Influence of complexing ion on the fluorescence sensitization efficiency for oxazine dyes in nanoparticles of Sc, Eu, Sm, and Lu diketonates

Abstract

The fluorescence sensitization regularities have been investigated for oxazine dyes (Nile blue, cresyl violet (oxazine-9), and oxazine-170) in nanoparticles of complexes of 2-naphthoyltrifluoroacetone with trivalent ions of rare-earth metals. The fluorescence sensitization efficiencies of dyes in nanoparticles from the Sc(III), Eu(III), Sm(III), and Lu(III) complexes are compared. It is shown that the fluorescence sensitization efficiencies of dyes in nanoparticles from the Sc(III), Eu(III), and Sm(III) complexes has similar values and greatly exceed that for nanoparticles from the Lu(III) complexes. The quantum yields of sensitized fluorescence are determined for dyes in nanoparticles from the Sc(III), Eu(III), and Sm(III) complexes. The nanoparticles doped with oxazine-170 from Eu(III) complexes are found to have the strongest fluorescence.
