Synthesis, crystal structure and photoluminescence studies of NIR emitting lanthanide-tetrakis-β-diketonate complexes in the solid state
A. Beena, Lianshe Fu, L. D. Carlos, Luc Van Meervelt, Ignacio Hernández, Silvanose BijuTwo new carbazole-functionalized Er 3+ and Yb 3+ tetrakis-β-diketonate complexes exhibit square-antiprismatic geometry, high thermal and photostability, and long-lived NIR emission at ∼1.0 and ∼1.5 μm, making them promising molecular NIR luminophores.
