    Long wavelength sensitizers for europium(III) luminescence based on acridone derivatives

    No full text
    The preparation of several acridone derivatives which have been shown to act as sensitizers for europium(III) luminescence at wavelengths longer than 400 nm is described. The efficiency of sensitization increases as the chromophore is held closer to the ion and the inner sphere hydration number of the ion lowered

    Small singlet-triplet energy gap of acridone enables longer wavelength sensitisation of europium(III) luminescence

    Incorporation of 9(10H)-acridone as a chromophore into a seven-coordinate chelating ligand allows observation of sensitised luminescence from the europium(III) complex, even with excitation wavelengths greater than 410 nm

    Pyrene-sensitised near-IR luminescence from ytterbium and neodymium complexes.

    Ytterbium and neodymium have been shown to exhibit sensitised emission following excitation of pyrene chromophores. Sensitised emission is demonstrated in self-assembled complexes and in azamacrocycle derivatives bearing pendent pyrene groups. Energy transfer in these systems is dependent on the nature of the link between the ligand and the complex
