Switching on emission in Zn(ii) coordination complexes by tempering Namido character†
A series of four-coordinate zinc(II) complexes is presented in which the amido vs. imino character of a ligated nitrogen donor correlates to the luminescence intensity. DFT analysis points to a distinct mechanism for this trend wherein emission can be switched on by restricting non-radiative decay pathways through the resonance-induced delocalization of amido ligand lone-pairs.

Hui, whose parents immigrated to New York City from China in the ‘80s, started drinking bubble tea — little soft balls of tapioca known as “pearls,” “boba” or “bubbles,” usually served in a cup of milk tea — as a teen around 2005.
