Sensitized near-infrared emission from complexes of YbIII, NdIII and ErIII by energy-transfer from covalently attached PtII-based antenna units.

A series of dinuclear platinum(II)-lanthanide(iii) complexes has been prepared in which a square-planar Pt(II) unit, either [(PPh(3))(2)Pt(pdo)] (H(2)pdo=5,6-dihydroxyphenanthroline) or [Cl(2)Pt(dppz)] [dppz=2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine], is connected to a Ln(dik)(3) unit ("dik"=a 1,3-diketo...
