ABSTRACT
4-Tert-butylbenzoic acid (TBBA) was modified to achieve a functional molecular bridge (TBBA-APMS) with double reactivity by the amidation reaction by a cross-linking molecule (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (abbreviated as APMS). The modified functional ligand further behaves as a bridge which can both coordinate to terbium ion through amide’ oxygen atom and occur an in situ sol-gel process with matrix precursor (tetraethoxysilane, TEOS), resulting a novel molecular hybrid material (named as Tb-TBBA-APMS) with double chemical bond (Tb–O coordination bond and Si–O covalent bond). Ultraviolet absorption, phosphorescence, and fluorescence spectra were applied to characterize the photophysical properties of the obtained hybrid material. The strong luminescence of Tb3+ substantiates optimum energy couple and effective intramolecular energy transfer between the triplet state energy of modified ligand bridge and emissive energy level of Tb3+ .

Characterize the photophysical properties of obtained hybrid material
• Electron distribution of the modified TBBA-APMS has hardly changed compared to free TBBA ligand for the introduction of APMS group.

• 10 nm (258-248 nm) is observed on addition of Tb3+ to TBBA-A PMS, proving the formation of a complex between Tb3+ and TBBA -APMS.
Phosphorescence spectra at 77K

• Different phosphorescence bands correspond to different ligand molecules

• Hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions between triethoxysilyl of TBBA-APMS and TEOS lead to the formation of Si-O-Si network structures for the same alkoxy groups.
• A novel luminescent molecular-based hybrid material with double chemical bond was firstly constructed using TBBA-APMS coordinated to Tb3+ .
• This technology can be expected to the assembly other luminescent molecular-based hybrid material.
