The electronic vibrational damping rates of the CN and CO internal stretch modes on the (111) surfaces of Ag, Cu, Au, and Pt were calculated using density functional theory calculations. Our calculated damping rates are in excellent agreement with experimental data obtained from pump-probe laser spectroscopy. The striking difference in trends and magnitudes between the internal stretch modes of...

In monolayer group-VI transition metal dichalcogenides, charge carriers have spin and valley degrees of freedom, both associated with magnetic moments. On the other hand, the layer degree of freedom in multilayers is associated with electrical polarization. Here we show that transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers offer an unprecedented platform to realize a strong coupling between the spin, v...

Photoluminescence spectroscopy has been performed in situ during device operation and after switch-off on ionic transition metal complex (iTMC)-based sandwich-type light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs). It is demonstrated that the photoluminescence of the LECs decreases with increasing operating time. For operating times up to three hours the decline in photoluminescence is fully recovera...

A new triamino macrocycle shows Cu(II) templated self-sorting of a pseudorotaxane out of sixteen such possibilities from the mixture of nine components of a tridentate, four bidentate ligands and four transition metal ions.

The hydrothermal reactions of [A-alpha-SiW(9)O(34)](10-)/[A-alpha-PW(9)O(34)](9-) with NiCl(2) x 6H(2)O and amines yielded four unprecedented hybrid high-nuclear Ni-subsituted polyoxotungstates.

A series of ionic liquids containing different paramagnetic anions have been prepared and all show paramagnetic behavior with potential applications for magnetic and electrochromic switching as well as novel magnetic transport; also, the tetraalkylphosphonium-based ionic liquids reveal anomalous magnetic behavior.

Golden cage-doped nanoclusters have attracted great attention in the past decade due to their remarkable electronic, optical and catalytic properties. However, the structures of large golden cage doped with Mo and Tc are still not well known because of the challenges in global structural searches. Here, we report anionic and neutral golden cage doped with a transition metal atom MAu16 (M = Mo a...

The synthesis of a perfluorocyclopentene based diarylethene bearing two terpyridine units is reported. Furthermore studies of the free ligand's photochromism and investigations regarding the influence of various transition metal ions on the photochromic reaction are presented. The photochromism of the central diarylethene unit is strongly dependent on the transition metal present, vice versa th...

Polarized measurements of oriented single crystals can be used to simplify the interpretation of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra by permitting a direct determination of the symmetry properties of a particular transition. We have utilized this technique to study the XANES spectra for several first-row transition metal complexes. Applications to the weak, ls+3d transition, to...
