Abstract:
Luminescent Mn(ii) complexes have attracted extensive attention owing to their properties of color tunability, high PLQYs, large Stokes shifts and thermal stability. Luminescent Mn(ii) complexes can exhibit orange, green, and red emissions depending on the environment of Mn2+. These various properties made Mn(ii) complexes attractive candidates for different fields of applications such as LEDs and radiation detection. In this perspective, we connect the emissions of Mn(ii) complexes with the corresponding crystal structure and the environment of Mn2+. Then, we summarize the recent progress of luminescent Mn(ii) complexes in LEDs and radiation detection. Finally, we present the challenges and outlook for future research on luminescent Mn(ii) complexes.

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...

02:34Structural 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...
02:45Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
