Luminescent properties of scandium and yttrium phosphates are discussed and mechanisms involving their emissions proposed.

The multicomponent reaction between tetronic acid (1), 2-aminoanthracene (2) and aromatic aldehydes (3) and the subsequent addition of DDQ produced a series of naphtho [2,3-f]quinoline lactone derivatives (5) in good yield. ...

The ZnO luminescent properties are strongly influenced by the preparation method and they are principally related to electronic and crystalline structures. This work reports about the correlation among luminescence properties ...

In the search for bright probes emitting in the red-to-near-IR region, in the biological transparency window where the absorption and diffusion of light by tissues and the autofluorescence are strongly reduced, Cr3+-doped ...

The spray-pyrolysis (SP) synthesis technique has been employed to obtain SiO2:Eu3+ and gamma-AlOOH:Eu3+, It was possible to obtain sub-micrometric spherical particles of SiO2 with luminescent Eu3+ ions bonded to the silica ...

Photophysical properties of porphyrins in aqueous solutions are strongly affected by aggregation. One possible solution to this problem is to encapsulate the porphyrin into polymeric spheres, to provide an environment where ...

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of yttrium diphenylphosphinates doped with europium are reported. The purity of all samples was confirmed by carbon and hydrogen micro analysis, thermal analysis, IR vibrational ...

The luminescence properties of solid hydrated lanthanide squarates (Ln2(C4O4)3(H2O) x; x = 8 or 13;Ln3+ = Gd, La, Eu, Tb, Pr) are reported for temperatures down to 4.2K. The luminescence of the squarate group is observed ...
