Ligand Influence Versus Electronic Configuration of d-metal Ion in Determining the Fate of NIR Emission from LnIII Ions: A Case Study with CuII, NiII and ZnII Complexes.
Keyword(s):
Lanthanides (LnIII) are well known for their characteristic emission in the Near-Infrared Region (NIR). However, direct excitation of lanthanides is not feasible as described by Laporte’s parity selection rule. Here,...
