The density functional theory(DFT) and time-dependent DFT calculation were expanded on H_3bptc, which point to the occurrence of “antenna effect”. The minor diameter samples of Eubptc, Tbbptc, and Gdbptc can also be attained via the microwave synthesis and employed for handwriting anticounterfeiting. Interestingly, the typical red emission of Eu^(3+) and green emission of Tb~(3+) could be fine-tuned by Gd^(3+) via chemical mixing to be full-color emissions bimetallic doped Eu_(x)Tb_(1-x)bptc, Eu_(x)Gd_(1-x)bptc, and Tb_(x)Gd_(1-x)bptc. The above synthetic bimetallic MOFs can be fixed in positioning boxes of quick response(QR) codes with diverse emission for anticounterfeiting. The message can be decoded under the irradiation of 365 nm ultraviolet lamp while invisible in the daylight. Notably, the trimetallic doped Eu_(0.12)Tb_(0.52)Gd_(0.36)bptc emits white light with the CIE color coordinate(0.34, 0.34). Furthermore, Tbbptc is demonstrated to be a sensitive probe toward nitrobenzene and acetone with multiple mechanisms.展开更多

文摘Smart materials that integrate multi-stimuli response,full reversibility,and dual-visual read-out channel are highly desired for anticounterfeiting and information encryption applications.Herein,we developed a multiresponsive perchlorate terpyridyl Pt(Ⅱ)nano complex which could undergo fully reversible conversion between three forms stimulated by water or formaldehyde molecule due to the extent of Pt–Pt interaction.Meanwhile,a dual-visual channel,i.e.,the colorimetric channel changed from yellow to orange or red and the corresponding luminescent channel from orange to orange-red or red,has also been found.The weak and equivalent strength of ion-dipole interaction and hydrogen bond that generated between formaldehyde/water and Pt(II)salt result in the easy-control reversibility between the three forms.Furthermore,by introducing different polymer matrices,1Cl·ClO_(4)@PMMA(1Cl·ClO_(4):[Pt(tpy)Cl]·ClO4,tpy:2,2':6',2''-terpyridine),PMMA:poly(methyl methacrylate))and 1Cl·ClO4@PVA(PVA:polyvinyl alcohol)are successfully constructed,which exhibit different reversible behaviors since the PMMA and PVA matrix exert different influences on the strength of hydrogen-bond.Those smart Pt(II)salt nanostructures present great potential for high-security-level anticounterfeiting application.

文摘Solid-state fluorescent switches with reversible luminescence characteristics have attracted considerable attention because of their broad applications in advanced photonics,such as anticounterfeiting inks,optical writing and erasing,and biological imaging.Herein,we have fabricated a solid-state reversible fluorescent switch under alternating UV(365 nm)and visible light treatments based on a fulgide(FUL)-functionalized tetraphenylethylene(TPE)derivative(TPE-FUL)containing a photochromic group FUL and aggregation-induced emission(AIE)luminogen TPE.TPE-FUL exhibited excellent reversible absorption and luminescence owing to the interconversion between open TPE-FUL(O-TPE-FUL)and closed TPE-FUL(C-TPE-FUL).Photophysical and theoretical investigations revealed that the luminescence of O-TPE-FUL is based on the local excited state of the TPE moiety,whereas the fluorescence quenching of C-TPE-FUL originates from the intramolecular charge transfer from the TPE to the FUL moiety.The excellent reversible photoswitching properties of TPE-FUL in the solid state allows for its potential use in advanced optical memory applications,such as anticounterfeiting,optical writing and erasing,and information encryption.

文摘Sable organic radicals are promising materials for information storage,molecular magnetism,electronic devices,and biological probes.Many organic radicals have been prepared,but most are non-or weakly emissive and degrade easily upon photoexcitation.It remains challenging to produce stable and efficient luminescent radicals because of the absence of general guidelines for their synthesis.Herein,we present a photoactivation approach to generate a stable luminescent radical from tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosph ine(TCPP)with red emission in the crystal state.The mechanistic study suggests that the molecular symmetry breaking in the crystal causes changes of molecular conformation,redox properties,andmolecular packing that facilitates radical generation and stabilization.This design strategy demonstrates a straightforward approach to develop stable organic luminescent radicals that will open new doors to photoinduced luminescent radical materials.

文摘Lewis acid−base adducts resulting from instantaneous interactions provide a cost-effective strategy for color tuning and anticounterfeiting information.Herein,we report the construction of luminescent Lewis acid−base adducts via inkjet printing.Due to the unique weak coordination bond of B→N,it is feasible to construct anticounterfeiting information that is easy to erase.The in situ postsynthesis of the luminescent quick response codes via inkjet printing facilitates precision chemistry control to change the emission ranging from deep-blue(peaking at 407 nm)to orange-red(peaking at 597 nm).The encrypted information can be quickly erased either by modulating the temperature to dissociate the weak coordination or strong Lewis base to promote a neutralization reaction.
