Synthesis of bright water-soluble circularly polarized luminescence emitters as potential sensors
We describe the synthesis of C 2 -symmetrical enantiopure lanthanide complexes (Tb, Eu, Sm, Dy) supported by the decadentate ligand N , N , N ′, N ′-tetrakis[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (tpadac). The chiral tpadac ligand was designed to protect the lanthanide center from co...

′-tetrakis[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (tpadac). The chiral tpadac ligand was designed to protect the lanthanide center from coordination of inner-sphere water molecules resulting in air- and water-stable, and highly luminescent complexes in water. The complexes exhibit strong chiroptical properties, with high dissymmetry factors

The lanthanide complexes obtained gave a reversible CPL response to pH ranging from 6.0 to 8.0. In addition, distinctive CPL responses (including a change in CPL sign) towards toxic cations (Pb

Complexes exhibiting strong circularly polarized luminescence in water were synthesized and used as CPL probes sensing pH and metal ions. |
