Circularly polarized luminescence induction on a Tb(III) complex with a tris(-butylaryloxide)-functionalized 1,4,7-triazacyclononane ligand coordinating chiral 1-phenylethylamine.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity was induced on a racemic Tb complex with a 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based tris-phenoxide ligand by the coordination of a chiral 1-phenylethylamine ligand to the Tb centre. -Butyl groups at the -position of the phenoxide moieties were found to be important for efficient CPL induction in the Tb complex.

Induced chirality at the surface: fixation of a dynamic / invertible helical Co complex on SiO.

Dynamic / invertible helicity was successfully induced at a SiO surface immobilized with a dynamic helical trinuclear cobalt complex, [LCo(NHMe)](OTf), using chiral (() or ())-1-phenylethylamine. Solid-state CD spectra and theoretical calculations suggested that the fixation of the / helical complex on the surface coordination interactions was the key factor of the induced chirality at the surface.

Ultrahigh Proton Conduction via Extended Hydrogen-Bonding Network in a Preyssler-Type Polyoxometalate-Based Framework Functionalized with a Lanthanide Ion.

The exploration of composition-structure-function relationship in proton-conducting solids remains a challenge in materials chemistry. Polyoxometalate-based compounds have been long considered as candidates for proton conductors; however, their low structural stability and a large decrease in conductivity under reduced relative humidity (RH) have limited their applications. To overcome such limitations, the hybridization of polyoxometalates with proton-conducting polymers has emerged as a promising method.
