Summary: Using a ditopic organic linker, FICN-6, a metal-organic frame-work containing two types of secondary building units (SBUs), was synthesized. FICN-6 exhibits an unusual intercatenated structure with SBUs from two distinct networks connecting to each other. The presence of Cu3 clusters makes FICN-6 an effective heterogeneous catalyst for oxygen activation and aerobic oxidative C-C coupling of organic boronic acids.

Summary: Deuteration of hydrogen-bonded phase transition crystals can increase transition temperatures, but there are rare examples showing the opposite trend due to structural changes in hydrogen bonds. In this study, an organic crystal exhibited a reversible structural phase transition and dielectric switching, with the deuterated counterpart showing a downward shift in phase transition temperature due to a geometric H/D isotope effect.

Summary: Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a powerful technique used for distinguishing chiral enantiomers, and has been extended to solid-state samples. However, CD spectra of the same compound measured by different researchers may not be consistent due to sample preparation differences. This study explores the challenges associated with CD measurements and distinguishes between genuine and fake signals using various types of samples.

Summary: In this study, a series of hydrogen-bonded quasi-Dion-Jacobson (DJ) perovskite semiconductors, [(HOOCnH2n-2NH3)2]PbBr4 (n = 3-8), were used to establish a clearer relationship between structural distortions and optoelectronic properties. When the n ranges from 4 to 8, the compounds showed distinctive hydrogen-bonded diammonium layers containing dimerized COOH linkers and balanced photoluminescent and photodetection properties. A linear relationship between the bandgap (E(g)) and two structural parameters (D(int) and D(d)) was established, indicating the roles of interlayer distance and inorganic framework distortion. This research expands the understanding of the relationship between structures and optoelectronic properties.
