Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Luminescent Properties of Two Lanthanide Coordination Polymers Based on Bifunctional Ligand

Two lanthanide coordination polymers, [Eu（HL）（L）（H2O）2]n（1） and [Tb（H0.5L）2]n（2）, based on bifunctional 5-（1H-imidazol-1-yl） isophthalic acid（H2L）, are hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by both single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses, and FT-IR. In compound 1, the basic inorganic building unit of the coordination network is the dinuclear [Eu2（COO）6] cluster. Each [Eu2（COO）6] cluster connects four HL^- ligands and each HLligand links two [Eu2（COO）6] clusters, resulting in a 2D coordination layer. The adjacent 2 D layers are further connected via neighboring inter-layer hydrogen bonds to give a 3D supramolecular structure. In compound 2, the Tb^3＋ is coordinated to six oxygen atoms. Each Tb^3＋ ion connects six ligands and each ligand links three Tb^3＋ ions, leading to a 3D coordination polymeric network which exhibits remarkably high thermal stability up to 500℃. Furthermore, due to the successful incorporation of Tb^3＋, compound 2 displays characteristic luminescent emission in the solid state at room temperature. The combination of high thermal stability and fluorescent property of compound 2 would make it as a promising light-emitting material.

In addition,complex 1 is found to show photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature,which can be ascribed to the intraligand π→π＊ transitions.

Aggregation-induced Emission of Non-conjugated Poly(amido amine)s:Discovering,Luminescent Mechanism Understanding and Bioapplication

It is found that the fluorescence of aliphatic poly（amido amine）s including linear and hyperbranched ones can be dramatically enhanced by simple aggregation of polymer chains, attributing to the formation of a variety of intra- and interchain clusters with shared lone-pair electrons and the restriction of intramolecular motions. Thanks to the combination of strong solid fluorescence and excellent biocompatibility, these non-conjugated polymers become promising candidates for bioimaging such as bacterial detection. This finding not only extends the aggregation-induced emission（AIE） systems from conjugated compounds to non-conjugated materials, which expands the bioapplication range of AIE systems, but also sheds light on the exploration of novel unconventional luminogens.

A Luminescent Dicyanodistyrylbenzene-based Liquid Crystal Polymer Network for Photochemically Patterned Photonic Composite Film

A novel photonic composite film based on a luminescent dicyanodistyrylbenzene-based liquid crystal polymer network（LCN） was fabricated by using a silica colloidal crystal as a template. The upper part of inverse opal structure and the luminescence characteristics of dicyanodistyrylbenzene-based moiety endowed the resulting bilayer photonic film with structural color arising from coherent Bragg reflection and fluorescence properties, respectively. A fluorescence enhancement phenomenon was observed in the photonic film due to the overlap between the reflection band and emission band of the fluorescent LCN. More importantly, the photo-induced irreversible Z/E photoisomerization of dicyanodistyrylbenzene-based moiety in the photonic film led to both a reflection spectral shift and an observable fluorescence variation. On the basis of this effective phototuning process, microscopic patterning of photonic film was developed under both fluorescence mode and reflection mode. The work demonstrated here provides a new route to construct photo-responsive photonic film.

AIEgen containing side-chain liquid crystalline polymers: Photoluminecence or photothermal, which dominate?

Why many luminescent liquid crystalline polymers(LLCPs)containing aggregation-induced emission luminogen(AIEgen)show weak emission is a question still to be answered.Herein,a series of LLCPs(α-Pns,n=4,8,and 12)with polynorbornene as main chain and twoα-dicyanodistyrylbenzene(α-DCS)as side chain are successfully synthesized to solve this issue.Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),polarized light microscopy(PLM),one-dimentional(1D),two-dimentional(2D)middle-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering(MAXS and WAXS)results demonstrate that the polymers form smectic A(SmA)phase with the side chains interdigitated packed within the smectic layers.Meanwhile,the photophysical properties ofα-Pns were investigated by ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis)absorption,steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy,and photothermal effect.Results show that the polymers are AIE active,but emit weak emission.The emission peak ofα-Pns film red-shift from 473 to 531 nm,the quantum yield gradually increases from around 1.6%to 14.7%,and the photothermal conversion efficiency decreases from 39%to 19%with the alkyl tail length increased.The photothermal effect,but not photoluminescence,dominates the excited state relaxation.
