Si/B exchange, skeletal rearrangement, and electrophilic borylation reactions convert an azasilaanthracene into a B3,N3-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, for which theory predicts potential as a thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter.

Revisiting the role of octahedral symmetry in the interpretation of spectroscopic properties of [OsF6]2− and PtF6 complexes
The electronic structure of [OsF6]2− and PtF6 complexes was studied by means of CASSCF/NEVPT2 multiconfigurational calculations, including spin–orbital coupling, which is very relevant in the case of these metals.

Synthesis of highly luminescent core–shell nanoprobes in a single pot for ofloxacin detection in blood serum and water
Carbon-doped silica shell-encapsulated iron oxide nanoparticles (CSIONPs) can detect ofloxacin (OLF) in tap water or blood serum. Upon excitation at 350 nm, CSIONPs exhibit optical properties leading to emission at 432 nm which is quenched upon the introduction of OLF.

Orthopalladated imidazolones and thiazolones: synthesis, photophysical properties and photochemical reactivity
The incorporation of Pd into the molecular framework of 4-arylidene-imidazolones or thiazolones generates platforms with remarkable photophysical and photochemical properties. Quantum yields of up to 15% and a clear photoreactivity have been achieved.
