Cadmium sulfur nanocrystals doped with the rare earth ion Tb3+ were synthesized using an easy aqueous method. Powder X-ray diffraction was used for the crystallography analysis of the nanocrystals. Results showed that cadmium sulfur: Tb3+ quantum dots had a cubic crystal structure. Effects of the pH of the original solution and Tb3+-dopant amount on luminescence properties of cadmium sulfur quantum dots were also systematically investigated. The luminescence properties of cadmium sulfur quantum dots were further improved using an appropriate Tb3+-dopant amount.

The roméite-group is part of the pyrochlore-supergroup and comprises cubic oxides of A2B2X6Y formula in which Sb5+ predominates in the B-site. The A and Y main occupants determine different minerals in the group and are important for the discovery of new mineral species. Two different roméite-group mineral samples were analysed by electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). The first sample is from Prabornaz Mine (locality of the original roméite), Saint Marcel, Valle d’Aosta, Italy, whereas the other one occurs in Kalugeri Hill, Babuna Valley, Jakupica Mountains, Nezilovo, Veles, Macedonia. Sample 1 was identified as fluorcalcioroméite, and sample 2 as hydroxycalcioroméite. Both samples belong to the cubic crystal system, space group Fd3¯m, Z = 8, where a = 10.2881(13) Å, V = 1088.9(4) Å3 for sample 1, and a = 10.2970(13) Å, V = 1091.8(4) Å3 for sample 2. The crystal structure refinements converged to (1) R1 = 0.016, wR2 = 0.042; and (2) R1 = 0.023, wR2 = 0.049. Bond-valence calculations validated the crystal structure refinements determining the correct valences at each crystallographic site. Discrepancies observed in the Sb5+ bond-valence calculations were solved with the use of the proper bond valence parameters. The resulting structural formulas are (Ca1.29Na0.55□0.11Pb0.05)Σ=2.00(Sb1.71Ti0.29)Σ=2.00[O5.73(OH)0.27]Σ=6.00[F0.77O0.21(OH)0.02]Σ=1.00 for sample 1, and (Ca1.30Ce0.51□0.19)Σ=2.00(Sb1.08Ti0.92)Σ=2.00O6.00[(OH)0.61O0.21F0.18]Σ=1.00 for sample 2. The Raman spectra of the samples exhibited the characteristic bands of roméite-group minerals, the most evident corresponding to the Sb-O stretching at around 510 cm−1.

AbstractA new zinc(II)-based coordination polymer {[Zn(5-fip)(tdbpy)]·(DMF)}n (1) {5-H2fip=5-fluoroisophthalic acid, tdbpy=4,4′-(2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)bispyridine, DMF=dimethylformamide} has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that complex 1 shows a unique two-dimensional network architecture containing single-stranded [Zn(5-fip)]n and double-stranded helical [Zn(tdbpy)]n chains. The thermal and luminescence properties of complex 1 have also been studied.

An iridium(III) complex, [(dpci-H)2Ir(dafo)](PF6) (dpci-H = deprotonated 3,4-diphenylcinnoline, dpci; dafo = 4,5-diazafluoren-9-one), was synthesized from the reaction of the iridium complex [Ir(dpci-H)2(Cl)]2 and dafo in methanol, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction along with FT-IR, UV/Vis, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy. The luminescence properties and the decay of the cyclometalated iridium(III) complex were also investigated. Excitation at the absorption wavelength (469 nm) resulted in a strong emission band centered at 591 nm with a lifetime of 0.9 μs.

Anthracene derivative compounds are currently investigated because of their unique physical properties (e.g. bright luminescence and emission tunability), which make them ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic devices. Intermolecular interactions are the basis of the tunability of the optical and electronic properties of these compounds, whose prediction and exploitation benefit from knowledge of the crystal structure and the packing architecture. Polymorphism can occur due to the weak intermolecular interactions, requiring detailed structural analysis to clarify the origin of observed material property modifications. Here, two silylethyne-substituted anthracene compounds are characterized by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction, identifying a new polymorph in the process. Additionally, laser confocal microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy confirm the results obtained by the X-ray diffraction characterization, i.e. shifting the substituents towards the external benzene rings of the anthracene unit favours π–π interactions, impacting on both the morphology and the microscopic optical properties of the crystals. The compounds with more isolated anthracene units feature shorter lifetime and emission spectra, more similar to those of isolated molecules. The crystallographic study, supported by the optical investigation, sheds light on the influence of non-covalent interactions on the crystal packing and luminescence properties of anthracene derivatives, providing a further step towards their efficient use as building blocks in active components of light sources and photonic networks.

This work presents Fe3O4 and AgFe nanoparticles with an average diameter of 25 and 15 nm synthesized by chemical reduction of corresponding salts under a mild condition. Cubic crystal structure and spherical shape of the nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction, Field emission SEM and energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis. For biomedical applications, the nanoparticles were tested against bacteria E.coli and results revealed AgFe nanoparticles’ antibacterial activity by forming lysis zone in scale of 0.5 mm.

Continuous epitaxial films of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) have been formed by the thermal oxidation of 1.5-μm-thick Cu metal films deposited on MgO(110) substrates. These films melted at 1118 °C in air, in agreement with equilibrium phase diagrams. Upon cooling from the liquid, a highly crystalline, epitaxial, 2.5-μm-thick Cu2O film was formed. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy revealed that the Cu2O film crystal structure was orthorhombically distorted from the bulk cubic crystal structure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed that the film is coherent, and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy showed that interdiffusion is limited to the interface. These results suggest that a new epitaxially stabilized phase of Cu2O has been formed.

A novel borate compound Ba3ScB9O18 has been synthesized by solid-state reaction and its structure has been determined and refined from powder X-ray diffraction data. This compound crystallizes in a hexagonal cell (space group P63/m) with lattice parameters a=7.1360(4) Å and c=16.5420(9) Å, and each unit cell contains two formulas. Its crystal structure is made up of planar B3O6 groups parallel to each other along the [001] direction, regular ScO6 octahedra, irregular BaO6 hexagons, and BaO9 polyhedra to form an analogue structure of Ba3YB9O18. DTA and TGA curves for Ba3ScB9O18 show that it is a chemically stable and congruent melting compound. Luminescence properties for Ba3ScB9O18 were investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray excited luminescence measurements. Its emission spectrum upon UV excitation (330 nm) has exhibited a prominent blue-green emission band at about 490 nm, and its XEL spectra show an intense emission band in the range of 360 to 500 nm with peak center at 400 nm. The light yield of Ba3ScB9O18 powders is about 23% as large as that of BGO powders under the same measurement conditions. There seems to be a certain relationship between the scintillation properties and the structural features of Ba3ScB9O18.
