Supramolecular Chemistry from Sensors and Imaging Agents to Functional Mononuclear and Polynuclear Self-Assembly Lanthanide Complexes... 

In the first part of this chapter, we have tried to demonstrate that the lanthanide ions can give rise to the formation of a variety of mononuclear supramolecular systems that can be employed for sensing and imaging, and in the formation of novel self-assembly structures that can be further exploited for use in materials-based systems. The next part of this chapter demonstrates that such supramolecular structures can be expanded to polynuclear lanthanide complexes and self-assemblies.
