Huang HS, Chen YH, Chien WT, Yeh MY. Quaternary phosphonium AIEgens nanoparticles as innovative agents for developing latent fingerprints. Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1320:343032. [PMID: 39142795 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.343032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
Quaternary phosphonium salts, a significant category of organophosphorus compounds, have garnered substantial attention from chemists due to their wide range of applications across various research areas. These compounds are utilized in organic synthesis, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, natural materials, and coordination chemistry. Their versatility and effectiveness in these fields make them valuable tools in scientific research. Despite their extensive use in various applications, the potential of quaternary phosphonium compounds as fluorescent agents for revealing latent fingerprints (LFPs) remains largely unexplored, presenting an exciting opportunity for further research and development in forensic science. In this study, we designed molecules that combine the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) chromophore with triphenylphosphine to create a series of novel AIE amphiphiles, namely TPP1, TPP2, and TPP3. Through precise adjustment of the carbon chain length between the phenoxy group and the terminal triphenylphosphine, we were able to finely tune the nanostructures and hydrophobicity of the materials. TPP3 emerged as the optimal candidate, possessing the ideal particle size and hydrophobicity to effectively bind to LFPs, thus enabling efficient fingerprint visualization with enhanced fluorescence upon aggregation. Our findings introduce an innovative approach to fingerprint visualization, offering high selectivity, superior imaging of level 3 structures, and long-term effectiveness (up to 30 days). Additionally, TPP3's outstanding performance in imaging level 3 structures of LFPs is beneficial for analyzing incomplete LFPs and identifying individuals. By significantly improving the detection and analysis of LFPs, this approach ensures more accurate and reliable identification, making it invaluable for forensic investigations and security measures. The adaptability of these compounds to various fingerprint surfaces highlights their potential in diverse practical applications, enhancing their utility in both forensic science and security fields. This versatility allows for precise fingerprint visualization across different scenarios, making them a critical tool for advancing biometric and security technologies.

Abstract
Self-assembly of platinum(II) complex foldamers is an essential approach to fabricate advanced luminescent materials. However, a comprehensive understanding of folding kinetics and their absorption spectra remains elusive. By constructing Markov state models (MSMs) from large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we reveal that two largely similar dinuclear alknylplatinum(II) terpyridine foldamers, Pt-PEG and Pt-PE with slightly different bridges, exhibit distinctive folding kinetics. Particularly, Pt-PEG bears bridge-dominant, plane-dominant, and cooperative pathways, while Pt-PE only prefers the plane-dominant pathway. Such preference originates from their difference in intrabridge electrostatic interactions, leading to contrastive distributions of metastable states. We also found that the bridge-dominant pathway for Pt-PEG becomes more favorable when lowering the temperature. Interestingly, based on the comprehensive conformation ensembles from our MSMs, we reveal the conformation-dependent absorption spectra of Pt-PEG and Pt-PE. Our theoretical spectra not only align with experimental results but also reveal the contributions of diverse conformations to the overall absorption bands explicitly, facilitating the rational design of stimuli-responsive smart luminescent molecules.

Abstract
In this article, we report on a series of cyclometalated chloro- and alkynyl-platinum(II) complexes bearing various tridentate N^C^N-cyclometalated ligands derived from 1,3-bis(pyrimidin-2-yl)benzene. The X-ray crystal structures of two alkynyl-platinum(II) complexes were determined and other structures were DFT-calculated. Electrochemical and DFT-computational studies suggest a ligand-centred reduction on the R1-substituted N^C^N ligand, whereas oxidation likely occurs either on the Pt-phenylacetylide moiety and/or the cyclometalated ligand. In CH2Cl2 solution at room temperature, the complexes show phosphorescent emissions ranging from green to orange, depending on the R1 and R2 substituents on the ligands. In KBr solid state matrix, excluding complexes bearing a trifluoromethyl substituted ligand, all compounds exhibit red emission. The presence of an alkynyl ancillary ligand has limited influence on absorption and emission spectra except in the case of the complex with the strongly electron-donating diphenylamino R2 substituent on the alkynyl ligand, for which a significant red-shift was observed. The alkynyl Pt(II) complex with OMe groups as both R1 and R2 substituents shows the best emission quantum yield (0.81 in CH2Cl2 solution) in this series. The full series of DFT calculated band gaps correlated generally well with the electrochemical and absorption data and reasonably model the impact of the substituents on the electronics of these complexes.

Abstract
The cis- and trans-dirhodium(II,II) complexes cis-[Rh2(μ-DTolF)2(μ-np)(MeCN)4][BF4]2 (1; DTolF = N,N'-di-p-tolylformamidinate and np = 1,8-naphthyridine), cis- and trans-[Rh2(μ-DTolF)2(μ-qxnp)(MeCN)3][BF4]2 [2 and 3, respectively, where qxnp = 2-(1,8-naphthyridin-2-yl)quinoxaline], and trans-[Rh2(μ-DTolF)2(μ-qxnp)2][BF4]2 (4) were synthesized and characterized. A new synthetic methodology was developed that consists of the sequential addition of π-accepting axially blocking ligands to favor formation of the first example of a bis-substituted formamidinate-bearing trans product. Isolation of the intermediates 2 and 3 provides insight into the mechanistic requirements for obtaining 4 and the cis analogue, cis-[Rh2(μ-DTolF)2(μ-qxnp)2][BF4]2 (5). Density functional theory calculations provide support for the synthetic mechanism and proposed intermediates. The metal/ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (ML-LCT) absorption maximum of the trans complex 4 at 832 nm is red-shifted by 1173 cm-1 and exhibits shorter lifetimes of the 1ML-LCT and 3ML-LCT excited states, 3 ps and 0.40 ns, respectively, compared to those of the cis analogue 5. The shorter excited-state lifetimes of 4 are attributed to the longer Rh-Rh bond of 2.4942(8) Å relative to that in 5, 2.4498(2) Å. A longer metal-metal bond reflects a decreased overlap of the Rh atoms, which leads to more accessible metal-centered excited states for radiationless deactivation. The 3ML-LCT excited states of 4 and 5 undergo reversible bimolecular charge transfer with the electron donor p-phenylenediamine when irradiated with low-energy light. These results indicate that trans isomers are a source of unexplored tunability for potential p-type semiconductor applications and, given their distinct geometric arrangement, constitute useful building blocks for supramolecular architectures with potentially interesting photophysical properties.

Abstract
In this paper, the generalized Kohn-Sham energy decomposition analysis (GKS-EDA) scheme is extended to molecular interactions in open shell singlet states, which is a challenge for many popular EDA methods due to the multireference character. Based on broken symmetry (BS) unrestricted density functional theory with a spin projection approximation, the extension scheme, named GKS-EDA(BS) in this paper, divides the total interaction energy into electrostatic, exchange-repulsion, polarization, correlation, and dispersion terms. Test examples include the pancake bond in the phenalenyl dimer, the ligand interactions in the Fe(ii)-porphyrin complexes, and the radical interactions in dehydrogenated guanine-cytosine base pairs and show that GKS-EDA(BS) is a practical EDA tool for open shell singlet systems.
