Efficient luminescence was realized by suppressing not only excited-state distortion but also C-H vibrational quenching in a Cu complex. Organic light-emitting diodes containing the Cu complex as an emitting dopant exhibited a maximum external quantum efficiency of 7.4%.
We investigated the proton dynamics of crystalline bisquaric acid (H 2 BSQ) in terms of the temperature and frequency dependence of its permittivity. It was found that the dielectric response of the H 2 BSQ crystal exhibited two-step changes. With raising temperature, the dielectric permittivity increased slightly at 40 K. Whereas the temperature dependence of the permittivity at this temperature showed a large isotope effect, there was no frequency dependence of the permittivity. However, the permittivity increased largely at 290 K and showed distinct frequency dependence, although there was no-isotope effect on its characteristic temperature dependence. It was concluded that such a dielectric response of the H 2 BSQ crystal was derived from the migration of protonic soliton coupled with the polarity inversion along the quasi-one-dimensional hydrogenbonded chain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
