Fluoride-enhanced lanthanide luminescence and white-light emitting in multifunctional Al3Ln2 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) heteropentanuclear complexes

Multifunctional heteropentanuclear Al(3)Ln(2) (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) clusters with a novel structure exhibit significantly fluoride-enhanced lanthanide emission intensity and lifetime in both solid state and solution as well as unusual white-light emitting for an Al(3)Eu(2) complex.

Diplatinum alkynyl chromophores as sensitisers for lanthanide luminescence in Pt2Ln2 and Pt2Ln4 (Ln = Eu, Nd, Yb) arrays with acetylide-functionalized bipyridine/phenanthroline

Incorporation of diplatinum complex Pt2(micro-dppm)2(bpyC[triple bond]C)4 or Pt2(mu-dppm)2(phenC[triple bond]C)4 with Ln(hfac)3(H2O)2 (Ln = Nd, Eu, Yb) gave a series of Pt2Ln2 and Pt2Ln4 bimetallic arrays, in which the excitation of d(Pt) -->pi*(R-C[triple bond]C) MLCT absorption induces sensitisation of lanthanide luminescence through efficient d --> f energy transfer from Pt(II) alkynyl chromophores.
