TL;DR: In this article, a series of simple phenothiazine-based dyes have been synthesized, in which a cyanoacrylate acceptor directly attached to the C(3) position of phenothia, and an additional linear electron-rich (4-hexyloxy)phenyl group at C(7) on the opposite side of the acceptor and an alkyl chain with different length at N(10) of the phenothiasine periphery are presented.

TL;DR: An expanded porphyrin [26]hexaphyrin (1.1.2.1) was exploited as a fluorescent chemodosimeter for Ag + ions with high sensitivity and selectivity via near-infrared luminescence above 900 nm, a region that is free from optical interference in the visible wavelength range induced by the commonly used matrix and other organic compounds.

TL;DR: The obtained isomer profiles of PBDEs from the two soil samples collected from different contamination sites were found to be similar to various technical formulations of fire retardant products.

TL;DR: NIR sensitization studies of [Zn(mu-L')Nd(NO3)3(H2O)n] (L' = L1-L4) complexes showed that Nd3+ sensitization took place via the 3LC and 1LC states when the spacer between the imine groups of the Schiff base ligand was an ethylene and a phenylene unit.

TL;DR: The reaction of the zinc(II) Schiff base complex ZnL [H2L=N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylene-1,2-diamine] with one equivalent of Ln(NO3)3·xH2O (Ln=Nd, Ho, Er or Yb) gives the neutral 3d-4f bi-metallic Schiff base complexes [ZnL].
