Abstract:
Dual-state emission (DSE) luminogens, a type of luminescent material which can effectively emit light in both dilute solution and solid states, have attracted tremendous attention, due to their widespread applications in chemical sensing, biological imaging, organic electronic devices, and so on. They overcome the shortcomings of aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-type compounds that do not emit light in dilute solutions and aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ)-type compounds that do not emit light in a concentrated or aggregated state. This work reports a novel ionic DSE material based on rigid rod-shaped organic conjugated structure using 4,4'-bis(2-sulfonatostyryl) biphenyl disodium salt (BSBDS); the ion repulsion effect can reduce the strong π-π interaction in aggregation and achieve high-efficiency luminescence in solution and solid states. In addition to excellent DSE characteristics, BSBDS also exhibits a mechanochromic nature and sensitive detection performance for aluminum ion (Al3+).

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
02:38Electrophilic Addition to Alkynes: Halogenation
Halogenation is another class of electrophilic addition reactions where a halogen molecule gets added across a π bond. In alkynes, the presence of two π bonds allows for the addition of two equivalents of halogens (bromine or chlorine). The addition of the first halogen molecule forms a trans-dihaloalkene as the major product and the cis isomer as the minor product. Subsequent addition of the second equivalent yields the tetrahalide.
