Selected AbstractsTetranuclear (Phosphane)(thiolato)gold(I) Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization and Photoluminescent Properties,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 25 2007Eduardo J. Fernández Abstract The reactions of the tetraphosphane donor ligand (Ph2PCH2)2NCH2CH2N(CH2PPh2)2 with the gold precursors [AuCl(tht)] or [Au(C6F5)(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) leads to complexes [Au4R4{(Ph2PCH2)2NCH2CH2N(CH2PPh2)2}] [R = Cl (1) or C6F5 (2)]. Further substitution of the chlorine atoms in 1 by the corresponding 4-substituted benzenethiolates gives rise to the tetranuclear (phosphane)(thiolato)gold(I) complexes [Au4(S-C6H4 -X)4{(Ph2PCH2)2NCH2CH2N(CH2PPh2)2}] [X = F (3), MeO (4), Me (5) and NO2 (6)]. Complexes 2 and 4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction studies showing Au···Au interactions in the case of complex 4. Complexes 3,6 display intense emissions in the solid state at 77 K with lifetimes in the microsecond range. The observed phosphorescent emissions are attributed to metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions. Nevertheless, the influence in the emission energies of gold,gold interactions or the contribution of the substituent in the 4-position of the benzenethiolate ring to the excited state cannot be neglected.

The structure, photoluminescence, time-resolved decay and chromaticity of the films are presented. ZnMgO films absorb light efficiently in the near UV (330,400 nm) and the emission covers a large part of the visible spectrum. Luminescence enhancement is maximum for 25% Mg. All ZnMgO films show luminescence lifetimes in the microsecond range while low Mg content (0,10%) films also exhibit fast decay (10,10 s). Measured colorimetric coordinates of (0.28, 0.32) when excited by 350 nm light make them suitable for generation of white light in conjunction with near UV LEDs. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Niehus Abstract We present an analytical model that combines the complementary experimental evidence of spatial dispersion (DAP recombination) and energetic dispersion (band tails). The model describes the competition between thermalization and recombination of excess carriers trapped in exponentially distributed (in energy), discrete localized (in space) states. We use the energy dependence of the relaxation rates to derive the energy and time dependence of sub gap photoluminescence. The model predicts that the yellow luminescence band (YLB) and blue luminescence band (BLB) commonly observed in GaN are not separate entities, but reflect the competition of thermalization and recombination. A distinct kink is observed in transient PL in the microsecond range, in the limiting cases of strong tailing and/or low temperatures, indicating the transition from thermalization-limited to (radiative) recombination-limited excess carrier relaxation. Both prediction are in line with experiment, and able to resolve interpretational difficulties. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

These data were analyzed together with recently measured carbon relaxation data (A. Krushelnitsky, D. Faizullin, and D. Reichert, Biopolymers, 2004, Vol. 73, pp. 1,15). The analysis of the whole set of data performed within the frame of the model-free approach led us to a conclusion about three types of the side-chain motion. The first motion consists of low amplitude rotations of dihedral angles of polylysine side chains on the nanosecond timescale. The second motion is cis,trans conformational transitions of the side chains with correlation times in the microsecond range for dry polylysine. The third motion is a diffusion of dilating defects described in (W. Nusser, R. Kimmich, and F. Winter, Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1988, Vol. 92, pp. 6808,6814). This diffusion causes almost no reorientation of chemical bonds but leads to a sliding motion of side chains with respect to each other in the nanosecond timescale. This work evidently demonstrates the advantages of the simultaneous quantitative analysis of data obtained from different experiments within the frame of the same mathematical formalism, providing for the detailed description of the nature and geometry of the internal molecular dynamics. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
