This article reports a novel method to assemble a small anion with exfoliated Mg鈥揂l-layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets into ordered ultrathin films (UTFs) by employing the layer-by-layer assembly technique. The premixing solution of tris(8-hydroxyquinolate-5-sulfonate)aluminum(III) (AQS3鈥?/sup>) with three kinds of polyanions鈥攑oly(acrylic acid), ((C3H4O2)n, PAA), poly(styrene 4-sulfonate) ([CH2CH(C6H4)SO3]m, PSS), and poly[5-methoxy-2-(3-sulfopropoxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] (C12H13O5S)n, PPV)鈥攈as been used as building blocks to assemble alternatively with LDH nanosheets. The UV鈥搗is absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy of (AQS-polyanion/LDH)n UTFs presents stepwise growth upon increasing deposited cycles in comparison with the (AQS/LDH)n film under the same experimental process. (AQS-PPV/LDH)n UTF displays complex fluorescence originating from AQS and PPV. The (AQS/LDH)n and (AQS-polyanion/LDH)n UTFs exhibit higher blue-polarized photoemission character with a luminescence anisotropy (r) of ca. 0.12鈥?.20 and a longer fluorescence lifetime than that of the Na3AQS film with r = 0.04. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy demonstrated that the UTFs were orderly periodically layered structures with a thickness of ca. 3.0 nm per bilayer. Therefore, this work gives a feasible method for immobilizing small anions into the gallery of LDHs.
