It has been challenging to design multifunctional lead-free organic-inorganic hybrid halides that can exhibit fascinating magnetic and photoluminescence properties since the dimensionality of the compounds has a contrasting impact on them. In this context, our newly synthesized compound (2-bromoethylammonium)MnBr (BEAMBr) crystallizes in the monoclinic 2/ space group with corner-sharing zigzag 1D chains of MnBr distorted octahedra. Intriguingly, it exhibits a long-range antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperature (∼2.5 K) along with a typical low-dimensional broad magnetic susceptibility hump. The magnetic properties modeled by the exact diagonalization approach indicate strong intrachain and weak interchain interactions with = -50.1 K, = -13.0 K, and ' = -1.25 K, respectively, suggesting excellent one-dimensionality. In addition, BEAMBr displays orange-red emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 15.2%. Interestingly, electron-phonon coupling was observed in this soft distorted compound with coupling strength = 128.3 meV, confirmed from the analysis of temperature-dependent emission line width broadening and Raman spectra.

The development of photoswitches that absorb low energy light is of notable interest due to the growing demand for smart materials and therapeutics necessitating benign stimuli. Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are molecular photoswitches that respond to light in the visible to near-infrared spectrum. As a result of their modular assembly, DASAs can be modified at the donor, acceptor, triene, and backbone heteroatom molecular compartments for the tuning of optical and photoswitching properties.

We present a six-step cascade that converts 1,3-distyrylbenzenes (-stilbenes) into nonsymmetric pyrenes in 40-60% yields. This sequence merges photochemical steps, ,-alkene isomerization, a 6π photochemical electrocyclization (Mallory photocyclization); the new bay region cyclization, with two radical iodine-mediated aromatization steps; and an optional aryl migration. This work illustrates how the inherent challenges of engineering excited state reactivity can be addressed by logical design.

This paper provides extensive studies of [IrCl(Ph-py)(morph-CH-terpy-κN)]PF (), [Ir(Ph-py)(morph-CH-terpy-κN)]PF (), [IrCl(Ph-py)(Ph-terpy-κN)]PF (), and [Ir(Ph-py)(Ph-terpy-κN)]PF () designed to demonstrate the possibility of controlling the photophysical properties of mono- and bis-cyclometalated complexes [IrCl(Ph-py)(R-CH-terpy-κN)]PF and [Ir(Ph-py)(R-CH-terpy-κN)]PF through a remote electron-donating substituent introduced into the 4'-position of 2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (terpy) via the phenyl linker. The attachment of the morpholinyl (morph) group was evidenced to induce dramatic changes in the emission characteristics of the monocyclometalated Ir(III) systems with coordinated R-CH-terpy ligand (κN). In solution, the obtained complex [IrCl(Ph-py)(morph-CH-terpy-κN)]PF was found to be a rare example of dual-emissive Ir(III) systems.

The incorporation of photoactive organic dyes into layered inorganic materials enhances their optical and chemical properties, making them ideal for sensing applications. In this study, Bisindolyl methane (BIM)-based neutral probes were integrated with bentonite clay to explore their sensing capabilities. Probe 1 (unoxidized BIM) and Probe 2 (oxidized BIM) generally exhibited quenched luminescence in solution due to intramolecular rotations.

A Pd (II)-catalyzed direct C3-(sp)-H alkenylation of heteroarenes using benzothiazole as a directing group was successfully achieved. A wide range of 2--alkylpyrroles undergo an oxidative coupling with a variety of acrylates to furnish highly regio- and chemoselective E-alkenylation products at the C3 position. An important intermediate complex has been isolated and characterized so as to have an insight into the mechanism.
