Synthesis, crystal structure and equilibrium studies on the bidentate amine adducts of bis(S-methyl-β-N-(4-methyloxyphenyl) methylendithiocarbazide)nickel(II) complex

The crystal structure of the 1,10-phenanthroline bis(S-methyl-β-N-(4-methyloxyphenyl)methylendithiocarbazide)nickel(II) adduct, (Ni(SN)₂phen) [SN = S-methyl-β-N-(4-methyloxyphenyl)methylendithiocarbazide, PHEN = phenanthroline], has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The nickel atom is in an octahedral environment, surrounded by two chelating SN ligands and one chelating phen molecule. The nitrogen atoms from phen are in the cis configuration. The other chelating diamines adducts of the parent complex (Ni(SN)₂) were also studied, where the chelating diamnies are 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline(NO₂phen), 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 4,4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine (Mebipy). The equilibria were determined by UV-vis spectrometry in dichloromethane. The coordination ability of the added ligands were influenced by substitute groupings and steric factors. From the structure and addition equilibrium studies, the possible addition mechanisms are also discussed.     

Photo-Controlled Macroscopic Self-Assembly Based on Photo-Switchable Hetero-Complementary Quadruple Hydrogen Bonds

A photo-switchable hetero-complementary quadruple H-bonding array, which consists of an azobenzene-derived ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) module ( Azo-UPy ) and a nonphotoactive diamidonaphthyridine (DAN) derivative ( Napy-1 ), is constructed based on a reversible photo-locking approach. Upon UV (390 nm)/Vis (460 nm) light irradiations, photo-switchable quadruple H-bonded dimerization between Azo-UPy and Napy-1 can be achieved with exhibiting 4.8×10⁴-fold differences in binding strength (ON/OFF ratios). Furthermore, smart polymeric gels with unique photo-controlled macroscopic self-assembly behavior can be fabricated by introducing such quadruple H-bonding array as photo-regulable noncovalent interfacial connections.     

Grain Boundary Electronic Insulation for High-Performance All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Sulfide electrolytes with high ionic conductivities are one of the most highly sought for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the non-negligible electronic conductivities of sulfide electrolytes (≈10⁻⁸ S cm⁻¹) lead to electron smooth transport through the sulfide electrolyte pellets, resulting in Li dendrite directly depositing at the grain boundaries (GBs) and serious self-discharge. Here, a grain-boundary electronic insulation (GBEI) strategy is proposed to block electron transport across the GBs, enabling Li−Li symmetric cells with 30 times longer cycling life and Li−LiCoO₂ full cells with three times lower self-discharging rate than pristine sulfide electrolytes. The Li−LiCoO₂ ASSLBs deliver high capacity retention of 80 % at 650 cycles and stable cycling performance for over 2600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm⁻². The innovation of the GBEI strategy provides a new direction to pursue high-performance ASSLBs via tailoring the electronic conductivity.     

Surface Chemistry and Catalytic Reactivity of Borocarbonitride in Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane

Borocarbonitride (BCN) materials are newly developed oxidative dehydrogenation catalysts that can efficiently convert alkanes to alkenes. However, BCN materials tend to form bulky B₂O₃ due to over-oxidation at the high reaction temperature, resulting in significant deactivation. Here, we report a series of super stable BCN nanosheets for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) reaction. The catalytic performance of the BCN nanosheets can be easily regulated by changing the guanine dosage. The control experiment and structural characterization indicate that the introduction of a suitable amount of carbon could prevent the formation of excessive B₂O₃ from BCN materials and maintain the 2D skeleton at a high temperature of 520 °C. The best-performing catalyst BCN exhibits 81.9 % selectivity towards olefins with a stable propane conversion of 35.8 %, and the propene productivity reaches 16.2 mmol h⁻¹ g⁻¹, which is much better than hexagonal BN (h-BN) catalysts. Density functional theory calculation results show that the presence of dispersed rather than aggregated carbon atoms can significantly affect the electronic microenvironment of h-BN, thereby boosting the catalytic activity of BCN.     

Application of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy in the Studies of Colloidal Quantum Qots

Colloidal quantum dots display remarkable optical and electrical characteristics with the potential for extensive applications in contemporary nanotechnology. As an ideal instrument for examining surface topography and local density of states (LDOS) at an atomic scale, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) has become indispensable approaches to gain better understanding of their physical properties. This article presents a comprehensive review of the research advancements in measuring the electronic orbits and corresponding energy levels of colloidal quantum dots in various systems using STM and STS. The first three sections introduce the basic principles of colloidal quantum dots synthesis and the fundamental methodology of STM research on quantum dots. The fourth section explores the latest progress in the application of STM for colloidal quantum dot studies. Finally, a summary and prospective is presented.     

1,3-Sulfinate Migration Triggered by α-Imino Carbene and Divergent Zwitterion Cyclization: Synthesis of Cyclopropane,Dihydropyrrole, and Azepane Ring Systems

Cyclopropane, dihydropyrrole, and azepane ring systems were synthesized conveniently from sulfinate-tethered triazoles. The divergent synthetic strategy started with the unique 1,3-sulfinate migration of an α-imino carbene. The efficient reaction allowed control of the zwitterion bearing multiple reactive sites depending on the increased stability of the resulting carbocation and anion. The sulfinate was converted to a sulfone after the group migration, and a stable anion bearing two electron-withdrawing groups was thus formed. Catalytic amounts of iodide acted as a switch for the synthesis of cyclopropanes and dihydropyrroles. The reaction merits including readily available substrates, mild reaction conditions, and excellent functional group compatibility qualified this protocol a possible synthetic tool for cyclic compounds, especially for N-heterocycles.
