Abstract
The challenge of measuring fast moving or small scale samples is based on the absence of contact between sample and sensor. Grafting lanthanides onto hybrid materials arises as one of the most promising accurate techniques to obtain noninvasive thermometers. In this work, a novel bipyridine based porous organic polymer (bpyDAT POP) was investigated as temperature sensor after grafting with Eu(acac)3 and Tb(acac)3 complexes. The bpyDAT POP successfully showed temperature-dependent behavior in the 10-310 K range, proving the potential of amorphous, porous organic frameworks. We observed unique temperature dependent behavior. More intriguingly, instead of the standard observed change in emission as a result of a change in temperature for both Eu3+ and Tb3+ , the emission spectrum of Tb3+ remained constant. This work provides framework- and energy-based explanations for the observed phenomenon. The conjugation in the bpyDAT POP framework is interrupted, creating energetically isolated Tb3+ environments. Energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+ is therefore absent, nor energy back transfer from Tb3+ to bpyDAT POP ligand (i.e. no thermal quenching) is detected.

Abstract
Phosphors have been used successfully for both research and commercial applications for decades. Eu3+-doped materials are especially promising, because of their extremely stable, efficient, and narrow red emission lines. Although these emission properties are ideal for lighting applications, weak absorption in the blue spectral range has until now prevented the use of Eu3+-based phosphors in applications based on blue light-emitting diodes. Here, we demonstrate a sensitization mechanism of Eu3+ based on interparticle Förster resonance energy transfer (IFRET) between lanthanide-doped inorganic nanocrystals (NCs). Compared to co-doping different lanthanides in the same host crystal, IFRET allows an independent choice of host lattices for Eu3+ and its sensitizer while potentially greatly reducing metal-to-metal charge transfer quenching. We demonstrate IFRET between NCs, resulting in red Eu3+ emission upon blue excitation at 485 nm using LaPO4:Tb/LaPO4:Eu and LaPO4:Tb/YVPO4:Eu NC mixtures. These findings pave the way toward engineering blue-sensitized line emitters for solid-state lighting applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) could be highly selective and noninvasive, with low side effects as an adjuvant therapy for cancer treatment. Because excitation sources such as UV and visible lights for most of the photosensitizers do not penetrate deeply enough into biological tissues, PDT is useful only when the lesions are located within 10 mm below the skin. In addition, there is no prior example of theranostics capable of both PDT and imaging with a single deep-penetrating X-ray excitation source. Here we report a new theranostic scintillator nanoparticle (ScNP) composite in a core-shell-shell arrangement, that is, NaLuF4:Gd(35%),Eu(15%)@NaLuF4:Gd(40%)@NaLuF4:Gd(35%),Tb(15%), which is capable of being excited by a single X-ray radiation source to allow potentially deep tissue PDT and optical imaging with a low dark cytotoxicity and effective photocytotoxicity. With the X-ray excitation, the ScNPs can emit visible light at 543 nm (from Tb3+) to stimulate the loaded rose bengal (RB) photosensitizer and cause death of efficient MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cancer cells. The ScNPs can also emit light at 614 and 695 nm (from Eu3+) for luminescence imaging. The middle shell in the core-shell-shell ScNPs is unique to separate the Eu3+ in the core and the Tb3+ in the outer shell to prevent resonance quenching between them and to result in good PDT efficiency. Also, it was demonstrated that although the addition of a mesoporous SiO2 layer resulted in the transfer of 82.7% fluorescence resonance energy between Tb3+ and RB, the subsequent conversion of the energy from RB to generate 1O2 was hampered, although the loaded amount of the RB was almost twice that without the mSiO2 layer. A unique method to compare the wt % and mol % compositions calculated by using the morphological transmission electron microscope images and the inductively coupled plasma elemental analysis data of the core, core-shell, and core-shell-shell ScNPs is also introduced.
