With the help of associations between Eu3+, Yb3+, and Nd3+ ions and low-potential redox-active ruthenium carbon-rich complexes bearing bipyridine chelating unit(s) of the type trans-[Ph鈥揅鈮鈥?dppe)2Ru鈥揅鈮鈥揵ipy-魏2N,N鈥测€揕n(TTA)3], trans-[(dppe)2Ru(鈭扖鈮鈥揵ipy-魏2N,N鈥测€揕n(TTA)3)2], and trans-[Ph鈥揅鈮鈥?dppe)2Ru鈥揅鈮鈥揅6H4鈥揅鈮鈥揵ipy-魏2N,N鈥测€揧b(TTA)3], we built new original d鈥揻 heterometallic complexes. Efficient sensitization in the visible range of the Nd3+ and Yb3+ near-infrared (NIR) emitters was achieved with the metal鈥揳cetylide antenna, while sensitization of the Eu3+ ion was not efficient owing to the low energy level of the antenna excited state. The redox properties of these groups also allow for low-potential redox modulation of NIR luminescence of the Yb3+ ion and, for the first time, of the Nd3+ ion.
