title: [Cucurbit[8]urils-induced room temperature phosphorescence of phenanthrene and fluorene].
abstract: In this paper, a new room temperature phosphorescence for phenanthrene and fluorene were first reported with cucurbit[8]uril as the revulsant, KI as the heavy atomperturber, and Na2SO3 as deoxygenation. The RTP maximum wavelengths were lambda(ex)/lambda(em) = 282/509 nm and lambda(ex)/lambda(em) = 276/518 nm and the RTP lifetimes of the two systems were 1.82 and 3.68 ms respectively. Under optimum experimental conditions, the RTP intensity was liner with phenanthrene and fluorene concentration in the range of 1.0 x 10(-7) -1. 5 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1), 1.5 x 10(-6)-1.0 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) and 8.0 x 10(-7)-8.0 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1), respectively. The detection limits were 4.8 x 10(-9) mol x L(-1) and 8.0 x 10(-9) mol x L(-1) respectively.
