Light Conversion and Energy Transfer Devices

Conversion of adsorbed light into emitted light of another wavelength occurs in any luminescent species. One would like, however, to perform separately the various steps of the overall process by means of different components that may be opti- 

Of particular interest is the development of homogeneous immunoassays based on cryptate 87 as label. They make use of a second, long range energy transfer 

Polymetallic complexes presenting directional energy migration are of much significance for the design of photochemical molecular devices. Large arrays of multiple photoactive and redox-active building blocks (of ruthenium- or osmium tris(bipyri-dine)-type for instance) have been constructed for such purposes [A. 10,8.25-8.27].
