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).

An Efficient Visible and Near-Infrared (NIR) Emitting Sm(III) Metal-Organic Framework (Sm-MOF) Sensitized by Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) Ligand.

TL;DR: An unprecedented example of a luminescent Sm(III) metal-organic framework (Sm-MOF), in which both the visible and near-infrared (NIR) emissions of Sm(3+) ions are able to be sensitized by an excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) ligand.

A luminescent single-molecule magnet: observation of magnetic anisotropy using emission as a probe

TL;DR: The f-f emission spectrum had partially resolved fine structure which provides detailed information on the magnetic anisotropy of the (7)F(6) ground multiplet of the Tb(III) ion.

Two Series of Lanthanide Coordination Polymers with 2-Methylenesuccinate: Magnetic Refrigerant, Slow Magnetic Relaxation, and Luminescence Properties

TL;DR: Two series of lanthanide coordination polymers based on 2-methylenesuccinate acid (H2MSA) ligand, {[Ln(MSA)(NO3)(H2O)2]·2H 2O}n (Ln = Gd (1); Tb (2); Dy (3)) and {Ln2(mSA)3(h2O),4]·3H 2 O],n(Gd (4), Tb(5), Dy (6), have been synthesized as discussed by the authors.

Unexpected Efficiency of a Luminescent Samarium(III) Complex for Combined Visible and Near-Infrared Biphotonic Microscopy.

TL;DR: An original samarium(III) complex based on a triazacyclononane platform functionalized with a charge-transfer antenna chromophore exhibited optimized brightness and was successfully used as an emissive species for two-photon microscopy experiments in both the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges.

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.

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.
