Presently, phosphors and luminescent materials for lighting, telecommunications, displays,
security inks and marking, as well as for probes in biosciences represent one third of the …

Present-day advanced technologies heavily rely on the exciting magnetic and spectroscopic
properties of lanthanide ions. In particular, their ability to generate well-characterized and …

Interest in lanthanide‐containing organic–inorganic hybrids has grown considerably during
the last decade, with the concomitant fabrication of materials with tunable attributes offering …

Research on organic–inorganic hybrid materials containing trivalent lanthanide ions (Ln3+)
is a very active field that has rapidly shifted in the last couple of years to the development of …

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

Enabling strong and long-lived NIR emission from complexes with earth-abundant metal
ions is exemplified by embedding chromium (III) in a very strong ligand field yielding the …

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 …

Several series of selectively deuterated 2, 2′-bipyridine-based cryptates with the near-IR
emissive lanthanoids Pr, Nd, Er, and Yb are reported. The structural and luminescence …

Studies addressed to a deep understanding of the structure/property relationship on the
near infrared (NIR)-emissive erbium–quinolinolate complexes, which are of interest for low …

Partially and fully chlorinated 2-mercaptobenzothiazoles, namely 5, 6-dichloro-1, 3-
benzothiazol-2 (3 H)-thione (HmbtCl2) and 4, 5, 6, 7-tetrachloro-1, 3-benzothiazol-2 (3 H) …
