New surfactant complexes RuM2L2+ have been prepared where M is 2,2'-bipyridyl or o-phenanthro- line and L is one of the 4-alkyl-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridyls (8a)-(8e), or one of the 4,4'-dialkyl-2,2'- bipyridyls (9a)-(9e), or 1,1'-(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-diyl)bis(nonadecan-1-one). This diketone was pre- pared from 2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid and dioctadecylcadmium; the dialkylbipyridyls were obtained by condensing 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl with 5-alkylthiopen-2-carbaldehydes, followed by desulfurization with W5 Raney nickel. Several properties of the new complexes have been compared with those of bis(2,Y-bipyridyl)(dioctadecyl 2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxy1ate)ruthenium dication (2). Monolayers have been prepared and characterized by surface-pressure area curves; film com- pressibilities and stabilities are related to the lengths of the alkyl chains and to subphase composition. Absorption and emission spectra have been examined. The quantum yields and lifetimes of emission are similar in alcohol and water; with monolayer assemblies they are dependent on subphase com- position, and in the solid state they vary between 0.03-0.18 for Φ and 0.5-1.5 μs for τ, according to the chain lengths, which appear to affect crystal packing. Oxygen quenched the luminescence of solutions and supported monolayers reversibly; Stern- Volmer constants and bimolecular quenching constants are given for: diester complex (2), diketone complex (6), dialkylbipyridyl complexes (5). Except with (2) the original luminescence intensity was restored by drying. Hydrogen was not detected following irradiation with visible light of supported monolayers of pure complexes immersed in water.

Fifteen easily assembled ESIPT-active 2′-hydroxychalcones were prepared to identify deep-red crystal-state fluorophores with increased quantum yields. Systematic single-crystal XRD analysis furnished trends in the structure–property relationship.

New pentacyclic indeno[1′,2′:4,5]pyrido[2,1-a]isoindol-5-ones were designed which possess quantum yields in the solid state up to 32%. The importance of the substituent in 7-position was highlighted through crystal packing analysis.

The Europium(III) ternary complexes Eu(BID)3(PHEN) and Eu(MBID)3(PHEN) (BID – 2-benzoyl-1,3-indandione, MBID - 2-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1,3-indandione and PHEN – 1,10-Phenantroline) were synthesized, characterized and incorporated into poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and poly-N-vinylcarbazole (PVK) matrixes. Emission properties in solid-state and polymer films were investigated through excitation spectra, emission spectra and absolute photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY). Both complexes in their solid-state and films exhibited red-light luminescence with narrow bands corresponding to Eu(III) ion emission. In solid-state complexes were characterized with PLQY of 6% and 10%, in PVK matrixes quantum yield dropped down to 4%, however, in PMMA films exhibited similar luminescence PLQY than in solid-state.

<p>The properties of an organic semiconductor are dependent on both the chemical structure of the molecule involved, and how it is arranged in the solid-state. It is challenging to extract the influence of each individual factor, as small changes in the molecular structure often dramatically change the crystal packing and hence solid-state structure. Here, we use calculations to explore the influence of the nitrogen position on the charge mobility of a chiral organic molecule when the crystal packing is kept constant. The transfer integrals for a series of enantiopure aza[6]helicene crystals sharing the same packing were analysed in order to identify the best supramolecular motifs to promote charge carrier mobility. The regioisomers considered differ only in the positioning of the nitrogen atom in the aromatic scaffold. The simulations showed that even this small change in the chemical structure has a strong effect on the charge transport in the crystal, leading to differences in charge mobility of up to one order of magnitude. Some aza[6]helicene isomers that were packed interlocked with each other showed high HOMO-HOMO integrals (up to 70 meV), whilst molecules arranged with translational symmetry generally afforded the highest LUMO-LUMO integrals (40 - 70 meV). As many of the results are not intuitively obvious, a computational approach provides additional insight into the design of new semiconducting organic materials.</p>

Non-symmetrical chiral 4,4′-bipyridines have recently found interest in organocatalysis and medicinal chemistry. In this regard, the development of efficient methods for their synthesis is highly desirable. Herein, a series of non-symmetrical atropisomeric polyhalogenated 4,4′-bipyridines were prepared and further functionalized by using cross-coupling reactions. The desymmetrization step is based on the N-oxidation of one of the two pyridine rings of the 4,4′-bipyridine skeleton. The main advantage of this methodology is the possible post-functionalization of the pyridine N-oxide, allowing selective introduction of chlorine, bromine or cyano groups in 2- and 2′-postions of the chiral atropisomeric 4,4′-bipyridines. The crystal packing in the solid state of some newly prepared derivatives was analyzed and revealed the importance of halogen bonds in intermolecular interactions.

Reactions between Zn(II) dihalides and 2-halogen-substituted pyridines 2-XPy result in a series of heteroleptic molecular complexes [(2-XPy)2ZnY2] (Y = Cl, X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3); Y = Br, X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6), Y = I, X = Cl (7), Br (8), and I (9)). Moreover, 1–7 are isostructural (triclinic), while 8 and 9 are monoclinic. In all cases, halogen bonding plays an important role in formation of crystal packing. Moreover, 1–9 demonstrate luminescence in asolid state; for the best emitting complexes, quantum yield (QY) exceeds 21%.

The development and the photophysical behavior of a transparent ion-exchange membrane based on a pH-sensitive polypyridyl ruthenium(II) complex, [(bpy)2RuII(H2bpib)RuII(bpy)2](ClO4)4 (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine, H2bpib = 1,4-bis([1,10]phenanthroline[5,6-d]-imidazol-2-yl)benzene), are experimentally and theoretically reported. The emission spectra of [(bpy)2RuII(H2bpib)RuII(bpy)2]@Nafion film were observed between pH 2 and pH 11 and showed the highest relative emission intensity at pH 5 (λmaxem = 594.4 nm). The relative emission intensity of the film significantly decreased down to 75% at pH 2 and 11 compared to that of pH 5. The quantum yields (Φ) and lifetimes (τ) showed similar correlations with respect to pH, Φ = 0.13 and τ = 1237 ns at pH 5, and Φ = 0.087 and τ = 1014 ns and Φ = 0.069 and τ = 954 ns at pH 2 and pH 11, respectively. These photophysical data are overall considerably superior to those of the solution, with the radiative- (kr) and non-radiative rate constants (knr) at pH 5 estimated to be kr = 1.06 × 105 s−1 and knr = 7.03 × 105 s−1. Density functional theory calculations suggested the contribution of ligand-to-ligand- and intraligand charge transfer to the imidazolium moiety in Ru-H3bpib species, implying that the positive charge on the H3bpib ligand works as a quencher. The Ru-Hbpib species seems to enhance non-radiative deactivation by reducing the energy of the upper-lying metal-centered excited state. These would be responsible for the pH-dependent “off-on-off” emission behavior.
