New papers about TADF emitters!

Here you can find a nice work dealing with the effect of imidazole p-extension on the ECL performance of TADF emitters. It is the second step of a research that began with the publication of imidazole-based TADF which can be found in this section of the site.

The second one is focused on the tune of the electrochemiluminescence of TADF luminophores manipulating efficiency and unveiling water-soluble emitters. Read it!

Two EurJICs are better than one!

This month, two new papers from our group have been published in the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry. Both articles examine the novel category of Pd-butadienyl complexes as promising antitumor agents. Specifically, the first paper reports the synthesis of complexes bearing picoly-NHC and phosphine ligands (here), while the second article focuses on heterobimetallic Fe/Pd complexes containing butadienyl fragments with different halides as terminal groups (here). This second story was developed in collaboration with Gasser Group (ChimieParisTech, Paris).
