“…This is well exemplified [ 23 ] by the series of 1,3-diketones, where substitution of methyl substituents on benzyl or thenoyl moieties modifies the triplet level, which, in turn, enables to sensitize the green or red luminescence of Tb 3+ or Eu 3+ . The similar effect of substituents has been revealed for the differently substituted 1,3-diketone derivatives of calix[4]arenes ( 32a – c [ 55 ] , 41a – c [ 59 ] on Table 1 ). In particular, the lower energy of the triplet level of the benzoylacetone-substituted calix[4]arenes ( 32b, 41b ) versus the acetylacetone-substituted ones ( 32a, 37, 41a,d ) is the reason for the different antenna effects on the Tb 3+ -and Yb 3+ -centered luminescence.…”
