Sensitisation of Eu(iii)- and Tb(iii)-based luminescence by Ir(iii) units in Ir/lanthanide dyads: evidence for parallel energy-transfer and electron-transfer based mechanisms by Sykes, Daniel, Cankut, Ahmet J., Ali, Noorshida Mohd, Stephenson, Andrew, Spall, Steven J. P., Parker, Simon C., Weinstein, Julia A., Ward, Michael D.

“…In the Ir/Gd dyads, where direct Ir→Gd energy-transfer is not possible, significant quenching of Ir-based luminescence nonetheless occurred; this can be ascribed to photoinduced electron-transfer from the photo-excited Ir unit (*Ir, 3 MLCT/3LC excited state) to the pendant pyrazolyl-pyridine site which becomes a good electron-acceptor when coordinated to an electropositive Gd(iii) centre. …”

Enacting chance and the space of possibilities (editorial) by Copeland, Samantha, Arfini, Selene, Ross, Wendy

“…However, these forms of chance do not violate expectations - they are within an easily visualized space of possible occurrences and constitute predictable components of the matrix of possibilities. However, when we write about enacting chance in relation to possibilities, we are interested in how people use chance events to expand the existing possibility space in unpredictable and unanticipated ways. …”

To what extent and in what ways do communities of practice facilitate learning in the context of professional development for interpreting students and practitioners? by D'Hayer, Danielle

“…The absence of negotiation of meaning with all participants in the VCs leads to a traditional skill-based interpreting practice approach that does not spark further collaborative initiatives, thus demonstrating the importance and value of negotiation of meaning when designing for the emergence of CoPs. This study invites the interpreting education profession to go further than the current apprenticeship model, and activate the concept of learning as social participation. …”
