The spontaneous self-organization of matters has always been one of the most fascinating
wonders in the world. Self-assembly refers to “the autonomous organization of components …

Lanthanide ions possess fascinating optical properties and their discovery, first industrial
uses and present high technological applications are largely governed by their interaction …

Luminescent lanthanide complexes display unrivalled spectroscopic properties, which place
them in a special category in the luminescent toolbox. Their long-lived line-like emission …

Since the description of efficient electroluminescence from aluminium tris (hydroxyquinoline)
in the mid 1980s, interest in new complexes and polymers with luminescence properties as …

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 …

Two lanthanide-organic frameworks were synthesized via hydrothermal methods.
Compound 1 ([(Eu, Tb)(C6H8O4) 3 (H2O) 2]•(C10H8N2), orthorhombic, Pbcn, a= 21.925 (2) …

This article reviews progress in the research of transition metal–lanthanide (d–f) bimetallic
complexes. Through efficient energy transfer, sensitized luminescence of lanthanide ions …

A series of push− pull donor-π-conjugated dipicolinic acid ligands and related tris-
dipicolinate europium and lutetium complexes have been prepared. The ligands present …

Ligand-capped gold nanoparticles were synthesized by cap** monothiol derivatives of 2,
2 '-dipyridyl onto the surface of Au nanoparticles (Au− BT). The average size of the metal …
