Summary: A new interdigitated two-dimensional layered metal-organic framework with switchable framework flexibility and CO2 adsorption behavior was synthesized. The framework flexibility and CO2 adsorption behavior can be controlled by guest DMA molecules encapsulated in the solvent pores, allowing reversible expansion and contraction under CO2 conditions. The interlayer interactions in a fully contracted framework are significantly stronger than those in a partially contracted framework, showing no framework expansion under the same conditions.

Summary: A new nonporous coordination polymer, Ni-3(benzenehexathiolate) (Ni3BHT), with high electrical conductivity of over 500 S/m, has been reported in this study. When used as an electrode in nonaqueous electrolytes, Ni3BHT exhibits excellent specific capacitances through a mechanism of pseudocapacitive ion intercalation. This demonstration of pseudocapacitive ion intercalation in nonporous coordination polymers provides motivation for exploring this material family for high-energy pseudocapacitors.

Summary: A family of robust and stable molybdenum-based metal-organic cages have been obtained using the [Mo2O2(& mu;2-O)2]2+ secondary building unit. The cages are decorated with different pyridine derivatives, which enhance the structural stability and allow for the determination of the activated cage's structure through single-crystal diffraction. The chemical robustness of the cage is demonstrated by the post-synthetic modification that enables the exchange of pyridine derivatives without breaking the cage structure.

Summary: The bulk conductivity of 2D polymers (2DPs) can be enhanced by controlled n-doping. Optical and transient microwave spectroscopy measurements show that the n-doped 2DPs exhibit desired electronic properties. Density functional theory calculations reveal the main contribution to electronic conductivity in 2DPs. This study provides a new approach for synthesizing 2DPs with specific conductive properties.

Summary: This study experimentally and theoretically investigated the chiroptical properties of nickel(II) bis(dithiolene) anionic and neutral complexes based on the me-dddt and dm-dddt ligands. The results showed that the strong near-infrared absorption bands typical for such complexes are only weakly active in circular dichroism (CD), and were not observed in the experimental CD spectra. The number of stereogenic centers and the oxidation state of the complexes were found to significantly influence their chiroptical properties.

Summary: This study reveals the exceptional tailorability of iron(III) trimesate metal organic framework under bio-friendly conditions for the one-pot immobilization of biomolecules for biomedical applications. The framework is synthesized via a solvent-free mechanochemical approach in just 1 hour at room temperature. In contrast to solution-based methods, solvents are unnecessary for framework construction. The microstructure and thermal stability of the material are unaffected by pH, while the texture can be tuned by adjusting the base amount.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis and functionalization of diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole (DPP) derivatives containing chiral groups. Four bis([4]helicene)-DPP and bis([4]thiahelicene)-DPP dyes were prepared by condensation and N-alkylation reactions. Compound 12, with sec-phenylethyl groups attached to the nitrogen atoms, was obtained as enantiomers. The chiroptical properties of compound 12 indicate a strong chiral perturbation despite the stereodynamic nature of the flanking units.

Summary: The combination of chirality and magnetism has led to the research of electrical magnetochiral anisotropy (eMChA) and chirality-induced spin-selectivity (CISS). While there are similarities between these two effects, their symmetry properties differ. However, normalizing their magnitudes to current density and spin polarization suggests a common underlying mechanism.

Summary: Lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) with single-molecule magnet (SMM) properties are a growing family of materials where magnetic properties can be controlled by interrelated parameters, such as solvent, temperature, organic linkers, lanthanide ions, and coordination environment. This overview discusses synthetic methods for accessing MOFs/Ln-MOFs and controlling/fine-tuning their SMM behavior. It also explores challenging strategies for inducing SMM/SIM behavior, including redox activity and chirality, as well as intriguing physical phenomena such as the CISS effect and CPL.

Summary: In this work, the aggregation-enhanced emission (AEE) and circularly polarised light (CPL) emission of achiral and chiral DPPs appended with tetraarylethylene units have been studied. It was found that some chiral DPPs exhibited excellent emissive properties in the solid state by suppressing aggregation-caused quenching, while achiral DPPs showed classical ACQ behavior. Furthermore, the chiroptical properties of DPPs can be enhanced by introducing N-sec-phenethyl groups.

Summary: The construction of gel-based or xerogel-based materials using multiple components has gained attention in the field of chemistry. This strategy allows for the creation of gels with specific properties, particularly in the area of photo- and/or electroactive materials. This study focused on the design and characterization of a new C-3-symmetric derivative (C3NDI) grafted with electron poor naphthalene diimide (NDI) units, and its co-polymerization with a C-3-symmetric gelator (C(3)Pyr) to form alternate stacks. The resulting bi-component organogels were analyzed using various techniques, and the effects of solvent on gel behavior were observed. The study also demonstrated the use of confocal microscopy in studying co-assembly processes.
