Herein, a novel fluorescent indicator for the real-time monitoring of amines is described. This probe contains a complex of europium-(thenoyltrifluoroacetone) 3 (Eu(TTA) 3 ) that efficiently reacts with primary and secondary amines. The electron-withdrawing trifluoroacetyl undergoes a nucleophilic addition with amines, and the complex was used to selectively detect BuNH 2 and Et 2 NH (quenching concentration for BuNH 2 : 10 −4 m , for Et 2 NH: 1.2 × 10 −3 m ) by monitoring emission; no changes were observed in the emission spectrum of Eu(TTA) 3 in the presence of Et 3 N, [Bu 4 N]Cl, or PhNH 2 in aqueous solution (THF/H 2 O = 1:1). The ratio of emission intensity to amine concentration was linear by the least-squares fitting method.

The growing demand for efficient and sustainable photonic materials has spurred significant interest in eco-friendly lead-free double perovskites, which exhibit exceptional photoluminescence properties for next-generation sensing and display technologies. However, the emission performance of the material is limited by multiphonon relaxation, which leads to low energy efficiency under complex operating conditions. In this study, the 3H5 energy level of Tm3+ is strategically engineered as an energy bridge within lead-free double perovskites, effectively overcoming the constraints imposed by inefficient multiphonon relaxation in Er3+ (4I11/2 → 4I13/2). This targeted modulation of energy transfer pathways results in a significant 50-fold enhancement in the red-to-green (R/G) emission ratio of Er3+, increasing from 0.09 to 4.58, accompanied by a pronounced chromaticity shift from green (0.278, 0.709) to red (0.678, 0.320). This tunable emission behavior is further modulated by laser power density and excitation wavelength (808 or 980 nm). Moreover, Gd2MgTiO6 (GMTO):Er3+,Tm3+ demonstrates excellent temperature-measuring ability based on the luminescence intensity ratio (2H11/2/4F9/2 → 4I15/2), achieving a maximum relative sensitivity of 1.03% K−1 at 313 K. This work not only demonstrates a generalizable strategy to suppress multiphonon relaxation via lanthanide energy bridges but also paves the way for multifunctional photonic devices tailored to emerging applications in smart sensing, secure communication, and next-generation optoelectronics.

The upconversion of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, with a high tissue penetration depth, possesses a distinct advantage in biological temperature detection but is limited by the lack of rare earth-doped nanophosphors with intense and selective NIR UC emission. Here, we show that high-efficiency NIR temperature sensing can be achieved by appropriately doping Tm 3+ activators into a polarized layered host, utilizing the high environmental sensitivity of the 3 H 4 → 3 H 6 electric dipole transition (808 nm) of Tm 3+ . To confirm this concept, Yb 3+ /Tm 3+ codoped Bi 7 F 11 O 5 upconverting nanosheets were synthesized and characterized. Furthermore, the thermometric performance of the samples was analyzed based on the temperature-dependent fluorescence intensity ratio from the thermally coupled levels ( 3 F 3 / 3 H 4 ) of Tm 3+ . The results showed that, under 980 nm diode laser excitation, the prepared samples can produce a high NIR-to-visible UC emission ratio (I 800nm /I 475nm ) of over 2000 for Tm 3+ . The maximum sensitivity S a /S r was 1.4% K −1 /0.577 K −1 at 303 K based on the 3 F 3 and 3 H 4 levels, and the material exhibited a wide functional temperature range of 303–573 K. The results of our work not only improve the understanding of the optical properties of RE 3+ ions in layered materials but also show a potential application for physiological temperature sensing in biological tissues and cells.

Cooperative luminescence (CL) occurs in spectral regions in which single ions do not have energy levels. It was first observed more than 40 years ago, and all results reported so far are from a pair of ions. In this work, upconverted CL of three Yb 3+ ions was observed in the ultraviolet (UV) region under near-infrared (NIR) excitation. The UV CL intensity showed a cubic dependence on the NIR pump power, whereas the luminescence lifetime was nearly one-third the luminescence lifetime of single Yb 3+ ions. The triplet CL (TCL) has a clear spectral structure, in which most emission peaks are consistent with the self-convoluted spectra from single Yb 3+ ions. Blue shifts were observed for certain peaks, indicating complex interactions among the excited Yb 3+ ions. The probability of the TCL process versus the average distances among three Yb 3+ ions was derived via the first- and second-order corrections to the wave functions of lanthanide ions, indicating that the formation of Yb 3+ clusters containing closely spaced ions favors the occurrence of the multi-ion interaction processes. Furthermore, the cooperative sensitization of one Gd 3+ ion by four excited Yb 3+ ions (Yb 3+ -tetramer) was demonstrated experimentally, which exhibited a novel upconversion mechanism—cluster sensitization. Our results are intriguing for further exploring quantum transitions that simultaneously involve multiple ions.
