Abstract
In this work, we report the preparation of functional interfaces incorporating heterobimetallic systems consisting in the association of an electroactive carbon-rich ruthenium organometallic unit and a luminescent lanthanide ion (Ln = Eu3+ and Yb3+). The organometallic systems are functionalized with a terminal hexylthiol group for subsequent gold surface modification. The formation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with these complex molecular architectures are thoroughly demonstrated by employing a combination of different techniques, including infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, ellipsometry, contact angle, and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The immobilized heterobimetallic systems show fast electron-transfer kinetics and, hence, are capable of fast electrochemical response. In addition, the characteristic electrochemical signals of the SAMs were found to be sensitive to the presence of lanthanide centers at the bipyridyl terminal units. A positive shift of the potential of the redox signal is readily observed for lanthanide complexes compared to the bare organometallic ligand. This effect is equally observed for preformed complexes and on-surface complexation. Thus, an efficient ligating recruitment of europium and ytterbium cations at gold-modified electrodes is demonstrated, allowing for an easy electrochemical detection of the lanthanide ions along with an alternative preparative method of SAMs incorporating lanthanide cations compared to the immobilization of the preformed complex.

Abstract
Lanthanide (Ln) based luminescent materials are experiencing an increasing interest in their applications in several fields. In this study, we report a series of new lanthanide-oligomeric brush films, supported on quartz substrates and prepared using a layer-by-layer method (LbL). Oligomeric brush films are composed of small oligomers from our previously reported coordination polymers [x-EuL] and [x-TbL] (with x = 1, 3, and 5 generations of Ln complexes), which are grown perpendicularly from a carboxylate self-assembled monolayer. Oligomers composed of our previously described helical lanthanide complex LnL (Ln: Eu and Tb) as a luminescent moiety and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate acid (bdc) used as a linker. Mixed films having the fifth-generation Ln complexes composed of equimolar mixture of Eu and Tb ions were prepared. Oligomeric brush films are highly transparent and exhibited a colored emission under UV irradiation. Pure Ln (Eu or Tb) films showed a strong luminescence from the Ln ions. Their luminescent properties depended on the number of lanthanide layers in the films composed of the first to third generations of lanthanide complexes. Then, the increase of the complex layers induced no difference in the luminescent properties. An energy transfer from Tb to Eu ions in the mixed films indicated a short distance between lanthanide ions of a fifth layer. The structural analysis together with the observed luminescent properties and some previous studies allowed to clarify the disposition of the oligomers in the films.

Abstract
The lanthanide directed self-assembly of chiral amphiphilic 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid based ligands 1 and 2 with various Ln(CF3SO3)3 (Ln = TbIII, SmIII, LuIII, DyIII) salts was studied in CH3CN and evaluated with the expected 1 : 3 and 1 : 1 Ln : Ligand species forming in solution. Ligand chirality was retained and transferred, as depicted by circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) measurements (for TbIII and SmIII), to the lanthanide centre upon complexation with high dissymmetry factor values for the SmIII complexes obtained (glum = -0.44 and 0.29 and 0.45 and -0.23 for the 4G5/2→6H5/2 and the 4G5/2→6H7/2 transitions of Sm·13 and Sm·23, respectively). The ability of the complexes to form stable Langmuir monolayers at the air-water interface was also established while Langmuir-Blodgett films of Tb·L3 and Sm·L3 exhibited lanthanide luminescent emission.

Abstract
Kinetically inert lanthanide complexes are proving to be highly effective building blocks for the preparation of complex heterometallic architectures, allowing complete control of metal ion domains, which cannot be achieved under thermodynamic control. Kinetic stability may render perceivable labile coordination bonds more durable than several types of covalent interactions. For complexes in clinical use, the significance of kinetic stability cannot be overstated, and this Account treats the topic accordingly. Kinetically inert complexes can be used as building blocks for elaborate synthesis. For instance, it is now possible to prepare heterometallic lanthanide complexes containing two or more different lanthanide ions by linking kinetically robust complexes together. This approach can yield bimetallic (f-f' or d-f) and trimetallic (f-f'-f″) lanthanide complexes. In this Account, we describe our studies exploiting the slow dissociation of lanthanide complexes derived from 1,4,7,10-tetraazadodecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) related ligands to link complexes together through synthetic manipulation of pendent groups on the ligand skeleton or through coordination of bridging donor groups to a d-block metal center. In the course of this work, we have developed a variety of such methods, ranging from peptide coupling and diazotization to Ugi and click chemistry and have also explored the use of alternative strategies that combine orthogonal protecting group chemistry with sequential complexation of different lanthanide ions or that use self-assembly to deliver well-defined multimetallic systems. These well-defined bimetallic systems also have considerable scope for exploitation. Since the earliest studies, it has been clear that there is potential for application in the burgeoning field of molecular imaging. Heterometallic lanthanide complexes can be used as single-molecule bimodal imaging agents through incorporation of MRI active and luminescent components. Alternatively, conventional luminescence methods can be exploited in conjunction with lanthanide luminescence. In the simplest cases, a single lanthanide can be used to achieve a switchable response in combination with a transition metal complex. Bimetallic f-f' complexes allow the full potential of the approach to be realized in systems in which one lanthanide responds to changes in the concentration of an analyte, while a second lanthanide center can be used to define the concentration of the probe itself. This offers a new solution to the old dichotomy of ratiometric imaging that can potentially be applied widely.

Abstract
Herein we describe the first example of a ratiometric lanthanide luminescent oxygen sensing interface. Immobilisation of terbium and europium cyclen complexes on glass substrates was achieved by a novel aryl nitrene photografting approach. The resulting interfaces demonstrated a ratiometric oxygen response between 0 and 0.2 atm partial oxygen pressure.

Abstract
Self-assembly of a range of carboxylic acids (benzoic acid, dinicotinic acid, nicotinic acid, and isophthalic acid) with the europium complex of 5-nitro-α,α'-bis(DO3Ayl)-m-xylene (where DO3A is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid) has been explored to establish the thermodynamics of binding in a range of solvent systems and in a range of aqueous buffer solutions. In this system, profound effects are observed as a consequence of competition by the hydroxide ion, which outcompetes even dinicotinate at high pH. In the case of isophthalate, which binds most strongly, and dinicotinate, both enthalpic and entropic contributions to binding have been identified. The europium complex with 5-nitro-α,α'-bis(DO3Ayl)-m-xylene is found to have a solution structure significantly different from the related europium complex of 5-amino-α,α'-bis(DO3Ayl)-m-xylene. It is found that phosphate binds strongly to the europium complex of the nitro derivate but not to the europium complex of amino derivative. Lactate, citrate, and pyruvate also bind strongly to 5-nitro-α,α'-bis(Eu⋅DO3Ayl)-m-xylene, and it is concluded that the solution structure of this binuclear lanthanide complex is significantly different from that of the amino-substituted complex.

Abstract
Herein we demonstrate redox switchable emission from a sensitised, europium-ferrocene containing, molecular film assembled by a novel nitrene-based strategy. Electrochemical modulation of europium emission upon switching the ferrocene moiety's redox state is ascribed to the reversible generation of a quenching ferrocenium species.

Abstract
This review addresses luminescent rare earth compounds assembled in microcapsules as well as in planar films fabricated by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method and in self-assembled monolayers. Chemical precipitation, electrostatic, van der Waals interactions and covalent bonds are involved in the assembly of these compounds. Self-organized ring patterns of rare earth complexes in Langmuir monolayers and on planar surfaces with stripe patterns, as well as fluorescence enhancement due to donor-acceptor pairs, microcavities, enrichment of rare earth compounds, and shell protection against water are described. Recent information on the tuning of luminescence intensity and multicolors by the excitation wavelength and the ratio of rare earth ions, respectively, are also reviewed. Potential applications of luminescent rare earth complex assemblies serving as biological probes, temperature and gas sensors are pointed out.

Abstract
A study of the anion-binding properties of three structurally related lanthanide complexes, which all contain chemically identical anion-binding motifs, has revealed dramatic differences in their anion affinity. These arise as a consequence of changes in the substitution pattern on the periphery of the molecule, at a substantial distance from the binding pocket. Herein, we explore these remote substituent effects and explain the observed behaviour through discussion of the way in which remote substituents can influence and control the global structure of a molecule through their demands upon conformational space. Peripheral modifications to a binuclear lanthanide motif derived from α,α'-bis(DO3 Ayl)-m-xylene are shown to result in dramatic changes to the binding constant for isophthalate. In this system, the parent compound displays considerable conformational flexibility, yet can be assumed to bind to isophthalate through a well-defined conformer. Addition of steric bulk remote from the binding site restricts conformational mobility, giving rise to an increase in binding constant on entropic grounds as long as the ideal binding conformation is not excluded from the available range of conformers.

Abstract
The incorporation of chiral amphiphilic lanthanide-directed self-assembled Nd(III) complexes (Nd.13 and Nd.23) into stable Langmuir monolayers, and the subsequent Langmuir-Blodgett film formation of these, is described. The photophysical properties of the enantiomeric pair of ligands 1 and 2 in the presence of Nd(CF3SO3)3 were also investigated in CH3CN solutions using UV-vis, fluorescence, and lanthanide luminescence spectroscopies. Analysis of the resulting self-assembly processes revealed that two main species were formed in solution,1:1 and 1:3 Nd:L self-assembly complexes, with the latter being the dominant species upon the addition of 0.33 equivalents of Nd(III). Excited state lifetime measurements of Nd.13 and Nd.23 in CH3OH and CD3OD and CH3CN were also evaluated. The formation of the self-assembly in solution was also monitored by observing the changes in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra; and large differences were observed between the 1:3 and other stoichiometries in the spectra, allowing for correlation to be made with that seen in the emission studies of these systems. Surface pressure-area and surface pressure-time isotherms evidenced the formation of stable Langmuir monolayers of Nd.13 and Nd.23 at an air-water interface, and the deposition of these monolayers onto a quartz solid substrate (Langmuir-Blodgett films) gave rise to immobilized chiral monomolecular films which exhibited Nd(III) NIR luminescence upon excitation of the ligand chromophore, demonstrating efficient energy transfer to the Nd(III) excided state (sensitized) with concomitant emission centered at 800 and 1334 nm.
