In complex [Na-Dy(μ-L)](HL = 8-hydroxyquinoline) (1), the DyL units were linked by the Na ions to form one-dimensional chains. The chain exhibited slow magnetic relaxation behavior at low temperature, accompanied by obvious quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM). Very weak fluorescence was detected in 1 due to the mismatch of the state energy between Dy and the L ligand. Through the magnetic dilution of diamagnetic Y ions, complex [NaDyY(μ-L)] (2) was obtained; in 2 the QTM of Dy was suppressed and the single ion magnet (SIM) behavior was enhanced. More interestingly, the fluorescence emission of 8-hydroxyquinoline was lightened by the Y ions in 2, whose intensity is linearly correlated with the temperature variation. The examples of dual functional fluorescent thermometers and SIM materials are attained simply by ion dilution, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

Optical thermometry is a valuable non-contact technique for temperature measurement, especially in environments where traditional methods are impractical. Despite its advantages, enhancing the precision of optical thermometers remains a significant challenge. In this study, we explored the thermometric properties of NaSrPO phosphors co-doped with Er/Yb, synthesized a solid-state reaction method, for temperature sensing within the 200-440 K range under 980 nm excitation.

Aggregation-induced emission fluorogens (AIEgens) with intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) characteristic are widely used in the detection of various analytes owing to their highly tunable fluorescence emission properties. However, facilely synthesis of AIEgens with ICT characteristic for multiple sensing is still rare and limited in use. In this work, two new AIEgens of 1,2-bis(4-alkoxycarbonylphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole (AMI) and its hydrolyzed derivative 1,2-bis(4-carboxylphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole (CMI) were facilely synthesized with donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) structures.

The development of high-sensitivity thermometers has become increasingly important in recent years as the demand for noncontact optical temperature measurement has grown. Herein, we report a series of SrScOF:Mn,Nd (SSOF:Mn,Nd) phosphors synthesized by the traditional high-temperature solid-state method for high-performance temperature sensing. SrScOF possesses a [ScO6F] octahedron and [SrO9F] tridecahedron, doped Mn ions occupy the octahedral sites and emit deep red light at 650-750 nm, and doped Nd ions occupy the tridecahedral sites and emit near-infrared light.

The fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) approach, which relies on thermally coupled levels (TCLs), is significantly important for optical thermometry at room temperature and above, but was found to be impractical for low temperature sensing due to limited population density (thermal) or lack of spectrum at extremely low temperatures. Herein, we report a wide temperature range (12-673 K) sensing capability of the PbZrTiO:Er/Yb (C1:PZT) phosphor utilising the bandwidth of Stark sublevel split near-infrared (NIR) emission bands as one sensing parameter and FIR as another. Motivated by our previous studies on upconversion (UC) and the promising thermometry performance of the C1:PZT phosphor for real time nanothermometer monitoring (using visible TCLs), this work extends to the same thermometry application using UC-NIR emission as TCLs.
