Covalent organic frameworks writ large framework (COF) materials have been difficult to characterize structurally and exploit because they tend form powders or amorphous materials. Ma et al. studied a variety of three-dimensional COFs based on imine linkages (see the Perspective by Navarro). They found that addition aniline inhibited nucleation allowed growth crystals enough for single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies. Evans describe two-step process in which nanoscale seeds boronate...
A two step programmed method is developed to load mono dispersed SnO2 nanoparticles onto single layer graphene sheets. The SnO2-G composite has near dispersion of the nanocrystals as well a high content over 60 wt%. These outstanding features are desirable and enable material be an excellent anode for Li-ion batteries.
Grain boundary management is critical to the performance and stability of polycrystalline perovskite solar cells (PSCs), especially large-area devices. However, typical passivators are insulating in nature limit carrier transport. Here, we design a supramolecular binder for grain boundaries simultaneously passivate defects promote hole transport across boundaries. By doping monoamine porphyrins (MPs, M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or H) into films, MPs self-assemble supramolecules at Organic cations...
Owing to its diverse activation processes including single-electron transfer (SET) and hydrogen-atom (HAT), visible-light photocatalysis has emerged as a sustainable efficient platform for organic synthesis.

Over past decade, there have been remarkable advances in enantioselective bond via combined with conventional asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we summarize involving discuss two main pathways...
Functional microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are attractive in a wide range of applications including gas separation, catalysis, and energy storage. There is lack cost-effective processes to produce functional MOPs at industrial scale, which fact limits their practical applications. Here, we propose new low-cost strategy, based on the Scholl reaction, can directly link rigid building blocks obtain with high surface area highly structures. More importantly, this method suitable for various...
Methane and carbon dioxide are known greenhouse gases, the conversion of these two C1-building blocks into useful fuels chemicals is a subject great importance. By solid-state NMR spectroscopy, we found that methane can be co-converted on zinc-modified H–ZSM-5 zeolite (denoted as Zn/H–ZSM-5) to form acetic acid at low temperature range 523–773 K. Solid-state 13C 1H MAS investigation indicates unique nature bifunctional Zn/H–ZSM-5 catalyst responsible for this highly selective transformation....
Metal-nanocluster-doped porous materials are attracting considerable research attention due to their specific catalytic performance. In this study, core–shell metal–organic frameworks@covalent organic polymer (MOF@COP) nanocomposites were formed by the covalent linking of chemically stable COP on surface size-selective UiO-66-NH2. Pd nanoclusters with an average diameter ∼0.8 nm successfully confined in UiO-66-NH2@COP, and obtained nanoreactor, referred as UiO-66-NH2@COP@Pd, exhibited...
Growth of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as single crystals is extremely challenging. Inaccessibility open-structured single-crystal COFs prevents the exploration structure-oriented applications. Herein we report for first time a non-interpenetrated COF, LZU-306, which possesses open structure constructed exclusively via assembly. With high void volume 80 %, LZU-306 was applied to investigate intrinsic dynamics reticulated tetraphenylethylene (TPE) individual aggregation-induced-emission...

Knowledge of adsorbed gas dynamics within microporous solids is crucial for the design more efficient capture materials. We demonstrate that 17O solid-state NMR (SSNMR) experiments allow one to obtain accurate information on CO2 metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), using CPO-27-M (M = Mg, Zn) as examples. Variable-temperature (VT) SSNMR spectra acquired from 150 403 K yield key parameters defining motions. VT CPO-27-Zn indicate relatively weaker metal–oxygen binding and increased dynamics. a...
