Boronic acid derivatized lanthanide–polyoxometalates with novel B–OH–Ln and B–O–Nb bridges

Boronic acid derivatized Ln–POMs were synthesized by pH-controlled formation of B–OH–Ln and B–O–Nb bridges.

Cryogenic luminescent thermometers based on multinuclear Eu3+/Tb3+ mixed lanthanide polyoxometalates

A novel optical thermometer based on a multinuclear mixed Eu3+/Tb3+ polyoxometalate, displaying excellent temperature sensing properties in the cryogenic region (<100 K), is proposed.

Multicomponent hybrids of surfactant-capped lanthanide polyoxometalates and ZIF-8 with tuneable luminescence

Two kinds of surfactant-functionalized lanthanide polyoxometalates and ZIF-8 nanoparticles were diffused together in polymer hosts, whose luminescence colour can be tuned by adjusting the composing units to provide useful data for multicomponent hybrids.
