Optimizing white light emission in Dy(iii) complexes: impact of energy transfer from mono and bidentate ligands on luminescence.

Complexes of dysprosium(iii) ions with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione featuring various mono and bi-dentate neutral ligands have been prepared and thoroughly investigated. The synthesized complexes exhibit an octa-coordinated environment, achieved by stoichiometrically combining organic ligands and Dy(iii) ions. This octa-coordination environment of Dy(iii) ion was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis.

Exploring the role of neutral ligands in modulating the photoluminescence of samarium complexes with 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione.

Four eight-coordinated luminescent samarium complexes of type [Sm(hfpd)L] and [Sm(hfpd)L'] [where hfpd = 1,1,1,5,5,5-Hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedione L = tri-octyl-phosphine oxide (TOPO) and L' = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), neocuproine (neoc) and bathocuproine (bathoc) were synthesized via a stoichiometrically controlled approach. This allows for precise control over the stoichiometry of the complexes, leading to reproducible properties. This investigation focuses on understanding the impact of secondary ligands on the luminescent properties of these complexes.

Computational and optoelectronic investigations of red-emissive europium (III) β-diketonate with n-donor ligands for display applications.

Europium complexes exhibiting red luminescence were prepared by employing β-diketone as main ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline as an additional ligand. Various methods, including H NMR, IR spectroscopy and analysis of optical band gap were employed to examine these complexes. The luminescent photophysical properties were investigated using PL spectroscopy and theoretical calculations were conducted to explore radiative transitions probabilities and Judd-Ofelt (J-O) parameters for transitions of type D → F.

Optical, electrochemical and photophysical analyses of heteroleptic luminescent Ln(iii) complexes for lighting applications.

A series of lanthanide complexes have been synthesized with fluorinated 1,3-diketones and heteroaromatic ancillary moieties. Spectroscopic studies reveal the attachment of the respective lanthanide ion to the oxygen site of β-diketone and nitrogen site of auxiliary moieties. The conducting behavior of the complexes is proposed by their optical energy gaps which lie in the range of semiconductors.

Synthesis of green emissive terbium(III) complexes for displays: Optical, electrochemical and photoluminescent analysis.

A series of heteroleptic terbium(III) complexes with fluorinated 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) and other heteroaromatic units have been synthesized. The developed heteroleptic complexes were inspected via elemental study, cyclic voltammetry, thermal analysis and spectroscopic investigations. Optical band-gap data proposed the conducting property of prepared complexes.

Mononuclear luminous β-diketonate Ln(III) complexes with heteroaromatic auxiliary ligands: synthesis and luminescence characteristics.

A series of lanthanide (samarium and terbium) β-diketonates with heteroaromatic auxiliary ligands was synthesized. The prepared complexes were characterized through electrochemical, thermal, and spectroscopic analyses. Infrared analysis revealed the binding of the respective metal ion to oxygen and nitrogen atoms of diketone and ancillary ligands.

Red emissive ternary europium complexes: synthesis, optical, and luminescence characteristics.

Solid ternary europium complexes consisting of fluorinated β-diketone (thenoyltrifluoroacetone, TTFA) and heteroaromatic bidentate auxiliary ligands were synthesized. The luminescence features of the complexes were estimated using various spectral measurements and clearly proved that the Eu ion is efficiently sensitized by ligands by an antenna effect. Photoluminescence excitation spectra have shown that Eu(III) complexes are excited effectively in the ultraviolet (UV) region and the corresponding emission spectra consist of characteristic peaks attributed to the D → F transitions of the europium ion with the strongest emission peak at 611 nm ( D → F ).

PEGylation and Cell-Penetrating Peptides: Glimpse into the Past and Prospects in the Future.

Several drug molecules have shown low bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profile due to metabolism by enzymes, excretion by the renal system, or due to other physiochemical properties of drug molecules. These problems have resulted in the loss of efficacy and the gain of side effects associated with drug molecules. PEGylation is one of the strategies to overcome these pharmacokinetic issues and has been successful in the clinic.
