| description | 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, neodymium, and lutetium (formed as a non-IR emitting reference compound), the synthesis and photophysical properties of which are described herein in detail. These 1·Ln complexes were then used as building blocks for the formation of mixed d−f heteropolymetallic self-assemblies, where the phen moiety was used to complex a ruthenium (Ru(II)) ion, giving the d−f3 complexes Ru·Ln3 (Ln = Nd(III), Yb(III), Lu(III)). The formation of these supramolecular coordination conjugates was studied by using absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, while the solution structure of the Ru·Lu3 was elucidated by 1H NMR in D2O and H2O. Of these conjugates, both Ru·Nd3 and Ru·Yb3 displayed an intense NIR-emission in H2O at pH 7.4 (with Q(Yb)(L) = 0.073% and Q(Nd)(L) = 0.040%) and in D2O (with QYbL = 0.23% and Q(Nd)(L) = 0.10%). By comparison with their monometallic analogues Ln·1 (Ln = Nd(III), Yb(III)), we demonstrate that our new design possesses an enhanced sensitization efficiency for lanthanide metal centered sensitization upon using the [Ru(phen)3] moiety (d → f energy transfer) as a visibly exciting antenna, and we demonstrate that the intensity of the Ru(II)-based luminescence strictly correlates to the efficiency of the d → f energy transfer processes. |
