Dual stimuli-responsive phosphorescence of a Pb(II) coordination polymer to acidic vapors and thermal treatment.

We present a new intensely phosphorescent Pb(II) coordination polymer (1) containing a heteroatomic ligand. It has a quantum yield of 21.62% and a lifetime of 25.

Simultaneous Occurrence of Vapochromism and Vapoluminescence in Formaldehyde-Responsive Amino-Functionalized Copper(I) Polymorphic Coordination Polymers.

The use of vapor-responsive chromic materials in sensing applications for the detection of harmful volatile organic chemicals is rapidly expanding. Herein, four new amino-functionalized Cu(I) coordination polymers of [CuI(pyt-NH)] () and () and [CuSCN(pyt-NH)] () and () (where pyt-NH = 2-amino-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole) were successfully synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that and are iodo-based polymorphs, while and are thiocyanato-based polymorphs.

Coexistence of Naked-Eye Mechanochromism, Vapochromism, and Thermochromism in a Soft Crystalline Layered Nickel(II) Coordination Polymer.

Chromic materials have the potential to be used in a variety of applications, including memory devices and sensors. Despite fact that stimuli-responsive chromic materials have been widely reported to date, fabricating chromic materials that can be responsive to multiple external stimuli remains a challenge. Herein, a new multistimuli responsive chromic coordination polymer of {[Ni(pzt)(HO)](HO)(DMF)} (); Hpzt = 5-(3-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol, was successfully synthesized.

A Solid-State Luminescent Cd(II) Supramolecular Coordination Framework Based on Mixed Luminophores as a Sensor for Discriminatively Selective Detection of Amine Vapors.

A novel Cd(II) supramolecular coordination framework containing mixed functionalized luminophore ligands, namely, [Cd(AS)(phen)]EtOH or (where AS = 4-aminosalicylate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, EtOH = ethanol), was successfully synthesized as a solid-state luminescent sensor for the detection of amine vapors. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that possesses a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework enclosing ethanol molecule in the lattice. The supramolecular structure is well-stabilized by various noncovalent intermolecular interactions through functional groups of ligands.
