Abstract Natural and anthropogenic gas radionuclides such as radon, xenon, hydrogen krypton isotopes must be monitored to managed pathogenic agents, radioactive diagnostic agents or nuclear activity indicators. State-of-the-art detectors based on liquid scintillators suffer from laborious preparation limited solubility for gases, which affect the accuracy of measurements. The actual challenge is find solid scintillating materials simultaneously capable concentrating gases efficiently...
Abstract Fast photoluminescence and scintillation with a Stokes shift larger than 1 eV is achieved in hetero‐ligand metal–organic framework (MOF) crystals comprising inorganic linking nodes fluorescent conjugated ligands. By finely engineering the MOF composition use of ligands strictly complementary emission absorption properties highly delocalized molecular electronic orbitals, singlet excitons diffusion enhanced through ligand framework, fully exploiting both Förster Dexter energy...

Exposure of polymers to ionizing radiation and high-energy particle beams is involved in many processes – from food sterilization radiotherapy protocols. The resulting effects, at the final stages, determine functional, structural, morphological alteration material. However, responsible for cumulative chain scission, crosslinking, reactions with environment are often difficult disentangle as a sequence elementary events. Here we report spectroscopic study by attenuated-total reflection...
Abstract Engineering coordinated rotational motion in porous architectures enables the fabrication of molecular machines solids. A flexible two‐fold interpenetrated pillared Metal‐Organic Framework precisely organizes fast mobile elements such as bicyclopentane (BCP) (10 7 Hz regime at 85 K), two distinct pyridyl rotors and E ‐azo group involved pedal‐like motion. Reciprocal sliding sub‐networks, switched by chemical stimuli, modulated sizes channels finally overall dynamical machinery....
Rotors, motors and switches in the solid state find a favorable playground porous materials, especially frameworks, thanks to their large free volume, which allows for fast dynamics.We have realized molecular rotor Zn-MOF whose rotation speed approaches that of unhindered rotations organic moieties even at 2 K.[1,2] The three-fold bipyramidal symmetry rotator conflicting with four-fold strut frustrates formation stable conformations hyperfast persistent several continuous turns, an energy...

Natural radioactive gases and anthropogenic radionuclides such as radon, xenon, hydrogen krypton isotopes, need to be carefully monitored properly managed pathogenic agents, diagnostic agents or indicators of nuclear activity. State-of-the-art gas detectors based on liquid scintillators suffer from many drawbacks lengthy sample preparation procedures limited solubility gaseous radionuclides, which produces a detrimental effect measurement sensitivity. A potential breakthrough solution this...
