Abstract: Two new lanthanide-based room temperature ionic liquids [Bmim][Ln(NO3)4] (Bmim =
6
1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; Ln = Dy, Sm) were synthesized and characterized. They show good
7
luminescent properties and could be used as good soft luminescent materials. This kind of hydrostable
8
and eco-friendly ionic liquids were firstly used to explore the sensing behavior for Fe(III) ions, exhibit
9
a highly specific recognition and not interfered by the following common mental ions: Ca(II), Al(III),
10
Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cr(III). These lanthanide-based ionic
11
liquids with strong luminescence have an outstanding application prospect in “green” fluorescent
12
sensor and could be widely used in actual detection of Fe(III) in the aqueous solutions.

1 Introduction
15
Ionic liquids (ILs) have several unique properties including generally negligible vapor pressure,
16
good electric conductivity, wide liquid ranges and large electrochemical window1-3, which make them
17
widely used in many physical and chemical fields, such as liquid-liquid extraction4, 5, CO2 capture6, 7,
18
green solvents8-10 and separations11.
19
Metal-containing ionic liquids based on imidazolium salts are promising new materials which can
20
favorably combine the properties of ionic liquids with additional magnetic, spectroscopic and catalytic
21
properties depending on the metal incorporated12-21. Recently, several types of ionic liquids containing
22
lanthanide have been reported as promising new materials in terms of luminescent materials
23
magnetic materials28, 29, and energetic materials30, 31.

Iron is a necessary microelement in human body and its content is regulated to maintain a normal
25
physiological function. Fe(III) ions play an essential role in vital cell functions such as hemoglobin
26
formation, muscle and brain function, and electron transfer processes in DNA and RNA synthesis.
27
However, studies have indicated that excess levels of Fe(III) in the blood may be regarded as the
28
pathogenic factor of bladder cancer and esophageal cancer. Hence, selective detection of Fe(III) ions is

very important for human health32-35.
30
Traditional qualitative or quantitative analytical methods of Fe(III) ions include atomic absorption,
31
colorimetry, spectrophotometry and voltammetry, etc. However, these analytical techniques not only
32
require complicated equipments but also need cumbersome sample pretreatments, which make the
33
detection processes more time-consuming and effort-consuming. In the past decade, fluorescent probes
34
such as Rhodamin B and metal-orgainc framework (MOF) have been developed significantly for
35
sensing metal ions due to their high sensitivity and low detection limit. However, experimental acute
36
poisoning in mice has demonstrated that Rhodamine B can lead to subcutaneous tissue sarcoma, so
37
they were considered to be carcinogens. Majority of luminescent lanthanide–organic frameworks
38
(Ln–MOFs) can identify Fe(III) ions due to their fluorescence quenching effect, nevertheless, other
39
metal ions such as Cu(II), Al(III) and Fe(II) can also quench the fluorescence meanwhile Ca(II) has the
40
function of enhanced fluorescence. As a result, Ln–MOFs do not performed very well in Fe(III)
41
specificity recognition because some of the detection results are interfered by some other metal ions
42
(such as Cu(II), Al(III), Fe(II) and Ca(II))36-40. On the other side, most of the Ln–MOFs were unstable
43
in aqueous solution, therefore, this characteristic will limit the applications of Ln–MOFs in actual
44
detection. Above all, searching for a new kind of hydrostable and environment-friendly fluorescent
45
probes which can recognize Fe(III) in a highly effective and specific manner is of great importance for
46
promoting the development of “green” chemistry.

3 Results and discussion
51
The luminescent properties of the two compounds were investigated at room temperature. The
52
Dy(III)-based room-temperature ionic liquid had an intense kelly emission and exhibited luminescence
53
peak at 481, 574, 662 and 751 nm. The characteristic transitions of Dy(III) were detected in both
54
excitation spectra and emission spectra which could be assigned to 4F9/2→6H15/2, 4F9/2→6H13/2,
55
4
56
among all the fluorescence peaks, with an extremely sharp peak, which indicated high color purity, as
57
shown in the insert of Fig. 1(a).
F9/2→6H11/2 and 6F9/2→6H15/2 transitions, respectively. The 4F9/2→6H13/2 transition was the most intense

narrow emission bands from 550 to 750 nm which exhibited the characteristic transitions of Sm(III)
61
ions and they are attributed to 4G5/2→6H5/2 (565 nm), 4G5/2→6H7/2 (596 nm) and 4G5/2→6H9/2 (648 nm),
62
respectively. Under UV-light irradiation, Sm-based ionic liquid shows a strong red luminescence,
63
which could be readily observed by the naked eye, as shown in the insert of Fig. 1(b).
64
The excitation spectra (Fig. 1) indicate that the two compounds belong to the luminescence
65
materials system with broad excitation bands, which extend to the visible-light region and could be
66
used as good soft luminescent materials.
67
The rare-earth ionic liquids which were used to explore the sensing behavior for Fe(III) ions have
68
never been explored before. So we firstly investigated the application of lanthanide-based room
69
temperature ionic liquid in the field of fluorescent probe. To examine the potential recognition of
70
mental ions, the two samples were dissolved in deionized water containing M(NO3)x (M = Ca(II),
71
Al(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II), Cr(III) and Fe(III)). The luminescent
72
properties were recorded and compared in Fig. 2.
73
Interestingly, the results revealed that all the metal ions except Fe(III) have minuteness degrees of
74
quenching effects on luminescence intensity. Different quenching effects led to the changes of emitting
75
color under UV-light irradiation, and the luminescence colors of the other metal ions (except Fe(III))
76
could hardly distinguished from the original color by the naked eye. In contrast, Fe(III) ions can quench
77
the emission of the two ionic liquids completely and their emission colors under UV light are dark. As
78
shown in the inserts of Fig. 2. The concentration of Dy-IL complex was 0.1 M and the detection limit
79
of Fe(III) at this concentration was calculated to be 9.4 µM from 3σ/k, where σ was the standard
80
deviation of the blank solutions (n=11) and k was the slope of the calibration curve (see Fig.S10 and
81
11). Use the same method, the detection limit of Sm-IL complex was calculated to be 86.8 µM (see
82
Fig.S12 and 13).
83
In order to check the high selectivity to Fe(III) ions over other metal ions, mixed metal ions (the
84
mixed ions are Ca(II), Al(III), Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cr(III))
85
were added into the Dy(III)-based ionic liquid aqueous solution. Under the irradiation of UV light of
86
365 nm, by the naked eye, the test sample shows difference in color change from that of the original
87
one. The emission spectrum of the mixed-ion-loaded sample decreased marginally compared to the
88
original one. However, when the test sample contained mixed metal ions including Fe(III) ions, the
89
sample shows a dark color which was easily distinguished by the naked eye.(See the insert of Fig. 3(a))

90
The measurement of the emission spectrum shows that the luminescence is quenched completely,
91
indicated that the selectivity for Fe(III) ions is not interfered by the existence of other common metal
92
ions. A block diagram showing the method of detecting Fe(III) is shown in Fig. 4.
93
The same method was applied to examine the selectivity of the Sm(III)-based ionic liquid. Fig.
94
3(b) shows that the Sm(III)-based ionic liquid containing mixed-ions (without Fe(III)) displayed a red
95
color under UV light irradiation at 365 nm, but this color was absent when Fe(III) was added to the
96
sample. The results suggest that two ionic liquids may have a strong selectivity for Fe(III) and this
97
selectivity could not be interfered by the presence of other common metal ions (Ca(II), Al(III), Zn(II),
98
Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cr(III)). Comparing with the traditional
99
detection methods, these two rare-earth ionic liquids as fluorescent probes to detect Fe(III) ions have
100
the excellent characteristics such as simple operation, swift response, convenient observation, high
101
sensitivity, high selectivity and low detection limit, especially, the lanthanide-based room temperature
102
ionic liquids are hydrostable and eco-friendly which can be used in “green” fluorescence probes fields
103
and be widely used to detect Fe(III) ions in aqueous solution.

4 Conclusion
105
Two new lanthanide-based room temperature ionic liquids [Bmim][Ln(NO3)4] (Bmim =
106
1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; Ln = Dy, Sm) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier Transform
107
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonace (1H NMR), Mass Spectrum (MS),
108
Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and Elemental Analysis (EA). The photoluminescence properties
109
of the lanthanide-containing ionic liquids were studied at room temperature in deionized water by
110
measuring emission and excitation spectra. Under UV lamp irradiated at 365 nm, [Bmim][Dy(NO3)4]
111
and [Bmim][Sm(NO3)4] shows strong fluorescence, which shows that these ionic liquids could be used
112
as good soft luminescent materials. Furthermore, the lanthanide-based room temperature ionic liquids
113
were firstly used to explore the sensing behavior of metal ions. Most interestingly, the two compounds
114
are rare examples of a highly selective and sensitive luminescence probes for Fe(III) ions. The emitting
115
color change of these probes before and after containing Fe(III) is easily distinguishable even with the
116
naked eye under UV-light irradiation of 365 nm. The significant property of the two ionic liquids is that
117
the selectivity to Fe(III) ions is not influenced by other mixed common metal ions (Ca(II), Al(III),
118
Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Ni(II) and Cr(III)). More than that, these
119
lanthanide-containing ionic liquids could be widely used in actual detection because they are
