ABSTRACT

Three Eu(III) luminescent compounds were separately entrapped in a xerogel porous silica matrix and finely ground particles of it were deposited on a glass support with polyvinylacetate (PVAc) as a binder to build a thin film sensor. These 3 devices were immersed in aqueous solutions of Cu(II) and the content of this metal was evaluated by emissionquenching experiments. The sensor containing the highly luminescent antenna chelate of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (dtpa) sensitized ...
