In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Lanthanide supramolecular chemistry is a fast growing and intriguing research field due to
the unique photophysical, magnetic, and coordination properties of lanthanide ions (LnIII) …

The chemistry of the less familiar elements is a fascinating topic especially for the inorganic
minded. The lanthanides, or rare earths, comprise the 5d block of the periodic table and …

In the preceding decade, the metal complexes of lanthanide ions with light harvesting
organic chromophores have garnered intensive and greater attention due to their marvelous …

Rare-earth β-diketonates are complexes of β-diketones (1, 3-diketones) with rare-earth ions.
These complexes are the most popular and the most intensively investigated rare-earth …

Herein some examples of the use of lanthanide ions (f-metal ions) to direct the synthesis of
luminescent self-assembly systems (architectures) will be discussed. This area of lanthanide …

The lanthanide ions possess long lived excited states, which can be populated by
sensitizing antennae, and emit at long wavelengths in the visible and the near infrared (NIR) …

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

The structural diversity of highly connected metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has long
been limited due to the scarcity of highly connected metal clusters and the corresponding …

Strategies for the design of luminescent lanthanide complexes, especially Nd (III) complexes
are introduced in this review. The relatively low efficiency of Nd (III) emission in solution has …
