Photo-thermo synergistic permanganate decomposition over a hydrolytically stable Co(II)-MOF.

Photo-thermo catalysis that combines photo- and thermo-catalysis has emerged as an attractive approach for effective and economical elimination of pollutants. Herein, we fabricated a robust, highly water stable 2D Co(II)-MOF photo-thermo catalyst towards the decomposition of permanganate anions. It has been demonstrated that Co(II)-MOF exhibits excellent catalytic capacity, good selectivity and incredible reusability for degrading MnO.

Multiple fluorescence response behaviors towards antibiotics and bacteria based on a highly stable Cd-MOF.

The abuse of antibiotics has triggered the rise of drug-resistance bacteria, which has seriously threatened public health globally. As a result, carrying out efficient and accurate antibiotic and bacteria identification are quite significant but challenge. Herein, an unprecedented Cd-MOF-based sensor, [CdL] [1, HL = 4-(2-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl) isophthalic acid] with multiple fluorescence response behaviours towards antibiotics and bacteria was developed.

Substituent changes in the salen ligands of CuNa-complexes to induce various structures and catalytic activities towards 2-imidazolines from nitriles and 1,2-diaminopropane.

Based on various comparable salen ligands, three synthesized CuIINaI-complexes present efficient catalytic activities for the coupling and cyclization reaction of 1,2-diaminopropane with nitriles towards 2-imidazolines. The catalytic results show that salen ligands with an electron-donating substituent and small steric hindrance improve the catalytic activity.

Thermally triggered solid-state single-crystal-to-single-crystal structural transformation accompanies property changes.

The 1D complex [(CuL0.5H2O)⋅H2O]n (1) (H4L = 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3',6,6'-tetracarboxylic acid) undergoes an irreversible thermally triggered single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation to produce the 3D anhydrous complex [CuL0.5]n (2).

[Electroluminescence character of novel unsymmetry substituted phthalocyanines].

The authors for the first time fabricated OLEDs employing novel phthalocynines: 2(3)-(p-tert-butylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanine(1), 2(3),16(17)-di(p-tert-butyl-phenoxy) copper phthalocyanine(2) and 2(3), 9(10), 16(17)-tri (p-tert-butylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanine(3) as light emitting layer, and their electroluminescence character was studied. The final structures of three-layer OLEDs based on copper 2(3)-(p-tert-butylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanine (1) and 2(3), 9(10), 16(17)-tri (p-tert-butylphenoxy) copper phthalocyanine(3) were ITO/NPB(40 nm)/Pc(30 nm)/AlQ(43.5 nm)/LiF (0.
