We report the synthesis of Ru(II) and Os(II) trans hydrido-hydroxo complexes by reacting the unsaturated amido complexes MH(NHCMe2CMe2NH2)(PPh3)2 (M = Ru, Os) with stoichiometric amounts of water. Proton exchange is rapid at room temperature between the amine/water/hydroxide moieties which ...

The rigid [Cu(dmp)(phanephos)]+ complex displays high luminescence quantum yield of 80 % at ambient temperature. In contrast to the long-lived phosphorescence of 240 μs below T < 120 K with a radiative rate of kr = 3•103 s-1, the ambient-temperature emission represents a thermally activated ...

It is now well established that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymers can deviate substantially from the bulk with nanoscale confinement. Understanding the impact of confinement on the Tg of polymers is important but it does not provide information about the temperature dependence ...
