Photochromism and photocatalysis of organic–inorganic hybrid iodoargentates modulated by argentophilic interactions

Abstract

Four organic-inorganic hybrid iodoargentates, [MDMBI]2[Ag2I4] (1), [HDMBI]4[Ag4I8] (2), [MBI][Ag2I3] (3), and [MDMBI][Ag2I3] (4) (MBI+ = N,N-dimethylbenzimidazolium, MDMBI + = N,N-dimethyl-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolium, HDMBI+ = N-proton-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolium), have been synthesized by combination of benzimidazolium...

Lattice solvent controlled photochromism of tripyridyl-triazine-based zinc bromide complexes

“…Notably, numerous representative results have been achieved in the development of modulating the matching rule of electron donating-accepting capabilities. In particular, a basic agreement on the matching rule of the electron donating-accepting ability, namely "strong-strong matching" [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] and "weak-weak matching", [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] has been reached by our and other groups. However, the rational design and generation of the photochromic systems based on interfacial contacts of electron donors/ acceptors is still in its infancy, which should be paramount to understand the PIET process, especially for improving the efficiency of PIET.…”

Inserting protonated phenanthroline derivatives into the interchain voids of anionic halometallate units to generate hybrid materials with tunable photochromic performance

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] The combination of inorganic anionic halometallate units and protonated organoamine moieties generates a series of functionalized hybrid halometallates. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Among the various hybrid halometallate materials, hybrid perovskites, particularly those with the general chemical formula [A]PbX 3 (A = protonated amine, X = Cl, Br, I), have been extensively investigated by researchers in numerous devices such as solar cells, ferroelectric memories, and optoelectronic detectors. [13][14][15][16][17][18] The various categories of organoamine, together with the rich coordination mode of halogen ions greatly accelerate the development of hybrid halometallate materials with assorted functionality.…”

Decorating Metal Nitrate with a Coplanar Bipyridine Moiety: A Simple and General Method for Fabricating Photochromic Complexes

“…Hybrid photochromic materials (HPMs) have gained tremendous attention of researchers for their potential applications in various areas and possibilities for generating other photoresponsive functionality [1–9] . The crystalline HPMs (CHPMs) feature intrinsic advantages in elucidating the structure‐dependent photoswitchable properties, which has received sustained interest of researchers and been broadly investigated [10] .…”

“…The crystalline HPMs (CHPMs) feature intrinsic advantages in elucidating the structure‐dependent photoswitchable properties, which has received sustained interest of researchers and been broadly investigated [10] . Although representative results have been obtained during the development of CHPMs, [2–15] the fabrication of CHPMs with tailor‐made photoresponsive performance is still a challenge to chemists.…”
