  • Title: Lanthanide benzoates: a versatile building block for the construction of efficient light emitting materials.
    Author: Reddy ML, Sivakumar S.
    Journal: Dalton Trans; 2013 Feb 28; 42(8):2663-78. PubMed ID: 23258556.
    Abstract:
    On account of their intrinsic chemical and spectroscopic properties, luminescent lanthanide molecular materials find potential applications in lighting, optical communications, photonics and biomedical devices. This perspective article summarizes some recent seminal research work on luminescent properties and structural aspects of a series of lanthanide benzoate complexes featuring Eu(3+) and Tb(3+) ions. In particular, when modified with light-harvesting moieties, benzoates have proven to be efficient sensitizers for lanthanide ions. The photoluminescence properties of the various lanthanide benzoate coordination compounds have also been correlated with the electronic states of the newly designed antenna molecules.
