Substrate-induced luminescence response of terbium-containing polymeric vesicles doped with the tetra- and bis-1,3-diketone derivatives of calix[4]arenes bearing nonyl substituents at the lower rims

Аннотация

Polymeric aggregates (~100 nm) based on polydiacetylenic acid doped with the luminescent Tb^III complexes with the tetra- and bis-1,3-diketonate derivatives of calix[4]arenes with nonyl substituents at the lower rims are considered as potential nanosensors. The obtained colloidally stable mixed aggregates can generate a substrate-induced luminescent response in aqueous solutions of 2,2´,6´,2´´-terpyridine in the micromolar concentration range due to the coordination of the latter by Tb^III ions on the aggregate surface.
