The spontaneous formation and long-term surface stabilization of superoxide radicals are observed on specific TiO2 hybrid materials in which titanium is coordinated to an organic ligand. Here the rationale for this uncommon phenomenon investigated by a synergistic theoretical experimental approach involving density functional theory (DFT) calculations spectroscopic techniques. Stoichiometric re...

A series of heteroleptic titanium derivatives general formula [Ti(OiPr)2(R-acac)2] with acetylacetonate ligands modified in the internal (?- or 3-) position by different substituents (R=OAc, NO2, Me, Et, Cl, Br) has been synthesized and completely characterized liquid multinuclear NMR FTIR. The influence nature group on thermal stability complexes was studied thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) ga...

Optical properties of biphenyl difluoroboron β-diketonates were studied in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. Increased conjugation lowered the emission energy, decreased the singlet-triplet energy gap and yielded blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The properties of these biphenyl dyes may inform organic light emitting diode (OLED) and bioimaging agent design.
