Abstract

A 10⁴‐ to 10⁵‐times more intense absorption than the corresponding aqua complexes is exhibited by the cryptates 1 and 2; in the latter the ligand absorbs, in the former the metal ion. From the luminescence‐lifetimes in H₂O and D₂O it can be deduced that in Eu aq3⊕ nine or ten H₂O molecules coordinate the Eu^3⊕ ion, whereas in 1 only two or three H₂O molecules coordinate. Even in 10^‐5 molar aqueous solutions, 1 and 2 can absorb 1% of the incident UV photons and emit them again as visible light. (Figure Presented.)
