4. A number of reports dealing with lanthanide luminescence in organic solution have been published using organic complexes. In this case the organic ligand is still close to the lanthanide ion leading to very efficient quenching by the ligand. See for example (a) Yanagida, S.; Hasegawa, Y.; Murakoshi, K.; Wada, Y.; Nakashima, N.; Yamanaka, T. Coord. Chem. Rev. 1998, 171, 461.

16. The ligand was changed from pyridinium di-n-tetradecyldithiophosphate to ammonium di-n-octadecyldithiophosphate because particles stabilized with this ligand show higher dispersibility after drying.
