Photoluminescence in Er(TTA)3(Phen) Thin Film

Crystal structure and near-infrared luminescence properties of novel binuclear erbium and erbium–ytterbium cocrystalline complexes

“…In order to obtain stable lanthanide complexes with better optical properties, most investigations have focused on organic ligands such as diketones, quinolines, phenanthrolines, cryptands, etc. [7][8][9][10][11] Meanwhile, aromatic carboxylic acids, fluorine-containing compounds and heterocyclic ligands are also proving attractive owing to their high thermal and luminescent stabilities. [12][13][14] However, the maximum absorption bands of organic ligands are usually in the ultraviolet or visible region and cannot utilize cheap commercial semiconductor LD as the excitation source.…”
