28. Typical structure of (Eu)1 obtained from a molecular modeling simulation in a box of OPLS methanol using the CHARMM force field. In the simulation, the n-butoxypropyl moieties have been replaced by methyl groups. The hydrogen atoms have been removed for clarity. For the simulation the same procedure was followed as reported in: van Veggel, F. J. C. M.; Reinhoudt, D. N. Recl. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas 1995, 114, 387.

34. In principle the quantum yields should have been measured against a few standards, including one that emits in the red. However, it is our experience that quantum yields determined for similar complexes against quinine sulfate, ruthenium trisbipyridine, and cresyl violet are the same within 5%.

36. 3+ emission was observed at these conditions.

65. 3+ is actually more cathodic due to the complexation of a trivalently negatively charged ligand. No data on the complexes are available but it is expected that still a driving force remains for the charge transfer.
