Abstract
An attempt was made to understand the complexation of Eu3+ with structurally modified CMPO-functionalized pillararenes by luminescence spectroscopy. Formation of single species with different numbers of inner sphere water molecules was found to be present for all the complexes. On increasing spacer length between ligating moieties and supramolecular pillararenes, the stereo-chemical crowding around ligating oxygen decreased. Therefore, strong covalent metal-oxygen bond was formed which was reflected in the increasing trend of the computed Ω2 values (Judd-Offelt parameter): LI (4.66Ã10â20)LII (3.19 ms)>LIII (2.94 ms) while the branching ratio values for all three complexes followed the same trend as β2>β4>β1. The other photo-physical constants like asymmetric factor, quantum efficiency, magnetic and electric dipole transition probabilities were also computed.
