Article Abstract

Molecular-based afterglow materials have garnered significant attention due to their diverse applications. However, most studies focus on conventional luminophores, leaving nonconventional systems underexplored, particularly regarding the screening of new material subclasses and the development of applications such as sensing. Herein we report the successful preparation of two new two-dimensional ZnSO-based open-framework materials (OFMs)─(HDABCO)[Zn(μ-OH)(SO)]·HO () and (HDABCO)[Zn(SO)] ()─through self-assembly of Zn/SO with nonaromatic triethylenediamine (DABCO). Both compounds exhibit distinct delayed emission characteristics with lifetimes of 259.10 ms () and 49.62 μs (), respectively. Frontier orbital analysis reveals the key role of charge transfer between sulfate groups to (HDABCO) cations in the luminescence. Notably, demonstrates exceptional performance as an afterglow probe for the selective detection of -propylamine and -butylamine vapors, achieving detection limits of 32.99 and 47.18 ppm, respectively. The sensing mechanism involves a phase-transition process, and the luminescence change can be observed by the naked eye. This work pioneers the integration of sulfate-based OFMs with nonconventional room-temperature phosphorescence properties, demonstrating their potential as afterglow probes for industrial and environmental monitoring.

Chiral amino alcohols are valuable building blocks in the synthesis of drugs, natural products, and chiral ligands used in enantioselective catalysis. The Petasis borono-Mannich reaction is a multicomponent condensation reaction of aldehydes, amines, and boronic acids to afford chiral amines. This report describes a practical, easily scaled, enantioselective Petasis borono-Mannich reaction of glycolaldehyde with primary or secondary amines and boronates catalyzed by BINOL-derived catalysts to afford chiral 1,2-amino alcohols in high yields and enantioselectivities.

The development of non-aromatic hydrogels with unique persistent room-temperature phosphorescent (RTP) through simple preparation methods remains a great challenge. Here, we propose and demonstrate a facile and universal hydrothermal processing strategy for transforming mechanical weak and non-RTP emissive non-aromatic hydrogels into mechanically very strong and persistent RTP hydrogels by metal ion coordination-induced clustering of non-conventional chromophores. As a model system, through hydrothermal processing in a solution of aluminum ions, polyacrylamide hydrogels show dramatically enhanced mechanical properties with tensile strength and elastic modulus up to 12.

Nonconventional Luminescence of Halogenated Silanes: Mechanistic Insight.

J Phys Chem B

State Key Laboratory of Bio-based Fiber Materials, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, P. R. China.

In this study, the luminescence properties and emission mechanisms of five halogenated silanes, hexamethyldisiloxane (HT), chloromethylsilane (CT), iodomethylsilane (IT), chlorosilane (CS), and 1,1,2,2-perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane (FS) are systematically investigated. The effects of halogen type, substitution position, and temperature on luminescence efficiency, Stokes shift, and phosphorescence lifetime are elucidated through fluorescence, phosphorescence analysis, and theoretical calculations (at room temperature and 77 K). The results revealed that CS exhibits excellent fluorescence emission at 365 nm and significantly prolonged low-temperature phosphorescence lifetime due to its reduced nonradiative transitions and minimized excited-state energy dissipation.

Hyperbranched polysiloxanes are a class of nonconventional polymers with unique structural features and excellent physicochemical properties, which have attracted great attention in the field of luminescent materials. This review summarizes the recent progress in the study of luminescence mechanisms and optical properties of various hyperbranched polymers containing Si─O─C segments with Si as branching points, including hyperbranched polysiloxanes, hyperbranched polyborosiloxanes, and hyperbranched polysilphosphates. Through molecular design and structural regulation, researchers have successfully achieved multicolor fluorescence and room-temperature phosphorescence emission ranging from blue to red in these polymers, with quantum yields reaching up to 54.

Nonconventional luminogens have great potential applications in fields like cell imaging and anti-counterfeiting encryption. But so far, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of most these solids is still relatively low and the persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) emission is relatively weak. To improve their PLQY and p-RTP, pressing the powder into tablets is preliminarily proven to be an effective method, but the specific mechanism has not been fully elucidated yet.
