“…The following examples are far from a complete list of possible chemical modifications of nanopores which influence the optical properties of AAO membranes, e.g., Cr 3+ ions [84], Eu 3+ ions [312], Tb 3+ ions [312,313], CdS [314], Ru(II)(4,4′-dicarboxyl-2,2′bipyridyl) 2 (SCN) 2 ) dye [315], [Ru(dpp) 3 ] 2+ (dpp = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) [316], siloxane with repeating Si 3 OSiH and Si 3 SiH moieties [266], Alizacin red S [317], 8-anilino-1-naphtalene-sulfonic acid [318], 7-diethyl amino-4methylcumarin [318], diiodofluorescein [317], tetraiodofluorescein [317], 8-hydroxyquinoline [319,320], Rhodamine B [321], Rhodamine 6G [87,318,322], Rhodamine110 (Rh110) [323], paraterphenyl and perylene [324], N,N′-diphenyl-N, N′-bis(3-methylpheny-l,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine) (TPD) + 5 % rubrene (5,6,11, Colors of AAO films with sputtering Ag and Cr layers. It is a direct result of interaction of the guest with the exposed aluminum atoms in the pores of the AAO films.…”
