AbstractSolid-state chemistry has been used to control both the size and the interconnection distance of small II-VI semiconductor moeities incorporated in zeolitic hosts with the sodalite-type structure. Structural characterization was carried out using X-ray Rietveld powder methods, and optical properties of these materials were also measured. These novel materials show quantum superlattice effects as evidenced by blue shifts in their optical absorption spectra.

ABSTRACTSeveral series of sodali te analogues of unit cell composition M8X2(TO2)12, where M is Zn or Cd, X is a chalcogen, and T is a tetrahedral cation B, or Be in combination with Si or Ge, have been prepared. An M4X tetrahedron, which is the first coordination sphere of the bulk semiconductor MX, sits at the center of each sodalite cage. These materials have been structurally characterized by solid state 77Se and 125STe MAS NMR and by powder X-ray diffraction. Diffuse reflectance optical absorption spectra are reported for each series. The borates have optical properties similar to the bulk MX whereas the beryllosilicates and germanates exhibit large blue shifts in the absorption spectra.

Achieving outstanding physical and optical properties of borosulfophosphate glasses via controlled doping of rare earth ions is the key issue in the fabrication of new and highly-efficient glass material for diverse optical applications. Thus, the effect of replacing P2O5 by Dy2O3 on the physical and optical properties of Dy[Formula: see text]-doped lithium-borosulfophosphate glasses with chemical composition of 15Li2O–30B2O3–15SO3–[Formula: see text]P2O5–[Formula: see text]Dy2O3 (where 0.0 mol.% [Formula: see text] mol.%) has been investigated. The glass samples were synthesized from high-purity raw materials via convectional melt-quenching technique and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), density and UV–vis–NIR absorption measurements. The amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples was confirmed by XRD patterns whereas the EDX spectrum depicts elemental traces of O, C, B, S, P and Dy. The physical parameters such as density, refractive index, molar volume, polaron radius and field strength were found to vary nonlinearly with increasing Dy2O3 concentration. UV–vis–NIR absorption spectra revealed seven absorption bands with most dominant peak at 1269 nm (6H[Formula: see text]F[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]). From the optical absorption spectra, the optical bandgap and Urbach’s energy have been determined and are related with the structural changes occurring in these glasses with increase in Dy2O3 content. Meanwhile, the bonding parameters ([Formula: see text]) evaluated from the optical absorption spectra were found to be ionic in nature. The superior features exhibited by the current glasses nominate them as potential candidate for nonlinear optical applications.

The reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

The synthesis and optical characterization of novel single-benzene ESIPT-based fluorophores is described in solid state and in solution. Special attention is given towards the influence of their unique substitution pattern on their optical properties. Depending on this pattern, aggregation induced emission or aggregation caused quenching (ACQ) is observed in the solid state.<br>

Three new lanthanide thioantimonates(V) [Ln(en)(teta)(SbS4)] {Ln=Sm (1), Eu (2), Gd (3); en=ethylenediamine; teta=triethylenetetramine} have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Compounds 1 - 3 are isostructural. The [SbS4]3- anion acting as bichelating ligand is bound to the [Ln(en)(teta)]3+ ion, resulting in a neutral complex [Ln(en)(teta)(SbS4)]. The central Ln3+ ion lies within an eight-coordinate environment forming a distorted bicapped trigonal prism LnN6S2. Although a few lanthanide thioantimonates have been reported to date, they only contain one type of ethylene polyamine. Compounds 1 - 3 are rare examples of lanthanide thioantimonates with mixed ethylene polyamine ligands. The absorption edges of 1:75 eV for 1 and 2:27 eV for 3 have been derived from optical absorption spectra.

The compound [Hg3S2CI2] has been obtained by solid-state reactions. It crystallises in the acentric space group R3 of the rhombohedral system with six formula units in a cell [ a = b = 12.654(3), c = 7.753(4) Å, V = 1075.1(6) Å3, CI2Hg3S2, M r = 736.79, D c = 6.828 g cm−3, S = 0.987, μ(Mo Kα) = 65.308 mm−1, F(000) = 1836, R = 0.0631 and wR = 0.1443] and is characterised by a 3-D framework structure, which is composed of interconnected right-handed helices formed by tetrahedral Hg atoms. Optical absorption spectra reveal the presence of an optical bandgap of 2.51 eV and the composition Hg3S2CI2 is confirmed by semiquantitative microscope analysis.
