RESUMO

A blue fluorescent tetraphenylethylene-based dication and a red-NIR phosphorescent rhenium octahedral cluster tetra-anion are associated electrostatically to generate a supramolecular ionic framework which crystallizes in the P1̄ centric space group. The emission properties of the hybrids are studied in the crystalline state and in solution revealing a resonant energy transfer and a high sensitivity toward oxygen.

RESUMO

Emissive ionic supramolecular frameworks are designed by associating tetraphenylethylene-based tetra-cationic units and di-anionic molybdenum or tetra-anionic rhenium octahedral clusters. Obtained structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The emission properties of the hybrids were investigated as dry powders or in various solvents by one photon and two photon absorption leading to a O2 concentration dependent luminescence color for the Mo based hybrid.

RESUMO

Evidence for photoinduced intermolecular electron transfer from the excited state of the [Mo6I8Cl6]2- electron-rich cluster to polyoxometalates (POMs) is reported. We demonstrate that the global charge density of POMs affects the efficiency of electron transfer. This work paves the way for the rational design of photocatalytic systems using cluster-based complexes as robust noble-metal-free photosensitizers.

RESUMO

Molecular or supramolecular materials that can self-organize into columns such as discotic liquid crystals are of interest for several applications in the field of optoelectronics. We show in this work that red near-infrared (NIR)-emissive metal cluster compounds of general formula Na2Mo6X8iCl6 (Xi = Cl or Br) can be readily complexed with discotic liquid crystals containing a crown ether. Three cavity sizes have been tested with crown ethers bearing 4, 5, or 6 oxygen atoms. In all cases, 1:1 complexes were formed, thanks to the well-known supramolecular interactions existing between the Na+ cations of the metal cluster salt and the crown ether derivatives. All obtained hybrids are homogeneous, emit in the red NIR region, and show liquid crystalline properties on a wider temperature range than their precursors. Charge transport properties have been investigated by using a space charge limited current device. Obtained results demonstrate that metal cluster compounds can enhance the charge carrier mobility by 5 orders of magnitude compared to the native discotic organic ligands. Considering that the presented organic crown ether derivatives are not the best candidates to design optoelectronic devices because of their inherently low conductivity, but that similar compounds were developed to design proton conductive porous framework, our results open promising perspectives for the use of metal cluster compounds in devices dedicated to such a field.

RESUMO

The lacunary monocharged anion [{Mo6Cli8}Cla5□a]- presents concomitantly a strongly electrophilic site and a nucleophilic one. This Janus character in terms of reactivity is confirmed by its gas phase reaction with [Br6Cs4K]- to form [{Mo6Cli8}Cla5Bra]2- and by its unusual self-reactivity leading to [{Mo6Cli8}Cla6]2- dianions.

RESUMO

Red-NIR luminescent polymers are principally obtained from petroleum-based derivatives in which emitters, usually a critical raw material such as rare-earth or platinum group metal ions, are embedded. Considering the strong ecological impact of their synthesis and the major risk of fossil fuel energy shortage, there is an urgent need to find alternatives. We describe a luminescent nanocomposite based on red-NIR phosphorescent molybdenum nanoclusters, namely Cs2Mo6I8(OCOC2F5)6, embedded in an eco-friendly cellulose biopolymer matrix that is obtained by a simple solvent casting technique. While homogeneity is kept up to 20 wt% of cluster complex doping, annealing hybrids leads to a large increase of their emission efficiency, as demonstrated by quantum yield measurements.

RESUMO

A novel enantiopure π-allylruthenium(IV) precatalyst allowed the enantioselective and stereospecific allylations of indoles and gave access to indolin-3-ones, containing vicinal stereogenic centers. Facile separation of diastereoisomers exhibiting opposite circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activities in diverse solvents, including water, demonstrated the potential of these sustainable transformations and of the newly prepared molecules.

RESUMO

We report the first intramolecular excimer photoswitching induced by molecular motion within a dithienylethene (DTE) molecule without destructive readout. The photochromic compound DTE bears two pyrene chromophores, judiciously positioned to face each other in the DTE's open form. The close proximity of the pyrenes in the open form is confirmed by NMR experiments and geometry optimization. Intense pyrene excimer luminescence is recorded, upon both one- and two-photon excitation (OPE and TPE). The photocyclization reaction of the DTE core induces a molecular motion of one pyrene moiety which thus prevents the possibility of formation of an excimer. Our DTE-based pyrene is stable upon TPE irradiation and shows a high photocyclization quantum yield. Such property specifications allow us to report the original nondestructive readout fluorescence by alternating exposure to OPE and TPE.

RESUMO

Aiming at merocyanine dyes with good linear optical and self-assembly properties, a series of rigid mono-, bi- and tricyclic merocyanines with O- and N-donor units as well as keto or malodinitrile acceptor units was prepared by a convergent approach. With particular focus on tailoring the donor unit, a selection of appropriate derivatives was investigated with respect to their dye properties in solution and in the bulk (UV/Vis, fluorescence, temperature-dependent fluorescence, lifetime). Determination of fluorescence quantum yields revealed the importance of the donor unit and the chromophore size. Larger chromophores and N-donors were beneficial for strong emission in solution, whereas small chromophores and O-donors favored emission in the solid state. To rationalize the different optical properties depending on their donor unit, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed. Liquid crystalline derivatives were additionally studied by optical polarization microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction experiments. For merocyanines with O-donor, fluorinated side chains were mandatory to get stable enantiotropic SmA phases regardless of chromophore size, side chain lengths or acceptor unit. Increased mesophase widths (up to 134 K) were observed upon increasing the chromophore lengths, chain lengths (up to C12) and F/C ratio in the side chain. On the other hand, merocyanines with N-donor and keto acceptor showed enantiotropic SmA phases in the presence of simple alkoxy side chains. The tricyclic merocyanine with N-donor shows an additional SmE phase at lower temperatures. The results revealed the importance of the donor unit to balance optical and mesomorphic properties in merocynanines.

RESUMO

γ-Cyclodextrin (γ-CD) interacts in aqueous solution with octahedral halide clusters Na2[{M6X8}Cl6] (M = Mo, W; X = Br, I) to form robust inclusion supramolecular complexes [{M6X8}Cl6@2γ-CD]2-. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed two conformational organizations within the adduct depending on the nature of the inner halide X within the {M6X8} core. Using 35Cl NMR and UV-vis as complementary techniques, the kinetics of the hydrolysis process were shown to increase with the following order: {W6I8} < {W6Br8} ≈ {Mo6I8} < {Mo6Br8}. The complexation with γ-CD drastically enhances the hydrolytic stability of luminescent [{M6X8}Cl6]2- cluster-based units, which was quantitatively proved by the same techniques. The resulting host-guest complexation provides a protective shell against contact with water and offers promising horizons for octahedral clusters in biology as revealed by the low dark cytotoxicity and cellular uptake.

RESUMO

We report the straightforward one-pot synthesis of novel 5- or 6-membered P-heterocycles featuring an internal ylidic bond: P-containing acenaphthylenes and phenanthrenes. The stability of the compounds tolerates post-functionalization through direct arylation to introduce electron-rich/poor substituents and the synthetic strategy is also compatible with the preparation of more elaborate polyaromatic scaffolds such as acenes and helicenes. Using a joint experimental (X-ray analysis, optical and redox properties) and theoretical approach, we perform a full structure-property relationships study on these new platforms. In particular, we show that molecular engineering allows not only tuning their absorption/emission across the entire visible range but also endowing them with chiroptical or non-linear optical properties, making them valuable dyes for a large panel of photonic or opto-electronic applications.

RESUMO

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has been recognized as a promising pathway for developing chiroptical materials with high luminescence dissymmetry factors (|glum|). Here, we propose a method for the construction of a thermally tunable CPL-active system based on a supramolecular self-assembly approach that utilizes helical nano- or microfilament templates in conjunction with an AIE dye. The CPL properties of the ensuing ensembles are predominantly determined by the intrinsic geometric differences among the various filament templates such as their overall dimensions (width, height, and helical pitch) and the area fraction of the exposed aromatic segments or sublayers. The proposed mechanism is based on the collective data acquired by absorption, steady state and time-resolved fluorescence, absolute quantum yield, and CPL measurements. The highest |glum| value for the most promising dual-modulated helical nanofilament templates in the present series was further enhanced, reaching up to |glum| = 0.25 by confinement in the appropriate diameter of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanochannels. It is envisioned that this methodology will afford new insights into the design of temperature-rate indicators or anti-counterfeiting tags using a combination of structural color by the nano- and microfilament templates and the AIE property of the guest dye.

RESUMO

Two series of flavylium triflates carrying alkoxy side chains in the A-ring (benzo unit of chromylium salt) and thioethers in the B ring (phenyl unit) (On -Fla-Sm ) as well as thioethers at both A and B ring (Sn -Fla-Sm ) were synthesized in order to understand the effect of thioether functionalization on their self-assembly and electronic properties. Concentration-dependent and diffusion ordered (DOSY) NMR experiments of O1 -iV-Fla-S3 indicate the formation of columnar H-aggregates in solution with antiparallel intracolumnar stacking of the AC unit (chromylium) of the flavylium triflate, in agreement with the solid state structure of O1 -V-Fla-S1 . Thioether substitution on the B ring changes the linear optical properties in solution, whereas it has no effect on the A ring. According to differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction bulk self-assembly of these ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) depends on the total number of side chains, yielding SmA and LamCol phases for ILCs with 2-3 chains and Colro , Colh phases for ILCs with 3-6 chains. Thus, we demonstrated that thioethers are a useful design tool for ILCs with tailored properties.

RESUMO

Inorganic red-NIR emissive materials are particularly relevant in many fields like optoelectronic, bioimaging or solar cells. Benefiting from their emission in devices implies their integration in easy-to-handle materials like liquid crystals, whose long-range ordering and self-healing abilities could be exploited and influence emission. Herein, we present red-NIR emissive hybrid materials obtained with phosphorescent octahedral molybdenum cluster anions electrostatically associated with amphiphilic guanidinium minidendrons. Polarized optical microscopy and X-ray analysis show that while the minidendron chloride salts self-organize into columnar phases, their association with the dianionic metal cluster leads to layered phases. Steady-state and time-resolved emission investigations demonstrate the influence of the minidendron alkyl chain length on the phosphorescence of the metal cluster core.

RESUMO

New nanocomposite materials with UV-NIR blocking properties and hues ranging from green to brown were prepared by integrating inorganic tantalum octahedral cluster building blocks prepared via solid-state chemistry in a PMMA matrix. After the synthesis by the solid-state chemical reaction of the K4[{Ta6Bri12}Bra6] ternary halide, built-up from [{Ta6Bri12}Bra6]4- anionic building blocks, and potassium cations, the potassium cations were replaced by functional organic cations (Kat+) bearing a methacrylate function. The resulting intermediate, (Kat)2[{Ta6Bri12}Bra6], was then incorporated homogeneously by copolymerization with MMA into transparent PMMA matrices to form a brown transparent hybrid composite Ta@PMMAbrown. The color of the composites was tuned by controlling the charge and consequently the oxidation state of the cluster building block. Ta@PMMAgreen was obtained through the two-electron reduction of the [{Ta6Bri12}Bra6]2- building blocks from Ta@PMMAbrown in solution. Indeed, the control of the oxidation state of the Ta6 cluster inorganic building blocks occurred inside the copolymer, which not only allowed the tuning of the optical properties of the composite in the visible region but also allowed the tuning of its UV and NIR blocking properties.

RESUMO

Here, we demonstrate a facile and scalable preparation via sol-gel chemistry of hybrid polyurea gels containing various amounts of a phosphorescent inorganic octahedral molybdenum cluster-based ternary salt, namely Cs2Mo6Br14. The influence of the Cs2Mo6Br14 content (1-10 wt%) on the polyurea matrix and its physical properties are studied in depth by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray fluorescence microanalysis (µ-XRF). Regardless of the amount of cluster loaded into the polyurea, the integrity of these species was preserved and their dispersion is homogeneous as shown by µ-XRF mapping. Spectroscopic-structural analyses reveal a significant increase of the chain mobility (glass transition temperature Tg) from -65 °C to -55 °C after the incorporation of Cs2Mo6Br14 (DSC analyses). The FTIR studies show that the homogeneity of the dispersion is ensured by supramolecular interactions between the ether-type oxygen atoms of the PEO chains and the cluster compound. Photoluminescence studies show that the metal cluster emission properties are well retained within the host matrix whatever the loaded content. Such a combination of materials demonstrates the feasibility to fabricate a rubber NIR-emitting device. Moreover, the loaded polyurea is also able to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon irradiation in the UV-A region, opening new perspectives as versatile membranes in the field of photodynamic therapy.

RESUMO

Bright NIR phosphorescence from octahedral molybdenum clusters has been known since the 1980s. However, their behavior toward NIR excitation has never been investigated. Here we report their abilities to emit NIR light and produce singlet oxygen upon two-photon absorption. This behavior is observed in solution, in the solid state, and when clusters are embedded homogeneously in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) matrix. Such discoveries open new perspectives in several fields like optoelectronics, photodynamic therapy, or bioimaging.

RESUMO

The association of metallic clusters (CLUS) and polyoxometalates (POM) into hierarchical architectures is achieved using γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) as a supramolecular connector. The new self-assembled systems, so-called CLUSPOM, are formed from Dawson-type polyoxometalate [P2W18O62]6- and electron-rich rhenium clusters. It is worth noting that a cluster-based cation [{Re6Se8}(H2O)6]2+ on one hand and a cluster-based anion on the other hand [{Re6Se8}(CN)6]4- can be associated with the anionic POM. In the absence of the supramolecular connector, a "CLUSPOM salt" was obtained from aqueous solution of the cationic cluster and the polyoxometalate. In this solid, the arrangement between the polymetallic building blocks is mainly governed by long-range Coulombic interactions. In the presence of γ-CD, the Dawson anion and the cationic cluster are assembled differently, forming a hierarchical supramolecular solid, K2[{Re6Se8}(H2O)6]2{[P2W18O62]@2γ-CD}·42H2O, where the organic macrocycle acts as a ditopic linker between the inorganic building blocks. In such an edifice, the short-range molecular recognition dominates the long-range Coulombic interactions leading to a specific three-dimensional organization. Interestingly, the assembling of anionic POM [P2W18O62]6- with the anionic rhenium cluster [{Re6Se8}(CN)6]4- is also achieved with γ-CD despite the repulsive forces between the nanosized anions. The resulting solid, K10{[{Re6Se8}(CN)6]@2γ-CD}[P2W18O62]·33H2O, is built from 1:2 inclusion complexes {[{Re6Se8}(CN)6]@2γ-CD}4- linked by a POM unit interacting with the exterior wall of the organic macrocycle. Multinuclear NMR and small-angle X-ray scattering investigations support supramolecular preorganization in aqueous solution prior to crystallization.

RESUMO

Passing from fossil energy sources to renewable ones, meanwhile answering the increasing world energy demand, will require innovative and low-cost technologies. Smart photovoltaic windows could fulfill our needs in this matter. Their transparency can be controlled to manage solar energy and regulate interior temperature and illumination. Here, we present the one-pot synthesis of polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs), in which highly red-NIR phosphorescent transition metal clusters are selectively embedded, either in the polymer, in the liquid crystal, or in both phases. The PDLC matrix is used as a tunable waveguide to transfer the emitted light from nanoclusters to the edge of the device, where solar cells could be placed to convert it into electricity. Edge emission is obtained in both "off" and "on" states, with a maximum intensity for the scattering "off" one. These doped PDLCs showing photo-activity features and high stability under voltage represent key stepping stones for integration in buildings, displays, and many other technologies.
