Abstract
We have used optical and EPR spectroscopy to study the mechanisms for color center formation in nanoporous glasses, polymethylmethacrylate, and alcoholic solutions containing ?-diketonate molecules: Cu(hfac)2, Ba(hfac)2, Pr(hfac)3, and Eu(fod)3. We have observed and studied the complex structure of the absorption bands in the 300 nm region belonging to the intraligand π-π* transition. Analogous results were obtained when studying the photoluminescence spectra of 5D0 → 7F0 transitions of Eu3+ ions and the EPR spectra of Cu2+ ions in matrices doped with Cu(hfac)2. We propose a model according to which for β-diketonate molecules (except for basic diketonates), a hydrolyzed form exists that is formed during synthesis of the polycrystalline powder due to the presence of water molecules. The model allows us to explain the spectral manifestations of β-diketonates in different matrices.
