Sensitised luminescence in lanthanide containing arrays and d-f hybrids.
TLDR
The routes by which lanthanide arrays and polymetallic d-f hybrids can be prepared by conventional synthesis and self-assembly are discussed and the possibilities for exploiting and evaluating the intermediates in the sensitisation process are evaluated, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms of energy transfer.Abstract:
Sensitised luminescence from lanthanide complexes offers many potential advantages in imaging and assay, particularly when coupled with time-gating protocols that can be used to gate out background signal. In this perspective, we discuss the routes by which lanthanide arrays and polymetallic d–f hybrids can be prepared by conventional synthesis and self-assembly, and discuss and evaluate the possibilities for exploiting and evaluating the intermediates in the sensitisation process, with particular emphasis on the mechanisms of energy transfer.read more

On the design of highly luminescent lanthanide complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the design of highly luminescent lanthanide complexes is presented, where the authors discuss all aspects needing optimization, including the various energy migration processes in luminescence sensitization by organic ligands, minimizing non-radiative deactivation mechanisms, as well as other parameters such as the radiative lifetime, the refractive index, and the benefit of inserting luminecent complexes into inorganic-hybrid structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the resonance theory of Forster, which involves only allowed transitions, is extended to include transfer by means of forbidden transitions which, it is concluded, are responsible for the transfer in all inorganic systems yet investigated.
