4-Triazolyl-dipicolinic acids, prepared efficiently by CuAAC, proved to act as efficient antennae for optical lanthanide probes containing Eu3+ or Tb3+, under linear and non excitations (one, two three photons provided laser induced luminescence). The versatility offered the substitution of triazole subunit is, in addition, useful covalent linkage slide glass providing luminescent films.
