Solvatochromic effects in absorption and luminescence spectra and stability of emission quantum yield of carbon nanoparticles (part I)

The features of the solvatochromic effects of absorption (Ab) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra, as well as the quantum yield of emission (QYE) of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) synthesized by various methods from a mixture of citric acid and nitrogen-containing precursors, in protic and aprotic solvents have been studied. It has been shown that the parameters of the spectra Ab, PL and the QYE value of particle solutions to a large extent depend on the method, conditions and modes of synthesis, the method of modification and separation of CNPs, the types and composition of precursors, and also the fundamental properties and pH of solvents. In solvents with a dielectric constant of 4.5 – 109.5, the QYE value of particles varies in a wide range from 10.8 to 100.0 %, and the PL band peak shifts from 466.4 to 536.8 nm. The presence of strong solvatochromic effects in the spectra of Ab and PL particles was shown, and the important role of the processes of protonation and deprotonation of surface groups of CNPs was established. The influence of universal and specific interactions on the spectroscopic parameters of CNPs has been investigated, and a significant contribution to the solvatochromic effects of specific interactions has been demonstrated.

A C^N Cycloplatinated(II) Fluorido Complex: Photophysical Studies and Csp3‒F Bond Formation

<div>This work reports the synthesis and characterization of a new C^N-based cycloplatinated(II) fluorido complex [Pt(ppy)PPh3)F] involving a Pt‒F bond. The new complex is highly luminescent in green area with a high quantum yield of 94.6% at 77K. A comparison study of the heavier of halogen derivatives reveals a descending emission quantum yield order of F > Cl > Br > I. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations ascribe the decreased emission efficiency to the decreasing trend of ILCT transition from F to I, which accounts for the major radiative pathway.</div>

Nitridated Ca2NaMg2V3O12: Eu3+ Vanadate Garnet Phosphor-in-Glass

In this study, Ca2NaMg2V3O12 coordination compound undoped and doped with Eu3+ obtained in the air and ammonia atmosphere by solid-state reaction was investigated. Ca2NaMg2V3O12: Eu3+ obtained in the ammonia atmosphere was then investigated as a phosphor-in-glass (PiG). Annealed Ca2NaMg2V3O12: Eu3+ phosphor forms a single phase with the cubic garnet structure and Ia3d space group. Nitridation in ammonia causes a widening of a VO43− group emission band on the low energy side and it red-shifts by 20 nm. The emission of Eu3+ is extended as compared to the non-nitridated phosphor. Ca2NaMg2V3O12: Eu3+ after nitridation shows higher emission quantum yield (QY): 49 vs. 45 and lower correlated color temperature (CCT) and 4179 vs. 4998 as compared to phosphor without nitridation. The QY for PiG is 55. The thermal stability of nitridated phosphors is superior to phosphor obtained in the air atmosphere and is further enhanced for PiG.
