About this book

This book presents the main research advances in the field of photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials. The first chapter discusses the fundamental principles, ranging from rare earth, rare earth luminescence, luminescent rare earth compounds and photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials. The main body of the book consists of six chapters exploring different kinds of photofunctional hybrid materials, such as hybrids based on organically modified silica; organically modified mesoporous silica; functionalized microporous zeolite and metal-organic frameworks; polymer or polymer/silica composite; and multi-component assembly of hybrids. It also includes a chapter introducing the photofunctional application of these hybrid materials. It is a valuable resource for a wide readership in various fields of rare earth chemistry, chemical science and materials science.

Chapter 1. Rare Earth, Rare Earth Luminescence, Luminescent Rare Earth Compounds, and Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on the fundamental principles of rare earth luminescence, which are important for the investigation of the photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials. It introduces the rare earth elements and their physiochemical properties, the atomic spectral term and energy level transition of rare earth ions associated with their electronic configuration, and the luminescence and spectroscopy of rare earth ions, rare earth inorganic compounds for phosphors, rare earth coordination compounds for molecular luminescence, and photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials combining the characteristics of both phosphor and molecular luminescence. This chapter provides a basis to understand the contents of the subsequent chapters.

Chapter 2. Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials Based on Organically Modified Silica
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on organically modified silica, which are obtained through the special chemical linkage of organically modified silanes (ORMOSILs). The content mainly covers the hybrid materials based on aromatic carboxylic acid derivative-modified ORMOSILs, β-diketone and β-diketone analogue derivative-modified ORMOSILs, macrocyclic compound derivative-modified ORMOSILs, heterocyclic ligand derivative-modified ORMOSILs, and the hybrid materials with composite matrices through ORMOSILs. The emphasis is put on the recent research progress of our group.

Chapter 4. Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials Based on Functionalized Microporous Zeolites
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on functionalized microporous zeolites. It covers photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on zeolite X, zeolite A, and zeolite L, respectively. Among them the emphasis is put on the hybrid systems based on zeolite L because they are most intensively studied.

Chapter 5. Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials Based on Functionalized Metal–Organic Frameworks
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs), with an emphasis on rare earth ion-functionalized hybrid systems. It covers photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on functionalized MOFs through ion substitution, ionic exchange, coordinated postsynthetic modification, and composition of MOFs and other functional units, respectively. The single MOFs or PCPs including pure rare earth MOFs (or PCPs) are not covered here.

Chapter 6. Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials Based on Polymer and Polymer/Silica Composite
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on polymer and polymer/silica composite. The emphasis is put on the rare earth hybrids with polymer as the main building units. It covers photofunctional rare earth hybrid material based on organic polymers, mainly the rare earth complexes with polymers; photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on organically modified silica and organic polymers, with both of the two units behaving as ligands coordinated to rare earth ions and no direct interaction between them; and photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on organically modified silica covalently bonded organic polymers. Herein, it focuses on the work of our group in the recent years.

Chapter 7. Photofunctional Rare Earth Hybrid Materials Based on Multicomponent Assembly
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on multicomponent assembly. On the basis of the previous chapters on all kinds of typical rare earth hybrid materials, a lot of chemical modification paths are obtained. These paths can be further utilized to introduce other functional units including luminescent units such as another rare earth species or other photoactive species to assemble the multicomponent hybrid systems. This chapter covers photofunctional rare earth hybrid materials based on modified clay, ionic gel, inorganic nanocomposite, polyoxometalate, and multi-host assembly. Herein, it mainly focuses on the work of our group in recent years.

Chapter 8. Photophysical Applications of Photofunctional Rare-Earth Hybrid Materials
Abstract
This chapter mainly focuses on recent research progress in the photophysical applications of photofunctional rare-earth hybrid materials, which include the luminescent solar energy concentrators (or optical amplifiers), the luminescent devices or barcoding, and the luminescent sensors for cations, anions, molecules or species, and physical properties such as temperature or pH value. Since the research on the luminescent sensors is very active, the emphasis is put on this topic. As the hybrids based on rare-earth functionalized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have the characteristics of molecules, their application in the practical fields are most extensively studied and will be discussed in detail. Herein it mainly focuses on the work of our group in the recent years.
