The chiral resolution of a kinetically inert molecular ruby [Cr (dqp) 2] 3+(1, dqp= 2, 6-di
(quinolin-8-yl) pyridine) displaying strong dual light emission at room temperature has been …

Luminescent lanthanide coordination polymers composed of lanthanide ions and organic
joint ligands exhibit characteristic photophysical and thermostable properties that are …

Bright, long‐lived emission from first‐row transition‐metal complexes is very challenging to
achieve. Herein, we present a new strategy relying on the rational tuning of energy levels …

The design of highly near-infrared (NIR) emissive lanthanide (Ln) complexes is challenging,
owing to the lack of molecular systems with a high sensitization efficiency and the difficulty of …

Fluorescence optical imaging is a highly sensitive and powerful tool with diverse in vitro and
in vivo applications for preclinical and clinical studies. This review is focused on the optical …

This article summarises the state of the art of metal complexes in cell imaging, particularly
fluorescence microscopy, and presents prospects for the future development of this area …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a unique type of porous material characterized by high
porosity, large internal surface area and remarkable structural tunability, have emerged as …
