Abstract
Polymeric chain-structured complexes were prepared with helical lanthanide complexes (LnL; Ln=EuIII, TbIII, GdIII) and benzene-dicarboxylate derivatives (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (bdc), 2-aminoterephtalate (atpa) and 2-hydoloxyterephtalate (htpa)), which show some noteworthy physicochemical properties, photoluminescence and thermal stabilities. The complex EuL-bdc shows bright luminescence originating from EuIII by UV excitation. The emission color can be tuned by mixing with TbL. The structures of these chain complexes were clarified with synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction measurements. The derivation of the linker moiety (bdc, atpa or htpa) was found to affect the intermetal energy transfer from TbIII to EuIII.
