Pressure-induced phosphorescence enhancement and piezochromism of a carbazole-based cyclic trinuclear Cu(i) complex.

ABSTRACT: Interest in piezochromic luminescence has increased in recent decades, even though it is mostly limited to pure organic compounds and fluorescence. In this work, a Cu₃Pz₃ (Cu3, Pz: pyrazolate) cyclic trinuclear complex (CTC) with two different crystalline polymorphs, namely 1a and 1b, was synthesized. The CTC consists of two functional moieties: carbazole (Cz) chromophore and Cu3 units. In crystals of 1a, discrete Cz-Cu3-Cu3-Cz stacking was found, showing abnormal pressure-induced phosphorescence enhancement (PIPE), which was 12 times stronger at 2.23 GPa compared to under ambient conditions. This novel observation is ascribed to cooperation between heavy-atom effects (i.e., from Cu atoms) and metal-ligand charge-transfer promotion. The infinite π-π stacking of Cz motifs was observed in 1b and it exhibited good piezochromism as the pressure increased. This work demonstrates a new concept in the design of piezochromic materials to achieve PIPE via combining organic chromophores and metal-organic phosphorescence emitters.

Pressure-and temperature induced phase transitions, piezochromism, NLC behaviour and pressure controlled Jahn-Teller switching in a Cu-based framework.

Project description:In situ single-crystal diffraction and spectroscopic techniques have been used to study a previously unreported Cu-framework bis[1-(4-pyridyl)butane-1,3-dione]copper(ii) (CuPyr-I). CuPyr-I was found to exhibit high-pressure and low-temperature phase transitions, piezochromism, negative linear compressibility, and a pressure induced Jahn-Teller switch, where the switching pressure was hydrostatic media dependent.

Highly Efficient Aggregation-Induced Room-Temperature Phosphorescence with Extremely Large Stokes Shift Emitted from Trinuclear Gold(I) Complex Crystals.

Project description:Highly efficient (≈75% quantum yield), aggregation-induced phosphorescence is reported. The phosphorescence is emitted at room temperature and in the presence of air from crystals of trinuclear Au(I) complexes, accompanied by an extremely large Stokes shift of 2.2 × 104 cm-1 (450 nm). The mechanism of the aggregation-induced room-temperature phosphorescence from the Au complex crystals was investigated in terms of the crystal packing structure and the primary structure of the molecules. It was found that two kinds of intermolecular interactions occurred in the crystals, and that these multiple dual-mode intermolecular interactions in the crystals play a crucial role in the in-air room-temperature phosphorescence of the trinuclear Au(I) complexes.

Trinuclear Magnesium Imidazolate Borohydride Complex.

Project description:A new type of hybrid compound, combining properties of MOFs and borohydrides, was synthesized solvothermally using Mg(BH4)2 and imidazole as precursors. Material in the form of acetonitrile solvate with formula [Mg3{(Im)BH2(Im)}6(ImH)6]·CH3CN crystallizes in the space group R3̅, having the unit cell parameters a = 15.1942(2) Å and c = 28.3157(3) Å as determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure was further investigated by solid-state NMR and DFT quantum chemical calculations. The main feature of the structure, reported here for the first time, is a linear trinuclear complex, where octahedrally nitrogen-coordinated Mg2+ ions are bridged with {(Im)BH2(Im)}- units, forming inside voids of 4.6 Å in diameter between the magnesium ions. Polar intermolecular interactions hold the molecules in a dense rhombohedral stacking, where a disordered acetonitrile molecule plays a cohesive role. The compound is stable in air and upon heating to about 160 °C. Using an alternative synthesis method from an imidazole melt, an imidazole solvate with the formula [Mg3{(Im)BH2(Im)}6(ImH)6]·ImH and a very similar crystal structure to acetonitrile solvate was prepared. It is stable up to 220 °C. Upon further heating, it transformed into a layered structure with the formula Mg(Im3BH)2, space group P3̅1c, and unit cell parameters a = 8.7338(9) Å and c = 17.621(2) Å determined by synchrotron powder diffraction. Besides its structural novelty, two types of potentially reactive hydrogens, bonded to boron and nitrogen in the same molecule, make the material highly interesting for future investigations in the fields of energy storage applications.

Absorbate-induced piezochromism in a porous molecular crystal.

Project description:Atmospherically stable porous frameworks and materials are interesting for heterogeneous solid-gas applications. One motivation is the direct and selective uptake of pollutant/hazardous gases, where the material produces a measurable response in the presence of the analyte. In this report, we present a combined experimental and theoretical rationalization for the piezochromic response of a robust and porous molecular crystal built from an extensively fluorinated trispyrazole. The electronic response of the material is directly determined by analyte uptake, which provokes a subtle lattice contraction and an observable bathochromic shift in the optical absorption onset. Selectivity for fluorinated absorbates is demonstrated, and toluene is also found to crystallize within the pore. Furthermore, we demonstrate the application of electronic structure calculations to predict a physicochemical response, providing the foundations for the design of electronically tunable porous solids with the chemical properties required for development of novel gas-uptake media.

Pressure Induced Enhancement of Superconductivity in LaRu2P2.

Project description:To explore new superconductors beyond the copper-based and iron-based systems is very important. The Ru element locates just below the Fe in the periodic table and behaves like the Fe in many ways. One of the common thread to induce high temperature superconductivity is to introduce moderate correlation into the system. In this paper, we report the significant enhancement of superconducting transition temperature from 3.8 K to 5.8 K by using a pressure only of 1.74 ± 0.05 GPa in LaRu2P2 which has an iso-structure of the iron-based 122 superconductors. The ab-initio calculation shows that the superconductivity in LaRu2P2 at ambient pressure can be explained by the McMillan's theory with strong electron-phonon coupling. However, it is difficult to interpret the enhancement of Tc versus pressure within this picture. Detailed analysis of the pressure induced evolution of resistivity and upper critical field Hc2(T) reveals that the increase of Tc with pressure may be accompanied by the involvement of extra electron-boson interaction. This suggests that the Ru-based system has some commonality as the Fe-based superconductors.

A salen-type trinuclear Zn2Gd complex.

Project description:In the trinuclear title complex, di-?-acetato-1:2?(2)O:O';2:3?(2)O:O'-bis-{?-6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[cyclo-hexane-1,2-diylbis(methanylyl-idene)]diphenolato}-1:2?(6)O(1),N,N',O(1'):O(6),O(6');2:3?(6)O(6),O(6'):O(1),N,N',O(1')-2-gadolinium(III)-1,3-dizinc hexa-fluor-idophosphate methanol monosolvate monohydrate, [GdZn2(C22H24N2O4)2(CH3COO)2]PF6·CH3OH·H2O, the two Zn(II) ions are located in the inner N2O2 cavities of two 6,6'-dimeth-oxy-2,2'-[cyclo-hexane-1,2-diylbis(methanylyl-idene)]diphenolate (L) ligands. Both Zn(II) ions are five-coordinated by two O atoms and two N atoms from the L ligand and one O atom of an acetic acid mol-ecule, giving rise to a square-pyramidal geometry around the Zn(II) ions. The Gd(III) ion is nine-coordinated by four O atoms from the outer O2O2 sites of one ligand, and three O atoms from another ligand, in which there is one non-coordinating meth-oxy O atom. Two further O atom from different acetate ligands complete the nine-coordinate environment.

Cyclic pressure induced decellularization of porcine descending aortas.

Project description:The demand for decellularized xenogeneic tissues used in reconstructive heart surgery has increased over the last decades. Complete decellularization of longer and tubular aortic sections suitable for clinical application has not been achieved so far. The present study aims at analyzing the effect of pressure application on decellularization efficacy of porcine aortas using a device specifically designed for this purpose. Fresh porcine descending aortas of 8 cm length were decellularized using detergents. To increase decellularization efficacy, detergent treatment was combined with pressure application and different treatment schemes. Quantification of penetration depth as well as histological staining, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile strength tests were used to evaluate tissue structure. In general, application of pressure to aortic tissue does neither increase the decellularization success nor the penetration depth of detergents. However, it is of importance from which side of the aorta the pressure is applied. Application of intermittent pressure from the adventitial side does significantly increase the decellularization degree at the intimal side (compared to the reference group), but had no influence on the penetration depth of SDC/SDS at both sides. Although the present setup does not significantly improve the decellularization success of aortas, it is interesting that the application of pressure from the adventitial side leads to improved decellularization of the intimal side. As no adverse effects on tissue structure nor on mechanical properties were observed, optimization of the present protocol may potentially lead to complete decellularization of larger aortic segments.

Aggregation-induced enhanced emission-type cruciform luminophore constructed by carbazole exhibiting mechanical force-induced luminescent enhancement and chromism.

Project description:One D-A type cruciform luminophore MDCS-BC based on carbazole has been prepared. We observed that this compound exhibits unique intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) and typical aggregation-induced enhanced emission (AIEE) properties with the solid-state luminescence efficiency of 0.184. Moreover, this luminophore shows a significant stimuli-induced emission enhancement and chromism effect with good reversibility. Upon grinding, the fluorescence color of the as-prepared samples can change from blue (454 nm) to green (504 nm). What is unexpected is that the fluorescence efficiency of the initial powder is dramatically increased from 0.184 to 0.424 upon grinding. The results of PXRD, DSC and spectral properties studies show that the mechanical force-induced luminescence enhancement and chromism behavior of MDCS-BC originates from the transition between crystal and amorphous morphology, and the large red-shift and the emission enhancement inducing by grinding may be attributed to the planarization of the molecular conformation and subsequent planar ICT process.

Pressure Induced Stability Enhancement of Cubic Nanostructured CeO2 †.

Project description:Ceria (CeO2)-based materials are widely used in applications such as catalysis, fuel cells and oxygen sensors. Its cubic fluorite structure with a cell parameter similar to that of silicon makes it a candidate for implementation in electronic devices. This structure is stable in a wide temperature and pressure range, with a reported structural phase transition to an orthorhombic phase. In this work, we study the structure of CeO2 under hydrostatic pressures up to 110 GPa simultaneously for the nanometer- and micrometer-sized powders as well as for a single crystal, using He as the pressure-transmitting medium. The first-order transition is clearly present for the micrometer-sized and single-crystal samples, while, for the nanometer grain size powder, it is suppressed up to at least 110 GPa. We show that the stacking fault density increases by two orders of magnitude in the studied pressure range and could act as an internal constraint, avoiding the nucleation of the high-pressure phase.

Self-trapped exciton emission and piezochromism in conventional 3D lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals under high pressure.

Project description:Developing single-component materials with bright-white emission is required for energy-saving applications. Self-trapped exciton (STE) emission is regarded as a robust way to generate intrinsic white light in halide perovskites. However, STE emission usually occurs in low-dimensional perovskites whereby a lower level of structural connectivity reduces the conductivity. Enabling conventional three-dimensional (3D) perovskites to produce STEs to elicit competitive white emission is challenging. Here, we first achieved STEs-related emission of white light with outstanding chromaticity coordinates of (0.330, 0.325) in typical 3D perovskites, Mn-doped CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs), through pressure processing. Remarkable piezochromism from red to blue was also realized in compressed Mn-doped CsPbBr3 NCs. Doping engineering by size-mismatched Mn dopants could give rise to the formation of localized carriers. Hence, high pressure could further induce octahedra distortion to accommodate the STEs, which has never occurred in pure 3D perovskites. Our study not only offers deep insights into the photophysical nature of perovskites, it also provides a promising strategy towards high-quality, stable white-light emission.
