RESUMEN
In this work, bisarsine oxides were evaluated as novel bridging ligands, aiming to develop practical and efficient luminescent lanthanide coordination polymers. We have synthesized one-dimensional (1D) Eu3+ coordination polymers that incorporate bisarsine oxide bridging ligands and hexafluoroacetylacetonate anions. These polymers exhibited a denser packing of chains compared to analogous polymers bridged with bisphosphine oxides. The coordination polymers demonstrated exceptional thermal stability and substantial emission quantum yields. Additionally, the bisarsine oxides induced a pronounced polarization effect, facilitating a sensitive electric dipole transition that yields considerably narrow band red emission. Remarkably, the Eu3+ coordination polymers with bisarsine oxides maintained intense emission even at 550â K. A distinctive feature of these polymers is their heating-induced emission enhancement observed when the temperature was increased from 300â K to 400â K.
RESUMEN
We synthesized two types of the regioisomers fused by a phenylnaphthalene ring with variable connection points to the o-carborane scaffold. In this paper, we describe their photoluminescence (PL) properties and detailed photochemical mechanisms. According to the series of optical measurements, interestingly, they showed different PL characters in terms of wavelength and the dual-emission character despite that they have the common aromatic unit. Variable-temperature PL measurements and quantum chemical calculations suggested that the substitution position of aryl groups to o-carborane plays an important role in determining the energy barrier to the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) state at the S1 state. Finally, it is revealed that the relative position of the C-C bond of o-carborane and the aryl center should be responsible for the photophysical events of aryl-o-carboranes.
