Abstract
The electronic absorption of Michler's ketone (MK) and related push-pull se nsitisers undergoes a strong red shift upon coordination with lanthanide(II I) beta-diketonates, which enables unprecedently efficient sensitisation of Eu3+ luminescence for excitation at long wavelengths extending well into t he visible region to above 450 nm.
