“…The ligand 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethane ( bpe ) has been extensively employed and investigated in the synthesis of novel compounds. , Due to its ditopic nature and the high flexibility conferred by its −CH 2 –CH 2 – backbone, it has been utilized as a building block in conjunction with various metal centers (Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Fe(II), etc.) to achieve a wide range of coordination polymers (CPs) exhibiting distinct dimensionalities (1D, 2D, and 3D) , and properties. , Numerous investigations with these types of CPs have reported porosity (MOFs), magnetism, − and even luminescence depending on the chosen metal center. − The majority of CP syntheses have involved solvothermal methods conducted under elevated pressures and temperatures to facilitate crystallization processes, in situ redox reactions, and the formation of novel coordination environments. , While most research has focused on the structural attributes of these CPs, − a limited number of studies have explored their captivating properties, such as high quantum yield luminescence, exemplified by compound {[Cu 2 I 2 ( bpe ) 2 ]·Am} n , (Am = aniline, or p-toluidine). , Their remarkable optical properties suggest that CPs possessing similar characteristics could be of interest as downshifters, which are compounds capable of absorbing UV photons and converting them to visible light. Such downshifters could enhance the efficiency of commercial photovoltaic modules based on silicon solar cells .…”
