Cerium‐Based M4L4 Tetrahedra as Molecular Flasks for Selective Reaction Prompting and Luminescent Reaction Tracing

The application of metal–organic polyhedra as “molecular flasks” has precipitated a surge of interest in the reactivity and property of molecules within well‐defined spaces. Inspired by the structures of the natural enzymatic pockets, three metal–organic neutral molecular tetrahedral, Ce‐TTS, Ce‐TNS and Ce‐TBS (H₆TTS: N′,N′′,N′′′‐nitrilotris‐4,4′,4′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐benzohydrazide; H₆TNS: N′,N′′,N′′′‐nitrilotris‐6,6′,6′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐naphthohydrazide; H₆TBS: 1,3,5‐ phenyltris ‐4,4′,4′′‐(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide), which exhibit different size of the edges and cavities, were achieved through self‐assembly by incorporating robust amide‐containing tridentate chelating sites into the fragments of the ligands. They acted as molecular flasks to prompt the cyanosilylation of aldehydes with excellent selectivity towards the substrates size. The amide groups worked as trigger sites and catalytic driven forces to achieve efficient guest interactions, enforcing the substrates proximity within the cavity. Experiments on catalysts with the different cavity radii and substrates with the different molecular size demonstrated that the catalytic performance exhibited enzymatical catalytic mechanism and occurred in the molecular flask. These amides were also able to amplify guest‐bonding events into the measurable outputs for the detection of concentration variations of the substrates, providing the possibility for metal–organic hosts to work as smart molecular flasks for the luminescent tracing of catalytic reactions.

Effect of sintering temperature on microstructure,electric and optical properties of Ce<Subscript>0.8</Subscript>Gd<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2−δ</Subscript> + 2 mol % TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>

The effect of the sintering temperature of the Ce_0.8Gd_0.2O_2?δ + 2 mol % TiO₂ on its microstructure, electric, and optical properties was studied using the methods of x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), conductivity and ellipsometry. It is shown that the electrolyte lattice parameter decreases at an increase in the sintering temperature. The pattern of the sample surface obtained using the SEM method points to the dominating role of the sintering temperature in the formation of the electrolyte microstructure. Variation of optical properties as dependent on the synthesis temperature is also determined by the microstructure parameters of ceramics: presence of pores, formation of grain interfaces.

FT‐IR, electronic spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction were employed to show that the lanthanide ion, which displays an eight‐coordinate structure, is chelated by 3‐carboxyl and 4‐keto oxygen donors of CPFX and two six‐membered chelate rings are formed. Test of in vitro antibacterial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus indicated that the in vitro antibacterial activity of the ligand can be improved by complexation with Ce(III).

First-principles characterization of formate and carboxyl adsorption on stoichiometric CeO2(111) and CeO2(110) surfaces

Molecular adsorption of formate and carboxyl on stoichiometric CeO₂(111) and CeO₂(110) surfaces was studied using periodic density functional theory (DFT+U) calculations. Two distinguishable adsorption modes (strong and weak) of formate are identified. The bidentate configuration is more stable than the monodentate adsorption configuration. Both formate and carboxyl bind at the more open CeO₂(110) surface are stronger. The calculated vibrational frequencies of two adsorbed species are consistent with the experimental measurements. Finally, the effects of U parameters on the adsorption of formate and carboxyl over both CeO₂ surfaces were investigated. We found that the geometrical configurations of two adsorbed species are not affected by different U parameters (U = 0, 5, and 7). However, the calculated adsorption energy of carboxyl pronouncedly increases with the U value while the adsorption energy of formate only slightly changes (<0.2 eV). The Bader charge analysis shows the opposite charge transfer occurs for formate and carboxyl adsorption where the adsorbed formate is negatively charge while the adsorbed carboxyl is positively charged. Interestingly, with the increasing U parameter, the amount of charge is also increased.
