Summary: The solution behavior of complex [Rh(COD)(& mu;-OAc)](2) in dichloromethane has been investigated in the absence and presence of PPN+OAc- using multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The addition of PPN+OAc- results in the generation of [Rh(COD)(OAc)(2)](-) through equilibration. Rapid exchange between different Rh complexes and acetate ligands is observed at room temperature, but freezing the exchange at lower temperatures allows for the coalescence of certain NMR resonances.

Summary: The synthesis of heterobimetallic complexes utilizing organometallic [Cp*M] fragments on the diimine-dioximato platform has been successfully demonstrated. The coordination of Rh(III) and Ir(III) centers by the nascent dioximato site allows for the installation of [Cp*M] fragments into metallomacrocycles, resulting in subtle influences on the properties of each metal in close proximity. Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies confirm the moderate M'·M distances in the modular compounds, highlighting the potential for further exploration in this synthetic chemistry.

Summary: In this study, platinum(II) complexes with one cyclometalated phenylpyridine or benzo[h]quinoline (C^N) ligand and an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand were synthesized as robust and readily available sky-blue to green phosphorescent triplet emitters. These complexes served as a benchmark system to investigate the influence of different ligands on their emissive properties. The compounds were fully characterized by standard techniques and their solid-state structure was obtained. Photoluminescence measurements at room temperature revealed strong emissive behavior with quantum yields of up to 80%. Density functional theory calculations (PBE0/6-311G(d)) were used to rationalize the effect of electron-withdrawing and -donating groups on the photophysical properties.

Summary: As evidenced by spectroscopic techniques, the reaction of H2IrCl6·6H2O or Na2[IrCl6]·nH2O with DMSO results in the reduction of Ir(IV) and the formation of sodium hexachloridoiridate-(III) as a product. In addition, the formation of [IrCl5(Me2CO)](-) species is observed upon storage of H2IrCl6·6H2O in acetone solution. Further reaction of DMSO with H2IrCl6·6H2O in acetone solution results in the formation of a novel iridium-(IV) chloride-dimethylsulfoxide salt. Byproducts of this reaction include new polymorph modifications of known iridium(III) complexes.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.

Summary: The development of the textile industry has raised concerns due to the contamination of drinking water by organic dyes, which pose a carcinogenic risk to humans. Nanomaterials, particularly semiconductors, have been utilized for photocatalytic degradation of dye pollutants. Various parameters, such as catalyst dosage, irradiation time, light sources, initial dye concentration, temperature, and pH, play significant roles in the degradation process. Different generations of photocatalytic nanomaterials, including single metal nanoparticles, binary and ternary metal oxides, as well as inert solid substrates with photocatalysts, have been employed for dye degradation.

Summary: Nanozyme based sensors have been developed as an effective method for detecting harmful metal ions in water samples. In this study, a Co(II) based coordination polymer nanoparticle (Co-CP NP) was synthesized and utilized as a nanozyme to detect Fe(II) ions selectively. The Co-CP NP exhibited peroxido-reductase mimicking activity, and the detection limit for Fe(II) ions was found to be 0.66 μM. The catalytic action of the Co-CP NP was further analyzed using Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the detection mechanism was elucidated through XPS and zeta potential analysis.
