Nanosecond-Lived Excimer Observation in a Crystal of a Rhodium(I) Complex via Time-Resolved X-ray Laue Diffraction.

The rare observation of transient Rh···Rh excimer formation in a single crystal is reported. The estimated excited-state lifetime at 100 K is 2 ns, which makes it the shortest-lived small-molecule species caught experimentally using the laser-pump/X-ray-probe time-resolved Laue method. Upon excitation with 390 nm laser light, the intermolecular Rh···Rh distance decreases from 3.

Pressure-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal nitrite ligand isomerisation accompanied by a piezochromic effect.

High-pressure structural study of a piezochromic crystal of a rare di--nitrito nickel(II) complex supported by computational analysis is presented. The examined system is not photoswitchable, however, in the 0-6.2 GPa pressure range the crystal undergoes two phase-transitions accompanied by a colour change and the nitrite ligand isomerisation, which is unique.

Stability of Ni-Fe-Layered Double Hydroxide Under Long-Term Operation in AEM Water Electrolysis.

Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) is an attractive method for green hydrogen production. It allows the use of non-platinum group metal catalysts and can achieve performance comparable to proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers due to recent technological advances. While current systems already show high performances with available materials, research gaps remain in understanding electrode durability and degradation behavior.

Exploring Photoswitchable Properties of Two Nitro Nickel(II) Complexes with (,,)-Donor Ligands and Their Copper(II) Analogues.

Two photoswitchable nickel(II) nitro coordination compounds and their copper(II) analogues are reported. In all these systems, the metal center is chelated by (,,)-donor ligands containing either 2-picolylamine or 8-aminoquinoline fragments. The studied compounds were thoroughly investigated using crystallographic and spectroscopic techniques supplemented by computational analysis.

Innovation strategy on the example of companies using bamboo.

Innovations and new technologies allow companies to function, work, and develop in an ever-changing environment. The article discusses the importance of innovative strategies and presents the results of research carried out on the role of each employee group (CEO, R+D department, other workers) in implementing innovations, depending on the size of the enterprise: micro company, mini company, medium company, and large company. A look not only through the prism of the size of the organization, but also by the groups of people (knowledge group) responsible for innovation is a novelty of the research and fills the gap in research on innovation of enterprises.
