Lanthanide-based complexes as efficient physiological temperature sensors

Multifunctionality of the [C2mim][Ln(fod)4] series (Ln = Nd–Tm except Pm): magnetic, luminescence and thermochemical studies

“…Nonetheless, in-depth studies of [C 2 mim][Tb(fod) 4 ] ( 5 ) crystals enabled us to get some valuable information. 29 In compound 5 each Tb 3+ ion coordinates with four highly disordered fod − ligands in a relatively ordered {TbO 8 } square antiprismatic coordination sphere (for more details see ref. 29).…”

“…29 In compound 5 each Tb 3+ ion coordinates with four highly disordered fod − ligands in a relatively ordered {TbO 8 } square antiprismatic coordination sphere (for more details see ref. 29). Additionally, it was possible to determine that the shortest distance between the Tb 3+ ions is approximately 10.4 Å with other longer distances ranging between 13 and 19 Å.…”

“…These interesting results led us to study the use of other counterions, namely 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium, [C 2 mim] + . The temperature-responsive ratiometric behaviour of the [C 2 mim][Ln(fod) 4 ] (Ln = Eu 28 and Tb 29 ) compounds, as well as their thermochemistry, was already studied and submitted elsewhere and this report is the extension of the luminescence and thermochemistry studies to the Ln series Nd–Tm (except Pm) and to their magnetic properties. The Eu 3+ and Tb 3+ analogues will be presented here for a better comparison of the thermal properties across the series.…”

The importance, status, and perspectives of hybrid lanthanide-doped upconversion nanothermometers for theranostics

“…Such materials have been explored as nanothermometers for biological applications. 79,[83][84][85] Hybrid PMO-inorganic materials can also become very attractive for developing UC systems. In 2020, Kaczmarek et al presented a This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2022 hybrid PMO structure composed of Er 3+ ,Yb 3+ -doped b-NaGdF 4 , and PMO/mesoporous silica (mSiO 2 ) for Vis and NIR UC with potential for in vivo nanothermometry.…”

New isomeric ancillary ligands and their EuIII complexes: a single component white light emissive phosphor and their applications in red/white smart LEDs, electronic noses, and temperature sensing

“…The alternation in the intensity can be better understood by their corresponding CIE color coordinates. 30…”
