Mechanical-chemical failure of SiO anodes, driven by severe volume expansion (≈200%) and the associated strain propagation during cycling, causes pronounced capacity decay and kinetic hysteresis, thereby limiting practical application.Herein, natural...
A metal-mediated migration of pnictogen atoms Pn (Pn = P, As) to form phosphaazaallene and arsaazaallene complexes Cp*(CO)(IPr)Ru–Pn=C=N–Xyl results from clean reactions of the ruthenium carbene complex Cp*(XylNC)(IPr)RuCl ( 1 , XylNC...
Herein, we report an azobenzene-based pyridylimine ligand that self-assembles with Pd(II) ions into a well-defined double-walled triangular metallacycle, [Pd₃L₆]⁶⁺. The precise ligand design allows for selective Pd(II)-driven self-assembly via pyridyl...
A unified half-metallocene platform reveals how metal identity, ligand electronics, and proton availability govern the divergence between metal-hydrides for CO 2 reduction and Cp* protonation for H 2 evolution.
This study reports on three azo-functionalized zero-field Co( ii ) single-ion magnets exhibiting large axial anisotropy, slow magnetic relaxation, and reversible light-induced switching, representing the first example of such photoresponsive SIMs.
Achieving predictable assembly of metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) with targeted architectures from designed building blocks is a persistent fundamental challenge. Ligand engineering constitutes a pathway toward addressing this challenge. This work...

A charge transfer strategy mediated by guest molecules in MOF pores can effectively enhance the output of frictional power generation, which provides a new perspective for the development of MOF-based triboelectric materials.
This study provides direct evidence that a heterocyclic ligand backbone influences polyethylene melting point and branching density, offering a blueprint for designing nickel catalysts that yield polyolefins with controlled crystalline properties.
In this work, the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand in the archetypal organometallic erbium singleion magnet COTErCp* ( Er Me ) was replaced by a pentaphenylcyclopentadienyl ligand, affording a new complex COTErCp Ph5 ( 1Er ). With similar...
A novel Ru-based anticancer agent was developed for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer via combination of cytotoxic and anti-metastatic activities within a single molecular platform.
While the photoluminescence of (Et 2 NH 2 ) 3 SbCl 6 is diminished by thermal quenching and FRET, Sb 3+ doping of the (Et 2 NH 2 ) 3 InCl 6 phase performed by three distinct approaches (solution, melting–cooling, and solid state) improved PLQYs up to 86%.
Layered SiC/Fe 3 Si/C composite materials rich in heterogeneous interfaces were successfully prepared. Its layered structure optimized impedance matching and synergistically enhanced polarization, and magnetic losses, enabling broadband EMW absorption.
A zero-dimensional organic–inorganic material [C 5 H 8 NS] 2 [BiI 6 ] ( 1 ) was prepared. By chemically modifying and disrupting its symmetrical structure, [C 4 H 8 N 2 S] 4 [BiI 6 ][Bi 2 I 11 ]I 2 ( 2 ) was obtained, and ferroelectricity was achieved.
Axial ligand substitution enables modulation of photophysics in tin( iv ) corroles, governing singlet oxygen sensitization and photon upconversion activity.
Gas phase methods were used to obtain novel thermodynamic data and compared to theoretical calculations to help elucidate the role of actinide 5f electrons in bonding.
An iron porphyrin complex bearing benzoquinone moieties was developed for photochemical CO 2 reduction. Electrochemical and spectroscopic analyses revealed CO 2 capture by the benzoquinone moieties upon reduction, potentially facilitating proton transfer...
An antibacterial hydrogel was constructed through electrostatic co-assembly with lysozyme nanofiber, potassium oxalate and eugenol functionalization, enabling biofilm penetration, membrane disruption, and ionic homeostasis perturbation.
Modern strategies for the synthesis and characterization of reactive metal nitrenes that participate in nitrene-transfer catalysis are reviewed.
