Single crystals of two new iodide-iodates, Bi[IO]·AgI and Tb[IO]·AgI, are synthesized in hydrothermal systems. The anionic parts in both iodide-iodates are characterized as a complex charged framework of isolated IO umbrella-like groups and large Bi(Tb)-O polyhedra similar to those previously found in La[IO][IO](PbO). Broad channels along the c-axis contain compensators: (AgI) umbrella-like groups and additional Ag ions which form Ag tetrahedral clusters augmented with I halogen. New iodates possess significantly higher second-order nonlinear optical characteristics compared to the previously known lead-containing compounds REE[IO][IO](PbO), REE = La, Pr, Nd. The difference is related to the polar ordering of umbrella-like (AgI) groups in the channels in the new iodide-iodate. Additionally, planar-coordinated Ag atoms add three Ag atoms in umbrellas forming [AgI] polar clusters in the channels.

Regional Functionalization Molecular Design Strategy: A Key to Enhancing the Efficiency of Multi-Resonance OLEDs.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

September 2024

Zhejiang Provincial Engineering Research Center of Energy Optoelectronic Materials and Devices, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ningbo, 315201, P. R. China.

Herein, we propose a regional functionalization molecular design strategy that enables independent control of distinct pivotal parameters through different molecule segments. Three novel multiple resonances thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters A-BN, DA-BN, and A-DBN, have been successfully synthesized by integrating highly rigid and three-dimensional adamantane-containing spirofluorene units into the MR framework. These molecules form two distinctive functional parts: part 1 comprises a boron-nitrogen (BN)-MR framework with adjacent benzene and fluorene units forming a central luminescent core characterized by an exceptionally rigid planar geometry, allowing for narrow FWHM values; part 2 includes peripheral mesitylene, benzene, and adamantyl groups, creating a unique three-dimensional "umbrella-like" conformation to mitigate intermolecular interactions and suppress exciton annihilation.

The reactivities of two 20-membered macrocyclic ligands, each containing two N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and two amine groups, towards [IrCl(COD)] (COD is cycloocta-1,5-diene) were investigated. Macrocycles containing imidazolin-2-ylidene groups formed the monometallic complex [(1,2,5,6-η)-cycloocta-1,5-diene](5,16-dibenzyl-1,5,9,12,16,20-hexaazatricyclo[18.2.

Murine models describe a defined host/pathogen interaction for urinary tract infection, but human cell studies are scant. Although recent human urothelial organoid models are promising, none demonstrate long-term tolerance to urine, the natural substrate of the tissue and of the uropathogens that live there. We developed a novel human organoid from progenitor cells which demonstrates key structural hallmarks and biomarkers of the urothelium.
