Realizing Color Transitions for Three Copper (I) Cluster Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials by Adjusting Reaction Conditions.

Copper iodide organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been favored by many researchers in the field of solid-state lighting (SSL) due to their structural diversity and optical adjustability. In this paper, three isomeric copper iodide cluster hybrid materials, CuI(L)(1), CuICl(L)(2) and CuI(L)) (3) (L=1-(4-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.

Realizing near white and warm light emission of cuprous iodide complexes by alkyl-isomerization of ligands.

Four novel all-in-one structured cuprous iodide hybrid materials are presented. Isomerization of the alkyl chain on the ligand improved material thermal stability and regulated their luminescence to warm and near-white light emission, with the internal quantum yield increasing from 5% to 83%. This provides a reasonable route for designing white light emitting cuprous iodide materials for solid-state lighting in future.

Selective fluorescent sensing of LMOFs constructed from tri(4-pyridylphenyl)amine ligand.

Three new luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs), [Zn(tppa)(ndc)] (1), [Cd(tppa)(oba)] (2), [Zn(tppa)(bpdc)] (3) (tppa = tri(4-pyridylphenyl)amine, ndc = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, oba = 4,4'-oxydibenzoic acid, bpdc = 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid) have been synthesized by solvothermal method. Complexes 1 and 2 are 2-D two-fold interpenetrating structures, aligning into a 3-D structure through C-H⋯π stacking interactions, while 3 is a 5-fold interpenetrating three-dimensional structure. The internal quantum yields (IQYs) of complexes 1-3 are 32.

Recent Progress in Luminescent Cu(I) Halide Complexes: A Mini-Review.

Copper(I) halide complexes are well sought-after materials due to their rich structural diversities and photophysical properties. Profoundly, there is a direct relationship between each structural variation and luminescence of these complexes, for a purported use. In this review, recent publications within the last 2 years about copper(I) halide complexes, centering on their structural dimensionalities with derivatives of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur ligands, have been considered alongside their effects on luminescence.

[Postoperative acute renal failure in adult patients with cardiac surgery: evaluation of the RIFLE classification].

Objective: To evaluate the ability of the RIFLE classification to predict hospital mortality in adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery.

Methods: From October 1st 2006 to December 31st 2006, five hundred and nine adult patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve operation were enrolled in this study. Renal function was assessed daily according to the RIFLE classification, meanwhile, APACHE II score and SOFA score were also evaluated, as well as the maximum scores were recorded.
