Use of Lanthanide‐Containing Polyoxometalates to Sensitise the Emission of Fluorescent Labelled Serum Albumin

Monitoring the interaction of biomolecules is important, and the use of energy transfer is a principal technique in elucidating nanoscale interactions. Lanthanide compounds are promising luminescent probes for biological samples as their emission is longer‐lived than any native autofluorescence. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are interesting structural motifs to incorporate lanthanides, offering low toxicity and a size pertinent for biological applications. Here, we employ iso‐structured POMs containing either terbium or europium and assess their interaction with serum albumin by sensitisation of a fluorescent tag on the protein via LRET (luminescence resonance energy transfer) by exciting the lanthanide. Time‐resolved measurements showed energy transfer with an efficiency of over 90 % for the POM–protein systems. The Tb–POM results were relatively straightforward, while those with the iso‐structured Eu–POM were complicated by the effect of protein shielding from the aqueous environment.     

Electrochemically controllable emission and coloration by using europium(III) complex and viologen derivatives

We have demonstrated electroswitchable emission and coloration using a novel composite material containing luminescent europium(III) complex Eu(hfa)(3)(H(2)O)(2) and diheptyl viologen HV(2+). The photoluminescence of the Eu(III) complex was controlled by the electrochemical coloration of HV(2+)via intermolecular energy transfer mechanisms.     

Development of a zinc ion-selective luminescent lanthanide chemosensor for biological applications

Detection of chelatable zinc (Zn(2+)) in biological studies has attracted much attention recently, because chelatable Zn(2+) plays important roles in many biological systems. Lanthanide complexes (Eu(3+), Tb(3+), etc.) have excellent spectroscopic properties for biological applications, such as long luminescence lifetimes of the order of milliseconds, a large Stoke's shift of >200 nm, and high water solubility. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of a novel lanthanide sensor molecule, [Eu-7], for detecting Zn(2+). This europium (Eu(3+)) complex employs a quinolyl ligand as both a chromophore and an acceptor for Zn(2+). Upon addition of Zn(2+) to a solution of [Eu-7], the luminescence of Eu(3+) is strongly enhanced, with high selectivity for Zn(2+) over other biologically relevant metal cations. One of the important advantages of [Eu-7] is that this complex can be excited with longer excitation wavelengths (around 340 nm) as compared with previously reported Zn(2+)-sensitive luminescent lamthanide sensors, whose excitation wavelength is at too high an energy level for biological applications. The usefulness of [Eu-7] for monitoring Zn(2+) changes in living HeLa cells was confirmed. This novel Zn(2+)-selective luminescent lanthanide chemosensor [Eu-7]should be an excellent lead compound for the development of a range of novel luminescent lanthanide chemosensors for biological applications.

Visible light sensitized attapulgite-based lanthanide composites: microstructure, photophysical behaviour and biological application

Attapulgite, an extremely stable fibrillar mineral present in nature, is a promising new carrier of luminescent lanthanide complexes for further applications. A europium complex Eu(DBM)(3)(H(2)O)(2) (HDBM = dibenzoylmethane) was covalently coupled onto modified attapulgites (or silica nanoparticles) via a ligand exchange reaction, generating attapulgite-based ternary europium complexes. The composites were characterized by CHN elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) for Eu(3+) content, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG) and UV-vis absorption spectra. The results indicate that the Eu(3+) complex was grafted covalently to the outer surfaces of attapulgites (or silica nanoparticles) and modifications by coupling agents containing different alkoxide groups (aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) or aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane (APMDES)) led to different grafting ratios. The structures of these composites were further evidenced by the determination of photophysical behaviours and coordinated water molecules of the complexes linked to matrices. Attapulgite-based lanthanide composites linked by APTES can be excited by visible light, with a wide excitation wavelength range from UV to visible light (a maximum at 398 nm), long luminescence lifetime (503 μs), high quantum yield (48%) and improved exposure durability. When incubated with HeLa cells at 37 °C, the fluorescence of matrix-APTES-cpa-Eu(DBM)(3) is observed on the cell membrane. Moreover, the low cytotoxicity of our present system results in potential applications for cell imaging in biological systems.

Photophysics and crystal structure of a europium(III) cryptate incorporating 3,3'-biisoquinoline-2,2'-dioxide

Increased interest in the emission properties of lanthanide(III) (Eu and Tb) complexes containing ultraviolet and visible sensitizers is being driven by the desire to produce efficient and selective luminescent probes of biological structure. Of special interest are cryptates and other macrocyclic chelating ligands that efficiently encapsulate the lanthanide ions. These species also form relatively stable systems and in some cases are well protected from penetration of the first coordination sphere by solvent molecules and counterions. This work describes the X-ray structure and various spectroscopic measurements on a europium cryptate containing 3,3'-biisoquinoline-2,2'-dioxide (biqO2). This cryptate has been previously recognized for special stability and luminescence efficiency. The compound, (Eu:biqO2.2.2)(CF3SO3)3.CH3CN.H2O, forms rhombic crystals with the space group Pbca. Absorption, emission, and excitation spectra at 293, 77, and 4 K as well as luminescence decay time measurements are used to characterize the solid state and solutions. The ligand-to-metal energy-transfer mechanism and thermally activated back-energy-transfer processes are analyzed and compared to previously published results on related Eu(III) cryptate systems. Preliminary results on the use of high liquid pressure to perturb ligand singlet and triplet states and, as a consequence, probe the ligand-metal orbital interactions are also presented.     

Lanthanide‐to‐Lanthanide Energy‐Transfer Processes Operating in Discrete Polynuclear Complexes: Can Trivalent Europium Be Used as a Local Structural Probe?

This work, based on the synthesis and analysis of chemical compounds, describes a kinetic approach for identifying intramolecular intermetallic energy‐transfer processes operating in discrete polynuclear lanthanide complexes, with a special emphasis on europium‐containing entities. When all coordination sites are identical in a (supra)molecular complex, only heterometallic communications are experimentally accessible and a Tb→Eu energy transfer could be evidenced in [TbEu( L5 )(hfac)₆] (hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate), in which the intermetallic separation amounts to 12.6 Å. In the presence of different coordination sites, as found in the trinuclear complex [Eu₃( L2 )(hfac)₉], homometallic communication can be induced by selective laser excitation and monitored with the help of high‐resolution emission spectroscopy. The narrow and non‐degenerated character of the Eu(⁵D₀?⁷F₀) transition excludes significant spectral overlap between donor and acceptor europium cations. Intramolecular energy‐transfer processes in discrete polynuclear europium complexes are therefore limited to short distances, in agreement with the Fermi golden rule and with the kinetic data collected for [Eu₃( L2 )(hfac)₉] in the solid state and in solution. Consequently, trivalent europium can be considered as a valuable local structural probe in discrete polynuclear complexes displaying intermetallic separation in the sub‐nanometric domain, a useful property for probing lanthanido‐polymers.     

Europium(III) chelate-dyed nanoparticles as donors in a homogeneous proximity-based immunoassay for estradiol

Nanoparticles containing thousands of fluorescent europium(III) chelates have a very high specific activity compared to traditional lanthanide chelate labels. It can be assumed that if these particles are used in a homogeneous assay as donors, multiple chelates can excite a single acceptor in turns and the energy transfer to the acceptor is increased. The principle was employed in an immunoassay using luminescent resonance energy transfer from a long lifetime europium(III) chelate-dyed nanoparticle to a short lifetime, near-infrared fluorescent molecule. Due to energy transfer fluorescence lifetime of the sensitised emission was prolonged and fluorescence could be measured using a time-resolved detection.A competitive homogeneous immunoassay for estradiol was created using 92 nm europium(III) chelate-dyed nanoparticle coated with 17β-estradiol specific recombinant antibody Fab fragments as a donor and estradiol conjugated with near-infrared dye AlexaFluor 680 as an acceptor. The density of Fab fragments on the surface of the particle influenced the sensitivity of the immunoassay. The optimal Fab density was reached when the entire surface of the particle participated in the energy transfer, but the areas where the energy was transferred to a single acceptor, did not overlap. We were able to detect estradiol concentrations down to 70 pmol l⁻¹ (3×SD of a standard containing 0 nmol l⁻¹ of E2) using a 96-well platform. In this study we demonstrated that nanoparticles containing lanthanide chelates could be used as efficient donors in homogeneous assays.     

Tuning the triplet energy levels of pyrazolone ligands to match the 5D0 level of europium(III)

Three pyrazolone-based ligands, namely 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(1-naphthoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL1), 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-dimethylaminobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL2), and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-cyanobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HL3), were synthesized by introducing electron-poor or electron-rich aryl substituents at the 4-position of the pyrazolone ring. Their corresponding europium complexes Eu(LX)3(H2O)2 and Eu(LX)3(TPPO)(H2O) (X = 1-3) were characterized by photophysical studies. The characteristic Eu(III) emission of these complexes with at most 9.2 x 10(-3) of fluorescent quantum yield was observed at room temperature. The results show that the modification of ligands tunes the triplet energy levels of three pyrazolone-based ligands to match the 5D0 energy level of Eu3+ properly and improves the energy transfer efficiency from antenna to Eu3+, therefore enhancing the Eu(III) emission intensity. The highest energy transfer efficiency and probability of lanthanide emission of Eu(L1)3(H2O)2 are 35.1% and 2.6%, respectively, which opens up broad prospects for improving luminescent properties of Eu(III) complexes by the modification of ligands. Furthermore, the electroluminescent properties of Eu(L1)3(TPPO)(H2O) were also investigated.
