Optical probes that provide information about local chirality have been developed based on
changes to the circular polarisation of emitted light. Highly emissive complexes of lanthanide …

Gaining greater understanding of the structural and functional properties of living systems is
a key challenge in biology and medicine. On a more practical side, the diagnosis and …

The fascination for lanthanide optical spectroscopy dates back to the 1880s when renowned
scientists such as Sir William Crookes, LeCoq de Boisbaudran, Eugène Demarçay or, later …

In this paper recent advances in the development of efficient light conversion molecular
devices (LCMD) based on lanthanide complexes are reviewed, with emphasis on the work …

The synthesis is described of a series of calix [4] arenes with three different sensitizer
chromophores (“antenna”) attachedto the lower rim via a short spacer. In the Eu3+ and Tb3+ …

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

A fundamental aspect of any element is the range of oxidation states accessible for useful
chemistry. This tutorial describes the recent expansion of the number of oxidation states …

The Ln3+ and Ln2+ complexes, Cp′ 3Ln, 1,(Cp′= C5H4SiMe3) and [K (2.2. 2-
cryptand)][Cp′ 3Ln], 2, respectively, have been synthesized for the six lanthanides …

Lanthanides have recently found applications in different fields of biomolecular and medical
research. Luminescent lanthanide chelates have created interest mainly due to their unique …

This work presents the preparation of the europium tungstate compound, Eu2 (WO4) 3,
through the use of a polymeric precursor according to the Pechini method. In the preparation …
