TL;DR: In this paper, the photophysical properties of nanocomposites of poly(3-hexylthiophene)−cadmium selenide (P3HT−CdSe) were synthesized by directly grafting vinyl-terminated P3HT onto [(4-bromophenyl)methyl]dioctylphosphine oxide (DOPO-Br)-functionalized CdSe QD surfaces via a mild palladium-catalyzed Heck coupling, thereby dispensing with the need for ligand exchange chemistry.

TL;DR: This work explores the sensitization of luminescent lanthanide Tb( 3+) and Eu(3+) cations by the electronic structure of zinc sulfide (ZnS) semiconductor nanoparticles by extending the studies from ZnS nanoparticles to other II-VI semiconductor materials.

TL;DR: The results show two decay components in the excited-state kinetics with time scales of 12-20 ps and approximately 100 ps in methanol and ethylene glycol, which indicates that curcumin undergoes ESIHT in these solvents.

TL;DR: A novel tool for deciphering the photophysical sensitization processes operating in [Eu2(Lk)(hfac)6], which suggests that the 1,4-difluorophenyl spacer in L4 is preferable, and a simple interpretation of the complete set of rate constants characterizing the energy migration mechanisms provides straightforward objective criteria for the selection of the most promising building block.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the sub-nanosecond dynamic solvation of ionic liquids in particular and ionic solutions in general is provided, based on the theory that solvation relaxation in ionic fluids, in the nonglassy and nonsupercooled regimes, can be understood rather simply in terms of the dielectric spectra of the solvent.
