Three Isomeric Chiral Metal-organic Frameworks Determined by Different Halogen Ions

Three isomeric metal-organic frameworks,[Cd2（X）（btc）（DMA）3]n（X = Cl（1）,Br（2）,I（3）,H3btc =1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and DMA = N,Nˊ-dimethylacetamide）,have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis,infrared spectra（IR）,thermogravimetric（TG） analyses and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that compounds 1–3 crystallize in the orthorhombic P212121 space group,and feature a three-dimensional（3D） extended framework containing dinuclear [Cd2（COO）3] units as the secondary building units（SBUs）.Topological analysis reveals that compounds 1–3 can be simplified into a 3-connected srs topological network.     

Realization of Quantum Maxwell's Demon with Solid-State Spins

We report experimental realization of a quantum version of Maxwell's demon using solid state spins where the information acquiring and feedback operations by the demon are achieved through conditional quantum gates.A unique feature of this implementation is that the demon can start in a quantum superposition state or in an entangled state with an ancilla observer. Through quantum state tomography, we measure the entropy in the system, demon, and the ancilla, showing the influence of coherence and entanglement on the result. A quantum implementation of Maxwell's demon adds more controllability to this paradoxical thermal machine and may find applications in quantum thermodynamics involving microscopic systems.

Synthesis,Structure and Luminescent Property of a New bnn-type Zn(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer

A new Zn(Ⅱ) coordination polymer, namely [Zn(Htci)(bib)0.5(H2O)]n·nH2O(1, H3 tci = tri(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate, bib = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-butane) has been synthesized by combining H3 tci and bib ligands with Zn(Ⅱ) salts under solvothermal conditions. The title compound crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 13.3424(7), b = 7.9051(5), c = 20.4650(12) , β = 101.935(5)o, V = 2111.8(2) 3, C17H24N5O11 Zn, Mr = 539.8, Z = 4, Dc = 1.698 g/cm3, F(000) = 1116, μ = 1.236 mm-1, the final R = 0.0398 and wR = 0.00879 for 3722 observed reflections(I 2■(I)). X-ray structural analysis reveals that compound 1 exhibits a three-dimensional(3D) pillar-layered framework, and can be simplified into a 5-connected bnn topological network. Moreover, the luminescent properties for compound 1 were also studied at room temperature.
