Title: Axial Elongation of Mononuclear Lanthanide Metallocenophanes: Magnetic Properties of Dysprosium‐ and Terbium‐[1]Ruthenocenophane Complexes
Abstract

We report the first f‐block‐ruthenocenophane complexes1(Dy) and2(Tb) and provide a comparative discussion of their magnetic structure with respect to earlier reported ferrocenophane analogues. While axial elongation of the rare trigonal‐prismatic geometry stabilizes the magnetic ground state in the case of Dy3+and results in a larger barrier to magnetization reversal (U), a decrease inUis observed for the case of Tb3+.

  2. Abstract

    Three new polynuclear clusters with the formulae [Mn10O4(OH)(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}2{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}4(MeCO2)6](ClO4)2(1), Na[Mn12O2(OH)3(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OH)(O)}2(MeCO2)2(H2O)10](ClO4)8(2) and [Mn12O4(OH)2{(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}(MeCO2)3(NO3)3(H2O)(DMF)2](NO3)2(3) were prepared from the combination of di‐2‐pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, with the aliphatic diols (1,3‐propanediol (pdH2) or 1,4‐butanediol (1,4‐bdH2)) in Mn carboxylate chemistry. The reported compounds do not include the aliphatic diols employed in this reaction scheme; however, their use is essential for the formation of13. The crystal structures of13are based on multilayer cores which, to our knowledge, are reported for the first time in Mn cluster chemistry. Direct current (dc) magnetic susceptibility studies showed the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within13. Alternating current (ac) magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of out‐of‐phase signals below 3.0 K for2and3indicating the slow relaxation of the magnetization vector, characteristic of single‐molecule magnets; theUeffvalue of2was found to be 23 K and the preexponential factorτ0~7.6×10−9 s.

  3. Abstract

    Despite the excellent physical properties of single‐component Eu3+–Tb3+‐containing metallopolymers, the development of their flexible white polymer light‐emitting diodes (WPLEDs) for portable full‐color flat displays remains a formidable challenge. Herein, the WPLEDs from a metallopolymerPoly(NVK‐co‐2‐co‐7)are reported, in which [Eu(DBM)3(4‐vp‐PBI)] (2) and [Tb(tba‐PMP)3(4‐vp‐PBI)] (7) with different localized circumstances are grafted into poly(N‐vinyl‐carbarzole) (PVK). In this design, both Dexter and Förster energy transfers occur, which endow a photoluminescent quantum yield up to 22.3% of the straightforward high‐quality white‐lights. Contributing from the stepwise alignment of frontier molecular orbitals ofPoly(NVK‐co‐2‐co‐7)as the emitting layer in combination with CBP‐ and BCP‐assisted carrier‐transports, a reliable WPLED with the record‐renewed electroluminescent performance (LMax= 388.0 cd m−2, ηcMax= 31.1 cd A−1, ηpMax= 15.0 lm W−1, ηEQEMax= 18.1%, and weak efficiency‐roll‐off) among previous organo‐Ln3+‐based white organic light‐emitting diodes/WPLEDs is achieved. This finding renders a single‐component Eu3+–Tb3+‐containing metallopolymers a potential new platform to cost‐effective flexible WPLEDs for practical applications.

  4. Abstract

    The effect of rare earth (RE) single atoms on photocatalytic activity is very complex due to its special electronic configuration, which leads to few reports on the RE single atoms. Here, Dy3+single atom composite photocatalysts are successfully constructed based on both the special role of Dy3+and the special advantages of CdS/g‐C3N4heterojunction in the field of photocatalysis. The results show that an efficient way of electron transfer is provided to promote charge separation, and the dual functions of CO2molecular activation of rare‐earth single atom and 4flevels as electron transport bridge are fully exploited. It is exciting that under visible‐light irradiation, the catalytic performance of CdS:Dy3+/g‐C3N4is6.9 times higher than that of pure g‐C3N4. The catalytic performance of CdS:Dy3+and CdS:Dy3+/g‐C3N4are7 and13.7 times higher than those of pure CdS, respectively. Besides, not all RE ions are suitable for charge transfer bridges, which is not only related to the 4flevels of RE ions but also related to the bandgap structure of CdS and g‐C3N4. The pattern of combining single‐atom catalysis and heterojunction opens up new methods for enhancing photocatalytic activity.

  5. Abstract

    Numerical experiments are performed using a suite of general circulation models that enable the interaction between a Kelvin wave packet and the ionosphere‐thermosphere (IT) to be elucidated. Focus is on an eastward‐propagating ultra‐fast Kelvin wave (UFKW) packet with periods between 2 and 4 days and zonal wavenumbers=−1 during day of year (DOY) 266–281, 2009. Dissipative processes modify the classic UFKW dynamics (equatorially trapped, small meridional wind component) in three ways: (1) molecular diffusion acts to spread the UFKW zonal (u) and meridional (v) wind fields meridionally, pole to pole, asuandv, respectively, decay and grow with increasing height; (2) due to molecular diffusion, the UFKW spectrum at longer periods and with shorter vertical wavelengths preferentially dissipates with height; and (3) interaction with the diurnally varying IT introduces a westward‐propagatings=+2 component to the wind field that significantly modifies its longitude‐UT structure to include a diurnal modulation. The F‐region ionosphere also responds withs=+2, which originates from the influence of diurnally varying E‐region conductivity onE×Bdrifts. Additional spectral peaks invand ionospheric parameters arise due to longitude variations in the magnetic field. Maximum excursions in NmF2 (as compared with those from a simulation without UFKW forcing) achieve values as large as ±50% but more commonly occur in the range of ±20–30%. The combination of positive and negative responses, and their relative magnitudes, depends on the phasing of the UFKW as it moves zonally relative to the Sun‐synchronous diurnal variation of the ionosphere, in addition to its changing amplitude between DOY 266 and 282. Modifications of order 10 ms−1and −7% to zonal‐mean zonal winds and NmF2, respectively, also result from dissipation of the UFKW packet.
