Luminescence of Lanthanide Ions in Coordination Compounds and Nanomaterials

Beschreibung

This comprehensive book presents the theoretical principles,current applications and latest research developments in the fieldof luminescent lanthanide complexes; a rapidly developing area ofresearch which is attracting increasing interest amongst thescientific community.

Luminescence of Lanthanide Ions in Coordination Compounds andNanomaterials begins with an introduction to the basic theoreticaland practical aspects of lanthanide ion luminescence, and thespectroscopic techniques used to evaluate the efficiency ofluminescence. Subsequent chapters introduce a variety of differentapplications including:

- Circularly polarized luminescence
- Luminescence bioimaging with lanthanidecomplexes
- Two-photon absorption of lanthanide complexes
- Chemosensors
- Upconversion luminescence
- Excitation spectroscopy
- Heterometallic complexes containing lanthanides

Each chapter presents a detailed introduction to theapplication, followed by a description of experimental techniquesspecific to the area and an extensive review of recentliterature.

This book is a valuable introduction to the literature forscientists new to the field, as well as providing the moreexperienced researcher with a comprehensive resource covering themost relevant information in the field; a 'one stopshop' for all key references.

Autor

Professor Ana de Bettencourt-Dias, University of Nevada, Inorganic and Materials Chemistry Professor de Bettencourt-Dias' research interests lie in the development of new ligands (particularly organic and transition metal complexes) for highly emissive lanthanide ion complexes. She first became active in the field of the luminescent lanthanide ions in 2001 when she took her first academic position at Sycrause University, and her publications in this area include two well-received review articles which have been cited over 80 times. Professor de Bettencourt-Dias co-organised a symposium on 'Luminescence and Magnetism of Lanthanide-Containing Materials' at the ACS 2010 Fall Meeting, and she is program chair for the 2011 Rare Earth Research Conference. In addition to her research, Professor de Bettencourt-Dias currently teaches classes in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry and Chemistry of the Less Common Elements.
