Embedding lanthanide-functionalized polymers into hollow mesoporous silica spheres: a ship-in-a-bottle approach to luminescent hybrid materials†
Abstract
Photoluminescent hybrid materials were designed and synthesized according to a ship-in-a-bottle approach, comprising hollow mesoporous silica spheres (HMSS) and lanthanide coordination compounds supported by poly(4-vinylpyridine) and 1,10-phenanthroline.
