要旨

One- and two-photon absorption properties of a novel europium(III) complex containing a hemicyanine cation are investigated in this paper; in which the sensitization wavelength of europium(III), induced by beta-diketonate ligands, is in the ultraviolet range, and the hemicyanine(aminostyrylpyridinium) cation extends the sensitization wavelength of Eu(III) to visible region. Furthermore, under 1.06 μm ultrashort pulse laser excitation, the complex exhibits effective europium(III) luminescence induced by the two-photon absorption of the hemicyanine cation. Therefore, this new europium(III) complex with excitation bands in the near infrared, visible and ultraviolet ranges. Since the 1.06-μm ultrafast laser is one of the most frequently used laser sources and 1.06 μm is an ‘optical window’ for cells and tissues, the results suggest that this kind of complex has promising applications in deep-penetrating and high quality bioimaging in vivo.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
