Title: Rh( iii )-catalyzed building up of used heterocyclic cations: facile access to white-light-emitting materials

This work unlocks an opportunity to rapidly construct fused heterocyclic cations for efficient screening of single-molecular white-light-emitting materials and pure red-light-emitting materials.

  1. Platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes containing two platinum centers bridged by different types of ligands have received great research attention for their unique properties and potential applications in a variety of areas. The properties of these binuclear Pt( ii ) complexes, which could be significantly different from those of their mononuclear counterparts, are highly tunable by modifying their cyclometallating ligands and bridging ligands, as well as their structural configurations. The photophysical properties of these complexes involving a wide range of spectroscopic phenomena make them a very interesting class of materials to be spectroscopically studied. Applications of platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes have been explored in several areas, ranging from light emitting diodes, to sensors and photocatalysis. In this review, the molecular structures, photophysical properties, and applications of a variety of platinum( ii ) binuclear complexes are discussed. We intend to shed some light on the recent progress in this field and give a future outlook.

  2. Shortwave infrared (SWIR, 1000–1700 nm) and extended SWIR (ESWIR, 1700–2700 nm) absorbing materials are valuable for applications including fluorescence based biological imaging, photodetectors, and light emitting diodes.

  3. Significance

    Light-emitting materials have been widely studied for their promising applications in chemical and biological science. Here we report three phenanthrene-21-crown-7 functionalized fluorescent Pt(II) rhomboidal metallacycles which were then converted into fluorescent supramolecular oligomers by reacting with a bis-ammonium linker. One of these constructs shows concentration-dependent fluorescence in a wide color range, where orange emission at high concentration and blue emission at low concentration was observed. Moreover, at a concentration of 29 µM the same ensemble emits white light that has emerged from the integration of the complementary orange and blue color from the metallacycles and linker, respectively. This study shows how light-emitting materials can be obtained by the proper implementation of multiple orthogonal interactions in a single process.

  4. Abstract

    The effects of different dielectric outcoupling layers on top‐emitting perovskite light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) are studied. The ability to manipulate light output via index of refraction and thickness variation of the outcoupling layer is demonstrated, leading to 27.7% improvement in external quantum efficiency (EQE) compared to devices without added outcoupling dielectric layers. Optimal dielectric thicknesses are able to be resolved for EQE enhancement across three outcoupling materials with different refractive indices. Optical simulations are shown to agree well with experimental results and allow for future optimization for various perovskite compositions with different emission spectra.

  5. Abstract

    In this work, an electron blocking layer (EBL) free light emitting diode (LED) nanowire is proposed with alternate prestrained layers of InxGa1xN/GaN, which are inserted between the GaN/InGaN multi‐quantum wells (MQWs) and n‐GaN layer. This study signifies the role of prestrained layers on the piezoelectric polarization of LED nanowires, for enhanced luminescence. When compared with the conventional one, the EBL free LED nanowire with prestrained layer shows an enhancement of ~2.897% efficiency, which occurs due to the reduction of polarization field in the active region. The LED with 15% indium in the prestrained layer obtains a maximum efficiency of 85.21% along with a minimum efficiency droop of 3.848% at 40 mA injected current. The proposed III‐nitride LED nanostructure allows for achieving superior optical power across the output spectral range.
