Narrow band red-emitting phosphors based on organo-Eu(III) complexes prove their energetic features with surprising performance in smart red/white LEDs, sensing, and biological fields. In this report, a series of unique Eu(III) complexes have been synthesized with coumarin integrated with a class of phenanthroline(Phen)/thiabendazole(TBZ) based ancillary ligands and dibenzoyl methane (DBM)/2-theonyl trifluoroacetone (TTA) as an anionic ligand. The computational study reveals that the TBZ/Phen-based neutral ligands are superior energy harvesters to those other reported analogue neutral ligands.

The decellularized pericardium has been widely used in cardiac tissue engineering, whereas its clinical applications are limited due to weak mechanical performance, high collagen exposure, and being prone to microbial contamination. In this study, a biohybrid scaffold of the decellularized caprine pericardium (DCP) and graphene oxide (GO) was fabricated by an immersion coating technique. The antimicrobial activity of GO was evaluated against Escherichia coli and showed minimum inhibitory concentration at 125 μg/mL and minimum bactericidal concentration at 250 μg/mL.

Copper(II) complex of quercetin Cu+Q, mixed ligand complexes, quercetin-Cu(II)-phenanthroline [Cu+Q(PHt)] and quercetin-Cu(II)-neocuproine [Cu+Q(Neo)] have been synthesized and characterized. From the FT-IR spectroscopic studies, it was evident that C-ring of quercetin is involved in the metal chelation in all the three copper complexes. C-ring chelation was further proven by UV-Visible spectra and the presence of Cu(II) from EPR spectroscopic investigations.
