Abstract

Abstract : Room-temperature phosphorescence of a Pt-porphyrin derivative was enhanced in quantum yield and lifetime by fixing it on the surface of nanometer-scale pores of porous glass. Abstract : The room-temperature phosphorescence chromophore, Pt(ii ) coproporphyrin I (PtCP), was fixed on the surface of a 3D-network of nanoscale pores of porous glass through ion-exchange reaction. The absorption and phosphorescence spectra indicated that PtCP can be loaded while maintaining monomeric dispersion at concentrations well beyond solubility limits of PtCP in solution. The phosphorescence quantum yield of PtCP fixed on the surface was also found to have double the enhancement of solution. The extended lifetime of phosphorescence of PtCP bonded on the surface compared to that in solution clearly indicated that suppression of nonradiative deactivation plays a key role in high quantum yield and long triplet lifetime. This hybridization with nano-porous glass provides opportunities for various potential applications.
