Wide application of novel materials often requires low-cost preparation methods. In this study, we present a simplified and facile preparation method for the [Ca24Al28O64]4+(e-)4 electride material (C12A7:e-). Successful preparation of the C12A7:e- electride was confirmed by XRD patterns and magnetic behavior analysis. The concentration of electron...

Through dioxygen activation, a tetranuclear Mn(II,III,III,II) diamond core, [Mn4(HPTP*)2(μ-O)2(H2O)4](ClO4)4 (1) complex, has been synthesised using a suitably designed septadentate ligand framework (HPTP*H = 1,3-bis(bis((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl)amino)propan-2-ol). The newly prepared complex 1 was characterised using multiple spec...

The developed bifunctional NNN-Ru complex features a high catalytic efficiency for the selective production of hydrogen and glycolic acid from ethylene glycol under mild reaction conditions, where a TON of 6395 was achieved. Tuning the reaction conditions afforded further dehydrogenation of the organic substrate with higher hydrogen production, and...

New Magnus' green salt (MGS) analogues, [M(dabdOH)2][MCl4]·2H2O (dabdOH = (2S,3S)-2,3-diaminobutane-1,4-diol; M = Pd (1) and M = Pt(2)), in which [M(dabdOH)2]2+ and [MCl4]2- are stacked alternately to form linear chains, were obtained as hexagonal plate crystals. The hexagonal shape and large crystal size are unprecedented features as MGS analogues...

A chemical bottom-up approach for single-atomic-layered materials like graphene is attractive due to the possibility of introducing functions. This article includes the synthesis and properties of borophene-oxide and metalladithiolene layers, which are reported as inorganic materials. They have graphene-like two-dimensional networks that enable con...

We report on high Mg2+ conduction in a metal-organic framework (MOF), UiO-66, under organic vapors. We prepared a Mg2+-containing MOF, UiO-66⊃{Mg(TFSI)2}1.0 (TFSI- = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide), including Mg2+ carriers in three-dimensional pores. The compound showed a superionic conductivity above 10-4 S cm-1 under MeCN and MeOH vapors.

A series of organometallic Re(I)(L)(CO)3Br complexes with 4'-substituted terpyridine ligands (L) has been synthesised as electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction. The complexes' spectroscopic characterisation and computationally optimised geometry demonstrate a facial geometry around Re(I) with three cis COs and the terpyridine ligand coordinating in a b...

New solid compounds A3-xGaO4H1-y (A = Sr, Ba; x ∼0.15, y ∼0.3), which are the first oxyhydrides containing gallium ions, have been synthesized by high-pressure synthesis. Powder X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments revealed that the series adopts an anti-perovskite structure consisting of hydride-anion-centered HA6 octahedra with tetrahedral G...
