Abstract
Optical information storage requires careful control of excitation and emission wavelengths in a reversible and orthogonal manner to enable efficient reading, writing, and erasing of information. Photochromic systems, in which a photoswitch is typcially coupled to an emissive organic fluorophore, have much promise in this regard. However, these suffer from considerable spectral overlap between the switch and fluorophore, such that their emissive and photoswitchable properties are not orthogonal. Here, we overcome this limitation by coupling visible/NIR emissive lanthanide complexes with molecular photoswitches, enabling reversible and orthogonal photoswitching with visible light. Crucially, photoswitching does not lead to sensitised emission from the lanthanide, while excitation of the lanthanide does not induce photoswitching, enabling the state of the system to be probed without perturbation of the switch. This opens up the possibility of developing multi-colour read-write methods for information storage using emissive photoswitches.

Abstract
Developing smart materials capable of solid-state multicolor photoluminescence (PL) switching in response to multistimuli is highly desirable for advanced anticounterfeiting. Here, a ternary MOF hybrid showing hydro-photo-thermo-responsive multicolor PL switching in the solid state is presented. This hybrid is constructed by co-immobilizing Eu3+ and methyl viologen (MV) cations within an anionic MOF via the cation-exchange approach. The confined guest cations are well arranged in the framework channels, facilitating the synergistic realization of stimuli-responsive multiple PL color-switching through intermolecular coupling. The hybrid undergoes a rapid and reversible PL color-switching from red to blue upon water simulation, which is achieved by activating the blue emission of the framework linker while simultaneously quenching the Eu3+ emission. Furthermore, the hybrid displays photo-thermo-responsive PL switching from red to dark. UV-light irradiation or heating triggers the chromic conversion of MV to its colored radical form, which exhibits perfect spectral overlap with Eu3+, thus activating Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from Eu3+ to MV radicals and quenching the Eu3+ emission. Inspired by these results, PL morse patterns are designed and fabricated using a novel triple-level encryption strategy, showcasing the exciting potential of this hybrid in advanced anticounterfeiting applications.

Abstract
The Tb(III) ion has the most intense luminescence of the trivalent lanthanide(III) ions. In contrast to Eu(III), where the two levels only include a single state, the high number of electronic states in the ground (7F6) and emitting (5D4) levels makes detailed interpretations of the electronic structure-the crystal field-difficult. Here, luminescence emission and excitation spectra of Tb(III) complexes with 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA, [Tb(DOTA)(H2O)]-), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, [Tb(EDTA)(H2O)3]-) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA, [Tb(DTPA)(H2O)]2-) as well as the Tb(III) aqua ion ([Tb(H2O)9]3+) were recorded at room temperature and in frozen solution. Using these data the electronic structure of the 5D4 multiplets of Tb(III) was mapped by considering the transitions to the singly degenerate 7F0 state. A detailed spectroscopic investigation was performed and it was found that the 5D4 multiplet could accurately be described as a single band for [Tb(H2O)9]3+, [Tb(DOTA)(H2O)]- and [Tb(EDTA)(H2O)3]-. In contrast, for [Tb(DTPA)(H2O)]2- two bands were needed. These results demonstrated the ability of describing the electronic structure of the emitting 5D4 multiplet using emission spectra. This offers an avenue for investigating the relationship between molecular structure and luminescent properties in detailed photophysical studies of Tb(III) ion complexes.

Abstract
Lanthanide-containing nanomaterials have gained significant popularity for their utilization in polymeric networks, enabling the creation of luminescent nanocomposites for advanced applications. In this study, we developed a new type of lanthanide-containing nanocomposite hydrogels by incorporating terbium-containing laponite (Tb3+@Lap) into the networks of polyethyleneimine-modified gelatin/polydextran aldehyde (PG/PDA) through dynamic bonds. The structures and properties of the Tb3+@Lap-containing nanocomposite double-network (ncDN) hydrogels were comprehensively investigated in comparison with the DN hydrogels with a pure polymeric network and the Lap-containing ncDN hydrogels. The PG/PDA/Tb3+@Lap ncDN hydrogels with multiple dynamic bonds (i.e., imine bonds, coordination bonds, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions) exhibited remarkable characteristics of shear-thinning and self-healing, making them suitable for the construction of hydrogel scaffolds on a macroscale using fabrication techniques such as electrospinning and 3D printing. Moreover, the PG/PDA/Tb3+@Lap ncDN hydrogels have been demonstrated to act as sensitive and selective luminescent sensors for detecting copper ions. Taken together, a versatile lanthanide-containing ncDN hydrogel platform capable of dynamic features is developed for processing and sensing applications.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POM), as inorganic polydentate oxygen donors, provide binding opportunities for oxophilic lanthanide metal centers to construct novel Ln-substituted POM materials with exciting structures and attractive properties. Herein, we have reported four arsenotungstate [α-AsW9O33]9- based lanthanide-containing polyoxometalates [CsxK36-x{Ln6(H2O)12(α-AsW9O33)6}]·yH2O (Ln = Er (1), Gd (2), Ho (3), and Tb (4)), which are synthesized in an alkaline medium. Complexes 1-3 are the dimeric structures of [Ln3(H2O)6(α-AsW9O33)3]18- polyanions, whereas complex 4 is a hexamer of the polyanion [Tb (H2O)2(α-AsW9O33)]6- as a building unit. In all the complexes, [α-AsW9O33]9- units are staggered up and down and give rise to the chair conformation, where one [α-AsW9O33]9- unit bridges two Ln(III) centers through four μ2-oxygen and two terminal oxygen atoms, resulting in the hexagonal arrangement of lanthanides. The dynamic magnetic measurement indicates that only complex 1 exhibits slow relaxation of magnetization with an applied dc field (1500 Oe). To gain insight into the slow relaxation of magnetization in complex 1, the ligand-field parameters and the splitting of the ground-state multiplet of the Er(III) ions have been estimated. The ab initio calculation results confirm that the ground state wave function of these molecules (1, 3, and 4) is mainly composed of a mixture of mJ states, and the non-axial crystal field (CF) terms are more predominant than the axial CF term. The solid-state fluorescence spectra of 1-4 reveal that the photoexcitation O → M ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) of arsenotungstate fragments is effectively quenched due to the spatial coordination environment around the Ln(III) ion.

Abstract
Whereas dye-sensitized lanthanide-doped nanoparticles represent an unquestionable advance for pushing linear near-infrared (NIR) to visible-light upconversion within the frame of applications, analogous improvements are difficult to mimic for related but intramolecular processes induced at the molecular level in coordination complexes. Major difficulties arise from the cationic nature of the target cyanine-containing sensitizers (S), which drastically limits their thermodynamic affinities for catching the lanthanide activators (A) required for performing linear light upconversion. In this context, the rare previous design of stable dye-containing molecular SA light-upconverters required large S···A distances at the cost of the operation of only poorly efficient intramolecular S → A energy transfers and global sensitization. With the synthesis of the compact ligand [L2]+, we exploit here the benefit of using a single sulfur connector between the dye and the binding unit for counterbalancing the drastic electrostatic penalty which is expected to prevent metal complexation. Quantitative amounts of nine-coordinate [L2Er(hfac)3]+ molecular adducts could be finally prepared in solution at millimolar concentrations, while the S···A distance has been reduced by 40% to reach circa 0.7 nm. Detailed photophysical studies demonstrate the operation of a three times improved energy transfer upconversion (ETU) mechanism for molecular [L2Er(hfac)3]+ in acetonitrile at room temperature, thanks to the boosted heavy atom effect operating in the close cyanine/Er pair. NIR excitation at 801 nm can thus be upconverted into visible light (525-545 nm) with an unprecedented brightness of Bup(801 nm) = 2.0(1) × 10-3 M-1·cm-1 for a molecular lanthanide complex.

Abstract
The photophysics of a europium(III) complex of 1,4,7,10-tetraazacycododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid-10-(2-methylene)-1-azathioxanthone was investigated in three buffer systems and at three pH values. The buffers-phosphate buffered saline (PBS), 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), and universal buffer (UB)-had no effect on the europium luminescence, but a lower overall emission intensity was determined in HEPES. It was found that this was due to quenching of the 1-azathioxanthone first excited singlet state by HEPES. The effect of pH on the photophysics of the complex was found to be minimal, and protonation of the pyridine nitrogen was found to be irrelevant. Even so, pH was shown to change the intensity ratio between 1-azathioxanthone fluorescence and europium luminescence. It was concluded that the full photophysics of a potential molecular probe should be investigated to achieve the best possible results in any application.

Abstract
Lanthanide luminescence contains detailed chemical information and can be used to report on several chemical analytes. This has been exploited through elaborate synthesis of responsive lanthanide complexes. Here, we report on a less elaborate approach and assemble four different nanooptodes. Europium(III) is used to sense the bicarbonate concentration. The signal from the optode was enhanced 100 times using antenna chromophore and the response was modulated by the addition of lipophilic cations.

Abstract
Nowadays, luminescent materials attract wide attention due to their valuable characteristics and broad area of potential application. Luminescent silicone-based polymers possess unique properties, such as flexibility, hydrophobicity, thermal and chemical stabilities, etc., which allow them to be utilized in various fields, such as optoelectronics, solid-state lasers, luminescent solar concentrators, sensors, and others. In the present work, a metal-ligand interaction approach was applied to obtain new cross-linked luminescent polymers based on multiligand polysiloxanes with grafted β-diketone fragments and organoeuropiumsiloxanes containing various organic substituents. Organoeuropiumsiloxanes were utilized as a source of Eu3+ ions due to their compatibility with the silicon matrix. All synthesized polymers were fully characterized and their physicochemical, mechanical, self-healing, optical, and thermal properties were studied.

Abstract
Four series of lanthanide-based coordination polymers (LnCPs), namely [Ln(Br4bdc)1.5(MeOH)3] (1Ln; Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy), [Ln2(Br4bdc)2(NO3)2(MeOH)4] (2Ln; Ln = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm), [Ln(Br4bdc)(NO3)(MeOH)] (3Ln; Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy), and [Ln2(Br4bdc)3(H2O)2.3(MeOH)2.7] (4Ln; Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy) have been synthesized by reacting hydrated lanthanide(III) salts with tetrabromobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2Br4bdc) in different solvents under solvothermal conditions. The structural diversity found in the system mainly resulted from the effects of anions, solvents, and the variation in the ionic radii of the lanthanide(III) ions. Compounds in series 1Ln feature a two-dimensional (2D) layered structure with sql topology based on {(Ln(COO)2)2(μ-COO)2} secondary building units (SBUs). Compounds in series 2Ln and 3Ln comprise, respectively, infinite uniform and alternate chains of {Ln(COO)2}n SBUs that are assembled into a similar network topology to 1Ln. Meanwhile, compounds in series 4Ln feature 3D coordination networks of a pcu α-Po topological net consisting of binuclear {Ln2(COO)3} SBUs. The formation of polymeric networks in series 1Ln-4Ln is facilitated by the numerous coordination sites of the ligand Br4bdc2- and the fact that its bromine atoms can participate in the formation of various types of intermolecular interactions. The solid-state photoluminescence studies on Eu- (1Eu) and Tb- (1Tb, 3Tb, 4Tb) containing compounds indicate that the Br4bdc2- ligands can efficiently sensitize Eu3+ and Tb3+ emission. Notably, such compounds exhibit highly sensitive fluorescence sensing for acetone, water, and Fe3+ ions via the fluorescence quenching effect. As the representatives of the series, activated 1Eu, 2Pr, 3Tb, and 4Tb show the maximum CO2 uptake capacities of 170.4, 273.7, 255.3, and 303.5 cm3 g-1, respectively, at 50 bar and 298 K with good repeatability of the adsorption-desorption properties. Magnetic studies indicate that the Gd- and Dy-based compounds 1Gd, 1Dy, 3Gd, 3Dy, and 4Gd show simple paramagnetic behaviours, whereas compound 4Dy exhibits weak ferromagnetic interactions.

Abstract
The multistep synthesis of original antennas incorporating substituted [2.2]paracyclophane (pCp) moieties in the π-conjugated skeleton is described. These antennas, functionalized with an electron donor alkoxy fragment (A1) or with a fused coumarin derivative (A2), are incorporated in a triazacyclonane macrocyclic ligand L1 or L2, respectively, for the design of Eu(III), Yb(III), and Gd(III) complexes. A combined photophysical/theoretical study reveals that A1 presents a charge transfer character via through-space paracyclophane conjugation, whereas A2 presents only local excited states centered on the coumarin-paracyclophane moiety, strongly favoring triplet state population via intersystem crossing. The resulting complexes EuL1 and YbL2 are fully emissive in red and near-infrared, respectively, whereas the GdL2 complex acts as a photosensitizer for the generation of singlet oxygen.

Abstract
Five isostructural 1D porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with a general formula of {[M(L)(DMF)(H2O)]·1.5H2O}n [M = TbIII (1), EuIII (2), YbIII (3), NdIII (4) and ErIII (5)] have been synthesized using a flexible tripodal organic linker (L) and characterized. TbIII (1) and EuIII (2) PCPs exhibit metal-based green and red emission, respectively, whereas YbIII (3), NdIII (4) and ErIII (5) PCPs show near-infrared (NIR) emission. Doping EuIII in 1 in a precisely controlled stoichiometric amount leads to different mixed lanthanide PCPs, {[Tb1-xEux(L)(DMF)(H2O)]·1.5H2O}n (1a-1f) that show tunable emission including that of bright white light. The PCPs decorated with Lewis basic -O- binding sites make them potential candidates for the binding and selective sensing of traces of CuII ions, and this is illustrated for PCP 2 (limit of detection = 0.69 ± 0.02 ppm). The photoluminescence of 2 can be recovered by the introduction of a chelating ligand ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) without any structural disintegration, indicating the potential of the lanthanide PCPs for future sensing applications.

Abstract
A new mechanism for enhanced intersystem crossing in coupled three-spin systems consisting of a chromophore and an attached radical is proposed. It is shown that if the unpaired electron of the radical experiences spin-orbit coupling and different exchange interactions with the two unpaired electron spins of the chromophore, energy transfer from the chromophore to the radical can occur together with singlet-triplet intersystem crossing in the chromophore. The efficiency of this process increases dramatically when the electronic excitation of the radical is resonant with the S1-T1 energy gap of the chromophore. The types of systems in which this resonance could be achieved are discussed, and it is suggested that the mechanism could result in improved sensitization in near-IR emitting lanthanide dyes.

Abstract
Recently, we pioneered the application of Cherenkov radiation (CR) of radionuclides for the in situ excitation of discrete Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes. CR is produced by isotopes decaying under emission of charged particles in dielectric media and exhibits a maximum intensity below 400 nm. We have demonstrated that luminescent lanthanide antenna complexes are ideal acceptors for Cherenkov radiation-mediated energy transfer (CRET). Here, we develop and assess peptide-functionalized Tb(III) and Eu(III) complexes in conjunction with CRET excitation by the positron emissive radioisotope 18F for simultaneous, multiplexed imaging and in vivo optical imaging. This work demonstrates, for the first time, that the detection of the luminescence emission of a discrete Eu(III) complex in vivo is feasible. Our results open possibilities for discrete luminescent lanthanide complexes to be used as diagnostic, optical tools for the intrasurgical guidance of tumor resection.

Abstract
An ideal chelator for f-elements features rapid kinetics of complexation, high thermodynamic stability, and slow kinetics of dissociation. Here we present the facile synthesis of a macrocyclic ligand bearing four 1-hydroxy-2-pyridinone units linked to a cyclen scaffold that rapidly forms thermodynamically stable complexes with lanthanides (Sm3+ , Eu3+ , Tb3+ , Dy3+ ) and a representative late actinide (Cm3+ ) in aqueous media and concurrently sensitizes them. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy revealed an increase in the Ln/An-O bond lengths following the trend Cm>Eu>Tb and EXAFS data were compatible with time-resolved luminescence studies, which indicated one to two water molecules in the inner metal coordination sphere of Eu(III) and two water molecules for the Cm(III) complex. Spectrofluorimetric ligand competition titrations against DTPA confirmed the high thermodynamic stability of DOTHOPO complexes, with pM values between 19.9(1) and 21.9(2).

Abstract
Europium (III) luminescent chelates possess intrinsic photophysical properties that are extremely useful in a wide range of applications. The lack of examples of coumarin-based lanthanide complexes is mainly due to poor photo-sensitization attempts. However, with the appeal of using such a versatile scaffold as antenna, especially in the development of responsive molecular probes, it is worth the effort to research new structural motifs. In this work, we present a series of two new tris coumarin-dipicolinate europium (III) complexes, specifically tailored to be either a mono or a dual emitter, tuning their properties with a simple chemical modification. We also encountered a rich chemical speciation in solution, studied in detail by means of paramagnetic NMR and emission spectroscopy.

Abstract
Increasing demand for detecting single molecules in challenging environments has raised the bar for the fluorophores used. To achieve better resolution and/or contrast in fluorescence microscopy, it is now essential to use bright and stable dyes with tailored photophysical properties. While long fluorescence lifetime fluorophores offer many advantages in time-resolved imaging, their inherently lower molar absorption coefficient has limited applications in single molecule imaging. Here we propose a generic approach to prepare bright, long fluorescence lifetime dyad fluorophores comprising an absorbing antenna chromophore with high absorption coefficient linked to an acceptor emitter with a long fluorescence lifetime. We introduce a dyad consisting of a perylene antenna and a triangulenium emitter with 100% energy transfer from donor to acceptor. The dyad retained the long fluorescence lifetime (∼17 ns) and high quantum yield (75%) of the triangulenium emitter, while the perylene antenna increased the molar absorption coefficient (up to 5 times) in comparison to the free triangulenium dye. These triangulenium based dyads with significantly improved brightness can now be detected at the single molecule level and easily discriminated from bright autofluorescence by time-gated and other lifetime-based detection schemes.

Abstract
Seven-coordinate, pentagonal-bipyramidal (PBP) complexes [Ln(bbpen)Cl] and [Ln(bbppn)Cl], in which Ln = Tb3+ (products I and II), Eu3+ (III and IV), and Gd3+ (V and VI), with bbpen2- = N,N'-bis(2-oxidobenzyl)-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethylenediamine and bbppn2- = N,N'-bis(2-oxidobenzyl)-N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1,2-propanediamine, were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, alternating-current magnetic susceptibility measurements, and photoluminescence (steady-state and time-resolved) spectroscopy. Under a static magnetic field of 0.1 T, the Tb3+ complexes I and II revealed single-ion-magnet behavior. Also, upon excitation at 320 nm at 300 K, I and II presented very high absolute emission quantum yields (0.90 ± 0.09 and 0.92 ± 0.09, respectively), while the corresponding Eu3+ complexes III and IV showed no photoluminescence. Detailed theoretical calculations on the intramolecular energy-transfer rates for the Tb3+ products indicated that both singlet and triplet ligand excited states contribute efficiently to the overall emission performance. The expressive quantum yields, QLnL, measured for I and II in the solid state and a dichloromethane solution depend on the excitation wavelength, being higher at 320 nm. Such a dependence was rationalized by computing the intersystem crossing rates (WISC) and singlet fluorescence lifetimes (τS) related to the population dynamics of the S1 and T1 levels. Thin films of product II showed high air stability and photostability upon continuous UV illumination, which allowed their use as downshifting layers in a green light-emitting device (LED). The prototypes presented a luminous efficacy comparable with those found in commercial LED coatings, without requiring encapsulation or dispersion of II in host matrixes. The results indicate that the PBP environment determined by the ethylenediamine (en)-based ligands investigated in this work favors the outstanding optical properties in Tb3+ complexes. This work presents a comprehensive structural, chemical, and spectroscopic characterization of two Tb3+ complexes of mixed-donor, en-based ligands, focusing on their outstanding optical properties. They constitute good molecular examples in which both triplet and singlet excited states provide energy to the Tb3+ ion and lead to high values of QLnL.

Abstract
A series of mononuclear lanthanide complexes [Ln(L1)(NO3)3], (Ln = Dy(III), 1; Tb(III), 3; and Eu(III), 4; L1 = (N1E,N2E)-N1,N2-bis((1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methylene)cyclohexane-1,2-diamine) is obtained by reacting N-methylbenzimidazole-2-carbaldehyde (L2) and 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (L3) with Ln(NO3)3·6H2O under solvothermal conditions. L1 ligand is produced via an in situ Schiff base reaction of two molecules of L2 and one molecule of L3. The metal center Ln(III) is in a N4O6 environment formed by L1 and NO3-. NaSCN is added on the basis of 1 synthesis. One SCN- replaces one of the three coordinated NO3- anions in the 1 structure, and the complex [Dy(L1)(NO3)2(SCN)]·CH3CN (2) is synthesized. The complex 1 shows excellent luminescence response to petroleum ether (PET), an organic solvent. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to use a complex for sensing responses to PET. When the metal center is changed, the obtained mononuclear complexes 3 and 4 show an excellent luminescence response to tetrahydrofuran (THF). Lastly, 2 obtained by changing the coordinating anion shows an excellent luminescence response to dichloromethane. Herein, for the first time, we regulate the metal center and coordinating anion of lanthanide complexes to adjust the recognition and response of these complexes to different organic solvents.

Abstract
Bright lanthanide based probes for optical bioimaging must rely on the antenna principle, where the lanthanide-centred excited state is formed by a complex sensitization process. Efficient sensitization of lanthanide-centred emission occurs via triplet states centred on the sensitizing chromophore. Here, the triplet state of thioxanthone chromophores is modulated by extending the π-system. Three thioxanthone chromophores-thioxanthone, benzo[c]thioxanthone, and naphtho[2,3-c]thioxanthone were synthesised and characterised. The triplet state energies and lifetimes is found to change as expected, and two dyes are found to be suitable sensitizers for europium(iii) luminescence. Reactive derivatives of thioxanthone and benzo[c]thioxanthone were prepared and coupled to a 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (DO3A) lanthanide binding pocket. The photophysics and the performance in optical bioimaging of the resulting europium(iii) complexes were investigated. It is concluded that while the energetics favour efficient sensitization, the solution structure does not. While it was found that the complexes are too lipophilic to be efficient luminescent probes for optical bioimaging, we successfully demonstrated bioimaging using europium(iii) luminescence following 405 nm excitation.

Abstract
Luminescent lanthanides provide a promising alternative to organic chromophores for cellular bioimaging and bioassay applications; efficacy is closely governed by their respective quantum yields. Conventionally utilized quantum-yield measurements for lanthanides are laborious and not amenable to rapid relative comparison of compound performance. Here, we introduce a high-throughput optical imaging method to determine and directly compare relative quantum yield using Cherenkov-radiation-mediated excitation of luminescent lanthanide complexes.

Abstract
Light microscopy can offer certain advantages over electron microscopy in terms of acquiring detailed insights into the biological/intra-cellular milieu. In recent years, with the development of new fluorescence imaging technologies, it has become extremely important to assess the role of designing appropriate fluorophores in acquiring desired biological information without encountering any untoward hitches. Over the years, external fluorophores have been prevalently used in fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy-based studies. Photostable fluorogenic probes with high extinction coefficients and quantum yields, exhibiting minimum autofluorescence and photobleaching properties, are preferred in single-molecule microscopy as they can tolerate long-term laser exposure. Therefore, the development of triplet state quenchers and/or any other suitable new strategy to ensure the photo-stability of the fluorophores during long-term live cell imaging exercises is highly anticipated. In this feature article, various strategies for stabilizing fluorophores, including the mechanisms of TSQ-induced stabilization, have been thoroughly reviewed considering contemporary literature reports and applications.

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.
