Luminescence from Earth-abundant metal ions in solution at room temperature is a very challenging objective due to the intrinsically weak ligand field splitting of first-row transition ions, which leads efficient nonradiative deactivation via metal-centered states. Only handful 3dn complexes (n ≠ 10) show sizable luminescence temperature. near-infrared spectral region even more difficult achieve as further pathways come into play. No have displayed emission >1000 nm up now. Here, we report...
