4f-LUMINESCENCE OF LANTHANIDE IONS IN REGIOISOMERIC CORROLE COMPLEXES

Abstract

Isomeric ditopic corroles and complexes of Yb (III), Nd (III) and Er (III) based on them were synthesized  and corrole-photosensitized 4f-luminescence in near infrared region was revealed. The structure of isomeric complexes allows adjusting the distance between the corrole core and lanthanide ion. The obtained results show that the sensitization mechanism changes drastically for both different lanthanides and isomeric forms.
