United for white: Bright white silica single layers are obtained by exploiting efficient red (Eu 3+ ) and green (Tb 3+ ) luminescent antenna complexes and a blue‐light‐emitting carbazole derivative (see picture). By combining the mild sol–gel solution route with the peculiar chemical and photophysical behaviour of selected light‐emitting species, white luminescent materials with colour stability and shaped architecture are easily obtained through a molecular design strategy.
