Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Nature communications, 15 2016, v. 7, no. , p. 1-8 | Abstract: | Up conversion is an Anti-Stokes luminescent process by which photons of low energy are piled up to generate light at a higher energy. Here we show that the addition of fluoride anions to a D 2 O solution of a macrocyclic erbium complex leads to the formation of a supramolecular [(ErL) 2 F] + assembly in which fluoride is sandwiched between two complexes, held together by the synergistic interactions of the Er-F-Er bridging bond, four intercomplex hydrogen bonds and two aromatic stacking interactions. Room temperature excitation into the Er absorption bands at 980 nm of a solution of the complex in D 2 O results in the observation of up converted emission at 525, 550 and 650 nm attributed to Er centred transitions via a two-step excitation. The up conversion signal is dramatically increased upon formation of the [(ErL) 2 F] + dimer in the presence of 0.5 equivalents of fluoride anions. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Nature communications | EISSN: | 2041-1723 | DOI: | 10.1038/ncomms11978 | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
