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