A carbethoxy derivative of the push‐pull chromophore benzo[ a ]phenoxazin‐5‐one (Nile Red) forms chelate complexes of the trivalent lanthanide ions that are stable in coordinating solvents with a bathochromic shift of the intense charge‐transfer band in the Nile Red chromophore as a result. The complex formation results in quenching of the fluorescence from the free Nile Red ligand. Single crystals of a lanthanum( III ) complex have been grown and the X‐ray crystal structure showed that two Nile Red ligands are coordinated to the metal centre. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
