Scalable Green Synthesis of Robust Ultra-Microporous Hofmann Clathrate Material with Record C3H6 Storage Density for Efficient C3H6/C3H8 Separation

Developing porous materials for C₃H₆/C₃H₈ separation faces the challenge of merging excellent separation performance with high stability and easy scalability of synthesis. Herein, we report a robust Hofmann clathrate material (ZJU-75a), featuring high-density strong binding sites to achieve all the above requirements. ZJU-75a adsorbs large amount of C₃H₆ with a record high storage density of 0.818 g mL⁻¹, and concurrently shows high C₃H₆/C₃H₈ selectivity (54.2) at 296 K and 1 bar. Single-crystal structure analysis unveil that the high-density binding sites in ZJU-75a not only provide much stronger interactions with C₃H₆ but also enable the dense packing of C₃H₆. Breakthrough experiments on gas mixtures afford both high separation factor of 14.7 and large C₃H₆ uptake (2.79 mmol g⁻¹). This material is highly stable and can be easily produced at kilogram-scale using a green synthesis method, making it as a benchmark material to address major challenges for industrial C₃H₆/C₃H₈ separation.     

A Strong-Acid-Resistant [Th6] Cluster-Based Framework for Effectively and Size-Selectively Catalyzing Reductive Amination of Aldehydes with N,N-Dimethylformamide

Utilization of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as an amine source and reductant for synthesizing tertiary amines is a promising way to replace the substrates formaldehyde and dimethylamine, and it is desirable to seek porous acid-resistant catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis of this reaction. Herein, a robust metal–organic framework (MOF) {[Th₆O₄(OH)₄(H₂O)₆(BCP)₃]⋅10 DMF}_n ( 1 ) containing stacked nanocages with a diameter of 1.55 nm was constructed. Compound 1 can maintain its single-crystal structure even kept in air at 400 °C for 3 h, and in DMF or water at 200 °C for 7 days. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggested that the high interaction energy between the [Th₆O₄(OH)₄(H₂O)₆]¹²⁺ clusters and ligands was responsible for the excellent stability of 1 . Catalytic investigations revealed that 1 can effectively and size-selectively catalyze the reductive amination of aldehydes with DMF, and it can be reused at least five times without obvious loss in catalytic activity.     

Superprotonic Conductivity of MOFs Confining Zwitterionic Sulfamic Acid as Proton Source and Conducting Medium

A few metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), which typically use strong acids as proton sources, display superprotonic conductivity (≈10⁻¹ S cm⁻¹); however, they are rare due to the instability of MOFs in highly acidic conditions. For the first time, we report superprotonic conductivity using a moderately acidic guest, zwitterionic sulfamic acid (HSA), which is encapsulated in MOF-808 and MIL-101. HSA acts not only as a proton source but also as a proton-conducting medium due to its extensive hydrogen bonding ability and zwitterion effect. A new sustained concentration gradient method results in higher HSA encapsulation compared to conventional methods, producing 10HSA@MOF-808-(bSA)₂ and 8HSA@MIL-101. These MOFs show impressive superprotonic conductivity of 2.47×10⁻¹ and 3.06×10⁻¹ S cm⁻¹, respectively, at 85 °C and 98 % relative humidity, and maintain stability for 7 days.     

Preparation of Fe−Co−LDH/MXene modified electrode for sensitive determination of arsenic (III) in aquatic system

3-dimensional (3D) Fe−Co−LDH/MXene composite was synthesized by in-situ synthesis and assembly of Fe−Co−LDH rod around MXene under hydrothermal condition. Due to the unique 3D configuration and good conductivity, the obtained Fe−Co−LDH/MXene modified glassy carbon electrode (Fe−Co−LDH/MXene/GCE) showed excellent electrochemical activity for As(III) detection. Via square-wave anodic stripping voltammetry, the response current on Fe−Co−LDH/MXene/GCE had good linear relationship with As(III) concentrations (1∼1000 ppt) with superior sensitivity (0.22 μA ppt⁻¹ cm⁻²) and low detection limit (0.9 ppt). The mechanism of As(III) adsorption was demonstrated. The electrode showed excellent anti-interference ability. Real water sample analysis demonstrated the Fe−Co−LDH/MXene/GCE was deployable in aqua-system.     

Rapid and label-free classification of pathogens based on light scattering,reduced power spectral features and support vector machine

The rapid identification of pathogens is crucial in controlling the food quality and safety. The proposed system for the rapid and label-free identification of pathogens is based on the principle of laser scattering from the bacterial microbes. The clinical prototype consists of three parts: the laser beam, photodetectors, and the data acquisition system. The bacterial testing sample was mixed with 10 mL distilled water and placed inside the machine chamber. When the bacterial microbes pass by the laser beam, the scattering of light occurs due to variation in size, shape, and morphology. Due to this reason, different types of pathogens show their unique light scattering patterns. The photo-detectors were arranged at the surroundings of the sample at different angles to collect the scattered light. The photodetectors convert the scattered light intensity into a voltage waveform. The waveform features were acquired by using the power spectral characteristics, and the dimensionality of extracted features was reduced by applying minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance criterion (mRMR). A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was developed by training the selected power spectral features for the classification of three different bacterial microbes. The resulting average identification accuracies of E. faecalis,E. coli and S. aureus were 99%, 87%, and 94%, respectively. The overall experimental results yield a higher accuracy of 93.6%, indicating that the proposed device has the potential for label-free identification of pathogens with simplicity, rapidity, and cost-effectiveness.

双功能MoNi4电极实现水参与的氮杂环化合物转移氢化与脱氢

氮杂环的催化氢化在有机合成、药物研发、石油化工等领域有着重要应用.尽管发展了一系列均相和非均相催化加氢体系,但由于通常使用易燃易爆的氢气或价格昂贵且毒性较高的试剂(如:水合肼和硼氢化钠)为氢源,给安全生产及生态环境带来了严重的问题.此外,由于动力学同位素效应,氘代药物具有重要应用.氮杂环结构作为生物医药的构筑单元与关键中间体,现有的策略由于没有合适的氘源难以用于氘代氮杂环化合物的合成.因此,急需开发一种基于非贵金属催化剂和安全易得氢(氘)源的氮杂环催化氢(氘)化策略.水相中的电化学氢化可利用水电解原位产生的活性氢替代传统的氢气裂解实现有机氢化产物的合成,已成为一种理想氢化策略,被广泛应用于二氧化碳还原、硝酸根还原和生物质氢解等.本课题组前期研究已经实现了以氘水为氘源的氘代分子的高效电化学合成(Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,18527–18531;Angew.Chem.Int.Ed.,2020,59,21170–21175;CCS Chem.,2021,3,507–515).然而,要开发一种电化学的杂环氢化方法,一方面要克服氮杂环化合物对催化剂的毒化,另一方面要在电极表面产生大量的活性氢.因此,开发具有较好的水离解性能的非贵金属电极材料是实现氮杂芳烃电化学氢化和氘代的关键.基于上述要求,MoNi4(目前用于碱性电催化水分解制氢的活性较高的非贵金属材料)成为理想的电极材料.本文以喹喔啉(1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉骨架作为重要的结构单元存在于许多生物活性化合物中)作为模板底物,设计并制备了三维自支撑的MoNi4多孔纳米片为双功能电极,以水和氘水为氢源和氘源,实现了喹喔啉及其他氮杂环分子的氢化与氢化,同时实现了四氢喹喔啉的电化学氧化脱氢.制备了MoNi4纳米片阵列,利用扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜、X射线衍射和X光电子能谱等手段进行表征,评估了其在碱性电解液中用于喹喔啉电化学转移氢化的性能.结果表明,MoNi4电极加速了动力学缓慢的Volmer步骤,在仅50 mV的过电势下以80％的法拉第效率实现了喹喔啉的电化学氢化.电子顺磁共振等证实水电解生成了H*,并与喹喔啉自由基阴离子偶联实现喹喔啉的氢化.同时,该电化学转移氢化方法可很好地应用于一系列喹喔啉衍生物和其他氮杂芳烃化合物.克级合成体现了该电化学转移氢化方法的潜在应用性.原位拉曼实验结果表明,在MoNi4表面形成的NiOOH是实现1,2,3,4-四氢喹喔啉氧化脱氢的重要物种.此外,以D2O代替H2O,可以较好的收率和高达99％的氘化率实现氘代氮杂环的合成.与传统的氮杂环氢化方法相比,本文的电化学转移氢化策略具有绿色、温和、高效的特点,同时拓宽了电化学氢化在合成化学中的应用.
