The excitation energy transfer (ET) pathway and mechanism from an organic antenna to a lanthanide ion has been the subject of discussion for many decades. In the case of europium (Eu3+), it has been suggested that the transfer originates from the ligand singlet state or a triplet state. Taking the l...
