[Effect of oxygen on the fluorescence of sol-gel with ruthenium complexes].

Different Ru complexes were used in an organically modified sol-gel (ormosil) sensing film to character their quenching behaviors to oxygen. The sensing film with tris-(4,7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline) ruthenium(II) [Ru(dpp)(2+)3] as an indicator was selected because of its characteristics with high quenching efficiency, fast response time, high luminescence intensity and long-term stability. The quenching behavior of the sensing film greatly depended on the content of dimethyldimethoxysilane (DiMe-DMOS) in ormosil because DiMe-DMOS changed the polarity of sensing film.

[Oxygen sensing film based on organically modified sol-gel with ruthenium complexes and their fluorescent spectra studies].

A new kind of organically modified sol-gel (ormosil) as a matrix for oxygen-sensitive sensor, in which dimethyldimethoxysilane was selected as an organic modifier in the precursor is described. The fluorescent behaviors of different ruthenium complexes in solution and ormosil film were studied. The sensing film with different kind ruthenium complex as an indicator developed in this paper was characterized in terms of efficiently quenched by oxygen.
