The facile synthesis of functionalized luminescent nanoparticles from LnL3 lanthanide complexes is described. The luminescence properties of the lanthanide chelates and of the corresponding nanohybrids are reported and compared. For a further application in bioimaging, the cytotoxicity of the nano-objects was investigated.
