Abstract: The development of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials has been hindered by competing microstructure requirements: the need to simultaneously engineer a large hyperpolarizability (a large second‐harmonic generation (SHG)) and a wide HOMO–LUMO gap (a wide band gap). Herein, a non‐centrosymmetric transition‐metal (TM) oxyfluoride K 5 (NbOF 4 )(NbF 7 ) 2 (KNOF) with an extremely high F/O ratio is constructed in high yield. KNOF exhibits an extremely wide band gap (5.88 eV) and a strong powder SHG response (4.0×KH 2 PO 4 )—both being the largest values for TM‐centered oxyfluorides—as well as a birefringence sufficient for applications. The dominant roles of the partially fluorinated [NbO 2 F 4 ] and totally fluorinated [NbF 7 ] groups in achieving the enlarged band gap in KNOF have been clarified by first‐principles calculations. Our results suggest that maximizing the fluorine content of oxyfluorides may unlock the promise of short‐wavelength‐transparent materials with exceptional NLO performance.

Abstract: Porphyrins are important macrocycles with applications in several areas including therapy, catalysis, and sensing. Strong nonlinear optical (NLO) responses are the key to fully exploiting the potential of these biocompatible molecules. We herein report that certain metal‐alkynyl donor/nitro acceptor‐functionalized porphyrins are attractive candidates for NLO applications. We show that specific ex les exhibit record quadratic optical nonlinearity, exceptional two‐photon absorption, and outstanding three‐photon absorption, and we report the first porphyrins that exhibit four‐photon absorption. The two‐, three‐, and four‐photon absorption maxima are found at the corresponding multiples of linear absorption bands that time‐dependent density functional theory assigns as admixtures of porphyrin‐localized π*←π and donor‐porphyrin to porphyrin‐acceptor charge‐transfer transitions.

Abstract: To articulate how Aboriginal community‐controlled art centres support the role of Elders and older people within an ontologically situated, intergenerational model of care. In this paper, we draw on stories (data) generated through interviews involving 75 people associated with three Aboriginal community‐controlled art centres and field notes taken during a Participatory Action Research (PAR) study. The study was undertaken in collaboration with three community‐controlled art centres and two aged care providers over almost 4 years, in erse Indigenous sovereignties, all located in geographically remote Australian locations. Engaging with decolonising and Indigenous theoretical frameworks, our analysis identified three interwoven meta‐themes. These include connection to law and culture purpose and healing. Each theme had important subthemes, and all were central to upholding the well‐being of older people and their families, as well as the art centre workforce, Country, and their broader communities. Our analysis articulates an ontologically situated model of care within Aboriginal community‐controlled art centres. The model sees that older people receive care from art centres and provide care to each other, to younger generations, to art centre staff, to Country, and to their broader communities. In this model, those in receipt of care, many of whom are older people, art centre directors, and important artists, govern how care is conceptualised and delivered.

Abstract: Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-porphyrin (TPP) nanohybrids (RGO-TPP 1 and RGO-TPP 2 ) were prepared by two synthetic routes that involve functionalization of the RGO using diazonium salts. The microscopic structures, morphology, photophysical properties and nonlinear optical performance of the resultant RGO-TPP nanohybrids were investigated. The covalent bonding of the porphyrin-functionalized-RGO nanohybrid materials was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Attachment of the porphyrin units to the surface of the RGO by diazotization significantly improves the solubility and ease of processing of these RGO-based nanohybrid materials. Ultraviolet/visible absorption and steady-state fluorescence studies indicate considerable π-π interactions and effective photo-induced electron and/or energy transfer between the porphyrin moieties and the extended π-system of RGO. The nonlinear optical properties of RGO-TPP 1 and RGO-TPP 2 were investigated by open-aperture Z-scan measurements at 532 nm with both 4 ns and 21 ps laser pulses, the results showing that the chemical nanohybrids exhibit improved nonlinear optical properties compared to those of the benchmark material C 60 , and the constituent RGO or porphyrins.

Abstract: T‐cell receptor + CD4 − CD8 − double‐negative (DN) T cells are a population of T cells present in low abundance in blood and lymphoid organs, but enriched in various organs including the kidney. Despite burgeoning interest in these cells, studies examining their abundance in the kidney have reported conflicting results. Here we developed a flow cytometry strategy to clearly segregate DN T cells from other immune cells in the mouse kidney and used it to characterize their phenotype and response in renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI). These experiments revealed that in the healthy kidney, most DN T cells are located within the renal parenchyma and exhibit an effector memory phenotype. In response to IRI, the number of renal DN T cells is unaltered after 24 h, but significantly increased by 72 h. This increase is not related to alterations in proliferation or apoptosis. By contrast, adoptive transfer studies indicate that circulating DN T cells undergo preferential recruitment to the postischemic kidney. Furthermore, DN T cells show the capacity to upregulate CD8, both in vivo following adoptive transfer and in response to ex vivo activation. Together, these findings provide novel insights regarding the phenotype of DN T cells in the kidney, including their predominant extravascular location, and show that increases in their abundance in the kidney following IRI occur in part as a result of increased recruitment from the circulation. Furthermore, the observation that DN T cells can upregulate CD8 in vivo has important implications for detection and characterization of DN T cells in future studies.

Abstract: Metal cluster core expansion at tetrahedral group 6-group 9 mixed-metal clusters MIr3(μ-CO)3(CO)8(η(5)-L) (M = W, Mo, L = C5H5 M = Mo, L = C5Me5) with the iridium capping reagents Ir(CO)2(η(5)-L') (L' = C5Me5, C5Me4H) in refluxing toluene afforded the trigonal-bipyramidal clusters MIr4(μ-CO)3(CO)7(η(5)-C5H5)(η(5)-L') (M = Mo, L' = C5Me5, 1a M = W, L' = C5Me5, 1b M = Mo, L' = C5Me4H, 1c M = W, L' = C5Me4H, 1d) and MoIr4(μ3-H)(μ-CO)2(μ-η(1):η(5)-CH2C5Me4)(CO)7(η(5)-C5Me5) (2). Related reactions with M2Ir2(μ-CO)3(CO)7(η(5)-L)2 (M = W, Mo, L = C5H5 M = Mo, L = C5Me5) afforded M2Ir3(μ-CO)3(CO)6(η(5)-C5H5)2(η(5)-L') (M = Mo, L' = C5Me5, 3a M = W, L' = C5Me5, 3b M = Mo, L' = C5Me4H, 3c M = W, L' = C5Me4H, 3d), W2Ir3(μ-CO)4(CO)5(η(5)-C5H5)2(η(5)-C5Me4H) (4), and Mo2Ir3(μ-CO)3(CO)6(η(5)-C5Me5)3 (5). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1a-1d, 2, 3a-3d, and 4 confirmed their molecular structures, including the μ-η(1):η(5)-CH2C5Me4 ligand at hydrido cluster 2, derived from a C-H bond activation of one of the methyl groups. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were employed to suggest the structure of 5. The redox behavior of the new clusters was examined through cyclic voltammetry all clusters exhibit oxidation and reduction processes (with respect to the resting state), with the oxidation processes being the more reversible, and increasingly so on decreasing Ir content of the clusters, replacing W by Mo, and increasing alkylation of the cyclopentadienyl ligands. In situ IR and UV-vis-near-IR spectroelectrochemical studies of the reversible oxidation processes in 1a and 3a were undertaken, with the spectra of the former suggesting progression to an all-terminal CO geometry concomitant with the first oxidation and a significant structural change upon the second oxidation step. DFT studies of 1a revealed that its crystallographically-confirmed Mo-equatorial core geometry is essentially isoenergetic with a possible Mo-apical isomer, and identified several bridging CO structures for the charged states.

Abstract: A combination of cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), and Z-scan measurements employing a modified optically transparent thin-layer electrochemical (OTTLE) cell has been used to identify and assign intense transitions of metal alkynyl complexes at technologically important wavelengths in the oxidized state and to utilize these transitions to demonstrate a facile electrochromic switching of optical nonlinearity. Cyclic voltammetric data for the ruthenium(II) complexes trans-[RuXY(dppe)(2)] [dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, X = Cl, Y = Cl (1), Ctbd1 CPh (2), 4-Ctbd1 CC(6)H(4)Ctbd1 CPh (3) X = Ctbd1 CPh, Y = Ctbd1 CPh (4), 4-Ctbd1 CC(6)H(4)Ctbd1 CPh (5)] show a quasi-reversible oxidation at 0.50-0.60 V (with respect to ferrocene/ferrocenium 0.56 V), which is assigned to the Ru(II/III) couple. The ruthenium(III) complex cations trans-[RuXY(dppe)(2)](+) were obtained by the in situ oxidation of complexes 1-5 using an OTTLE cell. The UV-vis-NIR optical spectra of 1(+)-5(+) contain a low-energy band in the near-IR region ( approximately 8000-16 000 cm(-)(1)), in contrast to 1-5, which are optically transparent at wavelengths < 22 000 cm(-)(1). TD-DFT calculations have been applied to model systems trans-[RuXY(PH(3))(4)] [X = Cl, Y = Cl, Ctbd1 CPh, or 4-Ctbd1 CC(6)H(4)Ctbd1 CPh X = Ctbd1 CPh, Y = Ctbd1 CPh or 4-Ctbd1 CC(6)H(4)Ctbd1 CPh] to rationalize the optical spectra of 1-5 and 1(+)-5(+). The important low-energy bands in the electronic spectra of 1(+)-5(+) are assigned to the promotion of an electron from either a chloride p orbital or an ethynyl p orbital to the partially occupied HOMO. These absorption bands have been utilized to demonstrate a facile switching of cubic nonlinear optical (NLO) properties at 12 500 cm(-)(1) (corresponding to the wavelength of maximum transmission in biological materials such as tissue) using the OTTLE cell, the first electrochromic switching of molecular nonlinear refraction and absorption, and the first switching of optical nonlinearity using an electrochemical cell.

Abstract: Two multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based nanohybrids, MWCNT-ZnTPP and MWCNT-TPP (TPP=5-[4-{2-(4-formylphenoxy)- ethyloxy}phenyl]-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin, ZnTPP=5-[4-{(4-formylphenyl)ethynyl}phenyl]-10,15,20-triphenylporphinatozinc(II)), were prepared directly from pristine MWCNTs through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Covalent attachment of the porphyrins to the surfaces of the MWCNTs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible absorption, fluorescence, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Attachment of the porphyrin moieties to the surface of the MWCNTs significantly improves the solubility and ease of processing of these MWCNT-porphyrin composite materials. Z-scan studies reveal that these MWCNT-porphyrin nanohybrids exhibit enhanced nonlinear optical properties under both nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses at λ=532 nm in comparison with free MWCNTs and the free porphyrin chromophores, whereas superior optical limiting performance was displayed by MWCNT-porphyrin composite materials rather than MWCNTs/ZnTPP and MWCNTs/TPP blends, which is consistent with a remarkable accumulation effect as a result of the covalent linkage between the porphyrin and the MWCNTs.

Abstract: Deep‐ultraviolet (deep‐UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in creating tunable deep‐UV lasers for frequency conversion technology. However, practical application of the sole usable crystal, KBe 2 BO 3 F 2 , has been hindered by the high toxicity of beryllium and its layering tendency in crystal growth. Herein, we report a beryllium‐free deep‐UV NLO material NaSr 3 (OH)(B 9 O 16 )[B(OH) 4 ] (NSBOH), synthesized by a covalent bond modification strategy under hydrothermal conditions. Moisture‐stable NSBOH exhibits strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) at 1064 nm (3.3 × KH 2 PO 4 ) and 532 nm (0.55 × β‐BaB 2 O 4 ), both amongst the largest powder SHG responses for a deep‐UV borate, with good phase‐matchability and a short wavelength cutoff edge (below 190 nm). NSBOH possesses a 3D covalent anionic [B 9 O 19 ] ∞ honeycomb‐like framework with no layering. The Sr 2+ and Na + ions, residing in the cavities of the anionic framework, act as templates for the assembly and favorable alignment of NLO‐active groups, resulting in an optimal balance between strong SHG activities and wide UV transparency. These merits indicate NSBOH is a very attractive candidate for deep‐UV NLO applications.

Abstract: A systematically varied series of tetrahedral clusters involving ligand and core metal variation has been examined using crystallography, Raman spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis-NIR and IR spectroelectrochemistry, and approximate density functional theory, to assess cluster rearrangement to accommodate steric crowding, the utility of metal-metal stretching vibrations in mixed-metal cluster characterization, and the possibility of tuning cluster electronic structure by systematic modification of composition, and to identify cluster species resultant upon electrochemical oxidation or reduction. The 60-electron tetrahedral clusters MIr(3)(CO)(11-x)(PMe(3))(x)(eta(5)-Cp) [M = Mo, x = 0, Cp = C(5)H(4)Me (5), C(5)HMe(4) (6), C(5)Me(5) (7) M = W, Cp = C(5)H(4)Me, x = 1 (13), x = 2 (14)] and M(2)Ir(2)(CO)(10-x)(PMe(3))(x)(eta(5)-Cp) [M = Mo, x = 0, Cp = C(5)H(4)Me (8), C(5)HMe(4) (9), C(5)Me(5) (10) M = W, Cp = C(5)H(4)Me, x = 1 (15), x = 2 (16)] have been prepared. Structural studies of 7, 10, and 13 have been undertaken these clusters are among the most sterically encumbered, compensating by core bond lengthening and unsymmetrical carbonyl dispositions (semi-bridging, semi-face-capping). Raman spectra for 5, 8, WIr(3)(CO)(11)(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me) (11), and W(2)Ir(2)(CO)(10)(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me)(2) (12), together with the spectrum of Ir(4)(CO)(12), have been obtained, the first Raman spectra for mixed-metal clusters. Minimal mode-mixing permits correlation between A(1) frequencies and cluster core bond strength, frequencies for the A(1) breathing mode decreasing on progressive group 6 metal incorporation, and consistent with the trend in metal-metal distances [Ir-Ir < M-Ir sigma*(W-W) transition.

Abstract: The design of efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals continues to pose significant challenges due to the difficulty of assembling polar NLO‐active modules in an optimal additive fashion. We report herein the first NLO‐active mercuric nitrates A 2 Hg(NO 3 ) 4 (A=(KHNO), Rb (RHNO)), for which assembly is induced by ionic polarization of the d 10 cations. The two new crystalline compounds are isostructural, featuring interesting pseudo‐diamond‐like structures with parallel [Hg(NO 3 ) 4 ] modules, and leading to strong powder second‐harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 9.2 (KHNO) and 8.8 (RHNO) times that of KH 2 PO 4 . In combination with the simple solution preparation of centimeter‐scale crystals, sufficient birefringence, and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges, these attributes make KHNO and RHNO promising candidates for UV NLO materials. Theoretical calculations and single‐crystal structure analysis reveal that the newly‐developed highly condensed and distorted [Hg(NO 3 ) 4 ] module, with an Hg 2+ cation that is quadruply bidentate nitrate‐ligated, is crucial for the significant SHG responses. This work highlights the potential importance of modules with multiple bidentate ligands for the development of high‐performing next‐generation NLO materials.

Ru(II/III) oxidation potentials increase on replacing yne linkage by E-ene linkage at the phenylene adjacent to the metal center, and on replacing dppe by dppm co-ligands. The low-energy optical absorption maxima occur in the region 20,400-23,300 cm(-1) and are metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) in origin these bands undergo a blue-shift upon pi-bridge lengthening by addition of phenyleneethynylene units, and on replacing E-ene linkages by yne linkages. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations on model complexes have suggested assignments for the low-energy bands. The optical spectra of selected oxidized species contain low-energy ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) bands centered in the region 9760-11,800 cm(-1). Quadratic molecular nonlinearities from hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) studies at 1064 nm reveal an increase in the two-level-corrected beta(0) value on pi-bridge lengthening, a trend that is not seen with beta values because of the blue-shift in lambda(max) for this structural modification. Replacing yne linkages by E-ene linkage at the phenylene adjacent to the metal center or dppm co-ligand by dppe results in an increase in beta and beta(0) values. In contrast, quadratic molecular nonlinearities by HRS at 1300 nm or electric field-induced second-harmonic generation (EFISH) studies at 1907 nm do not afford clear trends.

Abstract: A novel porphyrin derivative bearing one D-π-A-π-D pyrimidine chromophore at the periphery was designed, prepared, and studied using the Z-scan technique, the results showing that this compound exhibits enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) absorption, refraction and optical limiting responses. The significant NLO properties can be ascribed to an effective combination of distinct nonlinear mechanisms.

Abstract: The linear and nonlinear optical properties of two quadrupolar bithiophenes and two quadrupolar cyclopentadithiophenes have been investigated. At the 5,5′ positions of the central bi/dithiophene units, the molecules possess 1,4-phenylalkynyl groups that bear either electron-donating (NPh2) or electron-withdrawing (SO2CF3) groups. The optical properties were experimentally studied and modelled via quantum chemistry computations of key configurations and conformations. All the compounds show good light harvesting efficiency due to their strong absorption in the visible range. These fluorescent compounds are also good two-photon absorbers in the NIR range that can photosensitize oxygen in toluene. DFT calculations reveal that the mixtures of conformers in a solution show similar linear optical properties. TD-DFT calculations reproduce the experimental spectroscopic data fairly well, including vibronic couplings in the fluorescence spectra. The lowest excited state for two-photon absorption corresponds to the S2 state. The roles of the SO2CF3 and NPh2 terminal groups on the nonlinear response were analyzed for possible bio-oriented applications, with the cyclopentadithiophenes showing the most promising figures of merit.

Abstract: Study of mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is hindered by the competing requirements of optimized second‐harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient d ij and laser‐induced damage threshold (LIDT) as well as the harsh synthetic conditions. Herein, we report facile hydrothermal synthesis of a polar NLO vanadate Cs 4 V 8 O 22 (CVO) featuring a quasi‐rigid honeycomb‐layered structure with [VO 4 ] and [VO 5 ] polyhedra aligned parallel. CVO possesses a wide IR‐transparent window, high LIDT, and congruent‐melting behavior. It has very strong phase‐matchable SHG intensities in metal vanadate family (12.0 × KDP @ 1064 nm and 2.2 × AGS @ 2100 nm). First‐principles calculations suggest that the exceptional SHG responses of CVO largely originate from virtual electronic transitions within [V 4 O 11 ] ∞ layer the excellent optical transmittance of CVO arises from the special characteristics of vibrational phonons resulting from the layered structure.

Abstract: Three unusual three-dimensional (3D) tetrazine chromophore-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) {(Et4 N)[WS4 Cu3 (CN)2 (4,4'-pytz)0.5 ]}n (1), {[MoS4 Cu4 (CN)2 (4,4'-pytz)2 ]⋅CH2 Cl2 }n (2), and {[WS4 Cu3 (4,4'-pytz)3 ]⋅[N(CN)2 ]}n (3 4,4'-pytz=3,6-bis(4-pyridyl)tetrazine) have been synthesized and characterized by using FTIR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, gel permeation chromatography, steady-state fluorescence, and thermogravimetric analysis their identities were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. MOF 1 possesses the first five-connected M/S/Cu (M=Mo, W) framework with an unusual 3D (4(4) ⋅6(6) ) topology constructed from T-shaped [WS4 Cu3 ](+) clusters as nodes and single CN(-) /4,4'-pytz bridges as linkers. MOF 2 features a novel 3D MOF structure with (4(20) ⋅6(8) ) topology, in which the bridging 4,4'-pytz ligands exhibit unique distorted arch structures. MOF 3 displays the first 3D MOF structure based on flywheel-shaped [WS4 Cu3 ](+) clusters with a non-interpenetrating honeycomb-like framework and a heavily distorted "ACS" topology. Steady-state fluorescence studies of 1-3 reveal significant fluorescence emissions. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of 1-3 were investigated by using a Z-scan technique with 5 ns pulses at λ=532 nm. The Z-scan experimental results show that the π-delocalizable tetrazine-based 4,4'-pytz ligands contribute to the strong third-order NLO properties exhibited by 1-3. Time-dependent density functional theory studies afforded insight into the electronic transitions and spectral characterization of these functionalized NLO molecular materials.

Abstract: Reaction of [WIr3(mu-CO)3(CO)8(eta-C5Me5)] (1c) with [W(C[triple bond]CPh)(CO)3(eta-C5H5)] afforded the edge-bridged tetrahedral cluster [W2Ir3(mu4-eta2-C2Ph)(mu-CO)(CO)9(eta-C5H5)(eta-C5Me5)] (3) and the edge-bridged trigonal-bipyramidal cluster [W3Ir3(mu4-eta2-C2Ph)(mu-eta2-C=CHPh)(Cl)(CO)8(eta-C5Me5)(eta-C5H5)2] (4) in poor to fair yield. Cluster 3 forms by insertion of [W(C[triple bond]CPh)(CO)3(eta-C5H5)] into Ir-Ir and W-Ir bonds, accompanied by a change in coordination mode from a terminally bonded alkynyl to a mu4-eta2 alkynyl ligand. Cluster 4 contains an alkynyl ligand interacting with two iridium atoms and two tungsten atoms in a mu4-eta2 fashion, as well as a vinylidene ligand bridging a W-W bond. Reaction of [WIr3(CO)11(eta-C5H5)] (1a) or 1c with [(eta-C5H5)(CO)2 Ru(C[triple bond]C)Ru(CO)2(eta-C5H5)] afforded [Ru2WIr3(mu5-eta2-C2)(mu-CO)3(CO)7(eta-C5H5)2(eta-C5R5)] [R = H (5a), Me (5c)] in low yield, a structural study of 5a revealing a WIr3 butterfly core capped and spiked by Ru atoms the diruthenium ethyndiyl precursor has undergone Ru-C scission, with insertion of the C2 unit into a W-Ir bond of the cluster precursor.

Abstract: Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) solids have attracted interest for their potential in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and nonlinear optical (NLO) devices, but their synthesis remains a major challenge. In this study, the additive Li 2 CO 3 triggers formation of an NCS precursor at an early nucleation stage, and plays a crucial role in the successful polymorphism transformation. The resultant metastable β‐Sc(IO 3 ) 3 is a promising mid‐infrared NLO crystal, with the strongest second‐harmonic generation responses (2.2×KTiOPO 4 @ 2100 nm, 16×KH 2 PO 4 @ 1064 nm) and the largest optical band gap (4.52 eV) for a rare‐earth iodate, as well as sufficient birefringence (Δ n =0.219 @ 546 nm) for type I phase‐matching, and wide optical transparency, which are induced by optimal alignment of the iodate anions. This study reveals the key role of additives in the growth of polar NCS solids, a discovery with implications for the strategic design of new NCS polymorphism materials with exceptional NLO properties.

Ammine complexes 5(PF(6))/6(PF(6)) are shown to afford a facile route to both symmetrical (7) and unsymmetrical (8) osmium bis(alkynyl) complexes. A combination of cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) has permitted identification and assignment of the intense transitions in both the resting state and the oxidized forms of these complexes. Cyclic voltammetric data show fully reversible oxidation processes at 0.32-0.42 V (3, 4, 7, 8) (with respect to ferrocene/ferrocenium 0.56 V), assigned to the (formal) Os(II/III) couple. The osmium(III) complex (di)cations 5(2+) and 7(+) were obtained by in situ oxidation of 5(+) and 7 using an optically transparent thin-layer electrochemical (OTTLE) cell. The UV-vis-NIR optical spectra of 5(2+) and 7(+) reveal low-energy bands in the near IR region, in contrast to 5(+) and 7 which are optically transparent at frequencies below 22,000 cm(-1). TD-DFT calculations on trans-1, 2, 5(+), and 7 and their oxidized forms suggest that the lowest-energy transitions are chloro-to-metal charge transfer (trans-1), chloro-to-phenylethynyl charge transfer (2), and metal-to-phenylethynyl charge transfer (5(+), 7) in the resting state and chloro-to-metal charge transfer (trans-1(+)), phosphorus-to-metal charge transfer (5(2+)), alkynyl-to-metal charge transfer (7(+)), or phenylalkynyl-centered π → π* (2(+)) following oxidation. The presence of intense CT bands in the resting states and oxidized states and their significantly different nature across the two states, coupled to their strong charge displacement suggest that these species have considerable potential as electrochemically switchable nonlinear optical materials, while the facile unsymmetrical bis(alkynyl)osmium(II) construction suggests potential in construction of multistate heterometallic modular assemblies.

Abstract: The targeted synthesis of deep‐ultraviolet (deep‐UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, especially those with non‐π‐conjugated sulfates, has experienced considerable difficulties due to the need to reconcile the oft‐competing requirements for deep‐UV transparency and strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG). We report herein the designed synthesis of the first rare‐earth metal‐based deep‐UV sulfate La(NH 4 )(SO 4 ) 2 by a double‐salt strategy involving introduction of complementary cations, together with optical studies that reveal a short‐wavelength deep‐UV absorption edge (below 190 nm) and the strongest SHG response among deep‐UV NLO sulfates (2.4×KDP). Theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis suggest that the excellent balance between SHG response and deep‐UV transparency can be attributed to a synergistic interaction of the hetero‐cations La 3+ and [NH 4 ] + , which optimize alignment of the [SO 4 ] tetrahedra and highly polarizable [LaO 8 ] polyhedra.

Abstract: Histologic scoring systems specific for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are not validated. We recently determined the applicability and prognostic value of three histological scoring systems in a single PSC cohort. The aim of this study was to validate their prognostic use and reproducibility across a multicenter PSC cohort. Liver biopsies from PSC patients were collected from seven European institutions. Histologic scoring was performed using the Nakanuma, Ishak, and Ludwig scoring systems. Biopsies were independently scored by six liver pathologists for interobserver agreement. The prognostic value of clinical, biochemical, and all three histologic scoring systems on predicting composite endpoints 1 (PSC‐related death and liver transplantation), 2 (liver transplantation), and 3 (liver‐related events), was assessed using univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling. A total of 119 PSC patients were identified, and the median follow‐up was 142 months. During follow‐up, 31 patients died (20 PSC‐related deaths), 31 patients underwent liver transplantation, and 35 patients experienced one or more liver‐related events. All three staging systems were independent predictors of endpoints 2 and 3 (Nakanuma system: hazard ratio [HR], 3.16 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.49‐6.68] for endpoint 2 and HR, 2.05 [95% CI, 1.17‐3.57] for endpoint 3 Ishak system: HR, 1.55 [95% CI, 1.10‐2.18] for endpoint 2 and HR, 1.43 [95% CI, 1.10‐1.85] for endpoint 3 Ludwig system: HR, 2.62 [95% CI, 1.19‐5.80] for endpoint 2 and HR, 2.06 [95% CI, 1.09‐3.89] for endpoint 3). Only the Nakanuma staging system was independently associated with endpoint 1: HR, 2.14 (95% CI, 1.22‐3.77). Interobserver agreement was moderate for Nakanuma stage (κ = 0.56) and substantial for Nakanuma component fibrosis (κ = 0.67), Ishak stage (κ = 0.64), and Ludwig stage (κ = 0.62). Conclusion : We confirm the independent prognostic value and demonstrate for the first time the reproducibility of staging disease progression in PSC using the Nakanuma, Ishak, and Ludwig staging systems. The Nakanuma staging system—incorporating features of chronic biliary disease—again showed the strongest predictive value. (H epatology 2017 :907‐919).

Abstract: Ruthenium alkynyl dendrimers up to second generation in size have been prepared by a ergent route and exploiting Sonogashira coupling. The cubic NLO properties have been examined by wide spectral range fs Z‐scan studies, revealing an NLO dendritic effect. The significant increase in NLO properties seen on generation increase is maintained when the coefficients are scaled by the number of metal atoms, the dendrimer molecular weights, or the number of “effective” (delocalizable π) electrons in the dendritic structures.

Abstract: A combination of cyclic voltammetry (CV), UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry, hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) [including depolarization studies], Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) [including studies employing an optically transparent thin-layer electrochemical (OTTLE) cell to effect electrochemical switching of nonlinearity], pump-probe, and electroabsorption (EA) measurements have been used to comprehensively investigate the electronic, linear optical, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of nanoscopic pi-delocalizable electron-rich alkynylruthenium dendrimers, their precursor dendrons, and their linear analogues. CV, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and UV-vis-NIR spectroelectrochemistry reveal that the reversible metal-centered oxidation processes in these complexes are accompanied by strong linear optical changes, "switching on" low-energy absorption bands, the frequency of which is tunable by ligand replacement. HRS studies at 1064 nm employing nanosecond pulses reveal large nonlinearities for these formally octupolar dendrimers depolarization measurements are consistent with lack of coplanarity upon pi-framework extension through the metal. EA studies at 350-800 nm in a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix are consistent with the important transitions having a charge-transfer exciton character that increases markedly on introduction of peripheral polarizing substituent. Time-resolved pump-probe studies employing 55 ps, 527 nm pulses reveal absorption saturation, the longest excited-state lifetime being observed for the dendrimer. Z-scan studies at 800 nm employing femtosecond pulses reveal strong two-photon absorption that increases significantly on progression from linear complex to zero- and then first-generation dendrimer with no loss of optical transparency. Both refractive and absorptive nonlinearity for selected alkynylruthenium dendrimers have been reversibly "switched" by employing the Z-scan technique at 800 and 1180 nm and 100-150 fs pulses, together with a specially modified OTTLE cell, complementary femtosecond time-resolved DFWM and transient absorption studies at 800 nm suggesting that the NLO effects originate in picosecond time scale processes.

Abstract: Efficient syntheses of the cis and trans isomers of [OsCl2(Me2SO)4] are reported. While a structural study of thetrans isomer confirms the spectroscopically assigned all-S-bound Me2SO configuration, a crystallographic determination of the cis isomer reveals a previously unheralded all-S-bound Me2SO geometry, in contrast to the spectroscopically inferred configuration predominant in solution which has one O-bound ligand. Fortrans-[OsCl2(Me2SO)4], crystals are tetragonal, space group I 4/m, with a 9·092(2), c 11·212(3) Å, Z 2, 566 unique reflections (34 parameters), converging at R 0·026 and Rw 0·032.

Abstract: Wide ultraviolet (UV) transparency, strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) response, and sufficient optical birefringence for phase‐matching (PM) at short SHG wavelengths are vital for practical UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, simultaneously optimizing these properties is a major challenge, particularly for metal phosphates. Herein, we report a non‐traditional π‐conjugated cation‐based UV NLO phosphate [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 6 (PO 4 ) 2 ⋅3 H 2 O (GPO) with a short UV cutoff edge. GPO is SHG active at 1064 nm (3.8 × KH 2 PO 4 @ 1064 nm) and 532 nm (0.3 × β‐BaB 2 O 4 @ 532 nm) and also possesses a significant birefringence (0.078 @ 546 nm) with a band gap .0 eV. The PM SHG capability of GPO can extend to 250 nm, indicating GPO is a promising UV solar‐blind NLO material. Calculations and crystal structure analysis show that the rare coexistence of wide UV transparency, large SHG response, and optical anisotropy is due to the introduction of π‐conjugated cations [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + and their favorable arrangement with [PO 4 ] 3− anions.

Abstract: Multi‐photon absorption (MPA) is of increasing interest for applications in technologically important “windows” of the electromagnetic spectrum (near‐infrared III, NIR‐III, 1550–1870 nm and the new 2080–2340 nm region) however, few molecules exist that display strong MPA at these long wavelengths. We herein report the syntheses of the first 2,5,8‐ s ‐heptazine‐cored organometallic complexes, together with organic analogues. The complexes exhibit outstanding 3PA cross‐sections in the NIR‐III and exceptional 4PA cross‐sections in the new 2080–2340 nm window. We demonstrate that replacing organic donor groups by organometallic units results in an order of magnitude increase in 3PA, the “switching on” of 4PA, and a dramatic improvement in photo‐stability. Our results highlight the impressive outcomes possible with an “organometalation” approach to NLO materials design.

Abstract: Porphyrins are important macrocycles with applications in several areas including therapy, catalysis, and sensing. Strong nonlinear optical (NLO) responses are the key to fully exploiting the potential of these biocompatible molecules. We herein report that certain metal‐alkynyl donor/nitro acceptor‐functionalized porphyrins are attractive candidates for NLO applications. We show that specific ex les exhibit record quadratic optical nonlinearity, exceptional two‐photon absorption, and outstanding three‐photon absorption, and we report the first porphyrins that exhibit four‐photon absorption. The two‐, three‐, and four‐photon absorption maxima are found at the corresponding multiples of linear absorption bands that time‐dependent density functional theory assigns as admixtures of porphyrin‐localized π*←π and donor‐porphyrin to porphyrin‐acceptor charge‐transfer transitions.

Abstract: Compounds of the form Ru(X2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CC6H4NO2-p)2(X2bipy = 4,4'-X(2)-2,2'-bipyridine, X = Me 3a, Br 3b, I 3c) have been synthesised from the mono-alkynyl precursors Ru(X2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CC6H4NO2-p)Cl (X = Me 2a, Br 2b, I 2c) the former are the first ruthenium bis-alkynyl compounds that also contain a bipyridyl ligand. Spectroelectrochemical investigation of 3a shows that the metal is readily oxidised to form the ruthenium(III) compound 3a+, and will also undergo a single-electron reduction at each nitro group to form 3a2-. ESR and UV/visible spectra of these redox congeners are presented. We also report the synthesis of [Ru(Me2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CBut)(N triple bond N)][PF6] during the attempted synthesis of Ru(Me2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CBut)2, and report its X-ray crystal structure and IR spectrum. X-Ray crystal structures of 3b and 3c(as two different solvates) are presented, and the nature of the intermolecular interactions seen therein is discussed. Z-Scan measurements on Ru(Me2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CR)Cl (R = C6H4NO2-p2a, But, Ph, C6H4Me) are also reported, and show that Ru(Me2bipy)(PPh3)2(-C triple bond CR)Cl (R = C6H4NO2-p2a, Ph) exhibit moderate third-order non-linearities.

Abstract: The synthesis of fac-[Ir{N,C1′-(2,2′-NC5H4C6H3-5′-C≡C-1-C6H2-3,5-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CH)}3] (10), which bears pendant ethynyl groups, and its reaction with [RuCl(dppe)2]PF6 to afford the heterobimetallic complex fac-[Ir{N,C1′-(2,2′-NC5H4C6H3-5′-C≡C-1-C6H2-3,5-Et2-4-C≡CC6H4-4-C≡C-trans-[RuCl(dppe)2])}3] (11) is described. Complex 10 is available from the two-step formation of iodo-functionalized fac-tris[2-(4-iodophenyl)pyridine]iridium(III) (6), followed by ligand-centered palladium-catalyzed coupling and desilylation reactions. Structural studies of tetrakis[2-(4-iodophenyl)pyridine-N,C1′](μ-dichloro)diiridium 5, 6, fac-[Ir{N,C1′-(2,2′-NC5H4C6H3-5′-C≡C-1-C6H2-3,5-Et2-4-C≡CH)}3] (8), and 10 confirm ligand-centered derivatization of the tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium unit. Electrochemical studies reveal two (5) or one (6–10) Ir-centered oxidations for which the potential is sensitive to functionalization at the phenylpyridine groups but relatively insensitive to more remote derivatization. Compound 11 undergoes sequential Ru-centered and Ir-centered oxidation, with the potential of the latter significantly more positive than that of Ir(N,C′-NC5H4-2-C6H4-2)3. Ligand-centered π–π* transitions characteristic of the Ir(N,C′-NC5H4-2-C6H4-2)3 unit red-shift and gain in intensity following the iodo and alkynyl incorporation. Spectroelectrochemical studies of 6, 7, 9, and 11 reveal the appearance in each case of new low-energy LMCT bands following formal IrIII/IV oxidation preceded, in the case of 11, by the appearance of a low-energy LMCT band associated with the formal RuII/III oxidation process. Emission maxima of 6–10 reveal a red-shift upon alkynyl group introduction and arylalkynyl π-system lengthening this process is quenched upon incorporation of the ligated ruthenium moiety on proceeding to 11. Third-order nonlinear optical studies of 11 were undertaken at the benchmark wavelengths of 800 nm (fs pulses) and 532 nm (ns pulses), the results from the former suggesting a dominant contribution from two-photon absorption, and results from the latter being consistent with primarily excited-state absorption.

Abstract: The use of carbon-dot-based dual-emission fluorescent nanohybrids (DEFNs) as versatile nanothermometry devices for spatially resolved temperature measurements in living cells is demonstrated. The carbon dots (CDs) are prepared in the organic phase and display tunable photoluminescence (PL) across a wide visible range by adjusting the excitation wavelengths and extend of N-doping. DEFNs are formed in a straightforward fashion from CDs (emitting blue PL) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs, emitting red PL). The DEFNs display ideal single-excitation, dual-emission with two well-resolved, intensity-comparable fluorescence peaks, and function in optical thermometry with high reliability and accuracy by exploiting the temperature sensitivity of their fluorescence intensity ratio (blue/red). Furthermore, the DEFNs have been introduced into cells, exhibiting good biocompatibility, and have facilitated physiological temperature measurements in the range of 25-45 °C the DEFNs can therefore function as "non-contact" tools for the accurate measurement of temperature and its gradient inside a living cell.

Abstract: In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in studies of the optoelectronic properties of graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their derivatives. The chemical functionalization of graphene and CNTs is a key requirement for the development of this field, but it remains a significant challenge. The focus here is on recent advances in constructing nanohybrids of graphene or CNTs covalently linked to porphyrins or phthalocyanines, as well as their application in nonlinear optics. Following a summary of the syntheses of nanohybrids constructed from graphene or CNTs and porphyrins or phthalocyanines, explicit intraconjugate electronic interactions between photoexcited porphyrins hthalocyanines and graphene/CNTs are introduced classified by energy transfer, electron transfer, and charge transfer, and their optoelectronic applications are also highlighted. The major current challenges for the development of covalently linked nanohybrids of porphyrins or phthalocyanines and carbon nanostructures are also presented.

Abstract: Allyloxyporphyrin-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-TPP) were synthesized by radical polymerization and characterized by FTIR, UV/Vis absorption, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy elemental analysis TEM and thermogravimetric analysis. Z-scan studies revealed that this nanohybrid exhibits enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) properties compared to a control s le consisting of a covalently unattached physical blend of MWCNTs and porphyrin, as well as to the separate MWCNTs and porphyrin. At the wavelengths used, the mechanism of enhanced optical limiting likely involves reverse saturable absorption, nonlinear scattering, and photoinduced electron/energy transfer between the MWCNTs and the porphyrin. The role of electron/energy transfer in the NLO performance of MWCNT-TPP was investigated by Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract: Cubane-type clusters of formula [Mo(3)CuS(4)Cl(4)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (4), [Mo(3)CuS(4)Br(4)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (5), and [W(3)CuS(4)Br(4)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (6) have been prepared by reacting the incomplete cuboidal trimers [Mo(3)S(4)Cl(3)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (1), [Mo(3)S(4)Br(3)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (2), and [W(3)S(4)Br(3)(dmpe)(3)](PF(6)) (3), respectively, with CuX (X = Cl or Br) or the mononuclear copper complex [Cu(CH(3)CN)(4)](+) in THF. The reaction takes place without global changes in the metal oxidation states, and compounds 4-6 with a [M(3)CuS(4)](5+) core possess 16 e(-) for metal-metal bonding. X-ray structural analysis of 4-6 revealed an effective C(3v) symmetry for the M(3)Cu unit with the M-M distances being statistically the same for M = Mo or W. However, the M-Cu distance is 0.04 and 0.1 A longer than the M-M bond length for Mo and W, respectively. There is no significant structural rearrangement of the ligand-metal bonding in proceeding from [M(3)S(4)X(3)(dmpe)(3)](+) to [M(3)CuS(4)X(4)(dmpe)(3)](+). The cyclic voltammograms of the [Mo(3)CuS(4)] cubane clusters show one quasi-reversible reduction process at E(1/2) = -0.31 V for 4 and at E(1/2) = -0.23 V for 5 and one irreversible reduction at -0.69 and -0.58 V for 4 and 5, respectively. The tungsten cluster 6 shows a unique quasi-reversible reduction wave at E(1/2) = -0.71 V. The incorporation of copper into the incomplete [M(3)S(4)] cuboidal complexes produces a decrease of the reduction potential for both molybdenum and tungsten. Absorption spectra of 1-6 are broadly similar replacing Mo by W in proceeding from 2 to 3 or from 5 to 6 and replacing Br by Cl in proceeding from 2 to 1 or from 5 to 4 results in a blue shift of the three UV-visible absorption bands. All six clusters exhibit optical limiting, as measured by the Z-scan technique at 523 nm using 40 ns pulses. The power-limiting mechanism remains obscure, but under the conditions employed, threshold-limiting fluence decreases on replacing W by Mo on proceeding from 3 to 2 or 6 to 5 and on proceeding from tetranuclear cluster (4-6) to trinuclear precursor (1-3, respectively). For all six clusters, values of the excited-state cross section sigma(eff) are larger than those of the corresponding ground-state cross section sigma(0) i.e., all clusters are efficient optical limiters.

Abstract: A set of copper(I) coordination compounds with general formula [CuBr(PPh3)(dppz-R)] (dppz-R = dipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine (Cu-1), 11-nitrodipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine (Cu-2), 11-cyanodipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine (Cu-3), dipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine-11-phenone (Cu-4), 11,12-dimethyldipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine (Cu-5)) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H-NMR and 31P-NMR spectroscopies as well as mass spectrometry. The structure of Cu-1 was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The effect of incorporating different functional groups on the dppz ligand on the binding into CT-DNA was evaluated by absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching of EtBr-DNA adducts, and viscosity measurements. The functional groups affected the binding modes and hence the strength of binding affinities, as suggested by the changes in the relative viscosity. The differences in the quenching constants (Ksv) obtained from the fluorescence quenching assay highlight the importance of the functional groups in altering the binding sites on the DNA. The molecular docking data support the DNA-binding studies, with the sites and mode of interactions against B-DNA changing with the different functional groups. Evaluation of the anticancer activities of the five copper compounds against two different cancer cell lines (M-14 and MCF-7) indicated the importance of the functional groups on the dppz ligand on the anticancer activities. Among the five copper complexes, the cyano-containing complex (Cu-3) has the best anticancer activities.

The electrochemical properties of 19-24 and related complexes with shorter pi-bridge ligands were assessed by cyclic voltammetry, and the linear optical, quadratic nonlinear optical, and cubic nonlinear optical properties were assayed by UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, hyper-Rayleigh scattering studies at 1064 and 1300 nm, and broad spectral range femtosecond Z-scan studies, respectively. The Ru(II/III) oxidation potentials and wavelengths of the optical absorption maxima decrease on pi-bridge lengthening, until the tri(phenyleneethynylene) complex is reached, further chain lengthening leaving these parameters invariant theoretical studies employing time-dependent density functional theory have shed light on this behavior. The quadratic nonlinearity beta(1064) and two-photon absorption cross-section reach maximal values at this same pi-bridge length, a similar saturation behavior that may reflect a common importance of ruthenium-to-alkynyl ligand charge transfer in electronic and optical behavior in these molecules.

Abstract: Ruthenium(II) arene complexes of the general formula [RuCl(η6-p-cymene)(diamine)]PF6 (diamine = 1,2-diaminobenzene (1), 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (2), 9,10-diaminophenanthrene (3), 2,3-diaminophenazine (4), and 1,2-diaminoanthraquinone (5) were synthesized. Chloro/aqua exchange was evaluated experimentally for complexes 1 and 2. The exchange process was investigated theoretically for all complexes, revealing relatively fast exchange with no significant influence from the polycyclic aromatic diamines. The calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) binding of the complexes increased dramatically upon extending the aromatic component of the diamines, as evaluated by changes in absorption spectra upon titration with different concentrations of CT-DNA. An intercalation binding mode was established for the complexes using the increase in the relative viscosity of the CT-DNA following addition of complexes 1 and 2. Theoretical studies showed strong preference for replacement of water by guanine for all the complexes, and relatively strong Ru–Nguanine bonds. The plane of the aromatic systems can assume angles that support non-classical interactions with the DNA and covalent binding, leading to higher binding affinities. The ruthenium arenes illustrated in this study have promising anticancer activities, with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values comparable to or better than cisplatin against three cell lines.

Abstract: The study of nonlinear optics in the 1960s attracted considerable attention from a theoretical standpoint, engendering many proposals for practical use of these new photonic effects. Among these suggestions, the development of efficient two-photon absorption (2PA) has attracted sustained interest due to its demonstrated (or potential) use in a broad range of applications that include optical data storage, optical limiting and nanofabrication. The use of 2PA in biological applications is particularly appealing. This is because 2PA offers several advantages for bio-oriented applications, such as intrinsic three-dimensional resolution, increased penetration depth in biological materials such as tissue and highly focused excitation at half-energy, leading to a decrease of auto-fluorescence and photodamage. In this Primer Review, we introduce the essential background theory needed for an understanding of the field, we describe the key experiments deployed to quantify material performance, we discuss the evolution of 2PA molecular design, and we summarise the state-of-the-art and the existing challenges in the use of 2PA in imaging, therapy and theranostics.

Abstract: 3,6-Diethynyl-9,10-diethoxyphenanthrene (4) was synthesized from phenanthrene and employed in the synthesis of the binuclear gold(I) alkynyl complexes (R3P)Au(C≡C–3-[C14H6-9,10-diethoxy]-6–C≡C)Au(PR3) (R = Ph (5a), Cy (5b)). The diyne 4 and complexes 5a and 5b were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. UV-Vis spectroscopy studies of the metal complexes and precursor diyne show strong π → π* transitions in the near UV region that red shift by ca. 50 nm upon coordination at the gold centers. The emission spectrum of 4 shows an intense fluorescence band centered at 420 nm which red shifts, slightly upon coordination of 4 to gold. Binding studies of 4, 5a, and 5b against calf thymus DNA were carried out, revealing that 4, 5a, and 5b have ≥40% stronger binding affinities than the commonly used intercalating agent ethidium bromide. The molecular docking scores of 4, 5a, and 5b with B-DNA suggest a similar trend in behavior to that observed in the DNA-binding study. Unlike the ligand 4, promising anticancer properties for 5a and 5b were observed against several cell lines the DNA binding capability of the precursor alkyne was maintained, and its anticancer efficacy enhanced by the gold centers. Such phenanthrenyl complexes could be promising candidates in certain biological applications because the two components (phenanthrenyl bridge and metal centers) can be altered independently to improve the targeting of the complex, as well as the biological and physicochemical properties.

Abstract: Wide ultraviolet (UV) transparency, strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) response, and sufficient optical birefringence for phase‐matching (PM) at short SHG wavelengths are vital for practical UV nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. However, simultaneously optimizing these properties is a major challenge, particularly for metal phosphates. Herein, we report a non‐traditional π‐conjugated cation‐based UV NLO phosphate [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 6 (PO 4 ) 2 ⋅3 H 2 O (GPO) with a short UV cutoff edge. GPO is SHG active at 1064 nm (3.8 × KH 2 PO 4 @ 1064 nm) and 532 nm (0.3 × β‐BaB 2 O 4 @ 532 nm) and also possesses a significant birefringence (0.078 @ 546 nm) with a band gap .0 eV. The PM SHG capability of GPO can extend to 250 nm, indicating GPO is a promising UV solar‐blind NLO material. Calculations and crystal structure analysis show that the rare coexistence of wide UV transparency, large SHG response, and optical anisotropy is due to the introduction of π‐conjugated cations [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] + and their favorable arrangement with [PO 4 ] 3− anions.

Abstract: Noncentrosymmetric (NCS) solids have attracted interest for their potential in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and nonlinear optical (NLO) devices, but their synthesis remains a major challenge. In this study, the additive Li 2 CO 3 triggers formation of an NCS precursor at an early nucleation stage, and plays a crucial role in the successful polymorphism transformation. The resultant metastable β‐Sc(IO 3 ) 3 is a promising mid‐infrared NLO crystal, with the strongest second‐harmonic generation responses (2.2×KTiOPO 4 @ 2100 nm, 16×KH 2 PO 4 @ 1064 nm) and the largest optical band gap (4.52 eV) for a rare‐earth iodate, as well as sufficient birefringence (Δ n =0.219 @ 546 nm) for type I phase‐matching, and wide optical transparency, which are induced by optimal alignment of the iodate anions. This study reveals the key role of additives in the growth of polar NCS solids, a discovery with implications for the strategic design of new NCS polymorphism materials with exceptional NLO properties.

Abstract: The new [(η(2)-dppe)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))Fe(C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(4)C≡C)Ru(η(2) -dppe)(2) C≡C(C(6)H(5))] complex (3-H) and its hexanuclear relative [{(η(2)-dppe)(η(5)-C(5) Me(5))Fe(C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(4)-C≡C)Ru(η(2)-dppe)(2)(C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(4)C≡C)(3)(1,3,5-C(6)H(3))] (4) have been synthesized and characterized. The linear and cubic nonlinear optical properties of these compounds in their various redox states have been studied along with those of the analogous complexes [(η(2)-dppe)(η(5)-C(5)Me(5))Fe(C≡C-1,4-C(6)H(4)C≡C)Ru(η(2)-dppe)(2)R][PF(6)](n) (n=0-2 R=Cl, 2-Cl R=C≡C(4-C(6)H(4)NO(2)),3-NO(2)). We show that molecules exhibiting large third-order nonlinearities can be obtained by assembling such dinuclear Fe/Ru units around a central 1,3,5-substituted C(6)H(3) core. These data are discussed with a particular emphasis on the large changes in their nonlinear (third-order) optical properties brought about by oxidation. Experimental and computational (DFT) evidence for the electronic structures of these compounds in their various redox states is presented using 3-H(n+) as a prototypical model. Single crystals of this complex in its mono-oxidized state (3-H[PF(6)]) provide the first structural data for such carbon-rich Fe(III) /Ru(II) heteronuclear mixed-valent (MV) systems. Although experimental evidence for the structure of the dioxidized states was more difficult to obtain, the theoretical study reveals that 3-H(2+) can be considered to have a biradical structure with two independent spins. The low-lying absorptions that appear in the near-infrared (NIR) range for all these compounds following oxidation correspond to intervalence charge-transfer (IVCT) bands for the mono-oxidized states and to ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (LMCT) transitions for the dioxidized states. These play a crucial role in the strong optical modulation achieved. The possibility of accessing additional states with distinct linear or nonlinear optical properties is also briefly discussed.

All complexes exhibit negative values of γreal (corresponding to self-defocusing behaviour) and significant positive values of γimag (corresponding to two-photon absorption) at short wavelengths (up to 1000 nm). The maximal values of γreal and γimag increase in magnitude on dendrimer generation increase (proceeding from 2 to 4 or 3 to 5). The open-aperture Z-scan results have been used to confirm and contrast the two-photon (2PA) and three-photon absorption (3PA) behaviour of 1–5, the data being consistent with the existence of 2PA at the short wavelength range, but with significant 3PA at longer wavelengths for 1–3 and 5, a record 3PA coefficient for an inorganic complex for 5 at 1180 nm, and appreciable 3PA at the telecommunications wavelength of 1300 nm.

Abstract: The wavelength dependence of the cubic nonlinearity of ligated platinum-terminated polyynes trans, trans-{(p-MeC6H4)3P}2(p-MeC6H4)Pt(C[triple bond]C)n Pt(p-C6H4Me){P(p-C6H4Me)3}2 (n = 3-6, 8, 10, 12) has been examined by femtosecond Z-scan studies in the wavelength range 520-1500 nm and the results rationalized by density functional theory calculations on the model complexes trans, trans-(H3P)2(C6H5)Pt(C[triple bond]C)n Pt(C6H5)(PH3)2 (n = 2-8, 10, 12). Although the final states for one- and two-photon transitions are not the same in these centrosymmetric molecules, the Z-scan studies reveal coincidences in one-photon absorption with features in the frequency dependencies of both real and imaginary parts of the cubic hyperpolarizability, as well as inflections in the frequency dependencies of the real part of gamma that correspond to resonances in the imaginary part of gamma. The theoretical studies suggest that the linear absorption spectra are dominated by X(1)A g --> n(1)B(3u) transitions, with the first state of B(3u) symmetry playing a steadily diminishing role upon oligoyne chain lengthening. The theoretical studies also predict a red-shift of two-photon absorption (TPA) profile with increasing conjugation length, and a significant enhancement on proceeding from the shortest to the longest chromophore, trends that are observed experimentally. The experimental low-energy TPA maxima for these complexes can be approximated by a simple Gaussian profile. The sp-carbon chain-length dependence of linear and nonlinear absorption maxima enable an estimate (neglecting saturation) of 660 and 1000 nm for the infinite carbon chain, carbyne.

Abstract: The targeted synthesis of deep‐ultraviolet (deep‐UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, especially those with non‐π‐conjugated sulfates, has experienced considerable difficulties due to the need to reconcile the oft‐competing requirements for deep‐UV transparency and strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG). We report herein the designed synthesis of the first rare‐earth metal‐based deep‐UV sulfate La(NH 4 )(SO 4 ) 2 by a double‐salt strategy involving introduction of complementary cations, together with optical studies that reveal a short‐wavelength deep‐UV absorption edge (below 190 nm) and the strongest SHG response among deep‐UV NLO sulfates (2.4×KDP). Theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis suggest that the excellent balance between SHG response and deep‐UV transparency can be attributed to a synergistic interaction of the hetero‐cations La 3+ and [NH 4 ] + , which optimize alignment of the [SO 4 ] tetrahedra and highly polarizable [LaO 8 ] polyhedra.

Abstract: Study of mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is hindered by the competing requirements of optimized second‐harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient d ij and laser‐induced damage threshold (LIDT) as well as the harsh synthetic conditions. Herein, we report facile hydrothermal synthesis of a polar NLO vanadate Cs 4 V 8 O 22 (CVO) featuring a quasi‐rigid honeycomb‐layered structure with [VO 4 ] and [VO 5 ] polyhedra aligned parallel. CVO possesses a wide IR‐transparent window, high LIDT, and congruent‐melting behavior. It has very strong phase‐matchable SHG intensities in metal vanadate family (12.0 × KDP @ 1064 nm and 2.2 × AGS @ 2100 nm). First‐principles calculations suggest that the exceptional SHG responses of CVO largely originate from virtual electronic transitions within [V 4 O 11 ] ∞ layer the excellent optical transmittance of CVO arises from the special characteristics of vibrational phonons resulting from the layered structure.

The linear optical properties and quadratic optical non-linearities of 7–9 have been measured, the latter by hyper-Rayleigh scattering at 1064 nm, and compared with data for the previously reported complexes Au(C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (10) and Au(C≡CC6H4-4-C≡CC6H4-4-NO2)(PPh3) (11). The optical absorption maximum red-shifts and the first hyperpolarizabilities increase on π-system lengthening and on introduction of electron-releasing substituents on the π-bridge ring adjacent to the metal centre.

Abstract: A combination of UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, femtosecond Z-scan measurements, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations have been used to comprehensively investigate the linear optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of pi-delocalizable metal-functionalized oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s. A range of unsymmetrically or symmetrically end-functionalized mono-, di-, tri-, penta-, hepta-, and nona(phenyleneethynylene)s were synthesized, with larger ex les bearing varying numbers of 2,5-di(hexyloxy)phenyl groups to ensure sufficient solubility of the metal complex derivatives. The effect of incorporating varying numbers of solubilizing substituents in the OPE bridge, peripheral group modification, OPE lengthening, coligand variation, and metal location in the OPE on the linear optical properties has been established, with the first three molecular modifications resulting in significant changes in the optical absorption maxima. TD-DFT calculations reveal that the most intense transition in the linear optical spectra is localized on the OPE bridge and involves excitation from acetylenic to cumulenic molecular orbitals that are not greatly spatially separated from one another. The nonlinear optical properties are dominated by two-photon absorption, which for all but 1,4-{trans-[RuCl(dppm)(2)]C[triple bond]C}(2)C(6)H(4) appears as a band around 11,400 cm(-1) and a sharp increase of nonlinear absorption at frequencies >17,000 cm(-1). Surprisingly, there is relatively little influence of the length of the OPE bridge on the magnitude of the two-photon absorption cross sections, which are in the range 300-1000 GM.

Abstract: Hyper-Rayleigh scattering is used to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of novel metal (ruthenium, nickel and gold) σ-arylacetylide complexes. The influence of the organometallic donor group and conjugating bridge on the quadratic hyperpolarizability is studied. For all organic ligands, the addition of the metal (donor) group is shown to increase the static hyperpolarizability by a factor of 2, 4 and 7 for gold, nickel and ruthenium complexes, respectively. Moreover, replacement of phenyl with a heterocyclic ring is demonstrated to enlarge the hyperpolarizability in the case of gold and ruthenium compounds.

Abstract: The design of efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals continues to pose significant challenges due to the difficulty of assembling polar NLO‐active modules in an optimal additive fashion. We report herein the first NLO‐active mercuric nitrates A 2 Hg(NO 3 ) 4 (A=(KHNO), Rb (RHNO)), for which assembly is induced by ionic polarization of the d 10 cations. The two new crystalline compounds are isostructural, featuring interesting pseudo‐diamond‐like structures with parallel [Hg(NO 3 ) 4 ] modules, and leading to strong powder second‐harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 9.2 (KHNO) and 8.8 (RHNO) times that of KH 2 PO 4 . In combination with the simple solution preparation of centimeter‐scale crystals, sufficient birefringence, and short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges, these attributes make KHNO and RHNO promising candidates for UV NLO materials. Theoretical calculations and single‐crystal structure analysis reveal that the newly‐developed highly condensed and distorted [Hg(NO 3 ) 4 ] module, with an Hg 2+ cation that is quadruply bidentate nitrate‐ligated, is crucial for the significant SHG responses. This work highlights the potential importance of modules with multiple bidentate ligands for the development of high‐performing next‐generation NLO materials.

Abstract: Deep‐ultraviolet (deep‐UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in creating tunable deep‐UV lasers for frequency conversion technology. However, practical application of the sole usable crystal, KBe 2 BO 3 F 2 , has been hindered by the high toxicity of beryllium and its layering tendency in crystal growth. Herein, we report a beryllium‐free deep‐UV NLO material NaSr 3 (OH)(B 9 O 16 )[B(OH) 4 ] (NSBOH), synthesized by a covalent bond modification strategy under hydrothermal conditions. Moisture‐stable NSBOH exhibits strong second‐harmonic generation (SHG) at 1064 nm (3.3 × KH 2 PO 4 ) and 532 nm (0.55 × β‐BaB 2 O 4 ), both amongst the largest powder SHG responses for a deep‐UV borate, with good phase‐matchability and a short wavelength cutoff edge (below 190 nm). NSBOH possesses a 3D covalent anionic [B 9 O 19 ] ∞ honeycomb‐like framework with no layering. The Sr 2+ and Na + ions, residing in the cavities of the anionic framework, act as templates for the assembly and favorable alignment of NLO‐active groups, resulting in an optimal balance between strong SHG activities and wide UV transparency. These merits indicate NSBOH is a very attractive candidate for deep‐UV NLO applications.

Abstract: The development of nonlinear optical (NLO) materials has been hindered by competing microstructure requirements: the need to simultaneously engineer a large hyperpolarizability (a large second‐harmonic generation (SHG)) and a wide HOMO–LUMO gap (a wide band gap). Herein, a non‐centrosymmetric transition‐metal (TM) oxyfluoride K 5 (NbOF 4 )(NbF 7 ) 2 (KNOF) with an extremely high F/O ratio is constructed in high yield. KNOF exhibits an extremely wide band gap (5.88 eV) and a strong powder SHG response (4.0×KH 2 PO 4 )—both being the largest values for TM‐centered oxyfluorides—as well as a birefringence sufficient for applications. The dominant roles of the partially fluorinated [NbO 2 F 4 ] and totally fluorinated [NbF 7 ] groups in achieving the enlarged band gap in KNOF have been clarified by first‐principles calculations. Our results suggest that maximizing the fluorine content of oxyfluorides may unlock the promise of short‐wavelength‐transparent materials with exceptional NLO performance.

Abstract: A facile method for the low-cost and large-scale production of silicon nanowires has been developed. Silicon powders were subjected to sequential metal plating and metal-assisted chemical etching, resulting in well-defined silicon nanowires. The morphology and structure of the silicon nanowires were investigated, revealing that single-crystal silicon nanowires with average diameters of 79 ± 35 nm and length more than 10 μm can be fabricated. The silicon nanowires show excellent third-order nonlinear optical properties, with a third-order susceptibility much larger than that of bulk silicon, porous silicon, and silicon nanocrystals embedded in SiO(2).

Reactions of MIr3(mu-CO)3(CO)8(eta-C5H5) (M = Mo, W) with [M(CO)3(eta-L)]- (L = C5HMe4, C5Me5) afford the core-expanded heteroapex clusters M2Ir3(mu3-H)(mu-CO)2(CO)9(eta-C5H5)(eta-L) (M = Mo, L = C5HMe4 (5c), 9%, L = C5Me5 (5d), 4% M = W, L = C5Me5 (6d), 5%) in low yield, together with the homoapex clusters M2Ir3(mu3-H)(mu-CO)2(CO)9(eta-L)2 (M = Mo, L = C5HMe4 (3c), 81%, L = C5Me5 (3d), 60% M = W, L = C5Me5 (4d), 5%) in much higher yield for the Mo-containing ex les. The identities of clusters 3c,d, 4d, and 5c,d have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, with the same disposition of ligands about the trigonal bipyramidal cluster cores being observed in each case, a ligand arrangement that has been examined by complementary density functional theory studies. While cluster 5d is accessible as above, no reaction is observed from MoIr3(mu-CO)3(CO)8(eta-C5Me5) and [M(CO)3(eta-C5H5)]-. Treating MoIr3(mu-CO)3(CO)8(eta-C5H5) with 1 equiv of [M(CO)3(eta-C5Me5)]- affords 5d as the major product, a further 1 equiv affording some MoIr3(mu-CO)3(CO)8(eta-C5Me5) and a third 1 equiv giving a good yield of 3d. This is consistent with reaction proceeding by apex fragment addition, followed by apex fragment elimination, and finally a further apex fragment addition, the homometallic incoming apexes being distinguished from the departing vertices by their highly methylated cyclopentadienyl ligands. Spectroscopic data suggest that the electron density at these disparate-metal-containing cluster cores is tunable by progressive (conceptual) cyclopentadienyl alkylation.

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus left-sided native valve infective endocarditis (LNVIE) has higher complication and mortality rates compared with endocarditis from other pathogens. Whether echocardiographic variables can predict prognosis in S aureus LNVIE is unknown. Consecutive patients with LNVIE, enrolled between January 2000 and September 2006, in the International Collaboration on Endocarditis were identified. Subjects without S aureus IE were matched to those with S aureus IE by the propensity of having S aureus . Survival differences were determined using log-rank significance tests. Independent echocardiographic predictors of mortality were identified using Cox-proportional hazards models that included inverse probability of treatment weighting and surgery as a time-dependent covariate. Of 727 subjects with LNVIE and 1-year follow-up, 202 had S aureus IE. One-year survival rates were significantly lower for patients with S aureus IE overall (57% S aureus IE versus 80% non- S aureus IE P .001) and in the propensity-matched cohort (59% S aureus IE versus 68% non- S aureus IE P .05). Intracardiac abscess (hazard ratio, 2.93 95% confidence interval, 1.52–5.40 P .001) and left ventricular ejection fraction % (odds ratio, 3.01 95% confidence interval, 1.35–6.04 P =0.004) were the only independent echocardiographic predictors of in-hospital mortality in S aureus LNVIE. Valve perforation (hazard ratio, 2.16 95% confidence interval, 1.21–3.68 P =0.006) and intracardiac abscess (hazard ratio, 2.25 95% confidence interval, 1.26–3.78 P =0.004) were the only independent predictors of 1-year mortality. S aureus is an independent predictor of 1-year mortality in subjects with LNVIE. In S aureus LNVIE, intracardiac abscess and left ventricular ejection fraction % independently predicted in-hospital mortality and intracardiac abscess and valve perforation independently predicted 1-year mortality.

Abstract: Large increases in molecular two-photon absorption, the onset of measurable molecular three-photon absorption, and record molecular four-photon absorption in organic π-delocalizable frameworks are achieved by incorporation of bis(diphosphine)ruthenium units with alkynyl linkages. The resultant ruthenium alkynyl-containing dendrimers exhibit strong multiphoton absorption activity through the biological and telecommunications windows in the near-infrared region. The ligated ruthenium units significantly enhance solubility and introduce fully reversible redox switchability to the optical properties. Increasing the ruthenium content leads to substantial increases in multiphoton absorption properties without any loss of optical transparency. This significant improvement in multiphoton absorption performance by incorporation of the organometallic units into the organic π-framework is maintained when the relevant parameters are scaled by molecular weights or number of delocalizable π-electrons. The four-photon absorption cross-section of the most metal-rich dendrimer is an order of magnitude greater than the previous record value.

Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of four new tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD) derivatives (1-3 and 2') incorporating 2- or 2,7-fluorenyl and diphenylamino moieties are reported. The electroactivity of 1-3 and 2' was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV), while the linear optical and (third-order) nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated by electronic spectroscopy and Z-scan studies, respectively. All experimental investigations were rationalized by DFT computations, providing an insight into the electronic structure of these derivatives and on their application potential. We show that these derivatives are nonluminescent in solution at ambient temperatures, but become fluorescent in solvent glasses. This finding constitutes an unprecedented observation for TCBD derivatives. Also, we show by Z-scan studies that these derivatives behave as two-photon absorbers in the near-IR range (800-1050 nm). These third-order NLO properties are discussed and compared with those of their alkynyl precursors (4-6), which have been investigated by two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF).

Abstract: Straightforward syntheses of bis[bis{1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane}ruthenium]-functionalized 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene-cored complexes via a methodology employing "steric control" permit facile formation of Y-shaped Sonogashira coupling products and distorted-H-shaped homo-coupled quadrupolar products. Cyclic voltammetric data from these products reveal two reversible metal alkynyl-localized oxidation processes for all complexes. The wavelengths of the linear optical absorption maxima are dominated by the nature of the peripheral alkynyl ligand rather than the substituent at the unique arm of the "Y" or at the quadrupolar complex "core". The quadratic optical nonlinearities of the Y-shaped complexes were assessed by the hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique at 800 nm and employing 100 fs light pulses introduction of donor NEt

Abstract: Multi‐photon absorption (MPA) has attracted interest for applications exploiting the tight spatial control of interaction volume and long wavelength excitation. However, a deficiency of molecules exhibiting higher‐order nPA ( n ‐photon absorption, n ) and a lack of structure–property studies to define the key structural characteristics needed to optimize higher‐order MPA performance have hindered practical development. We herein report the syntheses of second‐ and third‐generation metallodendrimers and assessment of their nonlinear absorption, together with those of zero‐ and first‐generation analogues. We report the first 5PA and 6PA data for an organometallic. The largest dendrimer exhibits exceptional three‐, four‐, five‐ and six‐photon absorption to femtosecond‐pulsed light. The systematically varied compounds highlight the crucial role of metal‐to‐oligo(phenyleneethynylene) charge transfer in promoting outstanding MPA activity.

Abstract: The linear (absorption and emission) and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of a series of D(3) [(Fe(II), Ru(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II)] octupolar metal complexes featuring the 4,4'-bis[(dibutylamino)styryl]-2,2'-bipyridine ligand are reported. Zinc(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes exhibit similar absorption spectra in the visible region (lambda(ILCT) = 474-476 nm) which are assigned to intraligand charge-transfer (ILCT) bands. The quadratic and cubic NLO properties are strongly influenced by the nature of the metallic center. Harmonic light scattering studies at lambda = 1.91 microm reveal that these chromophores display large first hyperpolarizabilities beta(1.91) in the range of (211-340) x 10(-30) esu replacing the Zn(II) metal ion by Ni(II) or Cu(II) results in a decrease of the static beta(0) coefficient by a factor of 1.5-1.6. Z-scan measurements at 765 and 965 nm reveal relatively large two-photon absorption cross-sections [650 < sigma(2) < 2200 GM], showing that both beta and sigma(2) values can be tuned by simple modification of the metal ion.

Abstract: Very large molecular two- and three-photon absorption cross-sections are achieved by appending ligated bis(diphosphine)ruthenium units to oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)-based "stars" with arms up to 7 phenyleneethynylene (PE) units in length. Extremely large three- and four-photon absorption cross-sections, through the telecommunications wavelengths range and beyond, are obtained for these complexes upon optimizing OPE length and the ruthenium-coordinated peripheral ligand. Multi-photon absorption (MPA) cross-sections are optimized with stars possessing arms 2 PE units in length. Peripheral ligand variation modifies MPA merit and, in particular, 4-nitrophenylethynyl ligand incorporation enhances maximal MPA values and "switches on" four-photon absorption (4PA) in these low molecular-weight complexes. The 4-nitrophenylethynyl-ligated 2PE-armed star possesses a maximal four-photon absorption cross-section of 1.8×10

The low-energy bands in the linear optical absorption spectra of all three sets of compounds are red-shifted and increase in intensity upon π-delocalizable ‘arm’ lengthening. The diphenylamino- and (NHC-iPr)gold-terminated compounds do not exhibit measurable second-harmonic generation as assessed by hyper-Rayleigh scattering at 1064 nm using nanosecond pulses. Computational studies have been employed to rationalize the optical properties of the new compounds. Calculations on 7–10 reveal that the lowest-energy transitions with large oscillator strengths are predominantly [Ph2NC6H4] (π) → [arms + core] (π*) in character, whereas calculations on 11–14 suggest that the low-energy transitions relate to the transfer of electron density from the Au-alkynyl core group to the terminal NHC groups.

Abstract: The synthesis of four new 1,3,5-triaryl-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trithione derivatives (thioisocyanurates) and two new partially thionated analogues from the corresponding 1,3,5-triaryl-1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-triones (isocyanurates) is reported, together with their spectroscopic properties. DFT calculations and comparison with the corresponding isocyanurates evidence the impact of the oxygen-for-sulfur replacement on the electronic structure and linear optical properties of these heterocycles. A bathochromic shift of the absorption bands and more efficient quenching of the fluorescence was observed.

Abstract: Permutational isomers of trigonal bipyramidal [W2RhIr2(CO)9(η(5)-C5H5)2(η(5)-C5HMe4)] result from competitive capping of either a W2Ir or a WIr2 face of the tetrahedral cluster [W2Ir2(CO)10(η(5)-C5 H5)2] from its reaction with [Rh(CO)2(η(5)-C5HMe4)]. The permutational isomers slowly interconvert in solution by a cluster metal vertex exchange that is proposed to proceed by Rh-Ir and Rh-W bond cleavage and reformation, and via the intermediacy of an edge-bridged tetrahedral transition state. The permutational isomers display differing chemical and physical properties: replacement of CO by PPh3 occurs at one permutational isomer only, while the isomers display distinct optical power limiting behavior.
