Abstract

Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Yuichi Kitagawa, Yasuchika Hasegawa, Tetsuya Taketsugu, and co-workers at Hokkaido University. The cover picture shows a photosensitizer that has a long excited-state lifetime and provides strong emissions for Tb^III coordination polymers. The photosensitization ability can be considerably altered by changing the ancillary ligands in the Tb^III coordination polymers. The results provide new insights on the design of photosensitizers for improving the properties of photo-functional materials. More information can be found in the Research Article by Y. Kitagawa, Y. Hasegawa, and co-workers.
