Abstract
The rational engineering of molecules is a powerful chemistry tool of pivotal importance in the fields of molecular magnetism and luminescence. Hence, systems that can be modulated via molecular engineering and composition control are expected to present extra versatility regarding the tunability of their properties. This is the case with molecular cluster aggregates (MCAs), high nuclearity molecular compounds. Herein, we demonstrate how the union of both strategies, namely, composition control and molecular engineering, can be employed to enhance molecular upconversion in MCAs. This was achieved by doping a {Gd8Er2Yb10} MCA with CeIII ions. By replacement of the optically silent GdIII ions with CeIII, the upconversion mechanism is modified due to CeIII-mediated cross-relaxation. In addition to this effect, we could also engineer the degree of metal site distortion due to the larger size of CeIII ions, relaxing the selection rules and impacting the upconversion quantum yield and luminescent thermometry. Opto-structural correlations demonstrate that the presented molecular engineering strategy can be used to enhance the performance of molecular upconverters.

Abstract
The structure of molecular systems dictates the physical properties, and symmetry is the determining factor for all electronic properties. This makes group theory a powerful tool in quantum mechanics to compute molecular properties. For inorganic compounds, the coordination geometry has been estimated as idealized polyhedra with high symmetry, which, through ligand field theory, provides predictive capabilities. However, real samples rarely have ideal symmetry, and although continuous shape measures (CShM) can be used to evaluate deviation from an ideal reference structure σideal, this often fails for lanthanide(III) complexes with high coordination numbers, no obvious choice of principal axes, and no obvious reference structure. In lanthanide complexes, the unique electronic structures and associated properties are intricately tied to the symmetry around the lanthanide center. Therefore, robust methodologies to evaluate and estimate point group symmetry are instrumental for building structure-property relationships. Here, we have demonstrated an algorithmic approach that orients a molecular structure Q in the best possible way to the symmetry axis of any given point group G and computes a deviation from the ideal symmetry σsym(G,Q). This approach does not compute the deviation from an ideal reference system, but the intrinsic deviation in the structure induced by symmetry operations. If the structure contains the symmetry operation, there is no deviation and σsym(G,Q) = 0. The σsym deviation is generated from all of the symmetry operation ÔS in a point group G using the most correct orientation of the sample structure in each group G. The best orientation is found by an algorithm that minimizes the orientation of the structure with respect to G. To demonstrate the methodology, we have investigated the structure and symmetry of 8- and 9-coordinated lanthanide(III) aqua complexes and correlated the luminescence from 3 europium(III) crystals to their actual symmetry. To document the methodology, the approach has been tested on 26 molecules with different symmetries. It was concluded that the method is robust and fully autonomous.

Abstract
Lanthanide luminescence is characterised by "forbidden" 4f-4f transitions and a complicated electronic structure. Our understanding of trivalent lanthanide(III) ion luminescence is centered on Eu3+ because absorbing and emitting transitions in Eu3+ occur from a single electronic energy level. In Sm3+ both absorbing and emitting multiplets have a larger multiplicity. A band arising in transitions from the first emitting state multiplet to the ground state multiplet will have nine lines for a Sm3+ complex. In this study, high-resolution emission and excitation spectra were used to determine the electronic energy levels for the lowest multiplet and first emitting multiplet in four Sm3+ compounds with either tricapped trigonal prismatic TTP or capped square antiprismatic cSAP coordination polyhedra but different site symmetry. This was achieved by the use of Boltzmann distribution population analysis and experimentally determined transition probabilities from emission and excitation spectra. Using this analysis it was possible to show the effect of changing three oxygen atoms with three nitrogen atoms in the donor set for two compounds with the same coordination polyhedra and site symmetry. This work celebrates the 40th anniversary of Kirby and Richardson's first report of [Eu(ODA)3]3- luminescence.

Abstract
Narrow band red-emitting phosphors are significant constituents but still a bottleneck for next-generation smart displays and high-performance lighting (solid-state lighting based white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs)) technology. This review emphasizes the fundamental understanding and comprehensive overview of the recent progress and challenges associated with inorganic phosphors or down (wavelength) convertors, providing special attention to narrowband red-emitting oxide phosphors for phosphor-converted WLEDs (pc-WLEDs). In this context, the comprehensive progress on trivalent europium (Eu3+, in scheelite and double perovskite structures) based oxide phosphors with special emphasis on structure-composition-property-correlations is briefly reviewed. Furthermore, the challenges faced in the design of new oxide red phosphors and strategies to improve their absorption, emission efficiency, and future research direction are highlighted.

Abstract
Polyanion-type phosphate materials, such as M3 V2 (PO4 )3 (M = Li/Na/K), are promising as insertion-type negative electrodes for monovalent-ion batteries including Li/Na/K-ion batteries (lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), and potassium-ion batteries (PIBs)) with fast charging/discharging and distinct redox peaks. However, it remains a great challenge to understand the reaction mechanism of materials upon monovalent-ion insertion. Here, triclinic Mg3 V4 (PO4 )6 /carbon composite (MgVP/C) with high thermal stability is synthesized via ball-milling and carbon-thermal reduction method and applied as a pseudocapacitive negative electrode in LIBs, SIBs, and PIBs. In operando and ex situ studies demonstrate the guest ion-dependent reaction mechanisms of MgVP/C upon monovalent-ion storage due to different sizes. MgVP/C undergoes an indirect conversion reaction to form Mg0 , V0 , and Li3 PO4 in LIBs, while in SIBs/PIBs the material only experiences a solid solution with the reduction of V3+ to V2+ . Moreover, in LIBs, MgVP/C delivers initial lithiation/delithiation capacities of 961/607 mAh g-1 (30/19 Li+ ions) for the first cycle, despite its low initial Coulombic efficiency, fast capacity decay for the first 200 cycles, and limited reversible insertion/deinsertion of 2 Na+ /K+ ions in SIBs/PIBs. This work reveals a new pseudocapacitive material and provides an advanced understanding of polyanion phosphate negative material for monovalent-ion batteries with guest ion-dependent energy storage mechanisms.

Abstract
Rare-earth ion doped crystals are of great significance for microsensing and quantum information, while the ions in the crystals emit light with spontaneous partial polarization, which is, though believed to be originated from the crystal lattice structure, still lacking a deterministic explanation that can be tested with quantitative accuracy. We report experimental evidence showing the profound physical relation between the polarization degree of light emitted by the doped ion and the lattice symmetry by demonstrating, with high precision, that the lattice constant ratio c/a directly quantifies the macroscopic effective polar angle of the electric and magnetic dipoles, which essentially determines the linear polarization degree of the emission. Based on this result, we further propose a pure optical technology to identify the three-dimensional orientation of a rod-shaped single microcrystal using the polarization-resolved microspectroscopy. Our results, demonstrating the physical origin of light polarization in ion-doped crystals, allow work toward on-demand polarization control with crystallography and provide a versatile platform for polarization-based microscale sensing in dynamical systems.

Abstract
Eu3+-doped YxLu1−xNbO4 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. YNbO4:Eu3+ and LuNbO4:Eu3+ crystallize as beta-Fergusonite (SG no. 15) in 1–10 μm diameter particles. Photoluminescence emission spectra show a slight linear variation of emission energies and intensities with the solid-solution composition in terms of Y/Lu content. The energy difference between Stark sublevels of 5D0→7F1 emission increases, while the asymmetry ratio decreases with the composition. From the dispersion relations of pure YNbO4 and LuNbO4, the refractive index values for each concentration and emission wavelength are estimated. The Ω2 Judd–Ofelt parameter shows a linear increase from 6.75 to 7.48 × 10−20 cm2 from x = 0 to 1, respectively, and Ω4 from 2.69 to 2.95 × 10−20 cm2. The lowest non-radiative deexcitation rate was observed with x = 1, and thus LuNbO4:Eu3+ is more efficient phosphor than YNbO4:Eu3+.

Abstract
Upon the interaction of the hydrated lanthanide(III) salts found in acetonitrile solution with a tripodal paramagnetic compound, 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidine-3-oxyl (Rad), functionalized by two pyridyl groups, three neutral, structurally characterized complexes with diamagnetic polydentate ligands—[Dy(RadH)(hbpm)Cl2], [Yb2(ipapm)2(NO3)4], and [Ce2(ipapm)2(NO3)4(EtOAc)2]—were obtained. These coordination compounds are minor uncolored crystalline products, which were formed in a reaction mixture due to the Rad transformation in a lanthanide coordination sphere, wherein the processes of its simultaneous disproportionation, hydrolysis, and condensation proceed differently than in the absence of Ln ions. The latter fact was confirmed by the formation of the structurally characterized product of the oxazolidine nitroxide transformation during its crystallization in toluene solution. Such a conversion in the presence of 4f elements ions is unique since no similar phenomenon was observed during the synthesis of the 3d-metal complexes with Rad.

Abstract
Enhanced 'Antenna effect' of a suitably designed ternary complex of Eu(III), Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) and globular proteins viz bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and β-lactoglobulin A (BLGA) in aqueous medium is employed to characterize the different partially unfolded states along with investigation of the micro- heterogeneous environment of the proteins during their stepwise unfolding. The zone-wise perturbation for the proteins upon denaturation by Urea and Guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn. HCl) is followed by the emission of Eu(III) through 'Antenna Effect' and that of the tryptophan (Trp) residues of the proteins as a function of denaturants both by steady state and time resolved emission study. With Gdn. HCl as denaturant, both BSA and BLGA show quenching of Eu(III) emission compared to pure protein while HSA exhibits an enhancement of antenna effect during unfolding as compared to that in its absence. In the presence of Urea, HSA and BSA show enhancement of antenna effect accompanied by Stark splitting of the 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu(III) although BLGA follows the similar pattern of quenching of Eu(III) emission as observed with Gdn. HCl without any Stark splitting. The proteins exhibit a two state transition with ΔGD values of ~ 2-3 kcal mol-1. Thus the use of Eu(III) emission as an efficient probe is advocating here to rationalize the microenvironment of the proteins during their stepwise unfolding.

Abstract
The imagination of clearly separated core-shell structures is already outdated by the fact, that the nanoparticle core-shell structures remain in terms of efficiency behind their respective bulk material due to intermixing between core and shell dopant ions. In order to optimize the photoluminescence of core-shell UCNP the intermixing should be as small as possible and therefore, key parameters of this process need to be identified. In the present work the Ln(III) ion migration in the host lattices NaYF4 and NaGdF4 was monitored. These investigations have been performed by laser spectroscopy with help of lanthanide resonance energy transfer (LRET) between Eu(III) as donor and Pr(III) or Nd(III) as acceptor. The LRET is evaluated based on the Förster theory. The findings corroborate the literature and point out the migration of ions in the host lattices. Based on the introduced LRET model, the acceptor concentration in the surrounding of one donor depends clearly on the design of the applied core-shell-shell nanoparticles. In general, thinner intermediate insulating shells lead to higher acceptor concentration, stronger quenching of the Eu(III) donor and subsequently stronger sensitization of the Pr(III) or the Nd(III) acceptors. The choice of the host lattice as well as of the synthesis temperature are parameters to be considered for the intermixing process.

Abstract
We have investigated the interaction of the actinide Cm(III) and its lanthanide homologue Eu(III) with cells of Brassica napus in suspension. This study combines biochemical techniques (plant cell response) with spectroscopic experiments to determine the chemical speciation of hazardous metals in contact with the plant cells. Experiments conducted over a period of 7 d showed that B. napus cells were able to bioassociate both potentially toxic metals in significant amounts up to 0.58 µmol Eu/gfresh cells and 1.82 µmol Cm/gfresh cells at 30 µM Eu(III) and 0.68 µM Cm(III), respectively. For Cm(III), a biosorption process could be identified as soon as 5 h post-exposure with 73 ± 4% of the Cm(III) bioassociated. Luminescence spectroscopy results based on UV and site-selective excitation confirmed the existence of three Cm(III)/Eu(III) [M(III)] species in both the supernatants and cells. The findings detailed herein support that M(III) coordinates to two kinds of carboxyl groups and phosphate groups.

Abstract
The Eu-doped K0.5Na0.5NbO3 pellucid ceramics were first prepared via a conventional solid-state reaction, and they exhibited light illumination-induced high-contrast photochromism of both optical transmittance and photoluminescence behaviors. Through thermal treatment, the optical performances could return to their initial states and displayed excellent reversibility. Eu3+ ions were selected as the luminescent activator for detecting the local environment of the K0.5Na0.5NbO3 host. Meanwhile, the effects of the amount of Eu3+ present on phase structures, microstructures, optical transmittance and photoluminescence intensities were systematically investigated. The results suggest that Eu-doped K0.5Na0.5NbO3 transparent ceramics possess multifunctionality including photochromism, photoluminescence and optical switching properties, and that they exhibit promising potential for non-destructive optical data storage application.

Measuring 3D orientation of nanocrystals via polarized luminescence of rare-earth dopants. Nat Commun 2021; 12:1943.

Abstract
Orientation of nanoscale objects can be measured by examining the polarized emission of optical probes. To retrieve a three-dimensional (3D) orientation, it has been essential to observe the probe (a dipole) along multiple viewing angles and scan with a rotating analyzer. However, this method requires a sophisticated optical setup and is subject to various external sources of error. Here, we present a fundamentally different approach employing coupled multiple emission dipoles that are inherent in lanthanide-doped phosphors. Simultaneous observation of different dipoles and comparison of their relative intensities allow to determine the 3D orientation from a single viewing angle. Moreover, the distinct natures of electric and magnetic dipoles originating in lanthanide luminescence enable an instant orientation analysis with a single-shot emission spectrum. We demonstrate a straightforward orientation analysis of Eu3+-doped NaYF4 nanocrystals using a conventional fluorescence microscope. Direct imaging of the rod-shaped nanocrystals proved the high accuracy of the measurement. This methodology would provide insights into the mechanical behaviors of various nano- and biomolecular systems. Determining the orientation of nanoscale objects in three-dimensional space has typically required complicated optical setups. Here, the authors develop a simple method to retrieve the 3D orientation of luminescent, lanthanide-doped nanorods from a single-shot emission spectrum.

Abstract
The indispensable broad-band red phosphors for LED lighting generally show a long emission tail for wavelengths longer than 650 nm, which consumes excitation energy but contributes little luminance. Here, we report, for the first time, a broad red emission band with a steep falling edge at 652 nm, formed of widely distributed 1D2 → 3H4 emission lines of Pr3+ in Y3Si6N11 due to a large Stark splitting of the 3H4 (930 cm-1) and 1D2 (725 cm-1) levels. The red emission exhibits a 43 nm bandwidth, which is the widest in Pr3+-doped phosphors reported so far. The red Y3Si6N11:Pr3+ phosphor was applied for the fabrication of 310 nm UV chip-based white LEDs, and a high color rendering index of 96 at a low correlated color temperature of 4188 K was achieved. Furthermore, a temperature-sensing scheme was proposed based on the temperature-dependent intensity ratios of the emission lines from the thermally coupled and large Stark splitting levels of the 1D2 state. Relative sensitivities as a function of temperature were studied in the range of 93-473 K. The findings of this study indicate that Y3Si6N11:Pr3+ is an attractive broad-band red phosphor for both high color rendering white LEDs and temperature sensing applications.

Abstract
A series of isomorphous mononuclear complexes of Ln(III) ions comprising one stable tripodal oxazolidine nitroxyl radical were obtained in acetonitrile media starting from nitrates. The compounds, [LnRad(NO3)3] (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy, Tm, Y; Rad = 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidine-3-oxyl), have a molecular structure. Their coordination polyhedron, LnO7N2, can be described as a tricapped trigonal prism with symmetry not far from D3h. The extracted value of 23 cm-1 for the antiferromagnetic coupling of Gd-Rad established from the DC magnetic and EPR data is a record strength for the complexes of 4f elements with nitroxyl radicals. The terbium derivative displays frequency-dependent out-of-phase signals in zero field, indicating single-molecule magnetic behavior. With an applied field of 0.1 T, an effective barrier of 57 cm-1 is found.

Abstract
A series of five neutral mononuclear lanthanide complexes [Ln(HL)(L)] (Ln = Dy3+, Ho3+ Er3+ and Tb3+) with rigid pentadentate N3O2-type Schiff base ligands, H2LH (1-Dy, 3-Ho, 4-Er and 6-Tb complexes) or H2LOCH3, (2-Dy complex) has been synthesized by reaction of two equivalents of 1,1′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene))dibenzohydrazine (H2LH, [H2DAPBH]) or 1,1′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(ethan-1-yl-1-ylidene))di-4-methoxybenzohydrazine (H2LOCH3, [H2DAPMBH]) with common lanthanide salts. The terbium complex [Tb(LH)(NO3)(H2O)2](DME)2 (5-Tb) with one ligand H2LH was also obtained and characterized. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that complexes 1–4 have the composition {[Ln3+(HL)−(L)2−] solv} and similar molecular structures. In all the compounds, the central Ln3+ ion is chelated by two interlocked pentadentate ligands resulting in the coordination number of ten. Each lanthanide ion is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms and four oxygen atoms of the two N3O2 chelating groups forming together a distorted bicapped square antiprismatic polyhedron N6O4 with two capping pyridyl N atoms in the apical positions. The ac magnetic measurements reveal field-induced single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior of the two dysprosium complexes (with barriers of Ueff = 29 K at 800 Oe in 1-Dy and Ueff = 70 K at 300 Oe in 2-Dy) and erbium complex (Ueff = 87 K at 1500 Oe in 4-Er); complex 3-Ho with a non-Kramers Ho3+ ion is SMM-silent. Although 2-Dy differs from 1-Dy only by a distant methoxy-group in the phenyl ring of the ligand, their dynamic magnetic properties are markedly different. This feature can be due to the difference in long-range contributions (beyond the first coordination sphere) to the crystal-field (CF) potential of 4f electrons of Dy3+ ion that affects magnetic characteristics of the ground and excited CF states. Magnetic behavior and the electronic structure of Ln3+ ions of 1–4 complexes are analyzed in terms of CF calculations.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and magnetic properties of eight neutral functionalized trigonal lanthanide coordination complexes LnL with Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), Er (5), Tm (6), Yb (7), Lu (8). These were prepared through a one-pot synthesis where, first, the ligand H3L was synthesized in situ through a Schiff base reaction of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine with 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol. Following addition of Ln(OTf)3·xH2O and base, LnL was obtained. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms that all complexes are isostructural. LnL contain pendant, noncoordinating carbonyl functions that are reactive and represent direct anchoring points to appropriately functionalized surfaces. Furthermore, these reactive carbonyl functions can be used to postfunctionalize LnL: for example, with aromatic π systems. We present herein the Schiff base condensation of 7 with benzylamine to yield 9 as well as the characterization and magnetic properties of 9. Our study establishes LnL as a truly versatile module for the surface deposition of Ln-based single-ion magnets.

Abstract
Complexes of lanthanide(III) ions are being actively studied because of their unique ground and excited state properties and the associated optical and magnetic behavior. In particular, they are used as emissive probes in optical spectroscopy and microscopy and as contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the design of new complexes with specific optical and magnetic properties requires a thorough understanding of the correlation between molecular structure and electric and magnetic susceptibilities, as well as their anisotropies. The traditional Judd-Ofelt-Mason theory has failed to offer useful guidelines for systematic design of emissive lanthanide optical probes. Similarly, Bleaney's theory of magnetic anisotropy and its modifications fail to provide accurate detail that permits new paramagnetic shift reagents to be designed rather than discovered.A key determinant of optical and magnetic behavior in f-element compounds is the ligand field, often considered as an electrostatic field at the lanthanide created by the ligands. The resulting energy level splitting is a sensitive function of several factors: the nature and polarizability of the whole ligand and its donor atoms; the geometric details of the coordination polyhedron; the presence and extent of solvent interactions; specific hydrogen bonding effects on donor atoms and the degree of supramolecular order in the system. The relative importance of these factors can vary widely for different lanthanide ions and ligands. For nuclear magnetic properties, it is both the ligand field splitting and the magnetic susceptibility tensor, notably its anisotropy, that determine paramagnetic shifts and nuclear relaxation enhancement.We review the factors that control the ligand field in lanthanide complexes and link these to aspects of their utility in magnetic resonance and optical emission spectroscopy and imaging. We examine recent progress in this area particularly in the theory of paramagnetic chemical shift and relaxation enhancement, where some long-neglected effects of zero-field splitting, magnetic susceptibility anisotropy, and spatial distribution of lanthanide tags have been accommodated in an elegant way.

Abstract
Cation substitution is a common strategy to tune the luminescence by modulating the cell parameter, polyhedral volume and bond length in solid-solution-type phosphors. Generally a close correlation between their cationic composition and spectral peak shifts can be observed. In certain compounds, however, luminescence tuning by cationic modification is almost invalid. This work is devoted to providing a reasonable explanation for the anomaly in Ce3+ doped La3Si6N11, which demonstrates unshifted excitation peaks with various cation substitutions. By simplifying the local coordination polyhedron that accommodates Ce3+ to a truncated square pyramid model, the quantitative crystal-field calculations are conducted to demonstrate the influences of the coordination environment on energy levels. The results show that the crystal-field levels become insensitive to this special type of ligand environment, leading to imperceptible peak shifts. Therefore, the relationship between the cationic composition and luminescence is determined not only by the ionic radii but also by the type of coordination polyhedron. This work shows that studying the coordination environment is helpful for achieving effective luminescence tuning.

Abstract
Anionic substitution is attracting research interest as a property modulation strategy. Although the effect of nitrogen incorporation on luminescence tuning has been widely reported, the correlation between dodecahedral expansion on Si4+-N3- co-substitution and crystal-field splitting of Ce3+ in garnets is rarely discussed. This work is devoted to unraveling the structure-property relationship between anionic substitution and spectroscopy tuning. Ligand movement patterns of a dodecahedron and an octahedron are investigated for tetragonal distortion and inter-facial distance, both of which indicate an energy level shift originating from the crystal-field effect. The quantitative crystal-field calculation is performed on the basis of ligand coordinates to derive the analytical expression for further confirmation. This work complements the substitution effects of both cationic and anionic chemical species on spectral tuning in garnets, and will be helpful in material design and property modulation of garnet-based luminescent materials.

Abstract
The syntheses, structure and magnetic properties are reported for five novel 1D polymeric azido-bridged lanthanide complexes with the general formula {[Ln(DAPMBH)(N3)C2H5OH]C2H5OH}n where H2DAPMBH = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(4-methoxybenzoylhydrazone)-a new pentadentate pyridine-base [N3O2] ligand and Ln = Dy (1), Y0.930Dy0.070 (2), Er (3), Y0.923Er0.077 (4), and Gd (5). X-ray diffraction analysis of 1-5 show that the central lanthanide atoms are eight-coordinated with the N5O3 donor set originating from the ligand DAPMBH, one coordinated ethanol molecule and two end-to-end type N3- bridges connecting the metal centers into infinite chain. The [LnN5O3] coordination polyhedron can be regarded as a distorted dodecahedron (D2d). AC magnetic measurements revealed that compounds 1-4 show field-induced single-molecule magnet behavior, with estimated energy barriers Ueff ≈ 47-17 K. The experimental study of magnetic properties was complemented by theoretical analysis based on crystal-field calculations. Direct current magnetic susceptibility studies revealed marginally weak intrachain exchange interaction between Ln3+ ions mediated by the end-to-end azide bridging groups (J ≈ -0.015 cm-1 for 5). Comparative analysis of static and dynamic magnetic properties of magnetically concentrated (1, 3) and diluted (2, 4) Dy and Er compounds showed that, despite fascinating 1D azido-bridged chain structure, compounds 1 and 3 are not single-chain magnets; their magnetic behavior is largely due to single-ion magnetic anisotropy of individual Ln3+ ions.

Abstract
An unprecedented cyclic TbIII-radical cluster, [Tb3(hfac)6(4-Me-3-NITtrz)2(OH)3] (1), has been self-assembled from Tb(hfac)3·2H2O and 4-Me-3-NITtrz in the presence of Cu(hfac)2·2H2O. Alternating-current magnetic studies show that the Tb3 cluster displays a dual slow relaxation of magnetization behavior under a zero direct-current (dc) field and a single relaxation process under an induced dc field with an effective energy barrier of 14 K, representing the first triangle 2p-4f cluster with a slow magnetic relaxation property.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are widely investigated for their optical properties. However, the sensitivity of the lanthanide ions’ luminescence to the local symmetry, useful when investigating structural environments, becomes a drawback for optimized properties in the case of poorly controlled crystallinity. In this paper, we focus on β-NaYF4 nanorods in order to provide a detailed description of their chemical composition and microstructure. The combination of detailed XRD analysis and TEM observations show that strong variation may be observed from particles from a same batch of synthesis, but also when considering small variations of synthesis conditions. Moreover, also the nanorods observed by SEM exhibit a very nice faceted shape, they are far from being monocrystalline and present significant local deviation of crystalline symmetry and orientation. All these structural considerations, sensitively probed by polarized emission analysis, are crucial to analyze for the development of optimal systems toward the targeted applications.

Abstract
Combination of three radical anionic Ph-BIAN ligands (Ph-BIAN=bis-(phenylimino)-acenaphthenequinone) with lanthanoid ions leads to a series of homoleptic, six-coordinate complexes of the type Ln(Ph-BIAN)3 . Magnetic coupling data were measured by paramagnetic solution NMR spectroscopy. Combining 1 H NMR with 2 H NMR of partially deuterated compounds allowed a detailed study of the magnetic susceptibility anisotropies over a large temperature range. The observed chemical shifts were separated into ligand- and metal-centered contributions by comparison with the Y analogue (diamagnetic at the metal). The metal-centered contributions of the complexes with the paramagnetic ions could then be separated into pseudocontact and Fermi contact shifts. The latter is large within the Ph-BIAN scaffold, which shows that magnetic coupling is significant between the lanthanide ion and the radical ligand. Pseudocontact shifts were further correlated to structural data obtained from X-ray diffraction experiments. Ligand-field parameters were determined by fitting the temperature dependence of the observed magnetic susceptibility anisotropies. The electronic structure determined by this approach shows, that the Er and Tm analogues are candidates for single molecule magnets (SMM). These results demonstrate the possibilities for the application of NMR spectroscopy in investigations of paramagnetic systems in general and single molecule magnets in particular.

Abstract
We present the in-depth determination of the magnetic properties and electronic structure of the luminescent and volatile dysprosium-based single molecule magnet [Dy2(bpm)(fod)6] (Hfod = 6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedione, bpm = 2,2'-bipyrimidine). Ab initio calculations were used to obtain a global picture of the electronic structure and to predict possible single molecule magnet behaviour, confirmed by experiments. The orientation of the susceptibility tensor was determined by means of cantilever torque magnetometry. An experimental determination of the electronic structure of the lanthanide ion was obtained combining Luminescence, Far Infrared and Magnetic Circular Dichroism spectroscopies. Fitting these energies to the full single ion plus crystal field Hamiltonian allowed determination of the eigenstates and crystal field parameters of a lanthanide complex without symmetry idealization. We then discuss the impact of a stepwise symmetry idealization on the modelling of the experimental data. This result is particularly important in view of the misleading outcomes that are often obtained when the symmetry of lanthanide complexes is idealized.

Abstract
In the present work, the structural and optical properties of borotellurite glasses co-doped with Dy3+ ions and Ag nanoparticles were investigated. From HR-TEM analysis, the average Ag nanoparticle diameter was calculated as 13.7 ± 1 nm. The negative sign of the bonding parameter explored the ionic nature of metal-ligand (DyO) bonds. The emission spectra exhibited three emission bands in blue, yellow and red regions corresponding to 4F9/2 → 6H15/2, 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 and 4F9/2 → 6H11/2 transitions, respectively. The Yellow/Blue (Y/B) ratio of optimal BTD0.5A glass was found to be 1.881 and this low Y/B ratio indicated the fact that Dy3+ ions were located in higher symmetrical ligand environment. The CCT values are found to vary from 3717 to 3800 K and hence the present glasses may emit cool white light when excited with UV lamp. The radiative parameters were calculated for all the emission transitions by using JO theory. The decay curves are found to show non-exponential behavior for all the studied glasses. The obtained results were discussed in detail and compared with similar reported glasses.

Abstract
Lanthanide elements exhibit highly appealing spectroscopic properties that are extensively used for phosphor applications. Their luminescence contains precise information on the internal structure of the host materials. Especially, the polarization behavior of the transition sublevel peaks is a fingerprint of the crystal phase, symmetry, and defects. However, this unique feature is poorly explored in current research on lanthanide nanophosphors. We here report on a detailed investigation of the evolution of Eu3+ luminescence during the thermally induced phase transition of LaPO4 nanocrystal hosts. By means of c-axis-aligned nanocrystal assemblies, we demonstrate a dramatic change of the emission polarization feature corresponding to the distinct Eu3+ site symmetries in different LaPO4 polymorphs. We also show that changes of the nanocrystal structure can be identified by this spectroscopic method, with a much higher sensitivity than the X-ray diffraction analysis. This new insight into the nanostructure-luminescence relationship, associated with the unprecedented polarization characterizations, provides a new methodology to investigate phase transitions in nanomaterials. It also suggests a novel function of lanthanide emitters as orientation-sensing nanoprobes for innovative applications such as in bioimaging or microfluidics.

Abstract
A method for the experimental determination of ligand-field (LF) energy splitting in mononuclear lanthanide complexes, based purely on variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy, was developed. The application of this method in an isostructural series of anionic lanthanide bis(cyclooctatetraenide) double-decker compounds bearing large rigid substituents is demonstrated. Using the three-nuclei plot approach devised by Reilley, the isostructurality of the compound series and the identical orientation of the magnetic main axis of all Ln3+ ions in the series Tb3+ to Tm3+ are demonstrated. Measurement of the 2H NMR spectra of partially deuterated analogues of the complexes permitted determination of the axial magnetic susceptibility anisotropies χax for all five ions in the temperature range from 185 to 335 K. For this purpose, analysis of the hyperfine shifts was combined with structural models derived from density functional theory calculations. In a final step, the temperature dependence of the χax values was used for determination of the three axial LF parameters, adapting a method employed previously for phthalocyanine-based systems. The temperature dependence dictated by the LF parameters determined by this NMR-based approach is compared to the results of recently published ab initio calculations of the system, indicating reasonable agreement of both methods. For all ions except Dy3+, the NMR method determines the same mJ ground state as the calculations and the order and energies of the excited states match well. However, the sign of the magnetic anisotropy of the dysprosium complex in the temperature range evaluated here is not correctly predicted by the published calculations but can be described accurately by the NMR approach. This shows that our experimental method for determination of the LF parameters is an ideal complementation to other theoretical and experimental methods.
