Luminophores, which are generally a subcategory of and Phosphors . The difference between luminophores belonging to these two subcategories is derived from the nature of the Excited State responsible for the emission of Photon s. Some luminophores, however, cannot be classified as being exclusively Fluorophore s or Phosphors and exist in the gray area in between. Such cases include Transition Metal complexes (such as Ruthenium tris- Bipyridine ) whose luminescence comes from an excited (nominally triplet) metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) state, but which is not a true triplet-state in the strict sense of the definition. Most luminophores typically consist of Conjugated Pi Systems or Transition Metal complexes. Luminophores can be observed in action in Organic Light-emitting Diode s and Bioluminescence . |
