Syntheses and Characterization of Two Coordination Polymers Constructed by the Ligand 3,5‐Bis(pyridin‐4‐ylmethoxy)benzoic Acid

Two coordination polymers, namely [Zn(L1)(OAc)]·H₂O ( 1 ) and [Cd(L1)₂] ( 2 ), where L1 = 3,5‐bis(pyridin‐4‐ylmethoxy)benzoic acid, have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 has a 2D layer structure in which the hydrogen bonds between lattice water molecules and uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms of the ligand L1 in the adjacent layers extend the 2D layer into a 3D supramolecular architecture. The structure of 2 is a 2D (3,5)‐connected net with (3·5²)(3²·5³·6⁴·7) topology. In addition, the luminescent properties of complexes 1 and 2 have been studied in the solid state at room temperature.

以1,4-双(咪唑基-1-甲基)-苯(bix)为配体,间苯二甲酸(IPA)为辅助配体,合成制备了两种新型同构配位聚合物:{[Ni(bix)(IPA)(H_2O)]}_n(1)和{[Co(bix)(IPA)(H_2O)]}_n(2)。单晶结构表明,此两个配合物均形成二维层状空间结构,金属原子均为六配位八面体结构,赤道平面上四个配位原子来自间苯二甲酸和配位水分子,轴向两个配位原子为bix配体的咪唑环上的N原子。金属原子通过配体连接形成四连接的二维4(4).6(2)方格层状结构。     

Bibliometric analysis and an overview of the application of the non-precious materials for pyrolysis reaction of plastic waste

Huge plastic consumption and depletion of fossil fuels are at the top of the world's environmental and energy challenges. The scientific community has tackled these issues through different approaches. Catalytic pyrolysis of plastic wastes to valuable products has been proved as a sustainable route which fits with the circular economy aspects. The design of catalytic materials is the central factor for performing the catalytic conversion of plastic wastes. This review aims to conduct a Bibliometric analysis of the pyrolysis of plastic wastes and non-precious-based catalysts by mapping research studies over the last fifty years. The analysis was developed via VOSviewer and RStudio tools. It showed the historical progress regarding plastic waste pyrolysis to produce valuable products and chemicals worldwide. The research shows that the top five countries with the highest citations and publications in this field were Spain, China, England, the USA and India. The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis had the most comprehensive coverage of plastic waste. The relationship between the catalyst and the mechanism of plastic waste can influence the production yield and selectivity. The research gap and underrepresented research topics were identified, and previous research studies on developing non-precious-based catalysts that were most relevant to the current topic were reviewed and discussed. The challenges and perspectives on catalyst preparation and development for material complexity were critically discussed. Challenges of previous studies and directions for future research were provided. This report might guide the reader to take a general look at plastic waste valorization by pyrolysis and easily understand the main challenges.
