Reversible On–Off Switching of Excitation-Wavelength-Dependent Emission of a Phosphorescent Soft Salt Based on Platinum(II) Complexes
Excitation-wavelength-dependent (Ex-De) emission materials show excellent potential in diverse advanced photonic areas. Of significant importance is the on-demand regulation of the Ex-De luminescence behavior of these materials, which is previously unprecedented. In this study, we report on a platinum(II) complex-based phosphorescent soft salt S1 ([Pt(tpp)(ed)]+[Pt(ftpp)(CN)2]− (where ttp = 2-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine, ed = ethane-1,2-diamine, and ftpp = 2-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyridine)) with Ex-De photoluminescence (PL) property. UV–visible absorption and PL spectra of S1 were recorded in DMSO–H2O mixture (1 × 10–3 M) with various H2O fractions to investigate its ground and excited states. Interestingly, the PL spectra of S1 powder show that its maximum emission peak is red-shifted from 595 to 644 nm upon excitation at different wavelengths from 360 to 520 nm, accompanied by an obvious emission color change from yellow-orange to red. Furthermore, confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy was employed to determine the PL property of self-assembled uniform S1 nanostructure, and the result shows that the Ex-De emission behavior is absent. On the basis of these results, we conclude the various Pt(II)···Pt(II) distances that exist are the major factor responsible for the properties of the Ex-De PL of S1 powder. Thus, for the first time, reversible on–off switching of Ex-De PL of S1 was achieved by manipulating its Pt(II)···Pt(II) distances through mechanical stress and vapor fuming. Finally, we demonstrate the high-level anticounterfeiting applications via on-demand multicolor displays.

Comparative efficacy of 12 non-drug interventions on non-specific chronic low back pain in nurses: A systematic review and network meta-analysis - PubMed
Low back exercise plus health education may be the best approach to reduce NSCLBP in nurses. Considering the heterogeneity, our findings need to be confirmed in future multicenter large sample RCTs in different countries.
History-indicated cerclage: the association between previous preterm history and cerclage outcome - PubMed
Comparison of HIC in one previous second-trimester pregnancy loss group with HIC in the 2 or more previous second-trimester pregnancy loss group found no difference in pregnancy outcome. This finding supports the amended ACOG guideline for HIC indications. Based on our results, we also propose devel …
Novel nanoformulation to mitigate co-effects of drugs of abuse and HIV-1 infection: towards the treatment of NeuroAIDS - PubMed
Drug abuse (e.g., methamphetamine-Meth or cocaine-Coc) is one of the major risk factors for becoming infected with HIV-1, and studies show that in combination, drug abuse and HIV-1 lead to significantly greater damage to CNS. To overcome these issues, we have developed a novel nanoformulation (NF) f …
