Notes:
A new water-insoluble polysiloxane containing pendant Ru(bpy)32+ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) was studied with respect to the photoluminescence and its quenching by dioxygen. The emission was quenched by O2 in water more efficiently than in gas phase, and the Stern-Volmer plots showed a downward deviating curve. To determine which of several quenching models can be applied to the present system, the emission decays under various O2 concentration were measured, and analyzed by a double exponential decay. From the simulations of the decay using the kinetic parameters obtained from the model analysis, it has been concluded that the quenching by O2 is caused by static quenching (model 4). The O2 concentration in the film in contact with water estimated from the quenching parameters was much higher than the solubility of O2 estimated from the solubility coefficient in a dry film. These results suggest specific affinity of the polysiloxane for O2 molecule in water.
