A new metal–organic framework named BUT-206 has been successfully synthesized, which shows a high photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of crystal violet without using any photosensitizer or cocatalyst under UV-irradiation.

BUT-26, synthesized via a ligand exchange reaction, can detect trace amounts of Cu²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions in aqueous solutions.

Construction of zeolite type framework is of broad interest and mainly achieved by using imidazolate linkers. Incorporation of multiple linkers/functionalities into this unique type of framework would potentially expand its...

In biological systems Chirality is important property from small molecules to macromolecules. The construction of homochiral coordination supramolecules in crystal and helical delivers the connection of molecular and macromolecular chirality. Complexity and properties in the presence of cadmium ion and bpe auxiliary ligand for bio-molecular guanosine-5- monophosphate disodium salt (GMP) was studied. The two Complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated the impact of auxiliary ligand bpe, hydroxy group on the sugar motif and pH for coordination of GMP ligands. The interaction of mixed ligands for growth and advancement of chiral complexes was controlled by the alteration of pH values for coordination of guanosine-5-monophosphate nucleotide with cadmium Cd (II) metal. The chirality of complexes 1 and 2 was studied with solid circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, including supramolecular chirality and extended auxiliary ligand (EAC) combining with the crystal structure analysis. The various hydrogen bonding and auxiliary ligand are the special means of transporting chirality from isolated molecules to dynamic supramolecular three-dimensional designs of GMP nucleotide crystals. The research results will be benefit to the controlling supramolecular assembly with well-defined structure and properties.
