Synthesis of 1,3-diketo derivatives of calix[4]arene with nonyl substituents at the lower rim as novel efficient sensibilizers of Tb3+ luminescence

Аннотация

Novel bis- and tetra-1,3-diketo derivatives of calix[4]arene with nonyl substituents at the lower rim have been synthesized. Their conformational and tautomeric composition have been determined; spectral parameters and complex formation properties with Tb³⁺ have been studied. Substitution of two 1,3-diketo groups with bromine under going from tetra- to bis 1,3-diketone derivatives was resulted in twofold increase luminescence intensity in their terbium complexes. Lifetime of the excited state of the terbium luminescence of the corresponding complexes as well as lifetime of excited triplet level of the 1,3-diketonate ligands have been determined.
