Reaction of the β-diketone ligand, 2-cyano-1,3-phenyl-1,3-propandione (LH), with hydrated EuCl3 in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), results in the crystallisation of a one-dimensional Eu3+ coordination polymer of formulation [Eu(Phen)(L)3]∞, formed by coordination of the nitrile group of an O,O′-bound ligand to a neighbouring metal centre. An investigation of the metal-centred emission of the polymer, both in the solid state and solution, revealed red emission characterised by relatively long-lived excited state lifetimes and high intrinsic quantum yields. However, analysis of the overall quantum yield and sensitisation efficiency reveals that ultrafast processes in the ligand potentially inhibit Eu3+ sensitisation. Further investigations into these processes using transient absorption spectroscopy suggest that substitution at the α-C position may significantly decrease sensitisation via the antenna effect.

A novel manganese(III)–porphyrin complex, namely, catena-poly[[chloridomanganese(III)]-μ2-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pyridin-3-yl)-21H,23H-porphinato(2−)-κ5 N 21,N 22,N 23,N 24:N 5], [MnCl(C40H24N8)] n , 1, was prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of manganese chloride with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pyridin-3-yl)-21H,23H-porphine. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The porphyrin macrocycle exhibits a saddle-like distortion geometry. The MnIII atom has a six-coordination geometry. Each porphyrin unit links to two neighbouring units to yield a one-dimensional coordination polymer. These chains are further interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional network. The complex shows red photoluminescence emission bands in ethanol solution, which can be attributed to ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) accompanied by partial metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT), as revealed by TDDFT calculations.

A novel Dy-Hg compound [Dy(HIA)3(H2O)2]2n · 2nHgCl4 · nHgCl5 · nH3O · 3nH2O (1; HIA = isonicotinic acid) was prepared through a hydrothermal reaction and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the space group of C2/c of the monoclinic system. The crystal structure of compound 1 has one-dimensional (1-D) chain-like cations. A photoluminescence experiment with a solid-state sample revealed that this compound exhibits a yellow emission band at 575 nm and, this emission band shall come from the 4f electron 4F9/2 → 6H13/2 characteristic transfer of Dy3+ ions. The compound features CIE chromaticity coordinates of 0.5168 and 0.4824 in the yellow region. A UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrum with a solid-state sample unveiled that this compound possesses a wide optical band gap of 3.39 eV.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are nearly ideal one-dimensional systems with potential applications in a wide range of fields. The rich physics of SWCNTs arise from the excitonic nature of their photophysical properties. This review is focused on the results of novel research activities that explore how the photophysical properties of SWCNTs can be altered via their integration with photonic nanostructures including plasmonic structures and photonic microcavities that have resulted in phenomena such as photocurrent enhancement, selection rule breakdown and photoluminescence (PL) modification.
