However, it remains highly challenging to develop a versatile methodology for constructing highly emissive metallacycles with targeted functionalities and therefore soughtafter properties. Herein, we report a general strategy to construct a series of highly emissive perylene diimide-based metallacycles via the self-assembly of perylene diimide-based tetrapyridyl ligand with different dicarboxylic ligands featuring fixed angles and cis-Pt(PEt_(3))_(2)(OTf)_(2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses verify the formation of bowtie-like metallacycles with two triangular cavities. Notably, the fluorescence quantum yields of most assemblies exceed 98%, amongst the highest values for metallacycles.Additionally, such metallacycles exhibit sensitive fluorescence responses toward picric acid with a detection limit of 2.8 × 10^(-6)mol/L. This study not only provides a rational strategy for preparing highly emissive bowtie-shaped metallacycles, but also sheds light on their usage in the detection of picric acid and associated compounds.展开更多

However, the current controllable equipment and mechanism explanation of CDs are relatively vague and require urgent resolution.Full-color emission CDs, an essential CDs category, have attracted people’s attention given their light and color-tunable properties. In addition to a wider range of biological and optoelectronic device applications, full-color emission CDs have similar structures and significantly affected the fluorescence mechanism of CDs. At present, few studies have reported on the summary research of CDs emitted by its full color, which greatly limits the development of CDs mechanisms and applications. As such, the present review detailed the full-color CDs development status, to which a suitable method for preparing full-color CDs was presented and the existing fluorescence emission mechanism of full-color CDs was summarized.Herein, we comprehensively introduced full-color CDs applications in biology and optoelectronics. Finally,we made an outlook on the development and potential applications of full-color CDs. The present review aims to contribute novel insights and methods for understanding full-color CDs.展开更多

While, the emissions of most reported CDs are located in the blue to green range under the excitation of ultraviolet or blue light, which severely limits their practical applications, especially in photovoltaic and biological fields. Studies that focused on synthesizing CDs with long-wavelength(red to near-infrared) emission/excitation features(simply named L-w CDs) and exploring their potential applications have been frequently reported in recent years. In this review, we analyzed the key influence factors for the synthesis of CDs with long wavelength and multicolor(containing long wavelength) emissive properties, discussed possible fluorescence mechanism,and summarized their applications in sensing and cancer theranostics. Finally, the existing challenges and potential opportunities of L-w CDs are presented.展开更多

As such, the present review detailed the full-color CDs development status, to which a suitable method for preparing full-color CDs was presented and the existing fluorescence emission mechanism of full-color CDs was summarized.Herein, we comprehensively introduced full-color CDs applications in biology and optoelectronics. Finally,we made an outlook on the development and potential applications of full-color CDs. The present review aims to contribute novel insights and methods for understanding full-color CDs.

文摘Solid-state materials that exhibit pressure stimulus-response characteristics in a manner of emission signal,known as piezochromic luminescence(PCL),demonstrate great potential in photoelectric devices.The weakened luminescence and insignificant color change in the aggregation state,however,hampers their practical applications.Herein,a highly emissive coordination polymer,[Zn2(H4TTPE)(H2O)4]·H2O(CUST-805),is successfully constructed by employing an AIE-active chromophore as the building block.The structural characterization and photophysical properties are systematically studied.Owing to intrinsic twisted conformation and AIE feature of tetraphenylethylene-tetrazole ligand,CUST-805 achieves the visible and reversible PCL from blue to green switched by different external stimuli.The transformation between crystalline and amorphous states is proved to be the origin of present PCL behavior.Moreover,on basis of electron and energy transfer quenching mechanism,the highly selective and sensitive sensor based on CUST-805 is realized,showing the low detection limit of 0.29 ppm towards 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.

文摘Carbon dots(CDs), as a new member of carbon nanostructures, have been widely applied in extensive fields due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. While, the emissions of most reported CDs are located in the blue to green range under the excitation of ultraviolet or blue light, which severely limits their practical applications, especially in photovoltaic and biological fields. Studies that focused on synthesizing CDs with long-wavelength(red to near-infrared) emission/excitation features(simply named L-w CDs) and exploring their potential applications have been frequently reported in recent years. In this review, we analyzed the key influence factors for the synthesis of CDs with long wavelength and multicolor(containing long wavelength) emissive properties, discussed possible fluorescence mechanism,and summarized their applications in sensing and cancer theranostics. Finally, the existing challenges and potential opportunities of L-w CDs are presented.
文摘In this paper,a white organic light-emitting device(WOLEDs) with multiple-emissive-layer structure has been fabricated.The device has a simple structure of indium tin oxide(ITO)/NPB(20 nm)//DPVBi(20 nm)/CDBP:x Ir(btp)2acac(10 nm)/Alq3(25 nm)/BCP(5 nm)/Cs F(1 nm)/Al(150 nm)(x= 0.15,2.5 and 3.0 wt%),where NPB and BCP are used as the hole-injecting layer,electron transporting and hole blocking layer,respectively.White light emission was realized in an OLED with 2.5% Ir(btp)2acac doping concentration.The device exhibits peak efficiency of 1.93 cd/A at 9 V and maximum brightness of 7005 cd/m^2 at 14 V.The Commission International de I'Eclairage(CIE)(1931) coordinates of white emission are well within the white zone,which moves from(0.35,0.33) to(0.26,0.30) when the applied voltage is varied from 5 V to 14 V.

文摘Multi-color and white light luminescence materials based on supramolecular assemblies are attractive because of their potential applications in advanced light-emitting material.Herein,a cucurbit[8]urilenhanced lanthanide luminescent supramolecular assembly was constructed in a facile but efficient way using terpyridine imidozalium cations,cucurbit[8]urils and rare earth ions such as Tb3+and Eu3+.Significantly,the resultant fibrous supramolecular assembly,with an average width of 15 nm,could emit remarkable lanthanide luminescence,which was ten times higher than the corresponding terpyridine/Ln3+without cucurbit[8]uril.And the solid state luminescence of supramolecular assembly could be smartly and easily turned among blue,green,red and white by adjusting the molar ratios between Tb3+and Eu3+.The enhanced white-light emission by supramolecular strategy may provide a new approach for smart and tunable solid luminescent materials.

文摘Conjugated homopolymers based on six-member rings,e.g.,polyfluorene,always exhibit blue emission and conjugated homopolymers based on five-member rings,e.g.,polythiophene,can give red emission with low efficiency.In this work,we report a series of new conjugated homopolymers based on six-member rings with high-efficiency deep-red emission.The repeating units of the red light emitting homopolymers are double B←N bridged bipyridine(BNBP)with the boron atoms functionalized with diphenyl,borafluorene,and 2,7-di-tert-butyl-borafluorene groups,respectively.The relationship between the chemical structures and the opto-electronic properties of the monomers and the homopolymers has been systematically studied.The three polymers emit pure red light(λ_(max)=656 nm)or deep red light(λ_(max)=693 nm)with fluorescence quantum efficiency in solution higher than 60%.The polymers can be used as the emitters in solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes with red emission and decent device performance.This work indicates a new strategy to design highly efficient light emitting conjugated polymers.

文摘Rhodium-catalyzed C4aryl-H activation and ring-retentive annulation of 2H-imidazoles with internal alkynes to build imidazo[5,1-a]isoquinolinium salts with high yields and broad scope has been disclosed.These novel salts serve as new full-color emissive fluorophores(433-633 nm),just by simply modifying the substituents on C3 and C4 positions of isoquinoline ring.Furthermore,these salts can undergo ring-opening C5_(aryl)-H activation/annulation with a different alkyne to form non-symmetric and AIE-active1,1-biisoquinolines,where NH_(4)OAc plays an indispensable role that accounts for Hofmann elimination and imine formation,leading to an unprecedented imine dance:cyclic imine→N-alkenyl imine→NH imine.The15N labelling experiments indicate that the 2ndannulation includes two pathways:N-exchange(major)and N-retention(minor).
