Abstract

The luminescence of lanthanide ions makes them interesting for a wide variety of applications and several researchers try to optimize this property. In this paper we give a brief overview of the luminescence process and of the techniques utilized to characterize the photophysical properties. Several recent examples of luminescent complexes with small molecule sensitizers will also be discussed.
