Our research is focused on the area of sensitizing lanthanide luminescence. This has been achieved with the synthesis of a new carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) ligand. This ligand has three aromatic groups, which we believe act as antennas in this system. Our CMPO ligand is successful at sensitizing terbium, europium, dysprosium, and samarium luminescence. The highest efficiency we observed was with the terbium complex. Analytical data has been taken of the complexes and will be presented.
