Summary: A film-form cyanido-bridged RbCuMo complex exhibiting photoreversible ferromagnetic behavior was prepared, with a structural change induced by light irradiation resulting in the transition between paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states. The flexibility of the RbCuMo structure, observed through THz-TDS, is considered to be the key to its photoreversibility, making it a promising material for optical memories and photoswitchable Faraday devices.

Summary: By incorporating chiral organic ligands into cyanido-bridged Fe-II-Nb-IV assemblies, chiral spin-crossover complexes with non-centrosymmetric structure and second harmonic generation capability were successfully synthesized. All complexes exhibit spin crossover between high-spin and low-spin Fe-II states without thermal hysteresis. Chiral complexes of R-FeNb and S-FeNb demonstrate second harmonic generation due to their non-centrosymmetric structure.

Summary: The investigation of photocatalytic systems at the nanoscale is crucial for understanding their fundamental principles, improving their design, and enhancing their applicability. A photochemical nanoscopy technique has been developed to detect the molecular products of plasmonic hot-carrier-driven photocatalytic reactions with nanometric precision. Applying this methodology to Au/TiO2 plasmonic photocatalysts, it was discovered that smaller and denser Au nanoparticle arrays have lower optical contribution but higher quantum efficiency in hot-hole-driven photocatalysis, which is closely related to population heterogeneity. This study also revealed the areas of oxidation and reduction product evolution in a single plasmonic nanodiode, demonstrating the bipolar behavior of such nanosystems. These findings enable quantitative investigations at the nanoscale to evaluate the photocatalytic reactivity of low-dimensional materials in various chemical reactions.

Summary: This study discovered two different types of mixed-valence tetranuclear cobalt complexes through the reaction of the multisite ligand H3L with Co(ClO4)2 center dot 6H2O in the presence of ancillary ligands NaPiv and NH4SCN. The first type of complex achieved connectivity for different numbers of CoIII and CoII ions through water-molecule-derived HO- plus O2- linkers and ligand-anion-based double phenolato bridges, while the second type achieved aggregation through terminal thiocyanate coordination. The structural distortions in these two types of aggregates lead to different magnitudes of easy-axis magnetic anisotropy and a small but non-negligible transverse component.

Summary: Two new hexacoordinated Co(II)-based single-ion magnets were synthesized and characterized. The complexes exhibited metal-centered coordination with nitrate anions and a 2,6-bis(1H-benzimidazole-2-yl)pyridine ligand with n-octyl or n-dodecyl chains. The presence of long aliphatic chains allowed for their solubility in low polarity and volatile solvents, enabling the preparation of microstructural layers and patterns on relevant substrates using wet lithographic techniques. The complexes displayed positive axial D parameters and showed field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization.

These complexes exhibit distorted pseudo-octahedral geometry for the Ni-II center and distorted bicapped square-antiprism geometry for the Ln(III) centers. The study highlights the mutual distortion of coordination geometry induced by the flexibility of the ligand backbone and the simultaneous binding of two different metal ions.

Summary: An efficient method for phosphate removal from wastewater is urgently needed due to the environmental issue caused by excessive phosphorus. In this study, calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-LDHs) and six amino acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-amino acid-LDHs) were prepared and compared for their phosphate adsorption performance. L-Aspartic acid intercalated calcium aluminum layered double hydroxides (CaAl-Asp-LDHs) exhibited the highest phosphate adsorption capacity and faster removal rate compared to CaAl-LDHs. The phosphate adsorption mechanism on CaAl-Asp-LDHs involved electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonds, complexation, and ion exchange. This environmentally friendly material shows promising potential for efficient phosphate removal from aquatic environments.

Summary: Studying the diffusion properties of hydrogen is important for designing new proton conductors. In the past, the chemical diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in proton conductors was usually obtained through a manual calculation method, resulting in difficulty in controlling the calculation accuracy. To address this issue, a mathematical algorithm and C language computer program were developed to calculate the chemical diffusion coefficient based on Fick's second law and Romberg numerical integral. The algorithm showed high precision and powerful computing function, and has the potential to replace the manual calculation method in calculating the chemical diffusion coefficient for hydrogen in proton conductors.
