Photoluminescence: Design and Integration in Electro‐Optic Devices of Highly Efficient and Robust Red‐NIR Phosphorescent Nematic Hybrid Liquid Crystals Containing [Mo6I8(OCOCnF2n+1)6]2− (n = 1, 2, 3) Nanoclusters (Adv. Funct. Mater. 31/2015)

Abstract

As shown by L. Dupont, Y. Molard, and co-workers on page 4966, the functionalization of [Mo6I8(CnF2n+1COO)6]2− (n = 1, 2, 3) red–near-infrared phosphorescent nanocluster units with specific organic cations leads to a nematic liquid crystalline material that can be homogeneously mixed with E7 commercial liquid crystal. Integration in electro-controlled devices modulates the cluster photoluminescence intensity, demonstrating the potential of these hybrid materials for photonic or optoelectronic applications.
