Abstract

The rapidly growing number of luminescent materials illustrates high interest and accessibility. Especially, lanthanide-containing luminescent materials possessing multiple properties have made them useful in a wide range of applications. A great deal of research has been carried out on lanthanide organic/inorganic complex-based materials in the last decade. Combining the excellent luminescent properties of lanthanide and the special properties of macrocyclic host, scientists could endow the materials with the more marvelous properties by host–guest interactions. This chapter mainly describes a systematical overview of the lanthanide of luminescent materials based on crown ether and cyclodextrin. Meanwhile their potential applications in functional materials and biosciences, etc. have been surveyed. Additionally, the future opportunities and challenges on the lanthanide of luminescent materials are also presented.
