    Abstract

    Coordination environment of the Tb3+ ion in oxygen-sensitive luminescent complexes can be successfully controlled through the size of alkyl substituents on ligands {(RMeArOH)4cyclen} (R = tBu or Me; cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane); a newly prepared eight-coordinate complex 1tBu shows higher oxygen sensitivity (KSV = 17 600) and lower luminescence quantum yield (φ = 0.67 under N2) than those of the previously reported seven-coordinate analogues 1Me and [{(MeMeArO)3tacn}TbIII(THF)] (KSV = 12 600 and 8300, φ = 0.91 and 0.91 under N2, respectively; tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; THF = tetrahydrofuran). The oxygen-sensitive mechanism is discussed on the basis of the photophysical properties of the corresponding Gd(III) complexes.
