Abstract
The captivating allure of lanthanide complexes, known for their NIR emissions, becomes even more mesmerizing when aggregation occurs, enhancing their luminescent properties. This novel property significantly boosts its potential for applications in theranostics, offering new opportunities for advancements. Complexation of Praseodymium (III) with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (dipicH2) led to the formation of transparent green crystals of the 1-D polymer chain of [Pr(dipicH)(dipic)(OH2)2]·4H2O (DPr), which demonstrates this unique aggregation-induced emission in the NIR region. DipicH2 being a versatile ligand offering diverse bridging modes in connecting metal centers, numerous complexes of lanthanides exist, displaying aggregation effects in the visible spectrum. Inspite of vast number of complexes, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of AIE behavior in lanthanide complexes in the NIR-II region, showcasing the potential applications that may emerge for lanthanide-based materials.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
