Abstract
Anionic and neutral complexes of europium and terbium with tetraaza phosphinate ligands are formed rapidly and are kinetically stable in vivo; the tetrakis(benzylphosphinate) terbium complex luminesces strongly via excitation into the proximate benzyl group involving efficient intramolecular energy transfer.Keywords
