Summary: The second example of tetravalent plutonium carboxyl-based organic framework, PuTPO, is reported in this study. Characterizations such as X-ray crystallography and solid-state UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy were conducted to elucidate its structure and physicochemical properties. PuTPO is composed of dimers of the plutonium-oxygen subunit of [Pu2O16]. The characteristic peaks around 1100 nm can be considered as the fingerprint peaks of tetravalent plutonium. PuTPO exhibits a radiation-induced swelling effect after self-irradiation, indicating its potential in radiation resistance for metal-organic frameworks.

Summary: We have synthesized a novel hydroxamate-based yttrium MOF, named MOF-419, with rod-shaped SBUs. The use of benzene-1,4-hydroxamate (BDH2-) linkers and formic acid as a modulator was crucial for the formation of rod-shaped SBUs. MOF-419 exhibits permanent porosity, with a BET surface area of 1130 m(2)/g. Its hydrophobic pore environment and gas sorption properties were confirmed through various experiments. These findings will contribute to the study and understanding of rod MOFs with chelating linkages.

Summary: Aromatic sulfur-containing compounds are the main constraints for further upgrading of liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Efficiently adsorbing these compounds using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is challenging due to the presence of single and inert adsorptive sites. In this study, a new strategy is proposed to generate Cu(I) and Cu-coordination-unsaturated sites (Cu-CUS) in MOFs by constructing dinuclear-crossed secondary building units (SBUs). The optimal MOF with abundant Cu(I), Cu-CUS, and large surface areas shows significantly increased adsorption capacity for dibenzothiophene compared to sole Cu-PyC and Cu-BTC. The high adsorption capacity is attributed to the electron-transfer mechanism between empty-electron-orbital Cu(I)/Cu-CUS and electron-enriched aromatic sulfur-containing compounds. This molecular engineering strategy of creating multiple adsorptive sites shows great promise for the design of MOFs-based adsorbents.

Summary: This study attempts to rationalize the role of aluminum as a structure directing agent in the synthesis of zeolites using computational chemistry and based on the criteria of energetic stability using both force field and periodic DFT methods. By selecting certain cases, comparing the relative stability of different zeolite phases synthesized under the same organic structure directing agent (OSDA) with and without aluminum, it helps to explain how aluminum contributes to the relative stability of the different competing zeolite phases considered.

Summary: A unique feature of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is their structural switchability, which offers a wide range of functionality for sustainable energy applications. This study provides experimental evidence for fluid metastability and history-dependent states during sorption in MOFs, leading to the counterintuitive phenomenon of negative gas adsorption (NGA). The authors used various techniques to examine n-butane molecular dynamics and the framework response during the sorption process, revealing the role of metastable states in the NGA transitions.

Summary: In this study, a new low density electrolyte based on hexyl methyl ether (HME) and 1,3-dioxalane (DOL) was introduced, which allows the use of graphite as anode material for Li-S batteries. By using symmetric graphite vs. graphite cells, an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.94% per electrode could be achieved. Furthermore, the cycling conditions for Li-S cells with graphite anodes were optimized for the first time, and the feasibility of the concept was demonstrated in multilayer pouch cells under realistic conditions.

Summary: Photodecarboxylation of hexanoic acid into alkanes using TiO2-supported Au-Pd catalysts showed better catalytic performance compared to monometallic Au or Pd catalysts. The bimetallic catalyst achieved 94.7% conversion of hexanoic acid and nearly 100% selectivity to pentane under UV-vis irradiation. The synergistic effect between Au and Pd in the nanostructured alloy was responsible for the enhanced activity.

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.
