Review: Different types of ordering

Homogeneous structures A_xB_y with identical A–A or B–B self‐coordination numbers T₁, T₂, T₃, of nearest, next‐nearest and third neighbors are selected. The maximum T_i values are 2 2 2 (1D row), 6 6 6 (2D hexagonal net) and 12 6 24 (3D cubic close‐packing). Reduced T₁ or T₂ values for A_xB_y can be related with attractive or repulsive A–A (or B–B) interactions. A single set of T₁ T₂ T₃; y/x values was obtained for y/x = 1–4 and 6. The y/x = 2 structures of three equivalent positions A, B and C are unfavourable for A = ⊕ and B = ⊖ charge or direction of magnetic moments. The spatial distribution of positive and negative potential near A⁺ and B⁻ positions gives rise to neutral C positions. Frustrated magnetic moments at C positions are disordered.

Optical Properties and Photo‐Oxidation of Tetraphenylethene‐Based Fluorophores

We report the optical properties of tetraphenylethene (TPE) and other TPE derivatives functionalised with an octyl group (TPE‐OCT) and polyethyleneglycol group (TPE‐PEG) in the side chain. We compared TPE‐OCT and TPE‐PEG with TPE in both organic solvents and under aqueous conditions. All materials exhibit aggregation‐induced emission, however, uncommonly, TPE‐PEG seems to aggregate in aqueous solution with enhanced photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) relative to that in organic solvents. All three materials can be photo‐oxidised in solution to their diphenylphenanthrene derivative by irradiation with UV light (at both ≈1 and ≈5 mW cm^?2), with a subsequent enhancement in PL efficiency. The electron‐donating ether group increases the rate of oxidation relative to bare TPE and also photo‐oxidation was shown to be solvent and concentration dependent. Finally, photo‐oxidation was also demonstrated in the aggregate state.

Facile Synthesis of Hierarchical Nanosized Single‐Crystal Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieves from Highly Homogeneous and Concentrated Precursors

The synthesis of hierarchical nanosized zeolite materials without growth modifiers and mesoporogens remains a substantial challenge. Herein, we report a general synthetic approach to produce hierarchical nanosized single‐crystal aluminophosphate molecular sieves by preparing highly homogeneous and concentrated precursors and heating at elevated temperatures. Accordingly, aluminophosphate zeotypes of LTA (8‐rings), AEL (10‐rings), AFI (12‐rings), and ‐CLO (20‐rings) topologies, ranging from small to extra‐large pores, were synthesized. These materials show exceptional properties, including small crystallites (30–150 nm), good monodispersity, abundant mesopores, and excellent thermal stability. A time‐dependent study revealed a non‐classical crystallization pathway by particle attachment. This work opens a new avenue for the development of hierarchical nanosized zeolite materials and understanding their crystallization mechanism.     

A New Series of C‐6 Unsubstituted Tetrahydropyrimidines: Convenient One‐Pot Chemoselective Synthesis,Aggregation‐Induced and Size‐Independent Emission Characteristics

A new series of C‐6 unsubstituted tetrahydropyrimidines 6 have been directly synthesized via a convenient urea‐catalyzed chemoselective five‐component reaction (5CR) under mild conditions. Compounds 6 show typical aggregation‐induced emission enhancement (AIEE) characteristics because they are practically no emissive in solution but emit blue or green fluorescence in aggregates with fluorescence yield up to 93 %. One of the 5CR products, 6 aa , exhibits blue‐ and green‐fluorescence aggregates (bf‐ and gf‐aggregates). The bf‐ and gf‐aggregates are prepared under different conditions and proved to result from different J‐aggregations by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. In addition, the bf‐ and gf‐aggregates of 6 aa show unusual size‐independent emission (SIE) characteristics because their maximum emission wavelengths in different sizes (suspension particles, film, powder and crystals) are the same, 434 and 484 nm, respectively. Based on the obtained experimental results, the 5CR mechanism, the origins of AIEE and SIE characteristics are discussed.

Synthesis and characteristics of a nonaggregating tris(tetrathiafulvaleno)dodecadehydro[18]annulene

A new tris(tetrathiafulvaleno)dodecadehydro[18]annulene with six peripheral n-hexyl substituents was prepared by oxidative Glaser-Hay cyclization of a corresponding diethynylated tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) precursor. The electronic properties of the neutral and oxidized species were studied by both UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and electrochemistry. From these studies, it transpires that the strongly violet-colored macrocycle does not aggregate in solution to any significant degree, which was confirmed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. This reluctance towards aggregation contrasts that observed for related TTF-annulenes containing other peripheral substitutents. Oxidation of the TTF-annulene occurs in two three-electron steps as inferred from both the peak amplitudes and the spectroelectrochemical study. We find that the tris(TTF)-fused dehydro[18]annulene is more difficult to oxidize (by +0.20 V) than the silyl-protected diethynylated mono-TTF precursor. In contrast, the first vertical ionization energy calculated at the B3 LYP/6-311+G(2d,p) level for the parent tris(TTF)-fused dehydro[18]annulene devoid of peripheral hexyl substituents is in fact lower (by 0.44 eV). Moreover, the surface morphology of 1 d drop-cast on a mica substrate was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Crystalline domains with slightly different orientations were observed. The thickness of individual layers seen in the crystalline domains and the thickness of a monolayer obtained from a very dilute solution were determined to 1.8-1.9 nm. This thickness corresponds to the diameter of the macrocycle and the layers seen in the film are apparently formed when the molecules stack in the horizontal direction relative to the substrate.     

Construction of Flexible-on-Rigid Hybrid-Phase Metal–Organic Frameworks for Controllable Multi-Drug Delivery

Multi-component MOFs contain multiple sets of unique and hierarchical pores, with different functions for different applications, distributed in their inter-linked domains. Herein, we report the construction of a class of precisely aligned flexible-on-rigid hybrid-phase MOFs with a unique rods-on-octahedron morphology. We demonstrated that hybrid-phase MOFs can be constructed based on two prerequisites: the partially matched topology at the interface of the two frameworks, and the structural flexibility of MOFs with acs topology, which can compensate for the differences in lattice parameters. Furthermore, we achieved domain selective loading of multiple guest molecules into the hybrid-phase MOF, as observed by scanning transmission electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry elemental mapping. Most importantly, we successfully applied the constructed hybrid-phase MOF to develop a dual-drug delivery system with controllable loading ratio and release kinetics.
