given that this large difference in q close to the specular beam arises when we reach the critical angle of the substrate, one possibility is that this distortion is due to refraction at the vacuum/film interface.…”

“…These features correspond to spacings of 10.13-10.30 Å, which are relatively close to the previously reported values for the [010] spacing of 10.4 Åin solution-growth BPhen crystals. 34 Notably, both these peaks shift to slightly higher q values with increasing thickness, suggesting that BPhen may exhibit closer in-plane packing when grown on itself as compared to on bare glass. As the film grows to nearly 40 nm thickness, new scattering features are observed at q xy = 1.11 Å 1 and 1.19 Å 1 , respectively, indicating the concomitant development of in-plane scattering features.…”

“…Their chemical and photo physical stability is better than that of the isolated molecules and they display their characteristic optical and optoelectronic properties. Therefore, they are of considerable interest for various potential applications in the field of photo switches [1], OLEDs [2,3], sensor [4][5][6][7], photo catalyst [8], phototransistors [9,10], memory devices [11], etc. Most of the organic chromospheres which are highly fluorescent in solution at low concentration show a drastic decrease of their emission efficiency in the solid state.…”

“…In this context, the development of organic nano/micro particles appears to be quite attractive as they offer much more variability and flexibility in material design and synthesis compared to inorganic ones. Nevertheless, organic nano/micro particles are promising molecular materials for optoelectronic devices [8], organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) [9], memory devices [10], phototransistors [11], solar cells [12], sensor applications [13][14][15][16] etc. The controlling of size, shape and hence the properties of organic nano/micro particles is still a challenge and an important aspect in the development of materials science.…”
