HOT Article: The key to photoluminescent lanthanide complexes

18 Mar 2011

In this Dalton Transactions HOT article, Chinese researchers designed and synthesized two novel iridium(III) complexes, [Ir(dfppy)₂(pmc)] and [Ir(ppy)₂(pmc)] (dfppy = 2-(4′,6′-difluoro-phenyl)pyridine, ppy = 1-phenyl-pyridine), using 2-carboxyl-pyrimidine (Hpmc) as an ancillary ligand.

Photophysical and theoretical studies indicated that the key to designing a heteronuclear complex
with efficient energy transfer between the complex “ligand” and europium ion is matching of the energy levels. This important finding opens the way for potentially designing more biologically applicable devices as the photon exciton energy needed which can be harmful for such applications can be minimised.

Hot Article: Molecular sensors for picric acid

04 Mar 2011

A new class of heterometallic squares possessing a metal-based donor via the self-assembly approach have been synthesised and found to be useful for molecular sensing of aromatics particularly picric acid. Further studies are underway of the host–guest chemistry involved together with detailed photophysical studies.

Perspective: Microwave synthesis of MOFs

03 Feb 2011

Microwave heating used in organic chemistry for decades has only recently been applied to Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOF).

In this Dalton Transactions Perspective, Klinowski and co-workers clearly describe the advantages of using microwave synthesis to prepare a range of coordination network materials: short reaction times, fast kinetics of crystal nucleation and growth, and high yields of desirable products which can be isolated with few or no secondary products. The growth of nano-sized crystallites which may find direct applications in functional devices is highlighted.

Infinite winding water chain

Syntheses, structures and properties of two unusual silver–organic coordination networks: 1D-1D tubular intertwinement and existence of an infinite winding water chain
Bo Li, Shuang-Quan Zang, Can Ji, Chen-Xia Du, Hong-Wei Hou and Thomas C. W. Mak
Dalton Trans., 2011, 40, 788-792
Cover article – Check out the science behind the art of our most recent cover for Dalton Transactions, volume 40, issue 4

Two new silver(I) coordination polymers have been constructed from the flexible H3btc and
bridging bpy ligands under different conditions. The results indicate that different coordination modes play a vital role in the assembly of supramolecular architectures. The new polymers represent the first example of 1D-1D parallel interpenetrated tubular chains in a coordination polymer, and a double-ladder structure, in which an infinite winding water chain has been identified
