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).

Anion Effects on Lanthanide(III) Tetrazole-1-acetate Dinuclear Complexes Showing Slow Magnetic Relaxation and Photofluorescent Emission

TL;DR: Three types of lanthanide complexes based on the tetrazole-1-acetic acid ligand and the 2,2'-bipyridine coligand were prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analyses.

Near-infrared luminescent, neutral, cyclic Zn2Ln2 (Ln = Nd, Yb, and Er) complexes from asymmetric salen-type schiff base ligands

TL;DR: In the presence of excess pyridine (py), Zn(OAc) 2 ·2H 2 O reacted with an equimolar amount of asymmetric salen-type Schiff base ligand, generated in situ from the condensation of 2,3-diaminophenol with o-vanillin or 5-bromo-3-methoxybenzaldehyde, to give the d-block "complex ligand" [Zn(HL 1 )(py)] or [ZN(HL 2 ), respectively as discussed by the authors.

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.
