Electrocatalytic nitrite reduction is of great significance for wastewater treatment and value-added chemicals synthesis. This review highlights the latest progress in electrochemical nitrite reduction to produce two types of products,...
Electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate is considered as an attractive approach for ammonia synthesis. Herein, Cu clusters homogeneously supported on TiO2 nanosheets with abundant oxygen vacancies (10Cu/TiO2-x) are prepared as excellent...
CoSe2 ultrathin nanomeshes with abundant selenium vacancies have been synthesized through a plasma-exfoliation method and exhibit an excellent OER performance.
The formation, crystal structures, and properties of a series of three-dimensional (3-D) Cu(II) coordination polymers, [[Cu(L)2(H2O)2](PF6)2(H2O)(1.25)]n (1), [[CuL(N3)2](H2O)(1.5)]n (2), and [[CuL(H2O)(SO4)](H2O)2]n (3), with an angular bridging ligand 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) are reported. Complex 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4(1)/a space group (a = b = 13.462(2) A, c = 46.47(1) A, Z = 8), complex 2 in the orthorhombic Pna2(1) space group (a = 6.379(2) A, b = 10.060(3) A, c = 27.232(9) A, Z = 4), and complex 3 in the orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1) space group (a = 5.510(2) A, b = 10.576(4) A, c = 28.34(1) A, Z = 4). Different polymeric frameworks are obtained by only varying the counterions. These include the 2-fold interpenetrated diamondoid structure of 1, the acentric alpha-Po network of 2, and the chiral open framework of 3 with (6(3)).(6(9).8) topology. The interesting anion-exchange, porous, and magnetic properties of these coordination supramolecules have been investigated in detail.
The synthesis and crystal structure of the three-dimensional coordination polymer of an angular dipyridyl ligand 2,5-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) and Cu(ClO(4))(2), exhibiting the first Cu(II) diamondoid network with 2-fold interpenetration, ([Cu(L)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(OH)(H(2)O)(2.5))(n) (1), together with the Cu(OAc)(2) complex of L, [Cu(L)(2)(OAc)(2)(H(2)O)](H(2)O)(2)(CH(3)OH) (2), with an unexpected mononuclear structure, are reported. Crystal data for 1: tetragonal, space group I4(1)/a, a = b = 13.477(3) A, c = 46.167(13) A, Z = 8. Crystal data for 2: triclinic, space group P(-)1, a = 7.847(2) A, b = 13.189(4) A, c = 15.948(5) A, alpha = 75.225(7) degrees, beta = 79.945(6) degrees, gamma = 77.540(5) degrees, Z = 2. The magnetic properties and anion effect are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
