Abstract:
Scintillators with the capacity to convert X-rays into visible photons have attracted considerable attention from industrial inspection and medical diagnostics. Organic-inorganic hybrid (OIH) materials with programmable structures and tunable luminescence have emerged as ideal platforms for fabricating novel scintillators. However, it remains challenging to simultaneously achieve an exceptional light yield (LY) and high stability. Herein, by incorporating a suitable amount of Mn2+ ions into a 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ)-phase OIH [(H2dapo)(PbCl4)]n (H2dapo2+ = 1,3-diaminium-2-hydroxypropane) (1), a novel Pb-Mn heterometallic OIH-based scintillator [(H2dapo)(PbCl4)]n:1.4%Mn (2) is synthesized. The synergistic effect between multihydrogen bond regulation and Mn2+ ions doping endows 2 with excellent environmental/thermal stability and bright orange-red emission at 605 nm with a high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 46.85%, originating from the 4T1 → 6A1 transition of Mn2+ centers. Remarkably, 2 exhibits high radiation resistance and outstanding radioluminescence performance with a high light yield of 44347 photons/MeV and a linear response to X-ray dose rate with low detection limits (2.69 μGy·s-1). Moreover, a large-area flexible scintillation film is fabricated by combining 2 with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), achieving a high spatial resolution of 11 lp·mm-1. These findings provide an efficient strategy for designing novel OIH-based scintillators with high stability and exceptional RL performance.

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 eye.

02:46Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
