Graphical Abstract
From blue to red: The structure and luminescence properties of the gadolinium(III) complex 1 were investigated. Reversible switching of the luminescence of 1 in THF at room temperature by alternating light irradiation and O2 exposure is presented, during which the emission color changes as shown in the picture. Light-induced phosphorescence of 1 plays a key role in this behavior.

- 12The emission lifetime of the fluorescence is below the measurement limit of the equipment (<50 μs).
- 13The gadolinium(III) complexes scarcely show the emission from MC (metal-centered) ff, MC fd, MLCT (metal-to-ligand charge transfer), LMCT (ligand-to-metal charge transfer), and MMCT (metal-to-metal charge transfer) excited states, because the Gd3+ ion is highly stabilized by its half-filled f shell: the emission from the intraligand excited states is usually observed. See, Refs. [6h, 9] and [11].
