New synthetic hybrid materials and their increasing complexity have placed growing demands on crystal growth for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Unfortunately, not all chemical systems are conducive to the isolation of single crystals traditional characterization. Here, small-molecule serial femtosecond crystallography (smSFX) at atomic resolution (0.833 Å) is employed characterize microcrystalline silver n-alkanethiolates with various alkyl chain lengths free electron laser...
Crystal Engineering The ease of functionalization organic groups attached to inorganic layers in metal–organic chalcogenolates (MOChas) makes them interesting targets for crystal engineering. In article number 2300110, Aaron S. Brewster, James Nathan Hohman, and co-workers report the preparation microcrystalline powders silver 2-, 3-, 4-fluorobenzenethiolates resolve their structures by small-molecule serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography. These compounds enable emergence role...
Understanding how chemical modifications alter the atomic-scale organization of materials is fundamental importance in engineering and target considerable efforts computational prediction. Incorporating covalent non-covalent interactions designing crystals while "piggybacking" on driving force molecular self-assembly has augmented our to understand emergence complex structures using directed synthesis. Here, we prepared microcrystalline powders silver 2-, 3-, 4-fluorobenzenethiolates...
We report nucleophilic displacement reactions that can increase the dimensionality or coordination number of silver-based metal-organic chalcogenolates (MOChas). MOChas are crystalline ensembles containing one-dimensional (1D) two-dimensional (2D) inorganic topologies with structures and properties defined by choice metal, chalcogen, ligand. be readily prepared from a variety small-molecule ligands metals metal ions. Although offer ligand diversity, most reported examples use relatively...
Nickel sulfides have unique and diverse structural features, making them ideal for energy conversion storage. This research focuses on the synthesis characterization of nickel sulfide thin films nanocrystals from ethyl xanthate complex using spin-coating solventless methods. The (C6H10S4NiO2) was characterized Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies as well thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). NiS nanoparticles were...
Abstract X‐ray free electron laser (XFEL) microcrystallography and synchrotron single‐crystal crystallography are used to evaluate the role of organic substituent position on optoelectronic properties metal–organic chalcogenolates (MOChas). MOChas crystalline 1D 2D semiconducting hybrid materials that have varying depending composition, topology, structure. While attracted much interest, small crystal sizes impede routine structure determination. A series constitutional isomers where aryl...
