Versatile Para‐Substituted Pyridine Lanthanide Coordination Complexes Allow Late Stage Tailoring of Complex Function (2021)
Journal Article
Starck, M., Fradgley, J. D., De Rosa, D. F., Batsanov, A. S., Papa, M., Taylor, M. J., Lovett, J. E., Lutter, J. C., Allen, M. J., & Parker, D. (2021). Versatile Para‐Substituted Pyridine Lanthanide Coordination Complexes Allow Late Stage Tailoring of Complex Function. Chemistry - A European Journal, 27(71), 17921-17927. https://doi.org/10.1002/chem.202103243

A series of cationic and neutral p−Br and p−NO2 pyridine substituted Eu(III) and Gd(III) coordination complexes serve as versatile synthetic intermediates. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution occurs readily at the para position under mild conditions,...

Comparative analysis of lanthanide excited state quenching by electronic energy and electron transfer processes (2021)
Journal Article
Parker, D., Fradgley, J. D., Delbianco, M., Starck, M., Walton, J., & Zwier, J. M. (2022). Comparative analysis of lanthanide excited state quenching by electronic energy and electron transfer processes. Faraday Discussions, 234, 159 - 174. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1fd00059d

The relative sensitivities of structurally related Eu(III) complexes to quenching by electron and energy transfer processes have been compared. In two sets of 9-coordinate complexes based on 1,4,7-triazacyclononane, the Eu emission lifetime decreased...

The design of responsive luminescent lanthanide probes and sensors (2021)
Journal Article
Parker, D., Fradgley, J. D., & Wong, K.-L. (2021). The design of responsive luminescent lanthanide probes and sensors. Chemical Society Reviews, 50(14), 8193-8213. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1cs00310k

The principles of the design of responsive luminescent probes and sensors based on lanthanide emission are summarised, based on a mechanistic understanding of their mode of action. Competing kinetic pathways for deactivation of the excited states tha... Read More about The design of responsive luminescent lanthanide probes and sensors.

Targeted pH switched europium complexes monitoring receptor internalisation in living cells (2021)
Journal Article
Fradgley, J. D., Starck, M., Laget, M., Bourrier, E., Dupuis, E., Lamarque, L., Trinquet, E., Zwier, J. M., & Parker, D. (2021). Targeted pH switched europium complexes monitoring receptor internalisation in living cells. Chemical Communications, 57(47), 5814-5817. https://doi.org/10.1039/d1cc01029h

We report the design and evaluation of pH responsive luminescent europium(III) probes that allow conjugation to targeting vectors to monitor receptor internalisation in cells. The approach adopted here can be used to tag proteins selectively and to m... Read More about Targeted pH switched europium complexes monitoring receptor internalisation in living cells.

Striking solvent dependence of total emission and circularly polarised luminescence in coordinatively saturated chiral europium complexes: solvation significantly perturbs the ligand field (2021)
Journal Article
