Abstract

We have presented a simple method for situ fabrication of photoluminescent lanthanide metallogels. A series of lanthanide metallogels could be rapidly formed through mixing the aqueous solution of Tb³⁺ or Eu³⁺ and organic solution of synthesized aromatic carboxylic ligands (DCn, n = 14, 16,18) at room temperature. The gelation tests revealed that the ligand with longer alkyl chain (DC18) showed stronger gelling abilities, indicating that the structure of non-coordinated groups in ligand molecules could affect self-assembly processes and, hence, the microstructures and properties of lanthanide metallogels. FT-IR measurements demonstrated that the driving force of formation of the metallogels was the coordination interaction between DCn and Tb³⁺ or Eu³⁺. XRD analysis revealed that DC14 metallogels took a mixture of hexagonal and tetragonal packing modes. All obtained metallogels have shown typical luminescent emissions of the lanthanide complex. In particular, DC18/Tb(NO₃)₃ metallogel in DMF/H₂O (v:v = 1:1) has shown excellent self-supporting, self-healing, film-forming, and rheological properties.
