The synthesis of the cyclen derivative H(4)L(1)·2 HBr containing four 2-hydroxybenzamide groups is described. The spectroscopic properties of the Ln(III) conplexes of L(1) (Ln=Gd, Tb, Yb, and Eu) reveal changes of the UV/VIS-absorption, circular-dichroism-absorption, luminescence, and circularly polarized luminescence spectra. It is shown that at least two metal-complex species are present in solution, whose relative amounts are pH dependent. At pH > 8.0, an intense long-lived emission is observ ...[more]
