Abstract:
Chiral organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides (OIHMHs) represent an emerging class of chiroptical materials with promising applications in chiral optoelectronic and spintronic devices. However, the thermal quenching (TQ) effect of chiral OIHMHs severely restricts their practical deployment under high-temperature conditions. Herein, we synthesized a pair of chiral hybrid manganese chlorides, R/S-DACAMnCl3, featuring coordinated chiral cations. The enantiomers crystallized in the noncentrosymmetric space group P212121, consisting of infinite chains of edge-sharing MnOCl5 octahedra. Benefiting from robust coordination and hydrogen-bonding interactions, R/S-DACAMnCl3 single crystals (SCs) exhibited intense circularly polarized luminescence at 628 nm, with luminescence dissymmetry factors of 7 × 10-3 and -6 × 10-3, respectively. Specifically, R-DACAMnCl3 SCs displayed a striking anomalous antithermal quenching (ATQ) effect, in which the emission intensity was increased by 78% as the temperature was elevated from 100 to 380 K. We demonstrated that the ATQ effect in R-DACAMnCl3 SCs was mainly driven by phonon-assisted anti-Stokes vibronic coupling, with thermally induced lattice expansion playing a secondary role. Furthermore, R/S-DACAMnCl3 SCs exhibited strong second harmonic generation signals at 460 and 470 nm upon excitation with 920 and 940 nm laser light, respectively. These findings provide valuable insights into the design of high-performance chiral OIHMHs, advancing their practical applications in chiral optoelectronic devices.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

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...
