Changing the local coordination environment in mono- and bi- nuclear lanthanide complexes through “click” chemistryElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Experimental procedures and characterisation. See DOI: 10.1039/b911588a.

Alkyne appended lanthanide complexes derived from DO3A undergo copper catalysed cycloaddition reactions with azides to form triazole appended complexes: coordination of one of the triazole nitrogen atoms to the metal centre changes the local coordination environment and the spectroscopic properties of the complex.
