“…Once incorporated in polystyrene, 105 showed an excitation maximum at 283 nm, an emission maximum at 501 nm and nonmonoexponential decay curves with a short and a long lifetime components of 3.1and 12.2 μs, respectively. Europium(III) complexes, thanks to their strong luminescence which is attributed to the 4f-4f transitions, have been widely applied in optical amplification, light conversion molecular devices, OLEDs, and their luminescence properties have been exploited for oxygen sensing [260]. Very narrow luminescence bands are of particular interest for oxygen sensing because of the potential for multiplexing applications where emission of other probes or labels can be used in different spectral windows.…”
