Ammonium ions (NH4+), as non-metallic charge carriers, have spurred great research interest in the realm of aqueous batteries. Unfortunately, most inorganic host materials used these batteries are still limited by sluggish diffusion kinetics. Here, we report a unique hydrogen bond chemistry to employ covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for NH4+ ion storage, which achieves high capacity 220.4 mAh g-1 at current density 0.5 A g-1. Combining theoretical simulation and analysis, universal...
Abstract New covalent organic frameworks (COFs), encompassing redox‐functionalized moieties and an aza‐fused π‐conjugated system, are designed, synthesized, deployed as negative electrodes in asymmetric supercapacitors (ASC), for the first time. The Hex‐Aza‐COFs synthesized based on solvothermal condensation reaction of cyclohexanehexone aromatic tetramines with benzoquinone (Hex‐Aza‐COF‐2) or phenazine (Hex‐Aza‐COF‐3). show a specific capacitance 585 F g −1 Hex‐Aza‐COF‐2 663 Hex‐Aza‐COF‐3...

The successful integration ligands with similar structural features but notable chemical distinction afforded attainment highly efficient energy transfer (ET). Notably, very strong spectral overlap between emission spectrum...
In this work, we describe a highly efficient and reabsorption-free X-ray-harvesting system using luminescent metal-organic framework (MOF)-fluorescence chromophore composite films. The ultrafast time-resolved experiments density functional theory calculations demonstrate that nearly 100% energy transfer from MOF with high atomic number to an organic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) character can be achieved. Such unprecedented efficiency of interfacial the direct harnessing...
Abstract Aqueous magnesium ion‐based batteries have attracted significant research interest due to the two‐electron transfer process, small cation radius, low reduction potential as well inert hydrogen evolution reaction. However, high surface charge density of divalent Mg 2+ ions results in sluggish solid‐state diffusion kinetics, which significantly limits number host materials suitable for effective ion storage. Here, first time, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are explored high‐rate...
New molecular-weight-enlarged metathesis catalysts, which bear polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) tags, were synthesized and characterized.

It was found that membranes Starmem 228 PuraMem 280 successfully separate catalyst post-reaction mixtures to below 3 ppm. application of these POSS-tagged in a continuous also investigated.
Herein we report novel mesoporous zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with zeolitic sodalite (sod) topology. Zr-sod-ZMOF-1 and -2 are constructed based on a cantellation design strategy. Distinctly, organic linkers judiciously designed in order to promote the deployment of 12-coordinated Zr hexanuclear molecular building block (MBB) as tetrahedral secondary unit, prerequisite for zeolite-like nets. The resultant Zr-sod-ZMOFs exhibit mesopores diameter up ≈43 Å, while pore volume...

We demonstrate effectiveness by computationally evaluating properties sph-MOFs varying lengths linkers. Prominently, pinpoint...
Rational design of intricate multicomponent reticular structures is often hindered by the lack suitable blueprint nets. We established merged-net approach, proffering optimal balance between designability and complexity, as a systematic solution for rational assembly structures. In this work, methodically mapping node-net relationships among 53 basic edge-transitive nets, we conceived signature net map to identify merging pairs, resulting in enumeration merged developed practical algorithm...
Abstract A series of ruthenium catalysts has been screened in the self‐metathesis 1‐dodecene with and without addition benzoquinones. Many these demonstrated excellent selectivity yields as low 10 ppm catalyst loading. Reactions have conducted under decreased pressure or argon bubbling, which caused a tremendous increase yield examined process.
Readily available ethyl chlorofluoroacetate, when treated with a strong base, forms an α-chloro-α-fluorocarbanion that adds to nitroarenes at position ortho or para the nitro group formation of anionic σH adducts. Subsequent base-induced β-elimination HCl proceeds selectively give nitrobenzylic α-fluorocarbanions and, upon protonation, α-fluoro-α-nitroarylacetates.

Highly luminescent metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently received great attention due to their potential applications as sensors and light-emitting devices. In these MOFs, the highly ordered fluorescent organic linkers positioning prevents excited-state self-quenching rotational motion, enhancing light-harvesting properties. Here, exciton migration between with same chemical structure but different protonation degrees in Zr-based MOFs was explored deciphered using ultrafast laser...
