Optical properties of composites formed by transition metal macrocyclic complexes intercalated in thiophosphate layered phases

First copper(ii) phase M′0.2Mn0.8PS3·0.25H2O and analogous M′ = CoII, NiII and ZnII materials obtained by microwave assisted synthesis

“…The shift in the energy gap of these bimetallic phases is correlated with the data given in the literature for the pristine phases. 5,[28][29][30] The band structure for several MPS 3 phases has been widely studied and a detailed description of the electronic structure responsible for the absorption edge is now available. [31][32][33][34] In conclusion, it has been assessed that the partially filled 3d orbitals could be responsible for the electron acceptor capability of the corresponding phase.…”

Structural and Chemical Modifications of Few-Layer Transition Metal Phosphorous Trisulfides by Electron Irradiation

“…They belong to the recently investigated antiferromagnetic 2D materials, − as the magnetism persists down to the few-layer limit, , suggesting that they can be testbeds for studying the fundamental aspects of 2D magnetism. , Moreover, the layered structure of TMPTs makes few-layer and bulk systems excellent candidates for intercalation by ions or molecules. Consequently, they are suitable materials also for energy storage. − In particular, due to the high binding energy of Li to their surface, applications of TMPTs as anode materials in Li-ion batteries have already been predicted. , …”

Magnetic properties of composites based on the intercalation of ZnII and CuII bimetallic macrocyclic complexes in the MnPS3 phase

“…This procedure enables the preparation of useful precursors such as K 0.4 Mn 0.8 PS 3 $H 2 O, which is a well-known phase used for further intercalation reactions of bulky guests such as macrocyclic complexes. 3,7,9,15,21 In addition, the K 0.4 Mn 0.8 PS 3 -$H 2 O phase exhibits spontaneous magnetization, which has been explained by ordered vacancies present along the lamellae. 22,23 It is due to this interesting magnetic phenomenon and the lability of the interlamellar potassium ions that the K 0.4 Mn 0.8 PS 3 $H 2 O phase has been widely studied and is still being utilized to obtain new composites.…”
