Abstract The preparation and structural characterization of phosphinomethylthioethernickel(II) complexes of the general type [NiX2(Ph2PCH2SR)2] (X = CI, Br, I, NCS: R = Me, Ph) are reported. In all the complexes the phosphinomethylthioethers act as monodentate ligands coordinating via the phosphorus atom. The isothiocyanate complexes are diamagnetic both in solution and in the solid state and have been assigned trans-planar configuration. As shown by magnetic measurements and by electronic spectroscopy, the halo complexes exhibit a square-planar (diamagnetic) ⇄ distorted-tetrahedral (paramagnetic) equilibrium in solution, while in the solid state the complexes are either square-planar or distorted-tetrahedral. For the complex [NiBr2(Ph2PCH2SMe)2] both isomers have been isolated in the solid state.

<div><div><div><p>The full blossoming of quantum technologies requires the availability of easy-to-prepare materials where quantum coherences can be effectively initiated, controlled and exploited, preferably at ambient conditions. Solid-state multilayers of colloidally grown quantum dots (QDs) are highly promising for this task because of the possibility of assembling networks of electronically coupled QDs through the modulation of sizes, inter-dot linkers and distances. To usefully probe coherence in these materials, the dynamical characterization of their collective quantum mechanically coupled states is needed. Here we explore by 2D electronic spectroscopy the coherent dynamics of solid-state multilayers of electronically coupled colloidally grown CdSe QDs and complement it by detailed computations. The time evolution of a coherent superposition of states delocalized over more than one QD was captured at ambient conditions. We thus provide important evidence for inter-dot coherences in such solid-state materials, opening up the effective exploitation of these materials towards quantum technologies.</p></div></div></div>

Organophosphate (OP) compounds, a family of highly hazardous chemical compounds included in nerve agents and pesticides, have been linked to more than 250,000 annual deaths connected to various chronic diseases. However, a solid-state sensing system that is able to be integrated into a clothing system is rare in the literature. This study aims to develop a nanofiber-based solid-state polymeric material as a soft sensor to detect OP compounds present in the environment. Esters of polydiacetylene were synthesized and incorporated into a cellulose acetate nanocomposite fibrous assembly developed with an electrospinning technique, which was then hydrolyzed to generate more hydroxyl groups for OP binding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Instron® tensile tester, contact angle analyzer, and UV–Vis spectroscopy were employed for characterizations. Upon hydrolysis, polydiacetylene esters in the cellulosic fiber matrix were found unaffected by hydrolysis treatment, which made the composites suitable for OP sensing. Furthermore, the nanofibrous (NF) composites exhibited tensile properties suitable to be used as a textile material. Finally, the NF composites exhibited colorimetric sensing of OP, which is visible to the naked eye. This research is a landmark study toward the development of OP sensing in a protective clothing system.
