A Photoconductive X-ray Detector with a High Figure of Merit Based on an Open-Framework Chalcogenide Semiconductor

A wide range of tunability in the physical parameters of a semiconductor used for X-ray detection is desirable to achieve targeted performance optimization. However, in a dense-phase semiconductor, fine-tuning one parameter often leads to unwanted changes in other parameters. Herein, the intrinsic openness in an open-framework semiconductor has been confirmed, for the first time, to be a key structural factor that weakens the mutual exclusivity of the adjustable physical parameters owing to a non-linear control mechanism. The controllable doping of S in a zeolitic In–Se host results in an optimal balance between resistivity, band gap, and carrier mobility, which finally results in an excellent X-ray detector with a high figure of merit for the mobility–lifetime product (7.12×10⁻⁴ cm² V⁻¹); this value is superior to that of a commercial α-Se detector. The current strategy of choosing open-framework semiconductor materials opens a new window for targeting high-performance X-ray detection.     

Metal-Carboxyl Helical Chain Secondary Units Supported Ion-Exchangeable Anionic Uranyl–Organic Framework

As a less explored avenue, actinide-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are worth studying for the particularity of actinide nodes in coordination behaviour and assembly modes. In this work, an azobenzenetetracarboxylate-based anionic MOF supported by uranyl–carboxyl helical chain units was synthesized, incorporating linear uranyl as the metal centre. This kind of helical chain-type building unit is reported for the first time in uranyl-based MOFs. Structural analysis reveals that the formation of helical chain secondary units can be attributed to restricted equatorial coordination of rigid flat azobenzene ligand to uranyl centres. Meanwhile, this newly-synthesized anionic material has been used to remove Eu³⁺ ions, as a non-radioactive surrogate of Am³⁺ ion, through an ion-exchange process with [(CH₃)₂NH₂]⁺ ions in its open channels, as evidenced by a combination of ¹H NMR spectroscopy, EDS and PXRD.     

Exploration of New Birefringent Crystals in Bismuth d0 Transition Metal Selenites

The first examples of bismuth fluoride selenites with d⁰-TM/Te^VI polyhedrons, namely, Bi₄TiO₂F₄(SeO₃)₄ ( 1 ), Bi₄NbO₃F₃(SeO₃)₄ ( 2 ), Bi₄TeO₄F₂(TeO₃)₂(SeO₃)₂ ( 3 ), Bi₂F₂(MoO₄)(SeO₃) ( 4 ) and Bi₂ZrO₂F₂(SeO₃)₂ ( 5 ) have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal reactions by aliovalent substitution. The five new compounds feature three different types of structures. Compounds 1 – 3 , containing Ti^IV, Nb^V and Te^VI respectively, are isostructural, exhibiting a new 3D framework composed of a 3D bismuth oxyfluoride architecture, with intersecting tunnels occupied by d⁰-TM/Te^VI octahedrons and selenite/tellurite groups. Interestingly, compound Bi₄TeO₄F₂(TeO₃)₂(SeO₃)₂ ( 3 ) is the first structure containing Se^IV and mixed-valent Te^IV/Te^VI cations simultaneously. Compound 4 features a new 3D structure formed by a 3D bismuth oxyfluoride network with MoO₄ tetrahedrons and selenites groups imbedded in the 1D tunnels. Compound 5 displays a novel pillar-layered 3D open framework, consisting of 2D bismuth oxide layers bridged by the [ZrO₂F₂(SeO₃)₂]⁶⁻ polyanions. Theoretical calculations revealed that the five compounds displayed very strong birefringence. The birefringence values of compounds 1 – 3 , especially, are above 0.19 at 1064 nm, which are larger than the mineral calcite. Based on the structure and property analysis, it was found that the asymmetric SeO₃ groups (and TeO₃ in compound 3 ) displayed the largest anisotropy, compared with the bismuth cations and the d⁰-TM/Te polyhedra, which is beneficial to the birefringence.     

Preparation of a Lanthanide–Titanium Oxo Cluster–Polymer Composite by CuI-Catalyzed Click Chemistry

Incorporating metal clusters within the skeleton of the organic polymers through a click reaction cannot only effectively prepare cluster–polymer composites, but also effectively avoid the cluster aggregation. Herein, an azide-containing lanthanide–titanium oxo cluster of Eu₈Ti₁₀-N₃ ( Eu₈Ti₁₀-N₃ =[Eu₈Ti₁₀(μ₃-O)₁₄(H₂O)₄(OAc)₂(tbba)₃₀(paza)₄(THF)₂] ⋅ 4 THF ⋅ 8 H₂O ( 1 ), Htbba=4-tert-butylbenzoic acid, Hpaza=4-azidobenzoate, HOAc=acetic acid, THF=tetrahydrofuran) through an in situ solvothermal reaction of 4-azidobenzoic acid and 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid. Reaction of 1 with PEG ( PEG =methoxypoly(ethyleneglycol)alkyne, 2000 g mol⁻¹) through Cu^I-catalyzed click chemistry generates a lanthanide–polymer composite of Eu₈Ti₁₀-N₃@PEG ( 2 ). Investigation with IR, ¹H NMR and ICP-OES of 2 indicates that the structural integrity of 1 is maintained in 2 . Study of the luminescent properties of 1 and 2 reveals that the quantum yield of 1 itself basically remains unchanged in 2 . Significantly, the formation of 2 cannot only effectively prevent the cluster 1 from aggregation, but also greatly enhance its solubility and adhesion to the substrate. Owing to the solubility and adhesion of luminescent materials being the key to their practical application, present work is thus of great significance for the development of metal cluster–polymer composite luminescent materials.     

Preparation of Tetraethylenepentamine-Functionalized 4A Zeolite for effective removal of phosphate in water

Recently, the high-concentration phosphorus-containing wastewater has been caused lots of negative influences on aquatic environment and thus driven people to develop some effective methods to remove excess of phosphate in water. In order to solve these environmental problem, in this work, a tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) modified 4A zeolite has been prepared and used for removing phosphate. Removal of phosphate by precipitation of 4A zeolite and electrostatic action of TEPA with phosphate were determined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier infrared spectrum, and morphology and characteristic peak of TEPA-4A zeolite before and after adsorption changed significantly. In addition, the results of batch adsorption studies showed that the pH of the solution have a significant influence on the adsorption of TEPA-4A and the biggest adsorption capacity was 23 mg/g at pH = 2.3 ± 0.2. Adsorption isotherms results showed that the process was consistent with Langmuir model and the maximum adsorption capacity could reach to 28 mg/g at 25 °C. TEPA-4A adsorption processes were spontaneous endothermic reaction, and elevated temperatures were conducive to the adsorption process through kinetics and thermodynamics results. The research of TEPA modified 4A zeolite and raw 4A zeolite provides technical support for the development of 4A zeolite instead of sodium tripolyphosphate as a new type of detergent ingredient.

Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Access to Spirocycles through C−H Activation and Axial-to-Central Chirality Transfer

Axial-to-central chirality transfer is an important strategy to construct chiral centers, where the axially chiral reagents are mostly limited to atropomerically stable ones. Reported herein is a Rh^III-catalyzed enantioselective spiroannulative synthesis of nitrones. The coupling proceeds via C−H arylation to give an atropomerically metastable biaryl, followed by intramolecular dearomative trapping under oxidative conditions with high degree of chirality transfer.
