Mixed d-f3 coordination complexes possessing improved near-infrared (NIR) lanthanide luminescent properties in aqueous solution.
The cyclen-based ligand 1, possessing a [1,10]-phenanthroline moiety as a pendant arm, has been used as a ditopic ligand for the complexation of d- and near infrared (NIR) emitting (and) f-metal ions. This ligand forms kinetically stable complexes, 1·Ln, with lanthanide ions such as Ln = ytterbium,...
