title: Highly luminescent Sm(III) complexes with intraligand charge-transfer sensitization and the effect of solvent polarity on their luminescent properties.
abstract: Samarium complexes with the highest quantum yields to date have been synthesized, and their luminescence properties were studied in 12 solvents. Sensitization via a nontriplet intraligand charge-transfer pathway was also successfully demonstrated in solution states with good quantum yields.
