Synthesis and characterization of novel luminescent europium(iii) hybrid materials with a host based on titania–mesoporous silica or alumina–mesoporous silica

We achieved an assembly of a Eu complex covalently bonded to different mesoporous silica (MCM-41 and SBA 15) and two different metallic alkoxides (Ti–O and Al–O). The effect of the different matrices on the luminescence behavior was investigated.
