Abstract
Using simple building blocks to develop functional supramolecular materials is an active area of research. To this extent the use of lanthanide ions (Ln³⁺ to direct supramolecular self-assembly with organic ligands has become a popularised method whereby the interesting photophysical properties of Ln³⁺ can be manipulated by simple modification of the organic architecture. Applications of such systems vary from solar waveguides, OLEDS, molecular sensors, contrast agents, bio-probes, security inks and barcodes. Herein, a synthetic strategy has been developed and investigated to readily functionalise the organic scaffolds 2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (PDA) and 6-carbamoylpyridine-2-carboxcylic acid (PDC), using 1,2,3-triazole “click” chemistry.--Shortened abstract
