The benefit of enriching solid-electrolyte interface with fluorine atoms through the use of fluorinated additives into the electrolyte composition has recently gained popularity for anode materials used in secondary lithium-ion batteries. Another strategy is to provide these fluorine atoms via surface fluorination of the electrode material, particularly for multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/SnO-based composites where fluorination must act selectively on SnO. Our study presents two methods of surface fluorination applied on MWCNT/SnO, one using F(g) and the other XeF(s).

In the monomeric title complex, [Co(C6H8O4)(C10H9N3)(H2O)2]·3H2O, the distorted octa-hedral CoN2O4 coordination environment comprises two N-atom donors from the bidentate di-pyridyldi-amine ligand, two O-atom donors from one of the carboxyl-ate groups of the bidentate chelating adipate ligand and two water mol-ecules. In addition, there are three solvent water mol-ecules which are involved in both intra- and inter-unit O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, which together with an amine-water N-H⋯O hydrogen bond produce a three-dimensional framework.

In the structure of the title compound, (C₅H₇N₂)[Cr(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], two crystallographically independent formula units are present. Both chromium atoms are six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two chelating equatorial oxalato ligands and two axial water mol-ecules. The [Cr(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]⁻ anions and C₅H₇N₂ ⁺ cations are linked through a complex three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network consisting of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O inter-actions.

The structure of the title compound is isotypic with that of Sr(5)Zr(3)F(22) and can be described as being composed of layers with composition [Zr(3)F(20)](8-) made up from two different [ZrF(8)](4-) square anti-prisms (one with site symmetry 2) by corner-sharing. The layers extending parallel to the (001) plane are further linked by Ca(2+) cations, forming a three-dimensional network.

In the present study, we report the synthesis of new pyrrolocarbazoles substituted at the N-10 position. When their ability to inhibit Pim kinase activities were evaluated in in vitro assays, we observed that this nitrogen atom can be substituted without loss of Pim-1 and Pim-3 inhibitory potencies.
