Walkable Dual Emissions [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2013
AbstractWalkable dual emissions, in which the emission bands of the walker reversibly cross or leave those of the stationary ones depending on temperature and concentration, have been demonstrated in cyclic dimeric lanthanide complexes [Ln(hfac)3(PAnPO2)]2 (Ln = EuIII, TbIII; hfac− = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; PAnPO2 = 9,10-bis(diphenylphosphino ...
