A new 3-methylpyridyl pendant-arms Cu(II)-Zn(II) hetero-binuclear complex was synthesized by condensation reaction of 3,3′-((ethane-1,2-diylbis((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)azanediyl))bis(methylene))bis(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde) (H2 L) and propane diamine in the presence of metal ions. The structure was characterized by IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, ES-MS spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal structure reveals that the complex crystallizes in hexagonal, space group P63 / m, with a = 1. 982 18(17) nm, b = 1. 982 18(17) nm and c = 1. 839 4(2) nm. The coordination environment of Zn(II) and Cu(II) in complex can be described as approximately square pyramid, where the apical positions are occupied by acetate radical. Two metal centers are equivalently bridged by the phenolic oxygens and an acetate radical with the intermetallic separation of 0. 289 7 nm. The interaction between the complex and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was measured by cyclic voltammetry and viscosity studies, which shows a weak binding activity of 6.92 ×103 mol/L.

CsPbBr3-Cs4 PbBr6 perovskite composite nanocrystals (NCs) were successfully prepared by mechanochemistry method at room temperature, introducing trace amounts of methanol and oleylamine as ligands. The nanocrystals were tested by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), elemental content analysis (EDS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared with the samples without methanol, the luminescence intensity of the samples with 0.85 mL methanol increases by 58%, and the quantum yield (PLQY) increases from 11% to 55%. Moreover, the presence of Cs4 PbBr6 in the composite NCs improves the stability of the samples at room temperature. This experiment confirm that the introduction of methanol in the mechanochemistry preparation process could adjust the composition of the complex nanocrystals, thus significantly improving the luminescence intensity and stability of the products, which provides a new idea for the synthesis of luminescent nanocrystals at room temperature.
