Low-dimensional metal halide perovskites have become emerging candidates for applications in light emitting diodes due to the quantum confinement effect by tuning their composition and structure. However, they suffer from longstanding issues of environmental stability and lead toxicity. Herein, we report phosphorescent manganese halides, (TEM)MnBr (TEM = HN(CHCH), triethylammonium) and (IM)[MnBr][MnBr] (IM = CHN, imidazolium) with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 50% and 7%, respectively. (TEM)MnBr with a tetrahedral configuration exhibits brilliant green light emission centered at 528 nm, while the (IM)[MnBr][MnBr] compound, in which octahedral and tetrahedral units coexist, exhibits red colored emission at 615 nm. The excited state of (TEM)MnBr and (IM)[MnBr][MnBr] is found to exhibit distinct photophysical emission characteristics consistent with triplet state phosphorescence. Efficient phosphorescence was achieved with a long lifetime of several milliseconds, 0.38 ms for (TEM)MnBr and 5.54 ms for (IM)[MnBr][MnBr], at room temperature. By studying the temperature dependent PL and single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements and comparing our results with those of previously reported analogues, we have found a direct correlation between Mn⋯Mn distances and PL emission. Our study reveals that the long distance between the Mn centers has made a significant contribution to the long-lived phosphorescence with a highly emissive triplet state.

Terminal metal-phosphorus (M-P) complexes are of significant contemporary interest as potential platforms for P-atom transfer (PAT) chemistry. Decarbonylation of metal-phosphaethynolate (M-PCO) complexes has emerged as a general synthetic approach to terminal M-P complexes. M-P complexes that are stabilized by strong M-P multiple bonds are kinetically persistent and isolable.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful method for exploring molecular electronic structure by exciting core electrons into higher unoccupied molecular orbitals. In this study, we present the first integration of the spin-unrestricted similarity-transformed equation-of-motion coupled cluster method (CVS-USTEOM-CCSD) for core-excited and core-ionized states into the ORCA quantum chemistry package. Using the core-valence separation (CVS) approach, we evaluate the accuracy of CVS-USTEOM-CCSD across 13 open-shell organic systems, covering over 20 core excitations with diverse spin multiplicities (doublet, triplet, and quartet).

The intricate morphology, physicochemical properties, and interacting proteins of lipid droplets (LDs) are associated with cell metabolism and related diseases. To uncover these layers of information, a solvatochromic and photosensitized LDs-targeted probe based on the furan-based D-D-π-A scaffold is developed to offer the following integrated functions. First, the turn-on fluorescence of the probe upon selectively binding to LDs allows for direct visualization of their location and morphology.

Long lifetime multicolor phosphorescence materials possess excellent optical properties and have important application prospects in the fields of advanced anti-counterfeiting and information encryption. However, realizing long lifetime and color-tunable room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) carbon dot (CD) materials has proved challenging. In this study, the organic precursor molecules 2-phenethylamine (2-Ph), 9-aminophenanthrene (9-Ph) and 1-aminopyrene (1-Py) with different degrees of conjugation were selected to synthesize RTP CD composites: 2-Ph@BA, 9-Ph@BA and 1-Py@BA were synthesized by mixing with a boric acid (BA) matrix under high temperature pyrolysis.

Molecular spin qubits have the advantages of synthetic flexibility and amenability to be tailored to specific applications. Among them, chromophore-radical systems have emerged as appealing qubit candidates. These systems can be initiated by light to form triplet-radical pairs that can result in the formation of quartet states by spin mixing.
