Herein, within the RE series, the borderline for phase transformation was identified as Tb/Dy for α-NaREF4 NPs and Sm/Eu for β-NaREF4 NPs, respectively. Also, given the large interest in luminescent NPs for, e.g. biomedical applications, optically active Ln3+ ions (Ln = Nd, Eu, Tb, Er/Yb) were doped into α/β-NaGdF4 host NPs, and the dopant influence on the chemical stability was evaluated. Steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy unveiled spectral features characteristic for Ln3+ f-f transitions, i.e. downshifting and upcon
