Abstract
Reductive dimerization of fulvenes using low-valent metal precursors is a straightforward one-step approach to access ethylene-bridged metallocenes. This process has so far mainly been employed with fulvenes carrying one or two substituents in the exocyclic position. In this work, a new synthesis of the unsubstituted exocyclic 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylfulvene (1), its full structural characterization by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as some photophysical properties and its first use in reductive dimerization are described. This fulvene reacted with different lanthanoid metals in thf to provide the divalent ansa-octaphenylmetallocenes [Ln(C5Ph4CH2)2(thf)n] (Ln = Sm, n = 2 (2); Ln = Eu, n = 2 (3); and Ln = Yb, n = 1 (4)). These complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and, in the case of Sm and Yb, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, showing the influence of the ansa-bridge on solution and solid-state structures compared to previously reported unbridged metallocenes. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of the Eu ansa complex 3 were studied in solution and the solid state, revealing significant differences with the known octa- and deca-phenyleuropocenes, [Eu(C5Ph4H)2(dme)] and [Eu(C5Ph5)2].

Abstract
Divalent lanthanide (Ln) compounds are excellent reducing agents with unique reactivity profiles. These reagents are typically used in superstoichiometric amounts, often in combination with harmful additives. Reactions catalytic in Ln(II) reagents that retain the reactivity and selectivity of the stoichiometric transformations are currently lacking due to the absence of effective and selective methods to form reactive Ln(II) species from stable precursors. Here, active Ln(II) is generated from a Ln(III) precursor through reduction by a photoexcited coumarin or carbostyril chromophore, which, in turn, is regenerated by a sacrificial reductant. The reductant can be metallic (Zn) or organic (amines) and can be used in strictly stoichiometric amounts. A broad range of reactions, including C-halogen, C═C, C═X (X = O, N), P═O, and N═N reductions, as well as C-C, C-X (X = N, S, P), and N-N couplings were readily carried out in yields and selectivities comparable to or better than those afforded by the analogous stoichiometric transformations. The reaction outcomes could be altered by changing the ligand or the lanthanide or through the addition of environmentally benign additives (e.g., water). EPR spectroscopy supported the formation of both Ln(II) and oxidized chromophore intermediates. Taken together, these results establish photochemical Ln(II) generation as a powerful strategy for rendering Ln(II)-mediated reactions catalytic.

Abstract
Microorganisms show a high affinity for trivalent actinides and lanthanides, which play an important role in the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste as well as in the mining of various rare earth elements. The interaction of the lanthanide Eu(III) with the sulfate-reducing microorganism Desulfosporosinus hippei DSM 8344T, a representative of the genus Desulfosporosinus that naturally occurs in clay rock and bentonite, was investigated. Eu(III) is often used as a non-radioactive analogue for the trivalent actinides Pu(III), Am(III), and Cm(III), which contribute to a major part of the radiotoxicity of the nuclear waste. D. hippei DSM 8344T showed a weak interaction with Eu(III), most likely due to a complexation with lactate in artificial Opalinus Clay pore water. Hence, a low removal of the lanthanide from the supernatant was observed. Scanning transmission electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed a bioprecipitation of Eu(III) with phosphates potentially excreted from the cells. This demonstrates that the ongoing interaction mechanisms are more complex than a simple biosorption process. The bioprecipitation was also verified by luminescence spectroscopy, which showed that the formation of the Eu(III) phosphate compounds starts almost immediately after the addition of the cells. Moreover, chemical microscopy provided information on the local distribution of the different Eu(III) species in the formed cell aggregates. These results provide first insights into the interaction mechanisms of Eu(III) with sulfate-reducing bacteria and contribute to a comprehensive safety concept for a high-level radioactive waste repository, as well as to a better understanding of the fate of heavy metals (especially rare earth elements) in the environment.

Abstract
Radiographic mapping of hypoxia is needed to study a wide range of diseases. Complexes of Eu(II) are a promising class of molecules to fit this need, but they are generally limited by their rapid oxidation rates in vivo. Here, a perfluorocarbon-nanoemulsion perfused with N2 , forms an interface with aqueous layers to hinder oxidation of a new perfluorocarbon-soluble complex of Eu(II). Conversion of the perfluorocarbon solution of Eu(II) into nanoemulsions results in observable differences between reduced and oxidized forms by magnetic resonance imaging both in vitro and in vivo. Oxidation in vivo occurrs over a period of ≈30 min compared to <5 min for a comparable Eu(II)-containing complex without nanoparticle interfaces. These results represent a critical step toward delivery of Eu(II)-containing complexes in vivo for the study of hypoxia.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a prognostic biomarker of rapidly growing cancers, where the extent of hypoxia is an indication of tumor progression and prognosis; therefore, hypoxia is also used for staging while performing chemo- and radiotherapeutics for cancer. Contrast-enhanced MRI using EuII-based contrast agents is a noninvasive method that can be used to map hypoxic tumors, but quantification of hypoxia using these agents is challenging due to the dependence of signal on the concentration of both oxygen and EuII. Here, we report a ratiometric method to eliminate concentration dependence of contrast enhancement of hypoxia using fluorinated EuII/III-containing probes. We studied three different EuII/III couples of complexes containing 4, 12, or 24 fluorine atoms to balance fluorine signal-to-noise ratio with aqueous solubility. The ratio between the longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and 19F signal of solutions containing different ratios of EuII- and EuIII-containing complexes was plotted against the percentage of EuII-containing complexes in solution. We denote the slope of the resulting curves as hypoxia indices because they can be used to quantify signal enhancement from Eu, that is related to oxygen concentration, without knowledge of the absolute concentration of Eu. This mapping of hypoxia was demonstrated in vivo in an orthotopic syngeneic tumor model. Our studies significantly contribute toward improving the ability to radiographically map and quantify hypoxia in real time, which is critical to the study of cancer and a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Lanthanides have been frequently used as biomimetic compounds for NMR and fluorescence studies of Ca2+ binding proteins due to having similar physical properties and coordination geometry to Ca2+ ions. Here we report that a member of the neuronal calcium sensor family, neuronal calcium sensor 1, complexes with two lanthanide ions Tb3+ and Eu3+. The affinity for Tb3+ is nearly 50 times higher than that for Ca2+ (Kd,Tb3+ = 0.002 ± 0.0001 μM and Kd, Ca2+ = 91 nM) whereas Eu3+ binding is notably weaker, Kd,Eu3+ = 26 ± 1 μM. Interestingly, despite having identical charge and similar ionic radii, Tb3+ and Eu3+ ions exhibit a distinct binding stoichiometry for NCS1 with one Eu3+ and two Tb3+ ions bound per NCS1 monomer, as demonstrated in fluorescence titration and mass spectrometry studies. These results suggest that the lanthanides' affinity for the individual EF hands is fine-tuned by a small variation in the ion charge density as well as EF hand binding loop amino acid sequence. As observed previously for other lanthanide:protein complexes, the emission intensity of Ln3+ is enhanced upon complexation with the protein, likely due to the displacement of water molecules by oxygen atoms from the coordinating amino acid residues. The overall shape of the Tb3+NCS1 and Eu3+NCS1 monomer shows high levels of similarity compared to the Ca2+ bound protein based on their collision cross section. However, the distinct occupation of EF hands impacts NCS1 oligomerization and affinity for the D2R peptide that mimics the NCS1 binding site on the D2R receptor. Specifically, the Tb3+NCS1 complex populates the dimer and has comparable affinity for the D2R peptide, whereas Eu3+ bound NCS1 remains in the monomeric form with a negligible affinity for the D2R peptide.

Abstract
Five new compounds of formula [LnII(Mentpa)2](BPh4)2 (Ln = Eu, n = 0 (1-Eu), n = 2 (2-Eu) and n = 3 (3-Eu); Ln = Yb, n = 0 (1-Yb) and n = 2 (2-Yb); tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, n = 0-3 corresponds to successive methylation of the 6-position of the pyridine rings of Mentpa) have been synthesized and their structural, photophysical and electrochemical properties investigated. The LnII ions in the five complexes possess cubic coordination geometry and exhibit only small structural differences, due to the lengthening of the Ln-N bonds to accommodate the additional steric bulk associated with increasing methylation of the Mentpa ligands. Photophysical studies indicate moderate shifts in absorbance, emission and excitation bands associated with the 4f7 ↔ 4f65d1 (EuII) and 4f14 ↔ 4f135d1 (YbII) transitions, while electrochemistry reveals modulation of the redox potential of the LnII to LnIII oxidation. There is a strong correlation between Ln-N bond lengths and both the photophysical transition energies and metal redox-potentials, revealing how subtle ligand changes and ligand field effects can be used to modulate the electronic properties of complexes of divalent lanthanoid ions. Utilization of these insights may ultimately afford design and property tuning strategies for future functional molecular complexes based on divalent lanthanoid metals.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a hallmark of many diseases, including cancer, arthritis, heart and kidney diseases, and diabetes, and it is often associated with disease aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Consequently, there is a critical need for imaging hypoxia in a noninvasive and direct way to diagnose, stage, and monitor the treatment and development of new therapies for these diseases. Eu-containing contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging have demonstrated potential for in vivo imaging of hypoxia via changes in metal oxidation state from +2 to +3, but rapid oxidation in blood limits EuII-containing complexes to studies compatible with direct injection to sites. Here, we report a new EuII-containing complex that persists in oxygenated environments and is capable of persisting in blood long enough for imaging by magnetic resonance imaging. We describe the screening of a library of ligands that led to the discovery of the complex as well as a pH-dependent mechanism that hinders oxidation to enable usefulness in vivo. These studies of the first divalent lanthanide complex that persists in oxygenated solutions open the door to the use of EuII-based contrast agents for imaging hypoxia in a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Hypoxia in solid tumors is associated with poor prognosis, increased aggressiveness, and strong resistance to therapeutics, making accurate monitoring of hypoxia important. Several imaging modalities have been used to study hypoxia, but each modality has inherent limitations. The use of a second modality can compensate for the limitations and validate the results of any single imaging modality. In this review, we describe dual-mode imaging systems for the detection of hypoxia that have been reported since the start of the 21st century. First, we provide a brief overview of the hallmarks of hypoxia used for imaging and the imaging modalities used to detect hypoxia, including optical imaging, ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging, single-photon emission tomography, X-ray computed tomography, positron emission tomography, Cerenkov radiation energy transfer imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging, magnetic particle imaging, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, and mass spectrometric imaging. These overviews are followed by examples of hypoxia-relevant imaging using a mixture of probes for complementary single-mode imaging techniques. Then, we describe dual-mode molecular switches that are responsive in multiple imaging modalities to at least one hypoxia-induced pathological change. Finally, we offer future perspectives toward dual-mode imaging of hypoxia and hypoxia-induced pathophysiological changes in tumor microenvironments.

Abstract
Trinuclear molecular complexes of europium (II) and ytterbium(II) [Ln3{(Ph2SiO)2O}3(THF)6], 1-Ln3L3 (Ln = Eu and Yb), supported by the dianionic tetraphenyl disiloxanediolate ligand, were synthesized via protonolysis of the [Ln{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] complexes. In contrast, the reaction of [Sm{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] with the (Ph2SiOH)2O ligand led to the isolation of the mixed-valent Sm(II)/Sm(III) complex [Sm3{(Ph2SiO)2O}3{N(SiMe3)2}(THF)4], 2-Sm3L3, which was crystallographically characterized. The Eu(II) complex 1-Eu3L3 displays weak ferromagnetic coupling between the Eu(II) metal centers (J = 0.1035 cm-1). The addition of 3 equiv of (Ph2SiOK)2O to 1-Eu3L3 resulted in the formation of the polynuclear Eu(II) dimer of dimers [K4Eu2{(Ph2SiO)2O}4(Et2O)2]2, 3-Eu2L4. Complexes 1-Ln3L3 (Ln = Eu and Yb) are stable in solution at room temperature, while 3-Eu2L4 shows higher reactivity and rapidly decomposes to give the mixed-valent Eu(II)/Eu(III) species [K3Eu2{(Ph2SiO)2O}4], 4-Eu2L4. Complex 1-Yb3L3 affects the slow reductive disproportionation of carbon dioxide, but 1-Eu3L3 does not display any reactivity toward CO2. However, the presence of one additional (Ph2SiO-)2O per Eu(II) metal center in 3-Eu2L4 increases dramatically the reductive ability of the Eu(II) metal centers, affording the first example of carbon dioxide activation by an isolated divalent europium complex. The reduction of CO2 by 3-Eu2L4 is immediate, and carbonate is formed selectively after the addition of a stoichiometric amount of CO2.

Abstract
The observation of a sharp predissociation threshold in the resonant two-photon ionization spectra of EuO, TmO, and YbO has been used to measure the bond dissociation energies of these species. The resulting values, D0(EuO) = 4.922(3) eV, D0(TmO) = 5.242(6) eV, and D0(YbO) = 4.083(3) eV, are in good agreement with previous values but are much more precise. In addition, the ionization energy of TmO was measured by the observation of a threshold for one-color two-photon ionization of this species, resulting in IE(TmO) = 6.56(2) eV. The observation of a sharp predissociation threshold for EuO was initially surprising because the half-filled 4f7 subshell of Eu in its ground state generates fewer potential energy curves than in the other molecules we have studied by this method. The observation of a sharp predissociation threshold in YbO was even more surprising, given that the ground state of Yb is nondegenerate (4f146s2, 1Sg) and the lowest excited state of Yb is over 2 eV higher in energy. It is suggested that these molecules possess a high density of electronic states at the energy of the ground separated atom limit because ion-pair states drop below the ground limit, providing a sufficient electronic state density to allow predissociation to set in at the thermochemical threshold.

Abstract
The development of molecular materials with novel functionality offers promise for technological innovation. Switchable molecules that incorporate redox-active components are enticing candidate compounds due to their potential for electronic manipulation. Lanthanoid metals are most prevalent in their trivalent state and usually redox-activity in lanthanoid complexes is restricted to the ligand. The unique electronic and physical properties of lanthanoid ions have been exploited for various applications, including in magnetic and luminescent materials as well as in catalysis. Lanthanoid complexes are also promising for applications reliant on switchability, where the physical properties can be modulated by varying the oxidation state of a coordinated ligand. Lanthanoid-based redox activity is also possible, encompassing both divalent and tetravalent metal oxidation states. Thus, utilization of redox-active lanthanoid metals offers an attractive opportunity to further expand the capabilities of molecular materials. This review surveys both ligand and lanthanoid centered redox-activity in pre-existing molecular systems, including tuning of lanthanoid magnetic and photophysical properties by modulating the redox states of coordinated ligands. Ultimately the combination of redox-activity at both ligands and metal centers in the same molecule can afford novel electronic structures and physical properties, including multiconfigurational electronic states and valence tautomerism. Further targeted exploration of these features is clearly warranted, both to enhance understanding of the underlying fundamental chemistry, and for the generation of a potentially important new class of molecular material.

Abstract
Metal-based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging present a promising avenue to image hypoxia. EuII -based contrast agents have a unique biologically relevant redox couple, EuII/III , that distinguishes this metal for use in hypoxia imaging. To that end, we investigated a strategy to enhance the contrast-enhancing capabilities of EuII -based cryptates in magnetic resonance imaging by controlling the rotational dynamics. Two dimetallic, EuII -containing cryptates were synthesized to test the efficacy of rigid versus flexible coupling strategies. A flexible strategy to dimerization led to a modest (114 %) increase in contrast enhancement per Eu ion (60 MHz, 298 K), but a rigid linking strategy led to an excellent (186 %) increase in contrast enhancement despite this compound's having the smaller molecular mass of the two dimetallic complexes. We envision the rigid linking strategy to be useful in the future design of potent EuII -based contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract
Europium, terbium, dysprosium, and samarium are the main trivalent lanthanide ions emitting in the visible spectrum. In this work, the potential of these ions for colorimetric applications and colour reproduction was studied. The conversion of spectral data to colour coordinates was undertaken for three sets of Ln complexes composed of different ligands. We showed that Eu is the most sensitive of the visible Ln ions, regarding ligand-induced colour shifts, due to its hypersensitive transition. Further investigation on the spectral bandwidth of the emission detector, on the wavelengths’ accuracy, on the instrumental correction function, and on the use of incorrect intensity units confirm that the instrumental correction function is the most important spectrophotometric parameter to take into account in order to produce accurate colour values. Finally, we established and discussed the entire colour range (gamut) that can be generated by combining a red-emitting Eu complex with a green-emitting Tb complex and a blue fluorescent compound. The importance of choosing a proper white point is demonstrated. The potential of using different sets of complexes with different spectral fingerprints in order to obtain metameric colours suitable for anti-counterfeiting is also highlighted. This work answers many questions that could arise during a colorimetric analysis of luminescent probes.

Abstract
The efficient and selective aerobic oxidation of alcohols has been investigated with judicious combinations of europium-incorporated and/or TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl)-functionalized zirconium-based porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Although MOFs are well-known catalytic platforms for the aerobic oxidation with radical-functionalities and metal nanoparticles, these systematic approaches involving metal cations and/or radical species introduce numerous interesting aspects for cooperation between metals and TEMPO for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols. The role of TEMPO as the oxidant in the heterogeneous catalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols was revealed through a series of comparisons between metal-anchored, TEMPO-anchored, and metal and TEMPO-anchored MOF catalysis. The fine tunability of the MOF allowed the homogeneously and doubly functionalized catalysts to undergo organic reactions in the heterogeneous media. In addition, the well-defined and carefully designed heterogeneous molecular catalysts displayed reusability along with better catalytic performance than the homogeneous systems using identical coordinating ligands. The role of metal-cation fixation should be carefully revised to control their coordination and maximize their catalytic activity. Lastly, the metal cation-fixed MOF displayed better substrate tolerance and reaction efficiencies than the TEMPO-anchored MOF or mixture MOF systems.

Abstract
Due to the importance of both visible-light luminescence and lanthanides in modern society, the influence of the ligand environment on complexes of YbII were studied and compared with analogous complexes of EuII. Four ligands with systematically varied electronic and steric characteristics were used to probe the coordination environment and electronic and redox properties of the corresponding YbII-containing complexes. Strong-field nitrogenous donors gave rise to bathochromic shifts, leading to visible-light absorption by YbII. Trends in properties across the series of YbII-containing complexes were compared to trends reported for the analogous EuII-containing complexes, revealing the translatability of coordination environment effects across the divalent lanthanide series. These studies provide valuable information regarding the behavior of small and medium-sized divalent lanthanides outside of the solid state.

Abstract
The dissociation rates of five EuII-containing cryptates in water were measured using UV-visible spectroscopy and murexide at pH 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, and 9. Murexide was used as a coordinating dye for EuII. The results for a known cryptate were within experimental error of the value obtained using other methods and enabled the measurement of other cryptates. This validation of the use of murexide to study the dissociation of EuII-containing cryptates enables its use with other complexes of EuII.

Abstract
In an era of personalized medicine, the clinical community has become increasingly focused on understanding diseases at the cellular and molecular levels. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful imaging modality for acquiring anatomical and functional information. However, it has limited applications in the field of molecular imaging due to its low sensitivity. To expand the capability of MRI to encompass molecular imaging applications, we introduced bioresponsive Gd(III)-based magnetic resonance contrast agents (GBCAs) in 1997. Since that time, many research groups across the globe have developed new examples of bioresponsive GBCAs. These contrast agents have shown great promise for visualizing several biochemical processes, such as gene expression, neuronal signaling, and hormone secretion. They are designed to be conditionally retained, or activated, in vivo in response to specific biochemical events of interest. As a result, an observed MR signal change can serve as a read-out for molecular events. A significant challenge for these probes is how to utilize them for noninvasive diagnostic and theranostic applications. This Perspective focuses on the design strategies that underlie bioresponsive probes, and describes the key advances made in recent years that are facilitating their application in vivo and ultimately in clinical translation. While the field of bioresponsive agents is embryonic, it is clear that many solutions to the experimental and clinical radiologic problems of today will be overcome by the probes of tomorrow.

Abstract
MRI has been recognized as one of the most applied medical imaging techniques in clinical practice. However, the presence of background signal coming from water protons in surrounding tissues makes sometimes the visualization of local contrast agents difficult. To remedy this, fluorine has been introduced as a reliable perspective, thanks to its magnetic properties being relatively close to those of protons. In this review, we aim to give an overall description of fluorine incorporation in contrast agents for MRI. The different kinds of fluorinated probes such as perfluorocarbons, fluorinated dendrimers, polymers and paramagnetic probes will be described, as will their imaging applications such as chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging, physico-chemical changes detection, drug delivery, cell tracking and inflammation or tumors detection.

Abstract
We report a screening procedure to predict ligand coordination to EuII and EuIII using magnetic resonance imaging in which bright images indicate complexation and dark images indicate no complexation. Here, paramagnetic GdIII is used as a surrogate for EuIII in the screening procedure to enable detection with magnetic resonance imaging. The screening procedure was tested using a set of eight ligands with known coordination to EuII and EuIII, and results were found to be consistent with expected binding. Validation of the screening procedure with known coordination chemistry enables use with new ligands in the future.

Abstract
Biological probes constructed from lanthanides can provide a variety of readout signals, such as the luminescence of Eu(iii), Tb(iii), Yb(iii), Sm(iii) and Dy(iii), and the proton relaxation enhancement of Gd(iii) and Eu(ii). For numerous applications the intracellular delivery of the lanthanide probe is essential. Here, we review the methods for the intracellular delivery of non-targeted complexes (i.e. where the overall complex structure enhances cellular uptake), as well as complexes attached to a targeting unit (i.e. to a peptide or a small molecule) that facilitates delivery. The cellular applications of lanthanide-based supramolecules (dendrimers, metal organic frameworks) are covered briefly. Throughout, we emphasize the techniques that can confirm the intracellular localization of the lanthanides and those that enable the determination of the fate of the probes once inside the cell. Finally, we highlight methods that have not yet been applied in the context of lanthanide-based probes, but have been successful in the intracellular delivery of other metal-based probes.

Different imaging modalities can be accessed (T 1 or PARACEST) dependent on the oxidation state of the europium ion. Throughout the past 30 years, there have been significant manipulations and additions made to the DOTA scaffold; yet, characterizations related to electrochemistry and structure determined through XRD analysis have not been fully analyzed. In this work, electrochemical analysis using cyclic voltammetry was carried out on EuDOTA derivatives, including the free ligand DOTAGly4 (4) and the complexes. Effects of glycinate substitution on the DOTA scaffold, specifically, ligand interactions with the glassy carbon electrode were observed. A range of electrochemical investigations were carried out to show that increased glycinate substitution led to increased interaction with the electrode surface, thus implicating a new factor to consider when evaluating the electrochemistry of glycinate substituted ligands. In addition, the solid-state structure of EuDOTAGly4 (Eu4) was determined by X-ray diffraction and a brief analysis is presented compared to known Ln3+ structures found within literature. The Eu4 complex crystalizes in a rare polymer type arrangement via bridging side-arms between adjacent complexes.

Abstract
Considerable research effort has focused on the in vivo use of responsive imaging probes that change imaging properties upon reacting with oxygen because hypoxia is relevant to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring diseases. One promising class of compounds for oxygen-responsive imaging is EuII-containing complexes because the EuII/III redox couple enables imaging with multiple modalities including magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging. The use of EuII requires care in handling to avoid unintended oxidation during synthesis and characterization. This review describes recent advances in the field of imaging agents based on discrete EuII-containing complexes with specific focus on the synthesis, characterization, and handling of aqueous EuII-containing complexes.

Abstract
We report the first catalytic use of a divalent lanthanide in visible-light-promoted bond-forming reactions. Our new precatalyst uses europium in the +2 oxidation state and is active in the presence of blue light from light-emitting diodes. The use of low-energy visible light reduces the occurrence of potential side reactions that might be induced by higher-energy UV light. The system described here uses zinc metal as a sacrificial reductant and is tolerant to wet, protic solvents. The catalyst can be made in situ from relatively inexpensive and air-stable EuCl3·6H2O, and the ligand can be synthesized in large quantities in two steps. With 0.5% loading of precatalyst, an average of 120 turnovers was observed in six hours for reductive coupling of benzyl chloride. We expect that the results will initiate the study of visible-light-promoted photoredox catalysis using divalent europium in a variety of reactions.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using redox-active, EuII-containing complexes is one of the most promising techniques for noninvasively imaging hypoxia in vivo. In this technique, positive (T1-weighted) contrast enhancement persists in areas of relatively low oxidizing ability, such as hypoxic tissue. Herein, we describe a fluorinated, EuII-containing complex in which the redox-active metal is caged by intramolecular interactions. The position of the fluorine atoms enables temperature-responsive contrast enhancement in the reduced form of the contrast agent and detection of the oxidized contrast agent via MRI in vivo. Positive contrast is observed in 1H-MRI with Eu in the +2 oxidation state, and chemical exchange saturation transfer and 19F-MRI signal are observed with Eu in the +3 oxidation state. Contrast enhancement is controlled by the redox state of Eu, and modulated by the fluorous interactions that cage a bound water molecule reduce relaxivity in a temperature-dependent fashion. Together, these advancements constitute the first report of in vivo, redox-responsive imaging using 19F-MRI.

Abstract
The Eu3+/2+ redox couple provides a convenient design platform for responsive pO2 sensors for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Specifically the Eu2+ ion provides T1w contrast enhancement under hypoxic conditions in tissues, whereas, under normoxia, the Eu3+ ion can produce contrast from chemical exchange saturation transfer in MRI. The oxidative stability of the Eu3+/2+ redox couple for a series of tetraaza macrocyclic complexes was investigated in this work using cyclic voltammetry. A series of Eu-containing cyclen-based macrocyclic complexes revealed positive shifts in the Eu3+/2+ redox potentials with each replacement of a carboxylate coordinating arm of the ligand scaffold with glycinamide pendant arms. The data obtained reveal that the complex containing four glycinamide coordinating pendant arms has the highest oxidative stability of the series investigated.

Abstract
EuII -containing complexes were studied with respect to properties relevant to their use as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. The influences of molecular parameters and field strength on relaxivity were studied for a series of EuII -containing cryptates and their adducts with β-cyclodextrins, poly-β-cyclodextrins, and human serum albumin. Solid- and solution-phase characterization of EuII -containing complexes is presented that demonstrates the presence of inner-sphere molecules of water. Additionally, relaxivity, water-exchange rate, rotational correlation time, and electronic relaxation times were determined using variable-temperature 17 O NMR, nuclear magnetic relaxation dispersion, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic techniques. These results are expected to be instrumental in the design of future EuII -based contrast agents.

Abstract
The design principles, mechanism of action and performance of europium(III) complexes that serve as strongly emissive and responsive molecular probes in water are critically discussed. Examples of systems designed to assess pH, selected metal ions and anions, including chiral species, as well as selected small molecules and biopolymers are considered, and prospects evaluated for improved performance in more complex biological media such as in bio-fluids and within living cells. Modulation of the emission spectral form, lifetime and degree of circular polarisation can be used to quantify the spectral response and permit calibration.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanide (Ln(III)) complexes with coumarin or carbostyril antennae were synthesized and their photophysical properties evaluated using steady-state and time-resolved UV-vis spectroscopy. Ligands bearing distant hydroxycoumarin-derived antennae attached through triazole linkers were modest sensitizers for Eu(III) and Tb(III), whereas ligands with 7-amidocarbostyrils directly linked to the coordination site could reach good quantum yields for multiple Ln(III), including the visible emitters Sm(III) and Dy(III), and the near-infrared emitters Nd(III) and Yb(III). The highest lanthanide-centered luminescence quantum yields were 35% (Tb), 7.9% (Eu), 0.67% (Dy), and 0.18% (Sm). Antennae providing similar luminescence intensities with 2-4 Ln-emitters were identified. Photoredox quenching of the carbostyril antenna excited states was observed for all Eu(III)-complexes and should be sensitizing in the case of Yb(III); the scope of the process extends to Ln(III) for which it has not been seen previously, specifically Dy(III) and Sm(III). The proposed process is supported by photophysical and electrochemical data. A FRET-type mechanism was identified in architectures with both distant and close antennae for all of the Lns. This mechanism seems to be the only sensitizing one at long distance and probably contributes to the sensitization at shorter distances along with the triplet pathway. The complexes were nontoxic to either bacterial or mammalian cells. Complexes of an ester-functionalized ligand were taken up by bacteria in a concentration-dependent manner. Our results suggest that the effects of FRET and photoredox quenching should be taken into consideration when designing luminescent Ln complexes. These results also establish these Ln(III)-complexes for multiplex detection beyond the available two-color systems.

Abstract
The EuII/III redox couple offers metal-based oxidation-sensing with magnetic resonance imaging making the study of EuII oxidation chemistry important in the design of new probes. Accordingly, we explored oxidation reactions with a set of EuII -containing complexes. Superoxide formation from the reaction between EuII and dioxygen was observed using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additionally, oxidation kinetics of three EuII -containing complexes with bromate and glutathione disulfide at pH values, including 5 and 7, is reported. In the reaction with bromate, the oxidation rate of two of the complexes increased by 7.3 and 6.7 times upon decreasing pH from 7 to 5, but the rate increased by 17 times for a complex containing amide functional groups over the same pH range. The oxidation rate of a fluorobenzo-functionalized cryptate was relatively slow, indicating that the ligand used to impart thermodynamic oxidative stability might also be useful for controlling oxidation kinetics.

Abstract
Two new Eu(II)-containing cryptates were prepared with a new nitrogenous cryptand functionalized with three benzo groups. The introduction of three aromatic rings into the ligand backbone imparts lopsided geometrical features on the resulting Eu(II) coordination environments. In both complexes, the interactions between Eu and the amines on the aromatic side of the molecule are weaker than those on the nonaromatic side, resulting in one discrete unit with two distinct faces. One of the new complexes is, to the best of our knowledge, the first direct observation of a bis-aquo Eu(II)-containing cryptate with two nonadjacent inner-sphere water molecules. In addition to solid-phase structure, the electronic UV-visible and emission spectra of the new complexes were studied in acetonitrile. Experimental results show that the decreased Lewis basicity of the aromatic face hypsochromically shifts absorbances and emissions from a structurally related compound without the benzo groups.
