A Ratiometric Luminescent Thermometer Co‐doped with Lanthanide and Transition Metals

Herein, we report the fabrication of a sensitive ratiometric and colorimetric luminescent thermometer with a wide operating‐temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures up to high temperatures, through the combination of lanthanide and transition metal complexes. Benefiting from the transition metal complex as a self‐reference, the lanthanide content in the mixed‐coordination complex, Eu_0.05(Mebip‐mim bromine)_0.15Zn_0.95(Mebip‐mim bromine)_1.9, was lowered to 5 %.
