1. Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes
Sammanfattning : Luminescence from the trivalent lanthanides is used for detection in biological systems. Lanthanide luminescence is usually sensitized by a light-harvesting organic chromophore (’antenna’). An ideal emitter has an antenna that efficiently transfers energy to the lanthanide, and a ligand that shields the metal from quenching solvent molecules. LÄS MER
2. Unravelling Sensitisation and Quenching Pathways in Lanthanide Luminophores
Sammanfattning : Lanthanide (Ln) ions find use in cellular detection and probing of many analytes, owing to their unique photophysical properties. However, to make the Ln emission efficient, one has to develop a light-harvesting antenna, which is an organic chromophore that absorbs and transfers energy to the Ln. LÄS MER
3. Energy Transfer Processes and Quenching Pathways in Lanthanide Complexes: The Role of Structural Changes
Sammanfattning : Due to their unique magnetic and luminescent properties, trivalent lanthanides (Ln(III)) have been widely utilised in cellular imaging. Ln(III) luminescence is usually sensitized by a light-harvesting ‘antenna’, a chromophore that can transfer the excitation energy to the Ln(III). LÄS MER
4. Development of Novel Hydroporphyrins for Light Harvesting and Sensitising NIR Lanthanide Luminescence
Sammanfattning : Chlorins, as the core structures of chlorophylls, have been extensively studied for harvesting solar energy, fluorescent imaging and photodynamic therapy against cancer. This thesis is concerned with design and synthesis of novel chlorins as antennae for harvesting light and sensitising near infrared lanthanide luminescence. LÄS MER
5. Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks and Hierarchical Porous Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks : Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the synthesis, properties, and applications of two important classes of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs); lanthanide MOFs and hierarchical porous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). The materials have been characterized using a wide range of techniques including diffraction, imaging, various spectroscopic techniques, gas sorption, dynamical light scattering (DLS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
