In this article, imaging applications of luminescent complexes and recent advances in the design and photophysical behaviour of near-IR responsive complexes are reviewed. Various properties of the luminescent lanthanide complexes are also discussed in detail. (86 references).


Synthesis and luminescence properties of lanthanide complexes incorporating a hydralazine-derived chromophore

Benjamin P. Burton-Pye, Sarah L. Heath and Stephen Faulkner; Dalton Trans., 2005, 146. DOI: 10.1039/b413005g

Reaction of 1-hydrazinophthalazine with chloroacetyl chloride yields 3-chloromethyl-1,2,4-triazolo-phthalazine. Reaction of this product with the tris tert-butyl ester of DO3A yields a triazolophthalazine appended macrocycle. Hydrolysis and complexation with lanthanide ions gives access to a series of lanthanide complexes (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb, Er); these are all luminescent and exhibit sensitisation of the lanthanide centre by the chromophore.

pH dependent self-association has been observed in a series of DO3A-derived lanthanide complexes bearing a carboxylate group that can act as a bridging ligand at high pH, switching on the luminescence from the lanthanide.
