In the news

We recently presented the synthesis of the first reported chiral emissive Ag(I) complexes based on a benzothiazole-BINAP scaffold. These complexes can reach PLQY values as high as 50%, with ms-long lifetimes at room temperature.  10.1021/acs.inorgchem.6c01416 


We recently prepared and characterized a large family of chiral Re(I) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes that show circularly polarized luminescence and carried out an extensive theoretical study to better correlate their CPL emission to their structural, electronic and magnetic nature.

We recently studied a large series of (electro)luminescent binuclear biphenyl C^C Au(III) complexes which show anticancer activity and potential applications in the fabrication of light-emitting electrochemical cells.

We recently presented the synthesis of three new tetranuclear copper-iodide clusters with cubane-like {Cu4I4} motif that show very intense yellow solid state luminescence (up to 83% PLQY). 10.3390/sym15061210


We recently presented a family of novel triphenylphosphonium-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene Pt(II) complexes and demonstrated their cytotoxicity against human glioblastoma cell line U87 and human glioblastoma stem cell line NCH421K. 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123071


We recently studied a family of highly fluorescent bis-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine Zn(II) complexes with near-UV to green emission. Their remarkable behaviour was ascribed to an excited state with symmetry-broken charge transfer (1SBCT) character.  10.1002/cptc.202300092


We recently discovered a new family of highly photo- and electroluminescent D−π–A−π–D thiazolo-thiazole detivatives with external quantum efficiency up to 10% in tandem OLED devices.
