In one of its aspects, the invention relates to compounds of formula (I), wherein M is En, Tb or Dy, Sm; R2 is hydrogen or C1-C6alkyl, and R1 and R3 are each independently of the other phenyl, hydrogen or C1-C6alkyl, and L is p-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, N-methylimidazole or p-methoxypyridine-N-oxide. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds for optical sensors sensitive to impact, tension or pressure.

Description

2 PCTlEP96100005 Triboluminescent lanthanide~~~complexes The present invention relates to lanthanide~~~ complexes of 1,3-diketones, which complexes have a high luriinescence quantum yield as well as long-lasting luminescence, a narrowband emission spectrum and bright triboluminescence. The invention also relates to the use of said compounds for optical sensors sensitive to impact, tension or pressure.
The phenomenon of triboluminescence (emission of light under strong mechanical stress) has long been known and is described, inter alia, in Advances in Physics 1977, Vol. 26, No. 6, 887-948 or in Math. Naturwi ss. Unterricht 4514, 1992, 195-202. A great number of crystalline compounds display this phenomenon, but as yet only very few are known whose emission is so atrong as to be easily observable also in daylight. The brightest triboluminescent substance known so far is triethylammonium tetrakis(dibenzoylmethanato)-europate(III).
Although the p'~enomenon of triboluminescence is well known, its cause cannot be completely accounted for yet and hence no predictions can be made concerning the occurrence of particularly intense triboluminescent compounds.
Specific Eu(III) complexes with pyridine-N-oxide, 2-, 3-,or 4-picoline-N-oxide and bipyridine-N, N-dioxide as well as thenoyltrifluoroacetone as ligand are disclosed in CA 114(18):17'7114p as triboluminescent substances of intense brightness.
It has now been found that a specific group of predominantly colourless lanthanide complexes displays particularly bright triboluminescence, which complexes have very narrowband emission lines, pronounced Stokes' shift, as well as long-lasting luminescence and a high quantum yield of photochemically excited luminenscence.
By virtue of thE~ir long-lasting photochemically excited luminescence and high luminescence quantum yield, these compounds are also particularly suitable for use as pigments or dyes in the field of security printing. Bank notes and securities are typical examples requiring a high degree of security against unauthorised duplication. The high luminescence of the compounds is able to induce colour changes in the documents printed therewith when duplicated in conventional manner, so that the documents are identifiable as duplicates.
In one of its aspects, the invention relates to compounds of formula I

- L- MIII R~ w R3 O ~ 3 (1), wherein M is Eu, Tb or Dy, Sm;
R2 is hydrogen or C,-Csalkyl, and - R1 and Rg are each independently of the other phenyl, hydrogen or C,-Csalkyl, and L is p-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, N-methylimidazole or p-methoxypyridine-N-oxide.
The Ci=Csalkyl groups can be straight-chain or branched and are typically methyl, ethyl, .
n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl or the different positional isomers of pentyl and hexyl. The alkyl groups preferably contain 3-5 carbon atoms.
M is preferably Eu , Tb or Dy.
R2 is preferably hydrogen.
Most preferably, R~ and R3 are each tert-butyl or phenyl.
The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula I, which comprises reacting compounds of formula II
Mlll R~~~R3 - S
(II) in an organic solvent with p-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, N-methylimidazole or p-methoxy-pyridine-N-oxide, wherein R,, R?, R3 and M have the meaning given above.
The preparation of the compunds of formula II is known per se and is described in K. J.
Eisentraut, R. E. Sievers, Inorg. Syn. 11, 1968, 94.
Organic solvent's are preferably alcohols, ethers, ketones, acid amides, aliphatic or aromatic nitrites, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons or aromatic compounds, or Emixtures thereof.
Particularly preferred solvents are C,-Csalcohol, benzonitrile or acetonitrile.
The reaction is ;preferably carried out in the temperature range from 20° C to 150° C.
Reaction time and printing conditions are per se non-critical, and the reaction is preferably carried out under conditions of nom~al pressure. The reaction time may be in the range from minutes to 24 hours and is preferably from 1 to 5 hours.
By virtue of their luminescent properties, the compounds can be used as optical sensors for detecting oxygE~~n, as is disclosed in the case of some lanthanide complexes, inter alia, in EP-A-0 259 95'i .
Another potential field of use for triboluminescent lanthanide complexes is also, for example, that of surface analysis in grinding processes in spiral jet mills, as described by H. Kurten and (a. Rumpf in Chem. Ing. Technik 38, 3 (1966) 331-342.
Their tribolumirescent properties make the compounds of formula I admirably suited for use as optical sensors sensitive to impact, tension or pressure, which sensors can, for example, be attached as warning elements to cargo which has to be protected from too great a mechanical strE~ss.
Accordingly, th~:~ invention also relates to a coated material sensitive to impact, tension or pressure, whersin a crystalline layer a) consisting of the compounds of formula I is coated onto at least ore side of a substratE~.
The form of thEsubstrate is intrinsically non-critical and will depend on the requirements of .
r , the user. Possible embodiments are, for example, spherical, cylindrical, u-shaped or planar.
The substrate is preferably substantially planar.
The substrate i:an be coated with the crystalline layer a) on one side or on both sides, but preferably on cane side only.
The compounds of formula I can also be homogeneously dispersed in crystalline form in polymers in which they do not dissolve.
Suitable polymers are, for example, thermoplastic polymers, typically polyolefins, polyesters orpolyamides. However, it is also possible to use crosslinked polymers, typically heat-curable melamine resins, as well as acrylates and polyesters which are crosslinked with melamine resins; epoxy resins or polyurethanes. Radiation-curable polymers, typically unsaturated polyesters or acrylate-functional prepolymers, can also be used.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is that wherein the compounds of formula I are .. homogeneously dispersed in a polymeric material and the substrate is coated with said polymeric material.
If the crystalline layer a) is first applied to the substrate, then in a preferred embodiment of the invention a polymeric protective layer is additionally coated onto said crystalline layer a).
Another preferred embodiment of the invention conisists of a substrate coated on at least one side with an adhesive layer to which the crystalline layer a) is applied.
In this case, too, a polymeric protective layer can, if required, be additionally applied.
The substrate can consist of any material. It may consist of metal, plastic, a mineral or a semi-conductor.
The substrate is preferably a plastic material.
The substrate is preferably flexible.
The invention also relates to the use of compounds of formula 1 in optical sensors which are sensitive to impact, tension or pressure.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.
Working Examples Example A1: Preparation of a tris(1,3 di-tert-butyl-fi-propanedione)europate-p-dimethyl-aminopyridine complex ml of a 5 mmolar ethanolic solution of p-dimethylaminopyridine are slowly added to 50 ml of a 5 mmolar solution of tris(1,3 di-tert-butyl=~i-propanedione)europate in ethanol. The turbid solution is refluxed for 2.5 hours. After cooling, the solution is filtered over Kieselgur*
and the filtrate is fully concentrated by evaporation to dryness. The crude product is recrystallised from acetonitrile (only the-complex containing p-methoxypyridine-N-oxide is recrystallised from petroleum ether).
The tris(1,3 di-tert-butyl-a-propanedione)europate-p-dimethylaminopyridine complex is obtained in good yield.
The compounds A2=A6 characterised in Table 1 are 'prepared in analogous manner.
