LUMINESCENT COMPLEXES OF LANTHANIDE IONS FOR SENSING AND TECNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

In the present work, new chiral ligands based on the chiral fragment 1,2- diaminecyclohexane (DACH) and their Ln(III) complexes, soluble in different solvents, have been synthetized and characterized from a structural point of view, in solution and, when possible, in the solid state. Also a deep spectroscopic characterization has been performed. Several experiments have been carried out in order to investigate the optical responsivity in solution towards several anions and therefore the possible applications in the field of (bio)sensing. As far as the applications in the field of OLED (also CP-OLED) are concerned, the spectroscopy of several complexes has been studied in the solid state.
