Abstract:
Developing materials with high optoelectronic performance under extreme conditions, including high temperature, high pressure, and exposure to chemical corrosion, is crucial for applications in harsh environments. In this study, [(C18H15OP)3·H3O]2Cu5Br7 (CHCB), a non-toxic hybrid halide scintillator with outstanding stability and performance under challenging conditions, was developed. CHCB achieved high photoluminescence quantum yields of 97.75 % and retained excellent optical properties even after prolonged water immersion, wide pH exposure, and high-pressure treatment, highlighting its potential for underwater imaging and radiation detection. Flexible scintillator films made from CHCB exhibited high-resolution imaging capabilities (9.21 lp·mm-1) and a light yield of 19,088.9 ph·MeV-1, even after prolonged underwater exposure. Additionally, the dynamic information encryption potential of the CHCB crystals, demonstrated through an ultraviolet-triggered binary encoding system, underscored their multifunctionality. These findings position CHCB as a promising candidate for sustainable, high-performance scintillators in extreme environments and advanced optoelectronic applications.

A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
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.
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...
