By combining Er and Yb ions with 3,6-dithiophene-anilate (ThAn) and scorpionate hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate (HBpz) ligands new luminescent dinuclear complexes are obtained. The two materials formulated as [((HB(pz))Yb)(μ-thAn)]·4DCM·1.3HO and [((HB(pz))Er)(μ-thAn)]·4DCM·1.8HO respectively, have been structurally characterized by SC-XRD and PXRD studies. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the photophysical properties of the ThAn ligand for the first time. Our findings reveal the crucial role of the thiophene anilate as an effective optical antenna, which sensitizes near-infrared (NIR)-emitting lanthanide ions, specifically Er and Yb. The significant impact of vibrational quenching on the Ln NIR emission efficiency has been also highlighted.

One of the primary challenges for immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-based therapy is the limited infiltration of T lymphocytes (T cells) into tumors, often referred to as immunologically "cold" tumors. A promising strategy to enhance the anti-tumor efficacy of ICB is to increase antigen exposure, thereby enhancing T cell activation and converting "cold" tumors into "hot" ones. Herein, we present an innovative all-in-one therapeutic nanoplatform to realize local mild photothermal- and photodynamic-triggered antigen exposure, thereby improving the anti-tumor efficacy of ICB.

Eu-doped near-infrared (NIR) emitting phosphors, known for their high efficiency, broadband emission and spectral tunability, have gained much attention. However, achieving efficient NIR emission based on Eu remains a challenge due to the co-existence of Eu, especially in materials (i.e.

Near-Infrared (NIR) light emitting metal halides are emerging as a new generation of optical materials owing to their appealing features, which include low-cost synthesis, solution processability, and adjustable optical properties. NIR-emitting perovskite-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have reached an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of over 20% and a device stability of over 10,000 h. Such results have sparked an interest in exploring new NIR metal halide emitters.

Two new ytterbium coordination compounds Yb(HPTC)(HO) (Yb1) and Yb(HPTC)(Phen) (Yb2) were obtained using 10-carboxyperylene-3,4,9-tricarboxylate ion (HPTC) as a sensitizer. Both coordination compounds exhibited intense NIR-II luminescence upon excitation in the visible range and formed stable suspensions with nanoparticles of 50-70 nm in size in an aqueous solution of sodium alginate. Both complexes demonstrated non-toxicity up to at least 25 mg L in two cell cultures: cancer cells MCF7 and embryonic cells HEK293T - making them suitable for bioimaging.
