1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Excited triplet states are key to many optoelectronic applications due to their long lifetimes and unique spin properties. Triisopropylsilyl (TIPS)-acene derivatives are well-known for their rich triplet-mediated photochemistry. However, metal-functionalized acenes remain scarce, and the influence of metal coordination on triplet-state processes is largely unexplored. Here, we functionalize a TIPS-anthracene backbone with a diphenylphosphine group and report two gold(I) complexes: monomeric [Au(TIPS-AntP)Cl] and dimeric [Au(TIPS-AntP)2OTf]. The excited-state dynamics of the ligands and the complexes were investigated in solutions. Both Au(I) complexes exhibit nearly quantitative intersystem crossing, efficiently generating triplet excited states. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations corroborated the experimental absorption and emission results by providing insights into the energy gaps governing photophysical processes. The role of the Au(I) in triplet formation was investigated using femtosecond and nanosecond transition absorption spectroscopy. Alongside fluorescence emission, both the ligands and their complexes exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), with the Au(I) complexes displaying enhanced RTP intensity. The photoactive triplet states of the Au(I) complexes possess sufficiently long lifetimes to enable photoinduced electron transfer to appropriate electron acceptors. Overall, these findings establish Au(I)-coordinated TIPS acenes as a promising platform for triplet-mediated photochemical and optoelectronic applications.
