Abstract
![]()
In this work, we investigated from a theoretical point
of view
the dynamics of the energy transfer process from the ligand to Eu(III)
ion for 12 isomeric species originating from six different complexes
differing by nature of the ligand and the total charge. The cationic
complexes present the general formula [Eu(L)(H2O)2]+ (where L = bpcd2– = N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N′-diacetate;
bQcd2– = N,N′-bis(2-quinolinmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N′-diacetate; and bisoQcd2– = N,N′-bis(2-isoquinolinmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N′-diacetate), while the neutral complexes present
the Eu(L)(H2O)2 formula (where L = PyC3A3– = N-picolyl-N,N′,N′-trans-1,2-cyclohexylenediaminetriacetate; QC3A3– = N-quinolyl-N,N′,N′-trans-1,2-cyclohexylenediaminetriacetate;
and isoQC3A3– = N-isoquinolyl-N,N′,N′-trans-1,2-cyclohexylenediaminetriacetate).
Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations provided
the energy of the ligand excited donor states, distances between donor
and acceptor orbitals involved in the energy transfer mechanism (RL), spin-orbit coupling matrix elements, and
excited-state reorganization energies. The intramolecular energy transfer
(IET) rates for both singlet-triplet intersystem crossing and ligand-to-metal
(and vice versa) involving a multitude of ligand and Eu(III) levels
and the theoretical overall quantum yields (ϕovl)
were calculated (the latter for the first time without the introduction
of experimental parameters). This was achieved using a blend of DFT,
Judd–Ofelt theory, IET theory, and rate equation modeling.
Thanks to this study, for each isomeric species, the most efficient
IET process feeding the Eu(III) excited state, its related physical
mechanism (exchange interaction), and the reasons for a better or
worse overall energy transfer efficiency (ηsens)
in the different complexes were determined. The spectroscopically
measured ϕovl values are in good agreement with the
ones obtained theoretically in this work. Photophysical properties of 12 Eu(III)
complexes with pyridine,
quinoline, and isoquinoline ligands in aqueous solutions were elucidated
and predicted through a theoretical protocol using a blend of DFT,
Judd−Ofelt theory, intramolecular energy transfer theory, and
coupled rate equation modeling calculations. The theoretical procedure
is general and can be extended to any lanthanide-based complexes.

Abstract
A high-luminescent, blue-light excitable europium(III) coordination complex, [Eu(µ2-OC2H5)(btfa)(NO3)(phen)]2phen (1) {btfa = benzoyl trifluoroacetone, phen = 1,10-phenantroline}, has been synthesized and investigated. The complex was characterized by infrared (IR) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL emission spectra of powder samples registered in a range of 10.7-300 K exhibit characteristic metal-centered luminescence bands, assigned to internal radiative transitions of the Eu3+ ion, 5D1→7Fj and 5D0→7Fj (j = 0-4). The high-resolution spectrum of the transition 5D0→7F0 shows that it consists of two narrow components, separated by 0.96 meV, which indicates the presence in the matrix of two different sites of the Eu3+ ion. The splitting pattern of 5D0→7Fj (j = 0-4) transitions indicates that europium ions are located in a low-symmetry environment. The absolute quantum yield and the sensitization efficiency were determined to be 49.2% and 89.3%, respectively. The complex can be excited with low-cost lasers at around 405 nm and is attractive for potential applications in optoelectronics and biochemistry.

Abstract
![]()
We report a macrocyclic
ligand (H3L6) based
on a 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane
platform containing three acetate pendant arms and a benzyl group
attached to the fourth nitrogen atom of the macrocycle. The X-ray
structures of the YL6 and TbL6 complexes reveal nine coordination
of the ligand to the metal ions through the six nitrogen atoms of
the macrocycle and three oxygen atoms of the carboxylate pendants.
A combination of NMR spectroscopic studies (1H, 13C, and 89Y) and DFT calculations indicated that the structure
of the YL6 complex in the solid
state is maintained in an aqueous solution. The detailed study of
the emission spectra of the EuL6 and TbL6 complexes revealed
Ln3+-centered emission with quantum yields of 7.0 and 60%,
respectively. Emission lifetime measurements indicate that the ligand
offers good protection of the metal ions from surrounding water molecules,
preventing the coordination of water molecules. The YL6 complex is remarkably inert with respect to complex dissociation,
with a lifetime of 1.7 h in 1 M HCl. On the other hand, complex formation
is fast (∼1 min at pH 5.4, 2 × 10–5 M).
Studies using the 90Y-nuclide confirmed fast radiolabeling
since [90Y]YL6 is
nearly quantitatively formed (radiochemical yield (RCY) > 95) in
a
short time over a broad range of pH values from ca. 2.4 to 9.0. Challenging
experiments in the presence of excess ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
(EDTA) and in human serum revealed good stability of the [90Y]YL6 complex. All of these
experiments combined suggest the potential application of H3L6 derivatives as Y-based radiopharmaceuticals. A new versatile asymmetric ligand based
on an 18-membered
macrocycle possessing three acetate pendant arms and a benzyl moiety
provides fast complexation with both natY(III) and 90Y(III), as well as slow dissociation kinetics. A detailed
structural study in the solid state and in solution evidences nona
coordination of the metal ion by the ligand, offering good protection
from solvent water molecules. These favorable properties make this
ligand an attractive candidate to develop yttrium-based radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A neutral Eu(iii) complex containing the S,S enantiomer of isoQC3A3- ligand (isoQC3A3- = N-isoquinolyl-N,N',N'-trans-l,2-cyclohexylenediaminetriacetate) was synthesized and characterized. The complex was spectroscopically investigated and the results compared with those obtained for the similar bis-anionic ligand bisoQcd2- (bisoQcd2- = N,N'-bis(2-isoquinolinmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N'-diacetate). Both Eu(iii)-complexes show similar binding constants upon titration with the main analytes contained in interstitial extracellular fluid (i.e. hydrogen carbonate, serum albumin and citrate). However, the analyte affinity is accompanied by different enhancements of the Eu(iii) intrinsic quantum yield (QY). Structures and hydration numbers of the complexes are determined by luminescence decay measurements and DFT calculations. The QYs as well as the binding constants of the individual adducts of the complexes with hydrogen carbonate, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and citrate are determined. The study of the Eu(iii) emission upon the systematic variation of one analyte in a complex mixture has been carried out to predict the performance of the luminescent sensor in conditions close to the real extracellular environment. Both Eu(iii) complexes can detect citrate at extracellular concentrations up to 500 μM, even at millimolar concentrations of the other interfering species. In the case of the Eu(bisoQcd)OTf complex, an increase of 23% of the Eu(iii) luminescence intensity at 615 nm upon addition of 0.3 mM of citrate was recorded. This feature makes the latter complex a viable probe for luminescence analysis of citrate in a complex matrix.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanide complexes have been actively studied as selective anion receptors for the past two decades. Ln(iii) complexes, particularly of europium(iii) and terbium(iii), offer unique photophysical properties that are very valuable for anion sensing in biological media, including long luminescence lifetimes (milliseconds) that enable time-gating methods to eliminate background autofluorescence from biomolecules, and line-like emission spectra that allow ratiometric measurements. By careful design of the organic ligand, stable Ln(iii) complexes can be devised for rapid and reversible anion binding, providing a luminescence response that is fast and sensitive, offering the high spatial resolution required for biological imaging applications. This review focuses on recent progress in the development of Ln(iii) receptors that exhibit sufficiently high anion selectivity to be utilised in biological or environmental sensing applications. We evaluate the mechanisms of anion binding and sensing, and the strategies employed to tune anion affinity and selectivity, through variations in the structure and geometry of the ligand. We highlight examples of luminescent Ln(iii) receptors that have been utilised to detect and quantify specific anions in biological media (e.g. human serum), monitor enzyme reactions in real-time, and visualise target anions with high sensitivity in living cells.

The cationic enantiopure
(R,R) and luminescent Eu(III) complex [Eu(bisoQcd)(H2O)2] OTf (with bisoQcd = N,N′-bis(2-isoquinolinmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N′-diacetate and OTf = triflate) was synthesized
and characterized. At physiological pH, the 1:1 [Eu(bisoQcd)(H2O)2]+ species, possessing
two water molecules in the inner coordination sphere, is largely dominant.
The interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by means
of several experimental techniques, such as luminescence spectroscopy,
isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking (MD), and
molecular dynamics simulations (MDS). In this direction, a ligand
competition study was also performed by using three clinically established
drugs (i.e., ibuprofen, warfarin, and digitoxin). The nature of this
interaction is strongly affected by the type of the involved heteroaromatic
antenna in the Eu(III) complexes. In fact, the presence of isoquinoline rings drives the corresponding complex toward
the protein superficial area containing the tryptophan residue 134
(Trp134). As the main consequence, the metal center undergoes the
loss of one water molecule upon interaction with the side chain of
a glutamic acid residue. On the other hand, the similar complex containing
pyridine rings ([Eu(bpcd)(H2O)2]Cl with bpcd
= N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane N,N′-diacetate) interacts more weakly with the protein
in a different superficial cavity, without losing the coordinated
water molecules. The effect
of the antenna moiety on the interaction of two new luminescent Eu(III)
complexes with BSA was studied. Results show that the complexes can
be conveniently exploited as optical probes for albumin serum proteins
by means of opposite mechanisms (switch-on−off of the luminescent
signal).

Each enantiopure
europium(III) and samarium(III) nitrate and triflate
complex of the ligand L, with L = N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethylidene)-1,2-(R,R + S,S)-cyclohexanediamine ([LnL(tta)2]·NO3 and [LnL(tta)2(H2O)]·CF3SO3, where tta = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetylacetonate)
has been synthesized and characterized from a spectroscopic point
of view, using a chiroptical technique such as electronic circular
dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). In all
cases, both ligands are capable of sensitizing the luminescence of
both metal ions upon absorption of light around 280 and 350 nm. Despite
small differences in the total luminescence (TL) and ECD spectra,
the CPL activity of the complexes is strongly influenced by a concurrent
effect of the solvent and counterion. This particularly applies to
europium(III) complexes where the CPL spectra in acetonitrile can
be described as a weighed linear combination of the CPL spectra in
dichloromethane and methanol, which show nearly opposite signatures
when their ligand stereochemistries are the same. This phenomenon
could be related to the presence of equilibria interconverting solvated,
anion-coordinated complexes and isomers differing by the relative
orientation of the tta ligands. The difference between some bond lengths
(M–N bonds, in particular) in the different species could be
at the basis of such an unusual CPL activity. Triflate ([EuL(tta)2(H2O)]·CF3SO3) and nitrate ([EuL(tta)2]·NO3) complexes, with L = N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethylidene)-1,2-(R,R or S,S)-cyclohexanediamine, where tta = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetylacetonate,
show nearly opposite circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signatures
when dissolved in dichloromethane (DCM) or methanol (MeOH), even though
their ligand stereochemistries remain unchanged. The presence (in
DCM) and absence (in MeOH) of the counterion in the inner coordination
sphere determine a strong change of the CPL activity of the relative
europium(III) complex.

Abstract
We report a facile and effective luminescence method for the determination of the WO4 2- ion in aqueous medium at initial pH = 6.3. This is achieved using 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid-capped CaF2:Tb3+ (5%) nanocrystals (NCs) as a luminescent probe. This is accomplished based on the energy transfer luminescence from the WO4 2- ion to the Tb3+ ion in small-size CaF2:Tb3+ NCs. Hydroxyl groups on the surface ligand helps in binding the tungstate ion to the surface of the NCs. With the gradual addition of the WO4 2- ion, the intensity of the Tb3+ excitation and emission spectra significantly increased. The linear range of the detection was from 1 to 10 μM for the WO4 2- ion (R 2 = 0.99). The calculated detection limit was 0.4 μM (by applying the 3σ/K criterion).
