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.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
