RESUMEN
Tunable photoluminescence (PL) is one of the hot topics in current materials science, and research performed on the molecular phases is at the forefront of this field. We present the new (Et4N)2[PtII(bph)(CN)2]â rez3â 1/3H2O (Pt2rez3) (bph=biphenyl-2,2'-diyl; rez3=3,3",5,5"-tetrahydroxy-1,1':4',1"-terphenyl, phenylene-1,4-diresorcinol coformer, a linear quaternary hydrogen bond donor) co-crystal salt based on the recently appointed promising [PtII(bph)(CN)2]2- luminophore. Within the extended hydrogen-bonded subnetwork [PtII(bph)(CN)2]2- complexes and rez3 coformer molecules form two types of contacts: the rez3O-Hâ â â Ncomplex ones in the equatorial plane of the complex and non-typical rez3O-Hâ â â Pt ones along its axial direction. The combined structural, PL, and DFT approach identified the rez3O-Hâ â â Pt synthons to be crucial in promoting the noticeable uniform redshift of bph ligand centered (LC) emission compared to the LC emission of the (Et4N)2[PtII(bph)(CN)2]â H2O (Pt2) precursor, owing to the direct interference of the phenol group with the PtII-bph orbital system via altering the CT processes within. The high-resolution emission spectra for Pt2 and Pt2rez3 were successfully reproduced at 77â K by using the Franck-Cordon expressions. The possibility to tune PL properties along the plausible continuum of rez3O-Hâ â â Pt synthons is indicated, considering various scenarios of molecular occupation of the space above and below the complex plane.
RESUMEN
Optically active functional noncentrosymmetric architectures might be achieved through the combination of molecules with inscribed optical responses and species of dedicated tectonic character. Herein, we present the new series of noncentrosymmetric cocrystal salt solvates (PPh4)3[M(CN)6](L)n·msolv (M = Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(III); L = polyresorcinol coformers, multiple hydrogen bond donors: 3,3',5,5'-tetrahydroxy-1,19-biphenyl, DiR, n = 2, or 5'-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,3â³,5,5â³-tetrahydroxy-1,19:3',1â³-terphenyl, TriRB, n = 1) denoted as MDiR and MTriRB, respectively. The hydrogen-bonded subnetworks {[M(CN)6]3-;Ln}∞ of dmp, neb, or dia topology are formed through structural matching between building blocks within supramolecular cis-bis(chelate)-like {[M(CN)6]3-;(H2L)2(HL)2} or tris(chelate)-like {[M(CN)6]3-;(H2L)3} fragments. The quantum-chemical analysis demonstrates the mixed electrostatic and covalent character of these interactions, with their strength clearly enhanced due to the negative charge of the hydrogen bond acceptor metal complex. The corresponding interaction energy is also dependent on the geometry of the contact and size matching of its components, rotational degree of freedom and extent of the π-electron system of the coformer, and overall fit to the molecular surroundings. Symmetry of the crystal lattices is correlated with the local symmetry of coformers and {complex;(coformer)n} hydrogen-bonded motifs characterized by the absence of the inversion center and mirror plane. All compounds reveal second-harmonic generation activity and photoluminescence diversified by individual UV-vis spectral characteristics of the components, and interesting low-frequency Raman scattering spectra within the subterahertz spectroscopic domain. Vibrational (infrared/Raman), UV-vis electronic absorption (experimental and calculated), and 57Fe Mössbauer spectra together with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data are provided for the complete description of our systems.
RESUMEN
Studies on molecular co-crystal type materials are important in the design and preparation of easy-to-absorb drugs, non-centrosymmetric, and chiral crystals for optical performance, liquid crystals, or plastic phases. From a fundamental point of view, such studies also provide useful information on various supramolecular synthons and molecular ordering, including metric parameters, molecular matching, energetical hierarchy, and combinatorial potential, appealing to the rational design of functional materials through structure-properties-application schemes. Co-crystal salts involving anionic d-metallate coordination complexes are moderately explored (compared to the generality of co-crystals), and in this context, we present a new series of isomorphous co-crystalline salts (PPh4)3[M(CN)6](H3PG)2·2MeCN (M = Cr, 1; Fe, 2; Co 3; H3PG = phloroglucinol, 1,3,5-trihydroxobenzene). In this study, 1-3 were characterized experimentally using SC XRD, Hirshfeld analysis, ESI-MS spectrometry, vibrational IR and Raman, 57Fe Mössbauer, electronic absorption UV-Vis-NIR, and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and theoretically with density functional theory calculations. The two-dimensional square grid-like hydrogen-bond {[M(CN)6]3-;(H3PG)2}∞ network features original {[M(CN)6]3-;(H3PG)4} supramolecular cis-bis(chelate) motifs involving: (i) two double cyclic hydrogen bond synthons M(-CNâ â â HO-)2Ar, {[M(CN)6]3-;H2PGH}, between cis-oriented cyanido ligands of [M(CN)6]3- and resorcinol-like face of H3PG, and (ii) two single hydrogen bonds M-CNâ â â HO-Ar, {[M(CN)6]3-;HPGH2}, involving the remaining two cyanide ligands. The occurrence of the above tectonic motif is discussed with regard to the relevant data existing in the CCDC database, including the multisite H-bond binding of [M(CN)6]3- by organic species, mononuclear coordination complexes, and polynuclear complexes. The physicochemical and computational characterization discloses notable spectral modifications under the regime of an extended hydrogen bond network.

Anion-π based compounds, materials, and processes have gained significant interest due to the diversity of their aesthetic non-covalent synthons, and thanks to their significance in biological systems, catalytic processes, anion binding and sensing, or the supramolecular organization of hierarchical architectures. While systems based on typical inorganic anions or organic residues have been widely reviewed in recent years, those involving anionic d metal comlexes as the main components have been treated with a rather secondary interest. However, actively exploring the new systems of the latter type we have recognized systematic advances in the field. As a result, in the current review we describe the landscape that has recently emerged. Focusing on the established groups of π-acidic species, i.e. polycarbonitirles, polyazines, polyazine N-oxides, diimide derivatives, fluoroarenes, and nitroarenes, we explore and discuss anion-π crystal engineering together with the structure-property schemes important from the standpoint of charge transfer (CT) and electron transfer (ET), magnetism, luminescence, reactivity and catalysis, and the construction of core-shell crystalline composites.
RESUMEN
New bioorthogonal cycloaddition of 5-arylidene derivatives of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid as 1-oxa-1,3-butadienes and vinyl thioether as a dienophile has been applied to imaging inside living cells. The reaction is high yielding, selective, and fast in aqueous media. The proposed 1-oxa-1,3-butadiene derivative conjugated to a FITC fluorochrome selectively and rapidly labels the cancer cells pretreated with the dienophile-taxol. The second order rate constants k2 for various proposed bioorthogonal cycloadditions were estimated to be in the range from 0.9 × 10-2 M-1 s-1 to 1.4 M-1 s-1, which is much better than in the case of the first generation TQ-ligation (o-quinolinone quinone methide and vinyl thioether ligation, k2 = 1.5 × 10-3 M-1 s-1) and comparable or better to that for the second generation TQ-ligation (k2 = 2.8 × 10-2 M-1 s-1). The reaction rate constants k2 of proposed ligation reactions are in the range of the rate constants k2 for tetrazines and norbornenes or tetrazines and cyclopropenes. These findings indicate that this chemistry is suitable for in vitro imaging experiments.
