The CuI-derived inorganic−organic hybrid compounds are considered as promising phosphors for the lighting industry. Herein, exploiting N-monoalkylated hexaminium salts, [R-HMTA]X (R = Me, Et, Pr, and propargyl; X = Cl and I), as multibridging ligands, we have designed and synthesized a unique class of one-dimensional and two-dimensional hybrid CuImaterials. The reactions of these salts with CuI give rise to Allin-One (AIO) type compounds combining ionic and dative bonds between inorganic and organic components. The latter is formed by structurally unique inorganic [Cu x I y ] (y−x)− clusters, chains, or sheets interconnected through [R-HMTA] + cations via multiple Cu−N bonds. The so-designed compounds at ambient temperature exhibit tunable luminescence spanning from deep blue to red color (λ em = 430−625 nm) with microsecond lifetimes and the quantum efficiency of up to 78%. Remarkably, the AIO materials feature nontrivial excitation-(ED) and temperature-dependent (TD) luminescence, allowing their emission color to be finely adjusted from deep blue to red through changing the excitation wavelength and/or temperature. Based on the TD emission spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, a possible mechanism of the luminescence has been proposed. The very interesting luminescence characteristics coupled with good thermal and photostability render these AIO hybrid materials possible candidates for applications in energy-efficient lighting devices.

Thermally stable organic diradicals with at riplet ground state along with large singlet-triplet energy gap have significant potential for advanced technological applications.A series of phenylene-bridged diradicals with oxoverdazyla nd nitronyl nitroxide units were synthesized via ap alladiumcatalyzedc ross-coupling reaction of iodoverdazyls with an itronyl nitroxide-2-ide gold(I) complex with high yields.T he diradicals exhibit high stability and do not decompose in an inert atmosphere up to 180 8 8C. Fort he diradicals,b oth substantial AF (DE ST %À64 cm À1)a nd FM (DE ST ! 25 and 100 cm À1)intramolecular exchange interactions were observed. The sign of the exchange interaction is determined both by the bridging moiety (para-or meta-phenylene) and by the type of oxoverdazylb lock(C-linked or N-linked). Upon crystallization, diradicals with the triplet ground state form unique onedimensional exchange-coupled chains with strong intra-and weak inter-diradical ferromagnetic coupling.

Thermally resistant air-stable organic triradicals with a quartet ground state and a large energy gap between spin states are still unique compounds. Moreover, stable triradicals with bridging units of the ethylene-1,1-diyl type and ferromagnetic coupling are limited to the family of nitroxides. In this work, for the first time, we designed and prepared the triradical having a quartet ground state based on oxoverdazyl and nitronyl nitroxide radical fragments. The triradical and appropriate triplet diradical precursor were synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of diiodoverdazyl with nitronyl nitroxide-2-ide gold(I) complex. Both the di-and triradical are air-stable and possess good thermal stability with decomposition onset at ∼160 °C in an inert atmosphere. X-ray diffraction analysis of single crystals confirmed the presence of verdazyl and nitroxide radical centers. In the diradical, the verdazyl and nitronyl nitroxide centers showed fully reversible redox waves. In case of the triradical, the electrochemical processes occur practically at the same redox potentials but become quasi-reversible for the nitroxide moieties. Magnetic properties of the di-and triradical were characterized by a SQUID magnetometry of polycrystalline powders and by EPR spectroscopy in different matrices. Collected data analyzed using of the highlevel quantum chemical calculations confirmed that the di-and triradical have high-spin ground states. Unique high stability of prepared verdazyl-nitronylnitroxyl triradical opens new perspectives for further functionalization and design of high-spin systems with four or more spins.

The isobutylene carbocation (CH 3 ) 2 CCH + was obtained in amorphous and crystalline salts with the carborane anion CHB 11 Cl 11 − . The cation was characterized by X-ray crystallography and IR spectroscopy. Its crystal structure shows a relatively uniform ionic interaction of the cation with the surrounding anions, with a slightly shortened distance between the C atom of the CH group and the Cl atom of the anion, pointing to a higher positive charge on this group. In the amorphous phase, the asymmetric interaction of the cation with the anion increases, approaching ion pairing. This gives rise to a strong hyperconjugation between the two CH 3 groups and the 2p z orbital of the central carbon sp 2 atom (the red shift of the CH stretch is 150 cm −1 ); this effect stabilizes the cation. Over time, as the structure of the amorphous phase becomes more ordered, the hyperconjugation weakens and disappears in the crystalline phase with the disappearance of ion pairing. The carbocation stabilization in the crystalline phase is achieved due to the transfer of a portion of the charge to the neighboring anions, whereas the charge on the CC bond becomes the strongest: the CC stretch frequency drops to ∼160 cm −1 relative to neutral isobutylene. The collected IR spectra for the optimized cation under vacuum (in the 6-311G ++ (d, p) basis for all HF, MP2, and DFT calculations) predict that a positive charge on the CC bond increases its stretching frequency; this computational result contradicts the experimental data, perhaps because it does not take into account the significant impact of the environment.
