Summary: Through combined experiments and modeling, the first instance of a double paddle-wheel mechanism, leading to fast sodium ion conduction in the antiperovskite Na3-xO1-x(NH2)(x)(BH4), is shown. As the concentration of amide (NH2-) cluster anions is increased, large positive deviations in ionic conductivity above that predicted from a vacancy diffusion model are observed. Using various characterization techniques, the cluster anion rotational dynamics are found to influence cation mobility, resulting in significantly higher sodium ion conductivity at x = 1 compared to the vacancy mechanism alone.

Summary: The destruction of the ecological environment caused by human activity and modern industrial development has led to serious water pollution. Therefore, the exploration of high-efficiency absorbents has become a hot topic in solving this issue. In this study, a porous metal-organic framework was successfully constructed, which showed excellent sorption performance for methylene blue. The various influence factors, such as time, dye concentration, adsorbent dosage, and solution pH, were investigated. The adsorption process followed first-order kinetics and the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model, with the strong electrostatic force and intermolecular forces playing a significant role in the adsorption ability of methylene blue.

Summary: Designing solid electrolytes with high room temperature conductivity is crucial for the development of solid-state batteries. The paddle-wheel mechanism, which involves the interaction between cation mobility and anion dynamics, is a promising principle to enhance cation mobility in solid electrolytes. In this study, first-principles calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics were used to investigate the Na4SiSe4 solid electrolyte, which demonstrates high ionic conductivity, and thermodynamic and dynamic stability. The findings highlight the importance of exploiting anion rotation to invoke the paddle-wheel effect, especially at low temperatures.

Summary: A Cu(II)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu(muco)(3,5-DCP)](n) (1) with a square-grid two-dimensional (2D) structure and paddle-wheel [Cu-2(OOC)(4)] robust secondary building units (SBUs) was synthesized using linear rigid aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, trans,trans-muconic acid (H(2)muco), and 3,5-dichloropyridine (3,5-DCP) as an auxiliary ligand. The 3,5-DCP ligands are interdigitated through antiparallel pi … pi stacking interactions, forming a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular architecture. The MOF exhibits semiconducting properties and can function as a Schottky diode, as confirmed by conductivity measurements and impedance spectroscopy.

Summary: A novel NbO-type Fe-MOF, named [FeIIFeIII(BPTC)(DMSO)2]•Cl•DMA•DMSO] (SQNU-56, SQNU = Shangqiu Normal University), was successfully synthesized using a specific solvent ratio of DMA/DMSO/HBF4. Structural analysis shows that SQNU-56 is isostructural with the MOF-505, with except for the DMSO coordinated diiron paddle-wheel unit replacing the H2O coordinated dimeric copper paddle-wheel unit. Interestingly, the results of the magnetic investigation demonstrate that SQNU-56 is a promising candidate material for magnetic application.

Summary: A new Cu(II) paddle-wheel-like complex with 4-vinylbenzoate was synthesized and characterized by various analyses. X-ray crystal diffraction revealed the geometric structure of the complex, with copper ions bound to oxygen atoms from the 4-vinylbenzoate ligand. The complex remained structurally intact when exposed to humid air, but showed a gradual replacement of coordinated acetonitrile by water molecules. EPR spectra indicated the presence of monomeric and dimeric copper species, and magnetic studies suggested oxygen absorption capacity of the Cu(II)-vba complex.

Summary: Stacking faults in zeolites can modify their properties and impact their performance in catalysis and separation applications. A new kind of zeolite intergrowth involving pentasil layers can produce medium pore zeolite MFI, while intercalation of a topologically distinct second layer can result in the new extra-large pore IDM-1. Stacking disorder can be controlled by adjusting the concentration of the synthesis mixture.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have unique advantages as photothermal materials due to their structural diversity, face-to-face stacking, and open channels. However, their application in solar-driven water evaporation is limited by complicated framework design, tedious synthesis, and low solar-to-vapor efficiency. In this study, a materials design strategy was proposed to produce efficient and robust photothermal COFs by anchoring nonemissive radicals to the pore surface via a [2+2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization reaction. The resulting radical COF exhibited outstanding photothermal properties such as exceptional temperature increment, good photostability, and high solar-to-vapor efficiency.

Summary: By forming a binary CsHSO4-coordination polymer glass system, the superprotonic conductivity of CsHSO4 can be preserved below its transition temperature, resulting in significantly improved proton conductivity and processability compared to traditional CsHSO4. The method also enables the preparation of a thin-film proton conductor with low resistivity and high transparency. Solid-state NMR and X-ray pair distribution functions provide insights into the mechanism behind the preserved conductivity.

Summary: This work demonstrates that water can depolymerize polyhedra with labile metal-ligand bonds in a cobalt-based coordination network, resulting in nonstoichiometric glasses. The addition of water molecules promotes the breakage of network bonds and coordination number changes, thereby lowering melting and glass transition temperatures. These structural changes alter the physical and chemical properties of the glass, similar to the concept of modifiers in oxides. This approach can be extended to other transition metal-based coordination networks, enabling diversification of hybrid glass chemistry.

Summary: A transparent and grain boundary-free coordination polymer glass membrane immobilizing metalloporphyrins was studied as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for carbon dioxide reduction under visible-light irradiation. The photocatalytic activity of the membrane was proportional to its thickness, indicating that the metalloporphyrins in the subsurface of the membrane were photoexcited and contributed to the reactions. Transparent and grain boundary-free substrates are essential for efficient photoirradiation reactions without interference from light scattering and absorption.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.
