Summary: Nickel-based superconductors provide an experimental platform for exploring cuprate-like superconductivity. However, superconductivity in nickelates has only been observed in thin films, which raises questions about the polar interface between substrate and film. In this study, the authors investigate the interface between Nd1-xSrxNiO2 and SrTiO3 using advanced characterization techniques and theoretical calculations, revealing the formation of a single intermediate Nd(Ti,Ni)O-3 layer and its role in reducing interface charge density. Understanding the complex interface structure is important for the future synthesis of nickelate films on other substrates and in vertical heterostructures.

Summary: Organic polycarboxylates are important building units in supramolecular chemistry for constructing coordination and hydrogen-bonded frameworks. This review focuses on multifunctional metal-organic carboxylates (MOCs) with multiple noncoordinating carboxylate groups, which can be used as pre-prepared metalloligands for constructing metal-organic frameworks. The stability and diverse structures of MOCs make them promising candidates for various applications.

Summary: Engineering design of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) for gas separation applications is a thriving field of investigation. We conducted a systematic theoretical study on derivatives of the closo-dodecaborate anion [B12H12](2-), which can serve as building blocks for MOFs, based on recent experimental studies. Amino functionalization was found to enhance the ability of selectively capturing carbon dioxide from its mixtures with other gases by inducing a polarization effect that favors localization of negative charges on the boron-cluster anion and provides a nucleophilic anchoring site for the carbon atom in carbon dioxide. This work suggests polar functionalization as an appealing strategy to optimize molecule discrimination ability through preferential adsorption.

Summary: This research reports the fourth polymorph of KMoO3(IO3), i.e., delta-KMoO3(IO3), to investigate the influence of different packing patterns of basic building units on the structures and properties. The study shows that the polarization of delta-KMoO3(IO3) mainly comes from IO3 units. Further measurements reveal that delta-KMoO3(IO3) exhibits a large second-harmonic generation response, a wide band gap, and a broad mid-infrared transparency region, indicating the effective approach of adjusting the arrangement of ?-shaped basic building units in rational design of NLO crystals.

Summary: In this study, a series of controlled alkali-etched MOF-808-X with hydroxyl groups on the zirconium clusters were developed. These MOF-808-X showed improved low-concentration CO2 capture performance compared to the pristine MOF-808. Among them, MOF-808-0.07 exhibited the highest CO2 capture capacity under dry conditions and demonstrated fast adsorption kinetics, stable capture under humid air conditions, and stable regeneration.

Summary: This study demonstrates the significant impact of different multinuclear secondary building units (SBUs) on the output of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in Cd-based coordination polymers (CPs) used as frictional electrode materials. The results show that the multinuclear Cd-SBUs have varying contributions to the output of CPs-based TENGs.

Summary: The diversity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) structures depends on the rational design of building units, but unexpected structures can arise from subtle changes in the rigidity/length of organic linkers or synthetic conditions. Research has found that in uranium-based MOF structures, variations in the length of the linker can cause a slight distortion of the topology from an ideal trigonal prism geometry to an octahedral geometry.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic screening of MOFs by varying the number of Lewis basic sites and found that UiO-67@N showed a highly selective and sensitive response to Fe3+ ions. In addition, UiO-67 and UiO-67@NN were found to be quenched by several metal ions.

Summary: The coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallicity in LiOsO3 is a surprising phenomenon, where the novel technique of XUV-SHG reveals sensitivity to the broken inversion symmetry in the polar metal phase. This opens up possibilities for studying symmetry-breaking structural phase transitions with element specificity on femtosecond time scales.

Summary: Using adenine and metal ions to construct secondary building units, further connected by a highly symmetrical multicarboxylic linker, two stable amino-modified porous frameworks with high porosity and stability have been successfully synthesized. These frameworks exhibit high selectivity and capacity for adsorption and separation functions.

Summary: This study proposes a strategy to significantly enhance the photoluminescence quantum yield of Sb-based metal halides by synthesizing two organic-inorganic hybrid compounds. The emission of singlet self-trapped excitons is found to be closely related to the distance between [SbCl5]2- units and local unit distortion in the lattice.

Summary: In contrast to conventional charge density wave (CDW) materials, the one-dimensional CDW on the In/Si(111) surface quickly dampens during the photoinduced phase transition. By using real-time time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT) simulations, we successfully reproduced the experimental observation of the photoinduced CDW transition on the In/Si(111) surface. Our findings show that photoexcitation leads to the generation of interatomic forces, causing a structural transition through the shortening of long In-In bonds. After the transition, a switch in the In-In bonds leads to a rotation of interatomic forces, rapidly damping the oscillations in CDW modes.
