Hydrophobic chromophore cargo in micellar structures: a different strategy to sensitize lanthanide cations
Résumé
We propose a new approach for the versatile sensitization of luminescent lanthanide cations. A hydrophobic chromophore is incorporated into a micellar assembly formed by the amphiphilic lanthanide chelate. The sensitizer to lanthanide energy transfer occurs between the two moieties without covalent linkage.
