Intra-cluster energy transfer editing in a dual-emitting system to tap into lifetime thermometry

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Nov 16;59(92):13715-13718. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03658h.

Abstract

The impact of composition control and energy transfer on luminescence thermometry was investigated in a TbIII/EuIII dual-emitting molecular cluster-aggregate, known as {Ln20}. The study of lifetime dynamics sheds new light on how one can take advantage of rational planning to enhance thermometric performance and gaining insights into intriguing optical properties.
