TL;DR: This review summarizes the structure-property-function relationships of polymetallaynes of different transition metals, with a major focus on the effect of transition metals and the structural modification of ligands in activating their multifunctional properties.
Abstract: Insertion of transition metal elements into organic polymeric scaffolds enables a nice coupling of the intriguing physical traits of metal complexes such as electronic, optical and magnetic properties with the solution processability of carbon-based macromolecules. The propensity of these metal-based polymers towards exhibiting metal–metal interactions can also provide additional means for manipulating the structural order and electronic coupling in the molecules. Among these metallopolymers, rigid-rod transition metal σ-acetylide polymers, or polymetallaynes in short, are of much current interest. These organometallic polymers are important functional materials showing unique characteristics including electrical semiconductivity, photo-/electroluminescence, non-linear optical properties, liquid crystallinity, chemosensing capability and photovoltaic effect. Recently, there has been an impressive progress of functional polymetallaynes consisting of a variety of conjugated organic bridging moieties and transition metals. In this review, we summarize the structure–property–function relationships of polymetallaynes of different transition metals, with a major focus on the effect of transition metals and the structural modification of ligands in activating their multifunctional properties. Different emerging applications can thus be realized, for example, as the converters for both light/electricity signals, sensor protectors against intense laser beam and patternable precursors to magnetic metal alloy nanoparticles for data storage, etc.

TL;DR: A novel luminescent G-quadruplex-selective iridium(iii) complex was employed in a G- quadruplex -based detection assay for PTK7.
Abstract: A series of luminescent iridium(iii) complexes were synthesised and evaluated for their ability to act as luminescent G-quadruplex-selective probes. The iridium(iii) complex 9 [Ir(pbi)2(5,5-dmbpy)]PF6 (where pbi = 2-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole; 5,5-dmbpy = 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) exhibited high luminescence for G-quadruplex DNA compared to dsDNA and ssDNA, and was employed to construct a G-quadruplex-based assay for protein tyrosine kinase-7 (PTK7) in aqueous solution. PTK7 is an important biomarker for a range of leukemias and solid tumors. In the presence of PTK7, the specific binding of the sgc8 aptamer sequence triggers a structural transition and releases the G-quadruplex-forming sequence. The formation of the nascent G-quadruplex structure is then detected by the G-quadruplex-selective iridium(iii) complex with an enhanced luminescent response. Moreover, the application of the assay for detecting PTK7 in cellular debris and membrane protein extract was demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first G-quadruplex-based assay for PTK7.

TL;DR: Quantum interference between decay processes from two upper levels, which are coupled by the same vacuum modes to a lower level, have been investigated and its effects on the spontaneous emission spectrum have been studied.
Abstract: Quantum interference between decay processes from two upper levels, which are coupled by the same vacuum modes to a lower level, have been investigated and its effects on the spontaneous emission spectrum have been studied. The interference can result in spectral narrowing and a black dark line in the spectrum. The population in the upper levels is not a simple exponential decay due to the interference.
