Direct observation of resonant energy transfer in lanthanide complexes from multidisciplinary perspectives by Chen, Xuebo

“…However, in special case incorrect arguments and formulae were often employed by ignoring energy resonance conditions and selection rules of state-to-state transition, especially for the sensitive intramolecular EnT of lanthanide complexes bearing a uniform donor-acceptor distance. Herein, we proposed an innovative model of energy degeneracy crossing controlled EnT, which can be experimentally confirmed by a bi-exponential decay using the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. …”
