TLDR
This critical review describes the latest developments in the sensitization of near-infrared luminescence, "soft" luminescent materials (liquid crystals, ionic liquids, ionogels), electroluminescentmaterials for organic light emitting diodes, with emphasis on white light generation, and applications in luminecent bio-sensing and bio-imaging based on time-resolved detection and multiphoton excitation.
Abstract
Recent startling interest for lanthanide luminescence is stimulated by the continuously expanding need for luminescent materials meeting the stringent requirements of telecommunication, lighting, electroluminescent devices, (bio-)analytical sensors and bio-imaging set-ups. This critical review describes the latest developments in (i) the sensitization of near-infrared luminescence, (ii) “soft” luminescent materials (liquid crystals, ionic liquids, ionogels), (iii) electroluminescent materials for organic light emitting diodes, with emphasis on white light generation, and (iv) applications in luminescent bio-sensing and bio-imaging based on time-resolved detection and multiphoton excitation (500 references).

Modulating the photophysical properties of azamacrocyclic europium complexes with charge-transfer antenna chromophores.

TL;DR: A detailed solvent-dependent photophysical study indicates that this luminescence quenching is not due to the direct coordination of O-H vibrators to the metal center but to the increase of nonradiative processes in a protic solvent induced by an internal isomerization equilibrium.

Photophysical Studies of Europium Coordination Polymers Based on a Tetracarboxylate Ligand

TL;DR: The triplet state of ligand H4ptptc matches well with the emission level of Eu(III) ion, which allows the preparation of new optical materials with enhanced luminescence properties and is studied in terms of their emission quantum yields, emission lifetimes, and the radiative/nonradiative rates.

Significant developments in rare-earth-containing polyoxometalate chemistry: synthetic strategies, structural diversities and correlative properties

TL;DR: The major progress in rare-earth-containing polyoxometalates (RECPs) made in the past decade involving synthetic strategies, structural characteristics and some significant properties related to optics, catalysis and magnetism is highlighted and discussed in this article.

Intercalation of organic sensitisers into layered europium hydroxide and enhanced luminescence property

TL;DR: Two organic sensitisers 4-biphenylcarboxylate and terephthalate were intercalated into the gallery of layered europium hydroxide and PL spectra tests indicated that BPC markedly enhanced the red luminescence of Eu(3+) due to efficient energy transfer between BPC and EU(3+), forming a contrast to intercalation TA and the starting NO(3)(-) anions in the gallery.

Two-Photon Laser Scanning Fluorescence Microscopy

TL;DR: The fluorescence emission increased quadratically with the excitation intensity so that fluorescence and photo-bleaching were confined to the vicinity of the focal plane as expected for cooperative two-photon excitation.

Luminescent Metal–Organic Frameworks

TL;DR: This critical review discusses the origins of MOF luminosity, which include the linker, the coordinated metal ions, antenna effects, excimer and exciplex formation, and guest molecules.

Upconversion and Anti-Stokes Processes with f and d Ions in Solids

TL;DR: Before the 1960s, all anti-Stokes emissions, which were known to exist, involved emission energies in excess of excitation energies by only a few kT and were linked to thermal population of energy states above excitation states by such an energy amount.
