Article Abstract

Seven new mononuclear complexes [Fe(aqin)(NCS)] (1), [Fe(aqin)(NCSe)] (2), [Fe(aqin)(NCBH)] (3), [Fe(2-pic)(NCS)] (4), [Fe(2-pic)(NCSe)] (5), [Fe(2-pic)(NCBH)] (6), [Fe(tpa)(NCBH)] (7), [aqin = 8-aminoquinoline, 2-pic = 2-picolylamine, tpa = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine)] are investigated. Structurally, except for 3, which affords a trans-configuration, all the complexes adopt a cis-configuration. Their propensity to crystallize without any solvent molecules facilitates the study of the influence of the "pure" ligand on spin-crossover (SCO) characteristics. Magnetically, 1, 2, and 4 remain in the high-spin state, and 3, 5, 6, and 7 display SCO with transition temperatures T of approximately 310, 162, 262, and 400 K, respectively. The T values of all the complexes except 3 follow the sequence of ligand-field strength, whereas the T value of 3 is increased to room temperature, beyond that of the whole cis-[Fe(2-pic)(NCE)] family. Theoretical modeling based on the harmonic approximation via Gaussian and periodic DFT+U+D3 calculations via the QE reveals that the lower distortion effect of the trans-configuration resulted in the LS stabilization increasing T.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

The polymerization mechanism and the identification of key oligomer intermediates during the thermal condensation of benzoguanamine (BG) remain unclear. Herein, we report a novel mixed thermal condensation strategy using BG and a pre-synthesized dimer to selectively synthesize the trimer (BG) with a significantly enhanced yield. Comprehensive characterization techniques confirm the formation of a linear molecular structure for (BG).

A convenient protocol for the synthesis of selenated benzoxepine derivatives via iron(III)-catalyzed 7-endo-trig cyclization has been first established via reaction of 1,7-diene containing nonactivated allyl and dialkyl diselenides under room temperature and air conditions. Research has shown that different dialkyl diselenides could react with a wide range of 1,7-diene to achieve seven-membered products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, this synthesis was directed to obtain the desired target products, indicating that this approach has an excellent chemical selectivity.

Room temperature ionic liquids show great promise as electrolytes in various technological applications, such as energy storage or electrotunable lubrication. These applications are particularly intriguing due to the specific behavior of ionic liquids in nanoconfinement. While previous research has been focused on optimizing the required characteristics through the selection of electrolyte properties, the contribution of confining material properties in these systems has been largely overlooked.

A visible-light-induced cascade cyclization of isocyanobiaryls with hydrosilanes has been developed for the synthesis of 6-silylated phenanthridines. Readily available hydrosilanes were employed as silyl radical precursors under room-temperature conditions. The merits of the transformation include operational simplicity, mild conditions, high atom economy, and good functional group compatibility.
