Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) luminescence and photoacoustic (PA) imaging have attracted increasing attention for the real-time monitoring of biological samples due to high sensitivity, resolution, and pronounced signal detection depth, respectively. For improved contrast, both techniques require imaging agents possessing high absorption in the red-NIR range. Herein, we took advantage of a ternary complex formed with the anionic ytterbium(III) tetrakis(2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) ([Yb(tta)4]-) and the cationic NIR-absorbing chromophore, 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-dicarbocyanine (Cy+), to evaluate its potential to act as a dual-mode NIR luminescence and PA imaging agent. We demonstrated that, upon excitation with red-NIR light, Cy[Yb(tta)4] encapsulated into polystyrene nanoparticles is able to generate both NIR Yb3+ emission and a PA signal in an imaging experiment performed in a tissue-mimicking phantom.

Abstract
The effect of ligands' energy levels on thermal dependence of lanthanide emission was examined to create new molecular nanothermometers. A series of Ln2Ga8L8'L8″ metallacrowns (shorthand Ln2L8'), where Ln = Gd3+, Tb3+, or Sm3+ (H3L' = salicylhydroxamic acid (H3shi), 5-methylsalicylhydroxamic acid (H3mshi), 5-methoxysalicylhydroxamic acid (H3moshi), and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydroxamic acid (H3nha)) and H2L″ = isophthalic acid (H2iph), was synthesized and characterized. Within the series, ligand-centered singlet state (S1) energy levels ranged from 23,300 to 27,800 cm-1, while triplet (T1) energy levels ranged from 18,150 to 21,980 cm-1. We demonstrated that the difference between T1 levels and relevant energies of the excited 4G5/2 level of Sm3+ (17,800 cm-1) and 5D4 level of Tb3+ (20,400 cm-1) is the major parameter controlling thermal dependence of the emission intensity via the back energy transfer mechanism. However, when the energy difference between S1 and T1 levels is small (below 3760 cm-1), the S1 → T1 intersystem crossing (and its reverse, S1 ← T1) mechanism contributes to the thermal behavior of metallacrowns. Both mechanisms affect Ln3+-centered room-temperature quantum yields with values ranging from 2.07(6)% to 31.2(2)% for Tb2L8' and from 0.0267(7)% to 2.27(5)% for Sm2L8'. The maximal thermal dependence varies over a wide thermal range (ca. 150-350 K) based on energy gaps between relevant ligand-based and lanthanide-based electronic states. By mixing Tb2moshi8' with Sm2moshi8' in a 1:1 ratio, an optical thermometer with a relative thermal sensitivity larger than 3%/K at 225 K was created. Other temperature ranges are also accessible with this approach.

Abstract
Drug-loaded liposomes are typical examples of nanomedicines. We show here that doxorubicin, the anti-cancer agent in the liposomal drug Doxil, can sensitize Ytterbium (Yb3+ ) and generate its near-infrared (NIR) emission. When doxorubicin and amphiphilic Yb3+ chelates are incorporated into liposomes, the sensitized emission of Yb3+ is dependent on the integrity of the particles, which can be used to monitor drug release. We also established the first demonstration that the NIR Yb3+ emission signal is observable in living mice following intratumoral injection of the Yb3+ -doxorubicin-liposomes, using a commercial macroscopic setup equipped with a NIR camera.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows one to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Molecular systems, particularly lanthanide(III) complexes, have emerged as an attractive system for application in cellular luminescence imaging due to their long emission lifetimes, high brightness, possibility of controlling the spectroscopic properties at the molecular level, and tailoring of the ligand structure that adds sensing and therapeutic capabilities. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging and lanthanide spectroscopy and discuss selected examples from the recent literature on lanthanide(III) luminescent complexes in cellular luminescence imaging, published in the period 2016-2020. Finally, the challenges and future directions that are pointing for the development of compounds that are capable of executing multiple functions and the use of light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption will be discussed.
