This distinction is particularly meaningful as it is organised by students, who nominate a lecturer in recognition of outstanding teaching and pedagogical excellence.
Color-tunable luminescent TbxEuy(BDC) complexes assembled within liposome-based nanoreactors
June 12, 2026
This new publication highlight the development of liposome nanoreactors that assemble multimetallic lanthanide complexes inside attoliter compartments. Real-time photoluminescence monitoring reveals distinct Tb3+ and Eu3+ emission behavior, while ligand engineering enables RGB color tuning, providing a platform for studying coordination chemistry and designing luminescent nanomaterials in aqueous environments.
