Abstract
Lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are promising for fabricating deep-blue (<460 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs), but their development is plagued by low electroluminescent performance and lead toxicity. Herein, the synthesis of 12 kinds of highly luminescent and eco-friendly deep-blue europium (Eu2+)-doped alkali-metal halides (AX:Eu2+; A = Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+; X = Cl-, Br-, I-) NCs is reported. Through adjustment of the coordination environment, efficient deep-blue emission from Eu-5d → Eu-4f transitions is realized. The representative CsBr:Eu2+ NCs exhibit a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 91.1% at 441 nm with a color coordinate at (0.158, 0.023) matching with the Rec. 2020 blue specification. Electrically driven deep-blue LEDs from CsBr:Eu2+ NCs are demonstrated, achieving a record external quantum efficiency of 3.15% and half-lifetime of ∼1 h, surpassing the reported metal-halide deep-blue NCs-based LEDs. Importantly, large-area LEDs with an emitting area of 12.25 cm2 are realized with uniform emission, representing a milestone toward commercial display applications.

Abstract
Reductive dimerization of fulvenes using low-valent metal precursors is a straightforward one-step approach to access ethylene-bridged metallocenes. This process has so far mainly been employed with fulvenes carrying one or two substituents in the exocyclic position. In this work, a new synthesis of the unsubstituted exocyclic 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylfulvene (1), its full structural characterization by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as some photophysical properties and its first use in reductive dimerization are described. This fulvene reacted with different lanthanoid metals in thf to provide the divalent ansa-octaphenylmetallocenes [Ln(C5Ph4CH2)2(thf)n] (Ln = Sm, n = 2 (2); Ln = Eu, n = 2 (3); and Ln = Yb, n = 1 (4)). These complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and, in the case of Sm and Yb, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, showing the influence of the ansa-bridge on solution and solid-state structures compared to previously reported unbridged metallocenes. Furthermore, the luminescence properties of the Eu ansa complex 3 were studied in solution and the solid state, revealing significant differences with the known octa- and deca-phenyleuropocenes, [Eu(C5Ph4H)2(dme)] and [Eu(C5Ph5)2].

Abstract
Low-valent f-block metals have intrinsic luminescence, electrochemical, and magnetic properties that are modulated with ligands, causing the coordination chemistry of these metals to be imperative to generating critical insights needed to impact modern applications. To this end, we synthesized and characterized a series of twenty-seven complexes of f-metal ions including EuII, YbII, SmII, and UIII and hexanuclear clusters of LaIII and CeIII to study the impact of tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]amine, a flexible acyclic analogue of the extensively studied 2.2.2-cryptand, on the coordination chemistry and photophysical properties of low-valent f-block metals. We demonstrate that the flexibility of the ligand enables luminescence tunability over a greater range than analogous cryptates of EuII in solution. Furthermore, the ligand also displays a variety of binding modes to f-block metals in the solid state that are inaccessible to cryptates of low-valent f-block metals. In addition to serving as a ligand for f-block metals of various sizes and oxidation states, tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]amine also deprotonates water molecules coordinated to trivalent triflate salts of f-block metal ions, enabling the isolation of hexanuclear clusters containing either LaIII or CeIII. The ligand was also found to bind more tightly to YbII and UIII in the solid state compared to 2.2.2-cryptand, suggesting that it can play a role in the isolation of other low-valent f-block metals such CfII, NpIII, and PuIII. We expect that our findings will inspire applications of tris[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl]amine in the design of light-emitting diodes and the synthesis of extremely reducing divalent f-block metal complexes that are of interest for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Related BAP [BAP = bis(acyl)phosphide] and Acac (Acac = β-diketonate) molecules perform as robust supports for both lanthanide and actinide metals. Here, a molecular bimetallic Eu2+ complex was successfully targeted and isolated by employing sodium bis(mesitoyl)phosphide [Na(mesBAP)] in a salt metathesis with EuI2, producing [Eu(mesBAP)2(et2o)]2 (et2o = metal-coordinated diethyl ether). The corresponding Acac-Eu2+ complex was targeted using mesAcac- (1,3-dimesityl-1,3-propanedione), generating [Eu(mesAcac)2(et2o)]2. Both complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV-vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopies, and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility. [Eu(mesBAP)2(et2o)]2 was persistent under anaerobic, anhydrous conditions, whereas the analogous [Eu(mesAcac)2(et2o)]2 showed evidence of decomposition under identical conditions. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and magnetization studies of [Eu(mesBAP)2(et2o)]2 and [Eu(mesAcac)2(et2o)]2 were performed, resulting in similar magnetic exchange coupling values of Jex = -0.018 and -0.023 cm-1 and axial zero-field-splitting D values of -0.38 and -0.51 cm-1, respectively.

Abstract
High-performance and air-stable single-molecule magnets (SMMs) can offer great convenience for the fabrication of information storage devices. However, the controversial requisition of high stability and magnetic axiality is hard to balance for lanthanide-based SMMs. Here, a family of dysprosium(III) crown ether complexes possessing hexagonal-bipyramidal (pseudo-D6h symmetry) local coordination geometry with tunable air stability and effective energy barrier for magnetization reversal (Ueff) are shown. The three complexes share the common formula of [Dy(18-C-6)L2][I3] (18-C-6 = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane; L = I, 1; L = OtBu 2 and L = 1-AdO 3). 1 is highly unstable in the air. 2 can survive in the air for a few minutes, while 3 remains unchanged in the air for more than 1 week. This is roughly in accordance with the percentage of buried volumes of the axial ligands. More strikingly, 2 and 3 show progressive enhancement of Ueff and 3 exhibits a record high Ueff of 2427(19) K, which significantly contributes to the 100 s blocking temperature up to 11 K for Yttrium-diluted sample, setting a new benchmark for solid-state air-stable SMMs.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) are highly promising for backlighting display applications due to their high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and wide color gamut values. However, the practical applications of blue emitters are limited due to the toxicity of lead, unstable structure, and unsatisfactory PLQY. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of divalent europium-based perovskite CsEuBr3 NCs using a modified hot injection method. By optimizing the reaction conditions, the CsEuBr3 NCs display a deep-blue emission at 443 nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 28.5 nm, a color purity of 99.61%, and a record high PLQY of 93.51% for deep-blue narrow-band emissive lead-free perovskite NCs as far as we know. The emission mechanism of CsEuBr3 NCs is proved through first-principles calculations and spectral analysis. Notably, the CsEuBr3 NCs exhibit remarkable stability when exposed to high temperature, UV irradiation, and long-term sealed storage. The incorporation of CsEuBr3 NCs into polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) serving as a converter is utilized for white light-emitting devices (WLEDs). WLEDs for backlight displays achieves a wide color gamut of 127.1% of the National Television System Committee standard (NTSC), 94.9% coverage of the ITU-R Recommendation BT.2020 (Rec.2020), and their half-lifetime is up to 1677 h, providing a promising pathway for highly efficient, environment-friendly and practical liquid crystal display backlights.

Abstract
The d-f transition rare earth complexes have recently emerged as a promising candidate for display applications due to the parity-allowed transition, high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), short excited lifetime, and tunable emissions. Besides, inkjet printing has been regarded as an important technique for realizing full-color display. However, inkjet-printed d-f transition rare earth complexes have not been investigated. Herein, for the first time, we explored d-f transition cerium(III) complex 2-Me as the luminescent material by inkjet printing. With 1,2-dichlorobenzene as solvent and polystyrene as an additive, 2-Me film exhibits a similar emission peak and excited-state lifetime with 2-Me powder and a high PLQY of 45%, demonstrating the excellent stability of 2-Me ink. Finally, we suppressed the coffee ring effect and prepared the first inkjet-printed pattern ''HUST'' composed of d-f transition rare earth complex ink with uniform blue fluorescence. Our pioneering work provides a promising alternative for inkjet printing inks.

Despite the advantage of simple device structure, single-emitting-layer WOLEDs (SEL-WOLEDs) still face the challenges of difficult material screening and fine energy level regulation. Herein, we report efficient SEL-WOLEDs with a sky-blue emitting cerium(III) complex Ce-TBO2Et and an orange-red emitting europium(II) complex Eu(Tp2Et)2 as the emitters, showing a maximum external quantum efficiency of 15.9% and Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinates of (0.33, 0.39) at various luminances. Most importantly, the electroluminescence mechanism of direct hole capture and hindered energy transfer between the two emitters facilitate a manageable weight doping concentration of 5% for Eu(Tp2Et)2, avoiding the low concentration (<1%) of the low-energy emitter in typical SEL-WOLEDs. Our results indicate that d-f transition emitters may circumvent fine energy level regulation and provide development potential for SEL-WOLEDs.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have recently demonstrated great potential as x-ray scintillators, yet they still suffer toxicity issues, inferior light yield (LY) caused by severe self-absorption. Nontoxic bivalent europium ions (Eu2+) with intrinsically efficient and self-absorption-free d-f transition are a prospective replacement for the toxic Pb2+. Here, we demonstrated solution-processed organic-inorganic hybrid halide BA10EuI12 (BA denotes C4H9NH4+) single crystals for the first time. BA10EuI12 was crystallized in a monoclinic space group of P21/c, with photoactive sites of [EuI6]4- octahedra isolated by BA+ cations, which exhibited high photoluminescence quantum yield of 72.5% and large Stokes shift of 97 nm. These properties enable an appreciable LY value of 79.6% of LYSO (equivalent to ~27,000 photons per MeV) for BA10EuI12. Moreover, BA10EuI12 shows a short excited-state lifetime (151 ns) due to the parity-allowed d-f transition, which boosts the potential of BA10EuI12 for use in real-time dynamic imaging and computer tomography applications. In addition, BA10EuI12 demonstrates a decent linear scintillation response ranging from 9.21 μGyair s-1 to 145 μGyair s-1 and a detection limit as low as 5.83 nGyair s-1. The x-ray imaging measurement was performed using BA10EuI12 polystyrene (PS) composite film as a scintillation screen, which exhibited clear images of objects under x-ray irradiation. The spatial resolution was determined to be 8.95 lp mm-1 at modulation transfer function = 0.2 for BA10EuI12/PS composite scintillation screen. We anticipate that this work will stimulate the exploration of d-f transition lanthanide metal halides for sensitive x-ray scintillators.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of three neutral complexes with different coordination modes of a di-silylated metalloid germanium cluster to divalent lanthanides [(thf)5Ln(ηn-Ge9(Hyp)2)] (Ln = Yb (1, n = 1); Eu (2, n = 2, 3), Sm (3, n = 2, 3); Hyp = Si(SiMe3)3) by the salt metathesis of LnI2 with K2[Ge9(Hyp)2] in THF. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In thf solution, the formation of contact or solvate-separated ion pairs depending on the concentration is assumed. Compound 2 exhibits a blue luminescence typical for Eu2+. The solid-state magnetic measurements of compounds 2 and 3 confirm the presence of divalent europium and samarium, respectively.

Abstract
A new heteronuclear EuII-MnII complex [Eu(N2O6)]MnBr4 (N2O6 = 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]hexacosane) is designed and synthesized, which shows an intense green emission from MnII with a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield. Measurement of excited-state dynamics demonstrated the sensitization process from EuII to MnII, which represents the first example of f → d molecular sensitization. Due to the large optical absorption cross-section of the EuII center, [Eu(N2O6)]MnBr4 shows an emission intensity 7 to 2500 times stronger than that of the SrII-MnII control complex [Sr(N2O6)]MnBr4 upon the excitation of near ultraviolet to blue light.

Abstract
We describe a study of the influence of amine-containing ligands on the photoredox-relevant properties of EuII toward the rational design of EuII-containing catalysts for visible-light-promoted photoredox reactions. We report our observations of the effects of the degree of functionalization of amines, denticity, and macrocylic ligands on the absorbance of EuII. Ligands that contain secondary amines bathochromically shift the absorbance of EuCl2 relative to ligands that contain primary or tertiary amines. Similarly, ligands of larger denticity have a larger bathochromic shift of the absorbance than ligands of smaller denticity. We observed that macrocyclic ligands have a larger effect on the absorbance of EuCl2 than nonmacrocyclic ligands. Also, we report the photoredox reactivity of four new EuII-containing complexes. These observations are potentially influential in understanding the ligand properties that promote the use of EuII in visible-light-promoted photoredox catalysis.

Abstract
Rare earth europium(II) complexes based on d-f transition luminescence have characteristics of broad emission spectra, tunable emission colors and short excited state lifetimes, showing great potential in display, lighting and other fields. In this work, four complexes of Eu(II) and bis(pyrazolyl)borate ligands, where pyrazolyl stands for pyrazolyl, 3-methylpyrazolyl, 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl or 3-trifluoromethylpyrazole, were designed and synthesized. Due to the varied steric hindrance of the ligands, different numbers of solvent molecules (tetrahydrofuran) are participated to saturate the coordination structure. These complexes showed blue-green to yellow emissions with maximum wavelength in the range of 490-560 nm, and short excited state lifetimes of 30-540 ns. Among them, the highest photoluminescence quantum yield can reach 100%. In addition, when the complexes were heated under vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere, they finally transformed into the complexes of Eu(II) and corresponding tri(pyrazolyl)borate ligands and sublimated away.

Abstract
Complexes containing rare-earth ions attract great attention for their technological applications ranging from spintronic devices to quantum information science. While charged rare-earth coordination complexes are ubiquitous in solution, they are challenging to form on materials surfaces that would allow investigations for potential solid-state applications. Here we report formation and atomically precise manipulation of rare-earth complexes on a gold surface. Although they are composed of multiple units held together by electrostatic interactions, the entire complex rotates as a single unit when electrical energy is supplied from a scanning tunneling microscope tip. Despite the hexagonal symmetry of the gold surface, a counterion at the side of the complex guides precise three-fold rotations and 100% control of their rotational directions is achieved using a negative electric field from the scanning probe tip. This work demonstrates that counterions can be used to control dynamics of rare-earth complexes on materials surfaces for quantum and nanomechanical applications. Rare-earth elements are vital to advanced technological applications ranging from spintronic devices to quantum information science. Here, the authors formed charged rare-earth complexes on a material surface and demonstrated atomically precise control on their rotational dynamics.

Abstract
Luminescent cerium(III) complexes based on the d-f transition have characteristics of broad emission spectra, tunable emission colors, and short excited state lifetimes, showing potential applications in display, lighting, and other fields. Thus it is important to construct luminescent Ce(III) complexes with high photoluminescence efficiency and good stability. In this work, five Ce(III) complexes with dihydrobis(pyrazolyl)borate or diphenylbis(pyrazolyl)borate ligands, where pyrazolyl stands for pyrazolyl, 3-methylpyrazolyl, or 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl, were designed and synthesized, showing emission colors from deep blue to yellow with a maximum wavelength in the range of 390-560 nm, short excited state lifetimes of 30-80 ns, and photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 75% in solid powder. By comparing these complexes, it is found that higher photoluminescence efficiency and better thermal/air stability could be achieved in the complexes with dihydrobis(pyrazolyl)borate ligands.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR, 700-1700 nm) luminescent imaging is an emerging bioimaging technology with low photon scattering, minimal autofluorescence, deep tissue penetration, and high spatiotemporal resolution that has shown fascinating promise for NIR imaging-guided theranostics. In recent progress, NIR luminescent metal complexes have attracted substantially increased research attention owing to their intrinsic merits, including small size, anti-photobleaching, long lifetime, and metal-centered NIR emission. In the past decade, scientists have contributed to the advancement of NIR metal complexes involving efforts to improve photophysical properties, biocompatibility, specificity, pharmacokinetics, in vivo visualization, and attempts to exploit new ligand platforms. Herein, we summarize recent progress and provide future perspectives for NIR metal complexes, including d-block transition metals and f-block lanthanides (Ln) as NIR optical molecular probes for bioassays.

Abstract
Due to unique photo-physical characteristics, rare earth (RE) complexes play important roles in many fields, for example, telecommunications, life science, and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Especially, thanks to narrow emission bandwidth and 100% theoretical internal quantum efficiency (IQE), the study of RE complexes in the electroluminescence field has been a hot research topic in recent 30 years. As a leading technology in solid-state light source fields, OLEDs have attracted great interest from academic researchers and commercial endeavors. In the last decades, OLED-based products have trickled into the commercial market and developed quickly into portable display devices. Here, we briefly introduce the luminescent characteristics and electroluminescent (EL) study of RE complexes in material synthesis and device design. Moreover, we emphatically reveal the innovative application of RE complexes as sensitizers in OLEDs. Through experimental validation, the application of RE complexes as sensitizers can realize the complementary advantages of RE complexes and transition metal complexes, leading to significantly improved performances of OLEDs. The application of RE complexes as sensitizers provides a new strategy for designing and developing novel high performances OLEDs.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the panel display market, demand for efficient light emitters as active layers in electroluminescence (EL) devices has significantly increased. Luminescent inorganic lanthanide compounds (ILCs) with a characteristic f-d transition are particularly preferred for EL devices because of their high photoluminescent quantum yield, short excited-state lifetime, tunable emission spectra, and high thermal stability. In this Perspective, we first present an overview of inorganic lanthanide compounds with an emphasis on the mechanisms and characteristics of f-d emission. Then, the comprehensive advances of lanthanide element-doped inorganic compounds for EL study in recent decades are summarized. Moreover, the recent progress in directly employing ILCs for EL applications and rational improvement strategies in EL performance are highlighted. Last, we summarize the current challenges and opportunities of ILC-based EL devices as well as future improvement directions.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are considered as next-generation displays and lighting technologies. During the past three decades, various luminescent materials such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, and thermally activated delayed fluorescence materials have been subsequently investigated as emitters. To date, blue OLEDs are still the bottleneck as compared to red and green ones because of the lack of efficient emitters with simultaneous high exciton utilization efficiency and long-term stability. Recently, d-f transition rare earth complexes have been reported as new emitters in OLEDs with potential high efficiency and stability. In this Perspective, we present a brief introduction to OLEDs and an overview of the previous electroluminescence study on d-f transition rare earth complexes. This is followed by our recent developments in cerium(III) complex- and europium(II) complex-based OLEDs. We finally discuss the challenges and opportunities for OLED study based on d-f transition rare earth complexes.

Abstract
The modifications of local structure in solid solution are a crucial step to regulate the photoluminescence properties of rare-earth ion-based phosphors. However, the structural diversity of host matrices and the uncertain occupation of activators make it challenging to obtain phosphors with both high stability and tailored emission. Herein, We synthesized a series of β-Ca3(PO4)2-type Ca8ZnGa(1-x)Lax(PO4)7:Eu2+ solid solution phosphors by design. By modifying the Ga/La ratio, controllable regulation of the emission spectrum and thermal stability of the phosphors can be achieved at the same time. The introduction of La3+ can regulate the crystal field splitting strength of the Eu2+ activators, causing redshifts in the emission spectrum while increasing Ga3+ content will lead to enhanced energy transfer between the oxygen vacancy and Eu2+, as well as improved thermal stability. Through local structure modification, the spectrum and thermal stability of phosphors can be facilely tuned. The results indicate that this series of phosphors have versatile potentials in various applications.

Abstract
Compared with red and green organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), blue is the bottleneck that restricts the wide development of OLEDs from being the next-generation technology for displays and lighting. As a new type of emitter, a Ce(III) complex shows many satisfactory advantages, such as a short excited-state lifetime, 100% theoretical exciton utilization efficiency, and tunable emission color. Herein we synthesized three heteroleptic Ce(III) complexes Ce(TpMe2)2(dtfpz), Ce(TpMe2)2(dmpz), and Ce(TpMe2)2(dppz) with the hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate (TpMe2) main ligand and different substituted pyrazole ancillary ligands, namely, 3,5-di(trifluomethyl)pyrazolyl (dtfpz), 3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl (dmpz), and 3,5-diphenylpyrazolyl (dppz), and studied their structures and luminescence properties. All the Ce(III) complexes exhibited a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield both in solution and as a powder with maximum emission wavelengths in the range of 450-486 nm. The OLED employing Ce(TpMe2)2(dppz) as the emitter showed the best performance, including a turn-on voltage, maximum luminance, and external quantum efficiency of 3.2 V, 29 200 cd m-2, and 12.5%, respectively.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have had commercial success in displays and lighting. Compared to red and green OLEDs, blue OLEDs are still the bottleneck because the high-energy and long-lived triplet exciton in traditional blue OLEDs causes the short operational lifetime of the device. As a new type emitter, lanthanide complexes with a 5d-4f transition could have short excited-state lifetimes on the order of nanoseconds. To achieve a high-efficiency 5d-4f transition, we systematically tuned the steric and electronic effects of tripodal tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands and drew a full picture of their Ce(III) complexes. Intriguingly, all of these complexes show bright blue emission with high photoluminescence quantum yields exceeding 95% and short decay lifetimes of 35-73 ns both in the solid powder and in dichloromethane solutions. Using the Ce(III) complex emitter, we show a blue OLED with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 14.1% and a maximum luminance of 33,160 cd m-2, and the specific electroluminescence mechanism of direct exciton formation on the Ce(III) ion with a near-unity exciton utilization efficiency is also confirmed. The discovered photoluminescence and electroluminescence property-structure relationships may shed new light on the rational design of highly efficient lanthanide-based blue emitters and their optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs.

Abstract
Flat panel displays enjoy 100 billion-dollar markets with significant penetration in daily life, which require efficient, color-saturated blue, green, and red light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The recently emerged halide perovskites have demonstrated low-cost and outstanding performance for potential LED applications. However, the performance of blue perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) lags far behind red and green cousins, particularly for color coordinates approaching (0.131, 0.046) that fulfill the Rec. 2020 specification for blue emitters. Here, a high-efficiency, lead-free perovskite, CsEuBr3 , is reported that exhibits bright blue exciton emission centered at 448 nm with a color coordinates of (0.15, 0.04), contributed from Eu-5d→Eu-4f/Br-4p transition with an optical band gap of 2.85 eV. Further optical characterizations reveal its short excited-state lifetime of 151 ns, excellent exciton diffusion diffusivity of 0.0227 cm2 s-1 , and high quantum yield of ≈69%. Inspired by these findings, deep-blue PeLEDs based on all-vacuum processing methods, which have been demonstrated as the most successful approach for the organic LED industry, are constructed. The devices show a maximum external quantum efficiency of 6.5% with an operating half-lifetime of 50 mins at an initial brightness of 15.9 cd m-2 . It is anticipated that this work will inspire further research on lanthanide-based perovskites for next-generation LED applications.

Abstract
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) have attracted increasing attention due to their excellent properties, such as self-luminosity, high color gamut and flexibility, and potential applications in display, wearable devices and lighting. The emitters are the most important composition in OLEDs, mainly classified into fluorescent compounds (first generation), metal phosphorescent complexes (second generation), and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials (third generation). In this review, we summarize the advances of novel emitters of organic metal complexes in the last decade, focusing on coinage metals (Cu, Ag, and Au) and non-precious metals (Al, Zn, W, and alkali metal). Also, the design strategy of d10 and Au(III) complexes was discussed. We aim to provide guidance for exploring efficient metal complexes beyond traditional phosphorescent complexes.

Abstract
The rational synthesis of trinuclear emissive organometallic complexes with two equivalent platinum(II) centres appended to the ancillary substituted 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand of the cyclometalated iridium(III) centre is reported here. The alkynyl-platinum moiety and cyclometalated iridium(III) centres have been separated through a non-conjugated CH2 -O-CH2 linkage. The emission titration with amino acids reveals that the complexes sense free amino acids. The luminescence sensing of BSA is thus attributed to the amino acid sensing ability of the complexes and confirmed by emission anisotropy and Far-UV CD spectral study. The decrease in α-helix in the CD spectra signifies the changes in the secondary structure of protein in presence of the complexes.

Abstract
The successful use of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) in immunoassay for clinical diagnosis requires development of novel ECL signal probes. Herein, we report lanthanide (Ln) metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) as ECL signal emitters in the ECL immunoassay. The LMOFs were prepared from precursors containing Eu (III) ions and 5-boronoisophthalic acid (5-bop), which could be utilized to adjust optical properties. Investigations of ECL emission mechanisms revealed that 5-bop was excited with ultraviolet photons to generate a triplet-state, which then triggered Eu (III) ions for red emission. The electron-deficient boric acid decreased the energy-transfer efficiency from the triplet-state of 5-bop to Eu (III) ions; consequently, both were excited with high-efficiency at single excitation. In addition, by progressively tailoring the atomic ratios of Ni/Fe, NiFe composites (Ni/Fe 1:1) were synthesized with more available active sites, enhanced stability, and excellent conductivity. As a result, the self-luminescent europium LMOFs displayed excellent performance characteristics in an ECL immunoassay with a minimum detectable limit of 0.126 pg mL-1, using Cytokeratins21-1 (cyfra21-1) as the target detection model. The probability of false positive/false negative was reduced dramatically by using LMOFs as signal probes. This proposed strategy provides more possibilities for the application of lanthanide metals in analytical chemistry, especially in the detection of other disease markers.
