Pyrene‐Terminated Tin Sulfide Clusters: Optical Properties and Deposition on a Metal Surface

“…The high charge carrier mobility and excellent hole injection ability of the molecules have additionally led to applications in optoelectronic devices, [9] like light‐emitting diodes, organic field‐effect transistors, [10] or molecular switches and logic gates [11] . Some organic–inorganic hybrid compounds have also been synthesized, [12] with Sn‐based molecules for possible application as catalysts [13] or Fe‐based molecules for electrochemical applications, [14] and the attachment of pyrene ligands to surfaces has recently emerged as a means of tailoring optical properties of nanosized particles [15] or for the functionalization of planar surfaces [16]…”

Spectrophotometrical Study of the Physisorption of Iron(II) Clathrochelates Containing Terminal Phenanthrenyl Group(s) on Carbon Paper

“…Three different complexes of interest, namely FeBd 2 ((Phen(CH 2 ) 3 S)GmH)(BF) 2 , FeBd 2 ((Phen(CH 2 ) 3 S) 2 Gm)(BF) 2 (where Bd 2stands for α-benzildioxime dianion and Gm stands for glyoxime residue) and Fe((Phen(CH 2 ) 3 S) 2 Gm) 3 (Bn-C 4 H 9 ) 2 , were prepared as described elsewhere. [6,7] Carbon paper (CP) Sigracet GDL 39 BC (SGL Group) was used in adsorption experiments.…”

“…This can be achieved by either self-assembly (physisorption) or electrografting. In this communication, we report on the physisorption of three polyaromatic-terminated iron(II) cage complexes (clathrochelates), [5] specifically designed [6] for their effective adsorption on carbonaceous substrates, onto a carbon paper (CP) made of carbon fibers. This CP is used as a gas-diffusion layer (GDL) in fuel cell technology.…”

Removal of anionic and cationic dyes using porous copolymer networks made from a Sonogashira cross‐coupling reaction of diethynyl iron (II) clathrochelate with various arylamines

“…Metal clathrochelates were first reported 50 years ago as three‐dimensional octahedral organometallic complexes with an encapsulated central metal‐ion, 19–21 which subsequently prompted the synthesis of a myriad of clathrochelate derivatives because they offer several advantages, chiefly, a versatile synthesis from environmental‐friendly synthons, high chemical stability, and cost‐effectiveness 22–27 . Among these complexes, iron(II) clathrochelates were found to be prominent derivatives for applications, as biosensors, catalysts for hydrogen generation, materials for electronic transport, organogels, as well as building blocks to make supramolecular cages and metalorganic frameworks (MOFs) 21,22,27–31 . Moreover, the high chemical stability of iron(II) clathrochelate units end‐capped with arylboronate groups, allows their use in various cross‐coupling reactions to make functional polymers 24,25,32 .…”
