New Hybrid Materials Based on Nanostructured Aluminum Oxyhydroxide and Terbium(III) Bis(Tetra-15-Crown-5-Phthalocyaninate)

详细

A new method was developed for preparation of hybrid functional nanostructures through interaction between terbium complex with tetra-15-crown-5-phthalocyanine Tb[(15C₅)₄Pc]₂ and the surface of highly porous nanostructured aluminum oxyhydroxids (NAOs). It was shown that immobilization of phthalocyaninate on an NAO surface may be reversible upon a sorption from the solution in chloroform, and irreversable, when the adsorption occurred on the NAO surface that was chemically modified using methyltrimethoxysilane and annealed at the temperature ranging from 500 to 1100°С (NAOM). Nanostructure and chemical properties of the obtained hybrid nanomaterials were studied with the use of different methods: scanning electron microscopy, XRD, IR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The sensor properties of the obtained Tb[(15C₅)₄Pc]₂//NAO and Tb[(15C₅)₄Pc]₂//NAOM hybrid nanostructures were studied when they interacted with ammonia and iodine vapors. It was shown that the phthalocyaninate complex on the NAO surface was liable to reduction, while the phthalocyaninate complex on the modified NAOM surface was liable to oxidation.
