Non-destructive food-quality analysis using near-infrared luminescence from Mg 3 Gd 2 Ge 3 O 12 :Cr 3+
An efficient broadband NIR garnet-type Mg3Gd2Ge3O12:Cr3+phosphor with relatively long emission wavelength was developed, which demonstrates an excellent performance in NIR pc-LED applications.

Mn2+doping of CsPbBr3perovskite magic‐sized clusters (PMSCs) has been reported previously, where PMSCs with first excitonic absorption and photoluminescence (PL) around 425 nm were reported originally, followed by Mn2+‐doped PMSCs with host absorption and PL around 400 nm. There, the observed 25 nm blueshift was attributed to smaller PMSCs or the Cl−ions introduced by MnCl2as dopant precursor. However, subsequent studies suggest that the 400 nm band may instead be due to ligand‐assisted metal halide molecular clusters (MHMCs), which lack the A component of perovskite. This raises the question whether the originally claimed Mn2+‐doped PMSCs are actually MHMCs. To unambiguously address this issue, Mn2+‐doped CH3NH3PbBr3PMSCs were synthesized with PL at both 440 nm, attributed to the PMSC, and at 600 nm, attributed to Mn2+. Blueshifting of the host absorption and PL bands due to Cl−codoping is avoided by selecting MnBr2as dopant precursor rather than MnCl2. Dopant incorporation into PMSCs is further supported by PL excitation, time‐resolved PL, and electron paramagnetic resonance studies. This work provides direct and strong evidence of successful Mn2+doping in PMSCs.more » « less

Abstract Metronidazole and nimorazole are antibiotics of a nitroimidazole group which also may be potentially utilized as hypoxia radiosensitizers for the treatment of cancerous tumors. Hyperpolarization of15N nuclei in these compounds using SABRE‐SHEATH (Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange in SHield Enables Alignment Transfer to Heteronuclei) approach provides dramatic enhancement of detection sensitivity of these analytes using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Methanol‐d4is conventionally employed as a solvent in SABRE hyperpolarization process. Herein, we investigate SABRE‐SHEATH hyperpolarization of isotopically labeled [15N3]metronidazole and [15N3]nimorazole in nondeuterated methanol and ethanol solvents. Optimization of such hyperpolarization parameters as polarization transfer magnetic field, temperature, parahydrogen flow rate and pressure allowed us to obtain an average15N polarization of up to 7.2–7.4 % for both substrates. The highest15N polarizations were observed in methanol‐d4for [15N3]metronidazole and in ethanol for [15N3]nimorazole. At a clinically relevant magnetic field of 1.4 T the15N nuclei of these substrates possess long characteristic hyperpolarization lifetimes (T1) of ca. 1 to ca. 7 min. This study represents a major step toward SABRE in more biocompatible solvents, such as ethanol, and also paves the way for future utilization of these hyperpolarized nitroimidazoles as molecular contrast agents for MRI visualization of tumors.more » « less

Abstract Careful analysis of the crystals formed in the reduction of AriPr8AlI2(AriPr8=C6H‐2,6‐(C6H2‐2,4,6‐iPr3)2‐3,5‐iPr2) with sodium on sodium chloride showed them to contain the long sought‐after dialuminene AriPr8AlAlAriPr8(1) that forms alongside the previously characterized alanediyl :AlAriPr8. The single crystal X‐ray structure of1revealed a nearly planar,trans‐bent C(ipso)AlAlC(ipso) core with an Al−Al distance of 2.648(2) Å. The molecular and electronic structure of1are consistent with an Al−Al double dative interaction augmented with diradical character and stabilized by dispersion interactions. Density functional theory calculations showed that the reactivity of :AlAriPr8with dihydrogen involves1, not :AlAriPr8, as the reactive species. In contrast, the reaction of :AlAriPr8with ethylene gave two products, the 1,4‐dialuminacyclohexane AriPr8Al(C2H4)2AlAriPr8(2) and the aluminacyclopentane AriPr8Al(C4H8) (3), that can both form from the aluminacyclopropane intermediate AriPr8Al(C2H4). Although the [2+2+2] cycloaddition of1with two equivalents of ethylene was also calculated to be exergonic, it is likely to be kinetically blocked by the numerous isopropyl substituents surrounding the Al−Al bond. Attempts to fine‐tune the steric bulk of the terphenyl ligand to allow stronger Al−Al bonding were unsuccessful, leading to the isolation of the sodium salt of a cyclotrialuminene, Na2[AlAriPr6]3(4), instead of AriPr6AlAlAriPr6.more » « less
