Article Synopsis
- - The complex [Ag(IPr)(dpa)][PF] (1) was synthesized and characterized to explore its photophysical properties in comparison to [Cu(IPr)(dpa)][PF] (2), both intended for use in blue-emitting light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs).
- - Key findings show that complex 1 emits fluorescence while complex 2 exhibits thermally activated delayed fluorescence, highlighting a shift in the nature of their emitting states due to the different metal ions used.
- - Additionally, complex 1 demonstrates varying emission based on its crystallinity in thin films and displays stable electrical performance in LECs lasting over 100 hours, a significant improvement over the few minutes of stability observed with complex 2.*
Article Synopsis
- Heteroleptic silver(I) complexes are gaining attention for thin-film lighting technologies due to their lack of distortion during excitation compared to copper(I) complexes.
- This study focuses on a specific Ag(I) complex with N-heterocyclic carbene and 2,2'-bipyridine that shows strong green emission due to intermolecular interactions and aggregation-induced emission.
- Although the complex demonstrates poor emission in thin-film form, it has excellent electrochemical stability under operating conditions, suggesting promising applications in lighting devices.
The aims of this study were (a) to investigate the presence of clinically significant personality traits and personality disorders (PD) in patients living in residential facilities, with or without a history of violence (69 and 46, respectively); and (b) to investigate any associations between clinically significant personality traits and PDs, aggression, impulsivity, hostility, and violent behavior during a 1-year follow-up. The most frequent primary diagnoses were schizophrenia (58.3%) and PD (20.

However, the lack of specific studies in this area and recent radical changes in Italy, including the closure of six Forensic Mental Hospitals, has prompted a more detailed investigation of patients with aggressive behaviour.
Aims: To compare socio-demographic, clinical and treatment-related characteristics of long-term inpatients with a lifetime history of serious violence with controls; to identify predictors of verbal and physical aggressive behaviour during 1-year follow-up.
People with severe mental disorders and a history of violence are often seen as a difficult-to-manage segment of the population. In addition, this group is usually characterized by a high risk of crime recidivism, and poor compliance with community and aftercare programs. To investigate a sample of male patients living in Residential Facilities (RFs) with a history of violent behavior against people and to compare their characteristics with those of never-violent residents; to analyze the associations between aggressive behaviors in the last two years and a history of previous violence; and, to assess the predictors of aggressive behaviors.
