title: Efficient near-UV photosensitization of the Tb(III) green luminescence by use of 2-hydroxyisophthalate ligands.
abstract: The first examples of lanthanide complexes with a 2-hydroxyisophthalate ligand are reported; the blue-emitting ligand acts as a very efficient sensitizer of the Tb(III) green emissions and does so in the near-UV region.
