author = "Hongshan He and Mukul Dubey and Sykes, {Andrew G.} and May, {P. Stanley}",
note = "The new and ytterbium(III) monoporphyrinate complexes were synthesized and hybridized into silica xerogel frameworks though the coordination of 5-(N,N-bis(3-propyl)ureyl-1,10-phenanthroline to the lanthanide ions. The complexes are eight-coordinate with strong emissions in solution in the near-infrared region. The resulting silica films are transparent, homogenous, and exhibit strong mechanical strength.",
