Interaction between upconverting nanoparticles and aluminum octacarboxyphthalocyanine was studied. The efficiency of non-radiative energy transfer from the nanoparticles to phthalocyanine increased with the number of phthalocyanine molecules adsorbed on the nanoparticle, but only up to a certain limit. Further increase in the phthalocyanine concentration resulted in a decrease of its sensitized fluorescence due to the dimerization of dye molecules on the nanoparticle surface. When subjected to infrared irradiation, phthalocyanine molecules in the hybrid complex generated singlet oxygen. The observed effects are of interest in regard to the targeted search for new components of efficient third-generation hybrid photosensitizers.

Article Synopsis
  • Control of individual atomic spins is essential for advancements in spintronics, quantum sensing, and quantum information processing, with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) being a effective tool for manipulation.
  • The research presents a new method for self-assembling magnetic organometallic complexes using iron atoms and specific molecules (Cu(dbm) and FePc) on a silver substrate, effectively forming complexes that mimic metallocenes.
  • Magnetic properties of these complexes show a notable Kondo effect, which is explained through density functional theory calculations indicating that the interaction between Fe 3d-orbitals and benzene π-orbitals enhances Kondo screening, offering insights for designing hybrid organometallic systems.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been identified as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, most of the reported MOFs have low electrical conductivity and poor stability, and therefore addressing these problems is crucial for achieving higher electrocatalytic performance. Meanwhile, direct observations of the electrocatalytic behavior, which is of great significance to the understanding of the electrocatalytic mechanism, remain highly challenging.

Indium(iii) phthalocyanine chloride deposited on Pb(100) is studied by scanning tunnelling spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures. The Cl ions are dissociated and the remaining indium phthalocyanine (InPc) is observed in two states with the metal ion pointing to (↓) or away (↑) from the substrate. Isolated molecules and islands with a superstructure and a unit cell of four inequivalent molecules, namely one InPc↑ and three InPc↓ in different sites, are observed.
