Abstract
The assembly of a mixture of guest-functionalized antenna and Eu3+-complexed ligand molecules in a patterned fashion onto a receptor surface was shown to provide local and efficient sensitized Eu3+ emission. Coordination of a carboxylate group of the antenna to the Eu3+ center and noncovalent anchoring of both components to the receptor surface appeared to be prerequisites for efficient energy transfer. A Job plot at the surface confirmed that coordination of the antenna to the Eu3+ center occured in a 1:1 fashion. The efficiency of this intramolecular binding process is promoted by the high effective concentration of both complementary moieties at the surface. The system constitutes, therefore an example of supramolecular expression of a complex consisting of several different building blocks which signals its own correct formation.

The surface was consecutively imaged by fluorescence microscopy using two different filter sets: one set B allows UV excitation (300 nm ≤ λex ≤ 400 nm) and blue emission (410 nm ≤ λem ≤ 510 nm) and another set R allows UV excitation and red emission (narrow band pass at 615 nm).
