abstract = {Erbium complexes with a fluorinated organic core shell linked to a hydrogen-containing shell, have been synthesized using the click reaction between erbium(III) bis(perfluoro-4-azidophenyl)phosphinate and a series of alkynes. The erbium 1.5 μm emission lifetimes in the hydrogen-containing erbium complexes exceed 140 μs, the longest ever reported in hydrogenated organic erbium systems. The visible sensitisation for erbium emission indicates a successful strategy that broadens the usage of nonfluorinated chromophores in organic erbium systems and allows more choices for ligand functionalization with exceptional efficiency for erbium emission.},
