The fac-Ir(ppy)₃ complex, where ppy denotes 2-phenylpyridine, is one of the well-known luminescent metal complexes having a high quantum yield. However, there have been no specific molecular design guidelines for color tuning. For example, it is still unclear how its optical properties are changed when changing substitution groups of ligands. Therefore, in this study, differences in the electro...

Abstract Peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction is still an important issue in the next-generation mobile communication networks using higher frequency bands. Recently, we have proposed a PAPR reduction technique called blind selected mapping (blind SLM), which does not require side-information transmission and is able to reduce the PAPR effectively without bit-error rate (BER) degradatio...

Here, we report the findings from a study on charge transport and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of N-(4-methoxybenzylidene) isonicotinohydrazone (INH) some its derivatives named INH1-INH15. The density functional theory (DFT) approach was used for ground state computations at B3LYP-D/6-311G (d,p) level theory, while time-dependent (TD-DFT) carried out CAM-B3LYP/6-311G level. results show t...

Six new Re(i) complexes of the general formula [ReCl(CO)3(4'-R-terpy-κ(2)N)] with 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-based ligands have been synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR ((1)H and (13)C), UV-Vis spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis. The luminescent properties of [ReCl(CO)3(4'-R-terpy-κ(2)N)] were studied in solution and solid state, at 298 and 77 K, respectively. To obtain detailed i...

The type 1 (T1) or blue Cu (BC) proteins are a highly studied group of electron transfer (ET) active sites in bioinorganic chemistry. In this review, we cover several more recent results which extend the understanding of the geometric and electronic structure of these interesting Cu ET sites. Spectroscopicmethods in tandemwithdensity functional theory (DFT) and timedependent-DFT (TD-DFT) calcul...

A new family consisting of three luminescent neutral Ir(III) complexes with the unprecedented [Ir(C^N^C)(N^N)Cl] architecture, where C^N^C is a bis(six-membered) chelating tridentate tripod ligand derived from 2-benzhydrylpyridine (bnpy) and N^N is 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dtBubpy), is reported. X-ray crystallography reveals an unexpected and unusual double C-H bond activation of the...

Coumarin-based dyes have been successfully used in dye-sensitized solar cells, leading to photovoltaic conversion efficiencies of up to about 8%. Given the need to better understand the behavior of the dye adsorbed on the TiO₂ nanoparticle, we report results of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) studies of several coumarin-based dyes, as well as complex systems cons...

A systematic vibrational spectroscopic assignment and analysis of pregabalin has been carried out by using FTIR, FT-Raman spectral data. The vibrational analysis were aided by electronic structure calculations-hybrid density functional methods (B3LYP) performed with 631G(d,p) basis set. Molecular equilibrium geometries, electronic energies, natural bond order analysis, IR intensities, and harmo...
