abstract: two new transition metal complexes, containing the acidic ligand 5-chlorosalicylic acid (h2l5), and 1,10-phenanthroline（phen） and 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane (bpp) as secondary ligands are reported. they are formulated as {[pb(hl5)2(phen)(h2o)]·h2o}n(1), [zn2(hl5)4(bpp)2]n(2). all the complexes are characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffractions. compoud 1 crystallizes in the triclini...

Photoluminescent hydrogels have emerged as novel soft materials with potential applications in many fields. Although many photoluminescent hydrogels have been fabricated, their scope of usage has been severely limited by their poor mechanical performance. Here, a facile strategy is reported for preparing lanthanide (Ln)-alginate/polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels with both high toughness and photo...

The reactions of the dithiolato-o-carborane salt (Et3NH)2(S2C2B10H10) (2) with alkyl halides BrCH2CH=CH2, BrCH2CH2CH2Cl and C6H5CH2Cl, afford the o-carboranyl-bisthioether derivatives 3a – c, which have been characterized by IR and NMR (1H, 13C, 11B) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (3c). The photoluminescent properties of the known compound 3c has been inve...

Herein we report the synthesis and optoelectronic characterisation of three deep blue-emitting cationic iridium complexes, of the form [Ir(dFppy)(2)(N^N)]PF(6), bearing biimidazole-type N^N ancillary ligands (dFppyH = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine). Complex 1 contains the parent biimidazole, biim, while 2 contains a dimethylated analog, dMebiim, and 3 contains an ortho-xylyl-tethered biimidzol...

A contemporary question in the intensely active field of periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials is how large a silsesquioxane precursor can be self-assembled under template direction into the pore walls of an ordered mesostructure. An answer to this question is beginning to emerge with the ability to synthesize dendrimer, buckyball, and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane PMOs. In th...

In the present work we report the synthesis and the electrochemical, photoluminescent and electroluminescent properties of two new Ru(II) complexes described by the general formula [Ru(phen)2X](2+), where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline. The X ligand consists of a 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) unit substituted with two phenyl rings connected to the bpy core through a saturated (Lhydro = 4,4'-diphenylethyl-...

The surface of CdSe nanoparticles was functionalized with 11-hydroxyundecanoic acid (11-HUDA) during in situ preparation to afford stable and highly luminescent quantum dot (QD) solutions. The reactivity of the hydroxyl groups of 11-HUDA was then utilized in carbamate bond forming reactions with diisocyanate-bearing molecules that serve as linkers in the fabrication of the multilayered CdSe qua...

A new perylene bisimide dye has been synthesized which self-assembles into columnar nanoaggregates and liquid crystalline mesophases with striking photoluminescent properties.
