Summary: Efficient and economical synthesis methods for CON-type aluminoborosilicate zeolite are in high demand. A dual use of organic structure-directing agents with different roles in the formation of CON-type zeolite is proposed. The intermediate addition method of tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) can control competitive structure-directing effects and enhance the crystallization of CON-type zeolite, while N,N,N-trimethyl-(-)-cis-myrtanylammonium hydroxide (TMMAOH) is required in the early stage of crystallization.

Summary: The dual use of organic structure-directing agents, namely N,N,N-trimethyl-(-)-cis-myrtanylammonium hydroxide (TMMAOH) and tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH), is proposed for the synthesis of CON-type aluminoborosilicate zeolite. TMMAOH exhibits a strong structure-directing effect, while TEAOH has a weaker effect and may lead to impurity phases. The intermediate addition of TEAOH is found to enhance the crystallization of economically viable CON-type zeolite, with the timing of its addition being critical for obtaining a pure CON phase.

Summary: Under ambient conditions, salt crystals with abnormal stoichiometries (Na2Cl and Na3Cl) form from unsaturated solutions on an iron surface, leading to enhanced iron corrosion. The ratio of abnormal crystals to ordinary NaCl is dependent on the initial NaCl concentration of the solution. The abnormal crystallization is attributed to different adsorption energy curves between Cl- -iron and Na+-iron, affecting the kinetic adsorption process and promoting the formation of abnormal stoichiometries.

Summary: This paper explores the synthesis field of microporous zeolite-type materials and discusses the types of organic structure-directing agents (OSDA) that can be utilized for their crystallization. The study demonstrates the novelty of using hexamethylenetetramine (urotropine) as a structure-directing agent for open-framework silica polymorphs. By protonating urotropine in an acidic fluorine-containing medium, it becomes an efficient OSDA that leads to the formation of dodecasil 3C (MTN-type). The author also investigates OSDA-framework interactions in the MTN-type structure and proposes a unit cell model based on experimental data and Monte Carlo simulation.

Summary: We have investigated the reactivity modulation of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by a charged metal-organic framework (MOF) material, MFM-305-CH3. Methylated unbound N-centres and Cl- ions in the pores are used to balance the cationic charge. The uptake of NO2 into MFM-305-CH3 leads to the reaction between NO2 and Cl- to form nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) and NO3- anions. The study provides insights into the binding domains and reactivity of adsorbed NO2 molecules within MFM-305-CH3 and MFM-305.

Summary: This paper reports the high adsorption of benzene at low pressure and efficient separation of benzene/cyclohexane achieved by controlling the pore chemistry of two families of robust metal-organic frameworks, UiO-66 and MFM-300. UiO-66-CuII exhibits exceptional adsorption of benzene at 3.92 mmol g-1 and MFM-300(Sc) shows a high selectivity of 166 for the separation of benzene/cyclohexane (v/v = 1/1) mixture. The binding mechanisms of benzene and cyclohexane in these materials are revealed through in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, and multiple spectroscopic techniques. Reversible binding of benzene at an open Cu(II) site within metal-organic frameworks is also visualized for the first time.

Summary: This article introduces a method to add functionality to polymer powders for powder bed fusion with laser beam (PBF/LB-P) using Fe3O4 nanoparticles hybridized with hollow carbon nanofibers (Fe3O4NP@CNF) as an example. By coating a small amount of Fe3O4@CNF on PA12 powder, a new material with additional functionality could be created without affecting its processability. The resulting polymer nano-composites showed comparable mechanical properties to the base polymer without a significant reduction in the processing window. In addition, this method allowed for preferential magnetic orientation in the composites.

Summary: Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials have gained increasing interest in electronics due to their diverse structures, intrinsic porosity, and designable host-guest interactions. In this study, we investigated the dielectric properties of a series of robust materials, MFM-300(M) (M = Al, Sc, Cr, Fe, Ga, In), upon exposure to different guest molecules. We found that MFM-300(Fe) showed the highest increase in dielectric constant when adsorbing NH3, indicating its potential as a powerful dielectric-based sensor for NH3. Structural analysis and spectroscopy confirmed the electron delocalization induced by host-guest interactions between NH3 and the MOF host, resulting in structural polarization and a high dielectric constant.

Summary: The development of systems with switchable thermal conductivities is a challenge in materials science. Molecular materials have not been extensively explored in this area. In this study, a reversible, light-triggered thermal conductivity switching of approximately 30-40% was achieved in mesophases of 4,4'-dialkyloxy-3-methylazobenzene. By doping a liquid crystal matrix, the thermal conductivity could be switched bidirectionally using UV/Vis-light irradiation. This approach opens up new possibilities for developing thermal switches based on molecular materials, considering the variety of photoactive molecules and chemically compatible liquid crystal mesophases.

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.
