Efficient sensitized emission in Yb(III) pentachlorotropolonate complexes.
New Yb(III) complexes based on the pentachlorotropolonate (pctrop) ligand show enhanced infrared emission when excited in the orange organic chromophore. Yb(pctrop)(3)(DMF-d(7))(2) presents the highest reported quantum yield for a nonfluorinated infrared-emitting organolanthanide complex.
