Novel orthogonally arranged Ir(iii) porphyrin-aza-BODIPY conjugates exhibit strong absorbance in the near infrared region and have unusually high singlet oxygen quantum yields, since they act as unique molecules rather than as dyads.
Nanothermometers based on Er3+-to-Yb3+ and Pr3+-to-Yb3+ energy transfer show very high performance in the near-infrared region in the cryogenic temperature regime.
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,...
InP quantum dots (QDs) are considered as the most promising alternative to Cd-based QDs with the lower toxicity and emission spectrum tunability ranging from visible to near-infrared region. Although high-quality...
