Unexpected Photodriven Linker-to-Node Hole Transfer in a Zirconium-Based Metal-Organic Framework.

Zr(μ-O)(μ-OH) node cores are indispensable building blocks for almost all zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks. Consistent with the insulating nature of zirconia, they are generally considered electronically inert. Contrasting this viewpoint, we present spectral measurements and calculations indicating that emission from photoexcited NU-601, a six-connected Zr-based MOF, comes from both linker-centric locally excited and linker-to-node charge-transfer (CT) states.

Photocatalytic Semi-Hydrogenation of Acetylene to Polymer-Grade Ethylene with Molecular and Metal-Organic Framework Cobaloximes.

The semi-hydrogenation of acetylene in ethylene-rich gas streams is a high-priority industrial chemical reaction for producing polymer-grade ethylene. Traditional thermocatalytic routes for acetylene reduction to ethylene, despite progress, still require high temperatures and high H consumption, possess relatively low selectivity, and use a noble metal catalyst. Light-powered strategies are starting to emerge, given that they have the potential to use directly the abundant and sustainable solar irradiation, but are ineffective.

The effects of prosody and referent characteristics on novel noun learning in children.

Prosody is how words are spoken, often affecting the messages we convey. When prosody is relevant to the meaning, word learning is enhanced; however, it is unknown whether children attend to prosody that is not relevant to a word learning task (e.g.

Nitrogen-enriched flexible metal-organic framework for CO adsorption.

A novel MOF named [Zn(L)(DMF)] was synthesized using solvothermal methods from the reaction of the new linker (4,4',4''-(4,4',4''-(benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene))tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazole-4,1-diyl))tribenzoic acid) and Zn(NO)·6HO. This new MOF was characterized by means of different techniques: powder X-ray diffraction, N adsorption and desorption isotherms, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, suitable crystals were obtained, which allowed us to perform the X-Ray structure determination of this MOF.
