Abstract

Silylated guanine formed luminescent double-decker type octet complexes with trivalent lanthanide cations (lanthanide cation : guanine = 1:8) in organic media, while a deaminated guanine derivative gave only 1:2 complexes. The octet formation was evidenced by characteristic UV/Vis absorption changes, CSI-TOF MS and 1H NMR spectra. The octet with Tb3+ showed intense green luminescence with a long lifetime by photo-excitation of the guanine chromophore. The trivalent lanthanie cations stabilized the octets more effectively than common mono- and divalent metal cations.
