A series of Zn(II)-based metallo-supramolecular polymers were prepared by 1 : 1 complexation of Zn(ClO4)(2) and bis(terpyridine)s with electron-donating (alkoxy) or electron-withdrawing (cyano) groups at the 6-position of the peripheral pyridine moiety. The Zn(II)-based polymers displayed relatively high quantum yields (Phi(PL) = 0.68-0.76) in solution at room temperature. More importantly, they showed different luminescent colours of blue, cyan, and green in the film state, because of the large Stokes shift caused by the substituent effect of the ligand.

The polymerization process was controlled by adjusting the ligand/metal ratio and synthesis conditions. The coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium atoms were identified as the active sites for carbonyl reduction, and the Ru-MSPs exhibited enhanced activity and reusability compared to monomeric counterparts.

Synergistic Effect of Nickel and Cobalt in Nanowire Array for High Energy Storage with Rapid Charge Transfer in Asymmetric Supercapacitor

Ravi Ranjan Pandey, Yashvant Kashyap, Anshu Andola, Hideyuki Nakanishi, Rakesh K. Pandey

Summary: We have developed a unique asymmetric supercapacitor design by combining a vertically aligned Ni-Co alloy-type nanowire (NiCoNW) array electrode with a graphene flakes (GFs) electrode. This design allows the device to operate at a high working potential window of 2.0 V. The improved performance of the device is attributed to the asymmetric design and the high charge transfer in the NiCoNWs. The optimized presence of Co in the alloy enhances the rate of hydroxide formation during the gas evolution reaction. The use of GFs to modify the graphite electrode provides a more stable response at high current densities. We achieved a high capacitance of 339 F/cm(3) and observed remarkable cycling retention of approximately 100% after 10000 continuous potential cycles.

Self-assembly of graphene oxide flakes for smart and multifunctional coating with reversible formation of wrinkling patterns

Xinran Su, Rakesh K. Pandey, Junhao Ma, Wei Chun Lim, Chi Kit Ao, Changhui Liu, Hideyuki Nakanishi, Siowling Soh

Summary: This manuscript introduces a smart and multifunctional coating based on two-dimensional graphene oxide flakes. The coating can self-assemble and disassemble flexibly, and exhibits stimuli-responsive behavior. Upon contact with water, the coating expands and forms wrinkles, which disappear when the water evaporates. This stimuli-responsiveness can be controlled by temperature or pressure. The results demonstrate that simple 2D flakes can assemble into macroscopic materials with interactive and multifunctional operations.

Aryl selenonium vs. aryl sulfonium counterions in polyoxometalate chemistry: the impact of Se+ cationic centers on the photocatalytic reduction of dichromate

Mahender Singh, Aakash Yadav, Ranjit Singh, Chullikkattil P. Pradeep

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
