Abstract
This critical review mainly focuses on recent research progress in photofunctional lanthanide hybrid materials The review covers hybrids with complexes of organically modified silanes as precursors for sol–gel processing, hybrids with lanthanide complex units grafted onto the interior of mesoporous hosts, hybrids with lanthanide complex units on polymer chains, and other non-silica or composite-based lanthanide hybrids The photophysical properties of lanthanide hybrids are also discussed Finally, future challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed

Interpretation of europium(III) spectra

TL;DR: The trivalent europium ion (Eu3+) is well known for its strong luminescence in the red spectral region, but this ion is also interesting from a theoretical point of view as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

A ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor based on nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) modified by europium(III) complexes.

TL;DR: A new ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor based on postsynthetically modified nanoscale MOF-253 that requires no calibration because only one of the two types of Eu(3+) is affected by the pH variation.

Role of Li+ ion in the luminescence enhancement of lanthanide ions: favorable modifications in host matrices

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight various contributing factors that help in the luminescence enhancement of lanthanide ions in the presence of alkali ions and modify host matrices in such a way that it favors radiative transitions.

Color-Tunable Luminescence of Organoclay-Based Hybrid Materials Showing Potential Applications in White LED and Thermosensors

TL;DR: Luminescent hybrid composites both in the form of powder and transparent film are presented by simply mixing organic sensitizer, aminoclay, and lanthanide in aqueous solution, the emission color of which can be fine-tuned by changing various parameters such as the molar ratio of Eu(3+) to Tb(3+), excitation wavelength, and the temperature.

A lanthanide metal–organic framework (MOF-76) for adsorbing dyes and fluorescence detecting aromatic pollutants

TL;DR: A series of nano-sized lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) which are isostructural with parent MOF-76(Ln) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions as discussed by the authors.

Lanthanide luminescence for functional materials and bio-sciences

TL;DR: 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.
