Traditional inorganic and organic luminescent materials have been extensively explored
and realized for their diverse functionalities and applications in lighting, display, sensing …

Trivalent lanthanide ions display fascinating optical properties. The discovery of the
corresponding elements and their first industrial uses were intimately linked to their optical …

The luminescence of trivalent lanthanide ions has found applications in lighting, lasers,
optical telecommunications, medical diagnostics, and various other fields. This introductory …

This review summarises recent work from several groups on the preparation and
photophysical properties of d–f heteronuclear assemblies in which a strongly light absorbing …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes molecular, near infrared (NIR)-emitting
compounds containing Nd III, Er III, or Yb III and discrete molecular edifices containing other …

Optical devices and biomedical imaging probes increasingly utilize the long lifetimes and
narrow linewidths of luminescent lanthanide (LnIII) ions.[1] Near-infrared (NIR) emitting LnIII …

In this paper we demonstrate that the effect of aromatic C F substitution in ligands does not
always abide by conventional wisdom for ligand design to enhance sensitisation for visible …

Since the non-linear optical (NLO) response of matter to incident excitation light does not
require long-lived intermediate excited states working as relays, the conversion of low …
