Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luminescent lanthanide complexes have been widely studied for various biotechnology and materials science uses, however, the application of these luminescent systems in metallopolymers has been relatively limited, especially when compared to those incorporating transition metal complexes. The unique and interesting photophysical properties of lanthanide complexes (i.e., high color purity and long radiative lifetimes) make these systems ideal for the development of luminescent metallopolymers, which are a unique class of hybrid materials that synthetically incorporate metal centers into organic polymers, thereby taking advantage of the beneficial properties of both traditional inorganic (i.e., catalysis, optics, electronics) and organic (i.e., easy to process, flexible, low weight) materials. A new class of lanthanide complexes exhibiting metal-based visible and near-IR photoluminescence has been designed, synthesized and fully characterized by melting point, ESI-MS, elemental analysis and single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (when possible). The photophysical properties of these luminescent monomer complexes were studied in solution and the solid state, with the emission spectra displaying the characteristic line-like emission peaks of the trivalent lanthanide ions. This indicates efficient energy transfer from ligand centered excited states to the emissive excited states of the lanthanides. The monomer complexes have been electropolymerized, resulting in conducting metallopolymers that display metal-based photoluminescence. Because these hybrid materials retain the desirable properties of both inorganic semiconductors and organic polymers, such as near metallic electrical conductivity, ease of processing, flexibility and light weight, they are promising for applications in solid-state lighting.

Download or read book Highly Luminescent Lanthanide Complexes with Specific Coordination Structures written by Kohei Miyata and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with strongly luminescent lanthanide complexes having novel coordination structures. Luminescent lanthanide complexes are promising candidates as active materials for EL devices, lasers, and bio-sensing applications. The organic ligands in lanthanide complexes control geometrical and vibrational frequency structures that are closely related to the luminescent properties. In most of the previous work, however, lanthanide complexes have high-vibrational frequency C–H units close to the metal center for radiationless transition. In this thesis, the luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes with low-vibrational frequency C–F and P=O units are elucidated in terms of geometrical, vibrational, and chemical structures. The author also describes lanthanide coordination polymers with both high thermal stability (decomposition point > 300°C) and strong-luminescent properties (emission quantum yield > 80%). The author believes that novel studies on the characteristic structures and photophysical properties of lanthanide complexes may open up a frontier field in photophysical, coordination and material chemistry.

Download or read book Assembled Lanthanide Complexes with Advanced Photophysical Properties written by Yuichi Hirai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides essential information on the systematic design of assembled lanthanide complexes for functional luminescent materials. It discusses the relationships between assembled structures and photo, thermal, and mechanical properties on the basis of crystallography, spectroscopy, and thermodynamics. The described guidelines for assembled structures will be extremely valuable, both for industrial applications and for readers’ fundamental understanding of solid-state photophysics and materials chemistry. Luminescent lanthanide complexes are promising candidates for lighting devices, lasers, and bio-probes owing to their line-like and long-lived emission arising from characteristic 4f–4f transitions. Low-vibrational and asymmetrical coordination structures around lanthanide ions have been introduced to achieve strong luminescence, using specific organic ligands. Recently, assembled lanthanide complexes including coordination polymers and metal organic frameworks have increasingly attracted attention as a new class of luminescent materials offering thermal stability and color tunability. However, improving the luminescence efficiencies of these compounds remains a challenge, and specific molecular designs to control assembled structures and yield additional physical properties have not been established. The author provides a group of bent-angled bridging ligands to boost photoluminescence efficiency, and successfully introduces for the first time glass formability and strong triboluminescence properties.

Download or read book Lanthanide Metal Organic Frameworks written by Peng Cheng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on topics of research concerned with chemical structure and bonding. The scope of the series spans the entire Periodic Table and addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the elements. It also focuses attention on new and developing areas of modern structural and theoretical chemistry such as nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters and supramolecular structures. Physical and spectroscopic techniques used to determine, examine and model structures fall within the purview of Structure and Bonding to the extent that the focus is on the scientific results obtained and not on specialist information concerning the techniques themselves. Issues associated with the development of bonding models and generalizations that illuminate the reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also relevant. The individual volumes in the series are thematic. The goal of each volume is to give the reader, whether at a university or in industry, a comprehensive overview of an area where new insights are emerging that are of interest to a larger scientific audience. Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years should be presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. A description of the physical basis of the experimental techniques that have been used to provide the primary data may also be appropriate, if it has not been covered in detail elsewhere. The coverage need not be exhaustive in data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the new principles being developed that will allow the reader, who is not a specialist in the area covered, to understand the data presented. Discussion of possible future research directions in the area is welcomed. Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors. Readership: research scientists at universities or in industry, graduate students.
