Abstract

The incorporation of luminescent lanthanide complexes in solid matrices with controlled structural organizationis of widespread interest in materials science and has witnessed important improvements withthe development of low-temperature soft chemistry solution processes, such as sol-gel. In this review,after an introductory part concerning some relevant aspects of the electronic and coordination propertiesof lanthanides, the prominent issues related to the design and synthesis of efficient luminescent antennacomplexes, and their photophysical properties are presented. We describe the basic principles of ligandsdesign to yield systems featuring a coordination site for the metal cation with appended suitable chromophoresas sensitizers (two-component approach). When properly designed, these ligands are capableof forming highly luminescent complexes (overall sensitization yield, se > 0.05 in aqueous medium).
