Abstract
Despite the great effort made in recent years on lanthanide-based ratiometric luminescent nanothermometers able to provide temperature measurements in water, their design remains challenging. We report on the synthesis and properties of efficient ratiometric nanothermometers that are based on mesoporous stellate nanoparticles (MSN) of ca. 90 nm functionalized with an acetylacetonate (acac) derivative inside the pores and loaded with β-diketonate-Tb3+/Eu3+ complexes able to work in water, in PBS or in cells. Encapsulating a [(Tb/Eu)9(acac)16(μ3-OH)8(μ4-O)(μ4-OH)] complex (Tb/Eu ratio = 19/1 and 9/1) led to hybrid multifunctionalized nanoparticles exhibiting a Tb3+ and Eu3+ characteristic temperature-dependent luminescence with a high rate Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer. According to theoretical calculations, the modifications of photoluminescence properties and the increase in the pairwise Tb3+-to-Eu3+ energy transfer rate by about 10 times can be rationalized as a change of the coordination number of the Ln3+ sites of the complex from 7 to 8 accompanied by a symmetry evolution from Cs to C4v and a slight shortening of intramolecular Ln3+-Ln3+ distances upon the effect of encapsulation. These nanothermometers operate in the 20-70 °C range with excellent photothermal stability, cyclability and repeatability (>95%), displaying a maximum relative thermal sensitivity of 1.4% °C-1 (at 42.7 °C) in water. Furthermore, they can operate in cells with a thermal sensitivity of 8.6% °C-1 (at 40 °C), keeping in mind that adjusting the calibration for each system is necessary to ensure accurate measurements.

Abstract
The high-performance optical thermometer probes are of great significance in diverse areas; lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) are a promising candidate for luminescence temperature sensing owing to their unique luminescence properties. However, Ln-MOFs have poor maneuverability and stability in complex environments due to the crystallization properties, which then hinder their application scope. In this work, the Tb-MOFs@TGIC composite was successfully prepared using simple covalent crosslinking through uncoordinated -NH2 or COOH on Tb-MOFs reacting with the epoxy groups on TGIC {Tb-MOFs = [Tb2(atpt)3(phen)2(H2O)]n; H2atpt = 2-aminoterephthalic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline monohydrate}. After curing, the fluorescence properties, quantum yield, lifetime, and thermal stability of Tb-MOFs@TGIC were remarkably enhanced. Meanwhile, the obtained Tb-MOFs@TGIC composites exhibit excellent temperature sensing properties in the low-temperature (Sr = 6.17% K-1 at 237 K), physiological temperature (Sr = 4.86% K-1 at 323 K), or high-temperature range (Sr = 3.88% K-1 at 393 K) with high sensitivity. In the temperature sensing process, the sensing mode of single emission changed into double emission for ratiometric thermometry owing to the back energy transfer (BenT) from Tb-MOFs to TGIC linkers, and the BenT process enhanced with the increase of temperature, which further improved the accuracy and sensitivity of temperature sensing. Most notably, the temperature-sensing Tb-MOFs@TGIC can be easily coated on the surface of polyimide (PI), glass plate, silicon pellet (SI), and poly(tetrafluoroethylene) plate (PTFE) substrates by a simple spraying method, which also exhibited an excellent sensing property, making it applicable for a wider T range measurement. This is the first example of a postsynthetic Ln-MOF hybrid thermometer operative over a wide temperature range including the physiological and high temperature based on back energy transfer.

Abstract
Temperature is an important physical parameter and plays a significant role in scientific research, the detection of which cannot be too crucial to study. In order to reduce the interference of the external environment on the detection of temperature and improve the accuracy of the detection results, a multi-parameter detection method using several optical signals was proposed. Here, a novel porous metal-organic framework (MOF), Zn-CYMPN, was synthesized and structurally characterized. Then, fluorescent organic dyes, either DPEE or DPEM, were encapsulated into the pores of Zn-CYMPN independently. The successful synthesis of the composites Zn-CYMPN⊃DPEE or Zn-CYMPN⊃DPEM could easily introduce other fluorescent centers into the original material and made it more convenient to realize multi-parameter temperature detection. More specifically, when the temperature changed, the maximum fluorescent emission wavelength (W) and the maximum optical intensity (I) of the Zn-CYMPN⊃DPEE/DPEM both showed good linear responses with temperature over a wide range, indicating that the composites were highly sensitive thermometers with multi-parameter temperature readouts. In addition, the quantum efficiency and thermal stability of the organic dyes, which bother every researcher, were improved as well.
