Simultaneous Enhancement Of Near-Infrared Emission And Dye Photodegradation In A Racemic Aspartic Acid Compound Via Metal-Ion Modification, Frank R. Fronczek, Jian Xu Nov 2019

Simultaneous Enhancement Of Near-Infrared Emission And Dye Photodegradation In A Racemic Aspartic Acid Compound Via Metal-Ion Modification, Frank R. Fronczek, Jian Xu

Faculty Publications

Changing functionalities of materials using simple methods is an active area of research, as it is "green" and lowers the developing cost of new products for the enterprises. A new small molecule racemic N,N-dimethyl aspartic acid has been prepared. Its structure is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It is characterized by FTIR, XPS, 1 H NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Its near-infrared luminescence can be enhanced by the combination of metal ions, including Dy3+, Gd3+, Nd3+, Er3+, Sr3+, Y3+, Zn2+, Zr4+, Ho3+, Yb3+, La3+, Pr6+/Pr3+, and Sm3+ ions. An optical chemistry mechanism upon interaction between the sensitizer and activator is proposed. …
