Popis: The luminescence properties of the (Eu{contained in}2.2.1){sup 3+} and (Ce{contained in}2.2.1){sup 3+} cryptates adsorbed on SiO{sub 2} and TiO{sub 2} surfaces are reported. There are considerable changes in the excitation and emission spectra of the luminescence of the Eu{sup 3+} cryptate compared to those of the complex in aqueous solution. this suggest that H{sub 2}O molecules in the first coordination sphere of the Eu{sup 3+} ion are replaced by Si-O entities. From the long decay time of this complex on silica it follows that there are no H{sub 2}O molecules coordinating the Eu{sup 3+} ion anymore. This suggests that the cryptate molecule has a specific, hemispherical, conformation on this surface. Evidence is given that the (Eu{contained in}2.2.1){sup 3+} complex decomposes on a TiO{sub 2} surface. Since the excitation and emission spectra of (Ce{contained in}2.2.1){sup 3+} on silica are very similar to those of the complex in aqueous solution and of those of uncomplexed Ce{sup 3+} ions on silica, no conclusions about the differences in the coordination of the Ce{sup 3+} ion in these surroundings can be drawn based on the authors measurements.
