The new luminescent cage-like tetranuclear silsesquioxanes exhibit a tunable thermosensitive Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer, making them suitable as temperature sensors operating in the range 41-100 degrees C with excellent linearity (R2 = 0.9990) and repeatability (>95%). The maximum relative sensitivity of 0.63% degrees C-1 is achieved at 68 degrees C, demonstrating their effective performance as thermometers.
New luminescent cage-like tetranuclear silsesquioxanes [NEt4][(Ph4Si4O8)(2)(Tb3Eu)(NO3)(4)(OH)(EtOH)(3)(H2O)]center dot 4(EtOH) (1) and [NEt4](2)[(Ph4Si4O8)(2)(Tb2Eu2)(NO3)(6)(EtOH)(2)(MeCN)(2)]center dot 4(MeCN) (2) present a tunable thermosensitive Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer driven by Tb3+ and Eu3+ emission and may be used as temperature sensors operating in the range 41-100 degrees C with excellent linearity (R-2 = 0.9990) and repeatability (>95%). The thermometer performance was evidenced by the maximum relative sensitivity of 0.63% degrees C-1 achieved at 68 degrees C.
