Abstract

The development of peripherally substituted europium(III)-macrocycles suitable as luminescent bio-markers was continued in three related areas. (1) Protocols were established for the coupling of NCS-substituted Eu-macrocycles to proteins and for the mounting on microscope slides of particles labeled with luminescent Eu-macrocycles. The emission/excitation spectra of the dried, slide-mounted particles were investigated. (2) A procedure was developed for the synthesis of lanthanide-macrocycles having a single peripheral functionality. The structure and properties of the mono-functionalized macrocyclic complexes were established. (3) A study was undertaken to explore whether the emission intensity of the Eu-macrocycles can be increased by energy transfer from yttrium(III) complexes. Preliminary results have shown that a considerable luminescence enhancement can be achieved by this method. The results obtained in these three areas are evaluated in the light of the research reported by other investigators.
