Reversible redox modulation of a lanthanide emissive molecular film

Abstract

Herein we demonstrate redox switchable emission from a sensitised, europium–ferrocene containing, molecular film assembled by a novel nitrene-based strategy. Electrochemical modulation of europium emission upon switching the ferrocene moiety's redox state is ascribed to the reversible generation of a quenching ferrocenium species.
