Summary: A new 2D flexible cobalt(ii) framework (Co-MOF) undergoes reversible structural transformation upon guest molecule removal/uptake. After activation, Co-MOF-alpha with 1D porous channels transforms into Co-MOF-beta (0D voids) with changes in metal and carboxylate coordination modes, rotation of organic linkers, and contraction of interstitial spaces. Gas adsorption experiments reveal that Co-MOF-beta exhibits a two-step CO2 adsorption isotherm and close-to-open isotherms for C2H2, C2H4, and C2H6 at 195 K, demonstrating selective uptake of C2H2 over CH4 and CO2 at room temperature.

Summary: Extensive research has been conducted on synthesizing MOFs with high surface areas, but simultaneously introducing functional groups on their backbones is still a challenge. Although using longer links can result in interpenetrating structures or instability, achieving MOFs with large pores and desirable functional groups is a long-standing challenge. However, the crystalline nature of MOFs allows for monitoring and controlling host-guest interactions. To better understand the effects of functional group structure and positions on applications, a platform of azo and azine-containing MOFs was designed and synthesized as a fluorescent probe for Danthron. TMU-84 and TMU-85 showed high sensitivity and significant K-sv (6572) value in distinguishing complementary and mismatched target sequences.

Summary: This study demonstrates the preparation of divalent lanthanoid pseudo-Grignard reagents PhLnBr (Ln= Sm, Eu and Yb) by the oxidative addition of bromobenzene (PhBr) to lanthanoid metals in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reaction of PhLnBr with bulky N,N'-bis(2,6-di-isopropylphenyl)formamidine (DippFormH) generates Ln(II) complexes, and the reaction with 3,5-diphenylpyrazole (Ph2pzH) leads to the formation of both divalent and trivalent complexes. The use of PhLnBr in this work leads to different outcomes compared to previous reactions with PhLnI.

Summary: Due to the differences between lanthanoids and tellurium atoms, low-coordinate, monomeric lanthanoid tellurolate complexes have been difficult to synthesize compared to complexes with lighter group 16 elements. In a recent study, low-coordinate, monomeric lanthanoid tellurolate complexes were successfully synthesized using hybrid organotellurolate ligands containing N-donor pendant arms. The structures of these complexes were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and their electronic structures were investigated using DFT calculations.

Summary: New divalent ansa-octaphenyllanthanocenecomplexes were synthesized through reductive dimerization of 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylfulvene, and their structures and spectroscopic properties were compared to unbridged octaphenyl and decaphenyl sandwich complexes. The reductive dimerization of fulvenes using low-valent metal precursors is a direct method for accessing ethylene-bridged metallocenes. In this work, a new synthesis of the unsubstituted exocyclic 1,2,3,4-tetraphenylfulvene and its characterization, as well as the synthesis of divalent ansa-octaphenylmetallocenes with different lanthanoid metals, were described. The luminescence properties of one of the complexes were also studied.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

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.
