Lanthanides ions are widely used as emitting centers in light emitting devices. They hold high efficiency of emission, but low molar absorption. This problem can be overcome by the use of organic ligands that show highest molar absorbance and are able to transfer the energy of their excited state to the emitting states of the lanthanide ions. The energy transfer from the triplet and singlet levels of organic ligand to the lanthanide ion is called “antenna effect”. Iridium complexes hold high molar absorption and an excited state that is a mix of ligand triplet-excited state and a charge-transfer metal to ligand band (3L-MLCT); this energy level can transfer energy efficiently to the lanthanide ions. Therefore, heteronuclear compounds multicentered of lanthanide ions bonded in bridge with iridium complexes by a ligand that connects the two metallic centers can produce a “super-antenna” effect, increasing the emission efficiency in the lanthanide ions. In this study, we synthesized and characterized mononuclear complexes containing Ir3+ and Eu3+ ions, and bimetallic tetranuclear complexes (Ir3+-Eu3+). These complexes were characterized by infrared absorption spectroscopy, UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectra of the mononuclear compounds showed similar characteristics to those encountered in the literature, whereas the heterobimetallic complexes exhibit emission characteristic of both, Ir3+ complexes and Eu3+ complexes. This suggests that the bond in bridge between the metallic centers did happened, and the energy was transferred from the excited state 3L-MLCT to the emitting state of the lanthanide, but this was not very efficient. This may occurs probably by an approximation between the energy levels that favors a backdonation process. Geometry and UV-Vis spectra were simulated using quantum software, finding high agreement between the theory and experimental data
