Smart lanthanide antennas for sensing water Fueyo González, Francisco García Fernández, Emilio Martínez, David Orte Gutiérrez, Ángel González Vera, Juan Antonio Two new families of lanthanide antennas are described. 8-Methoxy- 4,5-dihydrocyclopenta[de]quinolin-2(1H)-one phosphonates or carboxylates behave as selective antennas exhibiting Eu3+ luminescence in organic solvents, while quinolin-2(1H)-one analogues selectively sensitize the Tb3+ emission. These emissions are quenched by H2O addition. Based on this behaviour, the new lanthanide antennas can be used as highly sensitive water sensors. 2020-11-12T09:34:17Z 2020-11-12T09:34:17Z 2020-05-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Fueyo-González, F., Garcia-Fernandez, E., Martínez, D., Infantes, L., Orte, A., González-Vera, J.
