{Nb288O768(OH)48(CO3)12}: A Macromolecular Polyoxometalate with Close to 300 Niobium Atoms

A protein‐sized (ca. 4.2×4.2×3.6 nm³) non‐biologically derived molecule {Nb₂₈₈O₇₆₈(OH)₄₈(CO₃)₁₂} ( Nb₂₈₈ ) containing up to 288 niobium atoms has been obtained, which is by far the largest and the highest nuclearity polyoxoniobate (PONb). Particularly, in terms of metal nuclearity number, Nb₂₈₈ is the second largest cluster so far reported in classic polyoxometalate chemistry (V, Mo, W, Nb, and Ta). Nb₂₈₈ can be described as a giant windmill‐like cluster aggregate of six nanoscale high‐nuclearity PONb units {Nb₄₇O₁₂₈(OH)₆(CO₃)₂} ( Nb₄₇ ) joined together by six additional Nb ions. Interestingly, the 47‐nuclearity Nb₄₇ units generated in situ can be isolated and bridged by copper complexes to form an inorganic–organic hybrid three‐dimensional PONb framework, which exhibits effective catalytic activity for hydrolyzing nerve agent simulant of dimethyl methylphosphonate. The unique Nb₄₇ cluster also provides a new type of topology to very limited family of Nb‐O clusters.     

Reversible SC‐SC Transformation involving [4+4] Cycloaddition of Anthracene: A Single‐Ion to Single‐Molecule Magnet and Yellow‐Green to Blue‐White Emission

In search of magneto‐optic materials, the mononuclear compounds Ln^III(depma)(NO₃)₃(hmpa)₂ (Ln=Dy, Gd) were synthesized. The anthracene moieties undergo [4+4] dimerization when irradiated at 365 nm without loss of crystallinity. The Dy compound switches from a single‐ion to a single‐molecule magnet with doubling of the spin reversal barrier energy and from yellow‐green to blue‐white emission. The dimerization is reversed by heating at 100 °C or partially on light irradiating at 254 nm. The results suggest that lanthanide phosphonates with anthracene are promising smart materials displaying synergistic magneto‐optic property.     

Bandgap‐Tunable Preparation of Smooth and Large Two‐Dimensional Antimonene

As a highly stable band gap semiconductor, antimonene is an intriguing two‐dimensional (2D) material in optoelectronics. However, its short layer distance and strong binding energy make it challenging to prepare high‐quality large 2D antimonene; therefore, its predicted tunable band gap has not been experimentally confirmed. Now, an approach to prepare smooth and large 2D antimonene with uniform layers that uses a pregrinding and subsequent sonication‐assisted liquid‐phase exfoliation process has been established. Mortar pregrinding provides a shear force along the layer surfaces, forming large, thin antimony plates, which can then easily be exfoliated into smooth, large antimonene, avoiding long sonication times and antimonene destruction. The resulting antimonene also enabled verification of the tunable band gap from 0.8 eV to 1.44 eV. Hole extraction and current enhancement by about 30 % occurred when the antimonene was used as a hole transport layer in perovskite solar cells.     

Silver microspheres coated with a molecularly imprinted polymer as a SERS substrate for sensitive detection of bisphenol A

An efficient approach is demonstrated for preparing particles consisting of a silver core and a shell of molecularly imprinted polymer (Ag@MIP). The MIP is prepared by using bisphenol A (BPA) as the template and 4-vinylpyridine as the functional monomer. The Ag@MIP fulfills a dual function in that the silver core acts as a SERS substrate, while the MIP allows for selective recognition of BPA. The Ag@MIP is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The Raman intensity of Ag@MIP is higher than that of bare silver microspheres. The detection limit for BPA is as low as 10^?9 mol·L^?1.

Imaging Isocyanic Acid Photodissociation at 193 nm: the NH(a1Δ)+ CO(X1Σ+) Channel

The photodissociation dynamics of isocyanic acid (HNCO) has been studied by the timesliced velocity map ion imaging technique at 193 nm. The NH(aΔ) products were measured via (2+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization. Images have been accumulated for the NH(aΔ) rotational states in the ground and vibrational excited state (v=0 and 1). The center-of-mass translational energy distribution derived from the NH(aΔ) images implies that the CO vibrational distributions are inverted for most of the measured NH(v|j) internal states. The anisotropic product angular distribution observed indicates a rapid dissociation process for the N-C bond cleavage. A bimodal rotational state distribution of CO(v) has been observed, this result implies that isocyanic acid dissociates in the S₁ state in two different pathways.
