Integrating controllable spin states into single-molecule magnets (SMMs) enables precise manipulation of magnetic interactions at a molecular level, but remains a synthetic challenge. Herein, we developed a 3d-4f metallacrown (MC) magnet [DyNi(quinha)(sal)(py)](ClO) ⋅ 4HO (Hquinha=quinaldichydroxamic acid, Hsal=5-chlorosalicylaldehyde) wherein a square planar Ni is stabilized by chemical stacking. Thioacetal modification was employed via post-synthetic ligand substitutions and yielded [DyNi(quinha)(saldt)(py)](ClO) ⋅ 3HO (Hsaldt=4-chloro-2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)phenol).

Ferroelastic materials have gained widespread attention as promising candidates for mechanical switches, shape memory, and information processing. Their phase-transition mechanisms usually originate from conventional order-disorder and/or displacive types, while those involving dynamic coordination bonds are still scarce. Herein, based on a strategic molecular design of organic cations, we report three new polar hybrid crystals with a generic formula of AA'RbBiCl (A = A' = MeSO for 1; A = MeSO and A' = MeN for 2; A = A' = MeNNH for 3).

Article Synopsis
  • - Hybrid ferroelastics show promise for use in mechanical switches, particularly due to interesting high-temperature ferroelastic phase transitions that are not well understood at the molecular level.
  • - Two new polar hybrid ferroelastic materials, A[MBr] (specifically using Te and Sn), were created, demonstrating different thermal-induced ferroelastic phase transitions based on the size of the anions involved.
  • - The study highlights how the size and interactions of anionic species can influence the nature of phase transitions in ferroelastics, offering insights for developing new multifunctional materials.

Article Synopsis
  • - Ge-based hybrid perovskite materials are promising for second harmonic generation (SHG) due to their unique non-centrosymmetric structures from geometry and lone-pair effects.
  • - A new family of 3D Ge-based bromide perovskites (AGeBr) has been identified, with specific compounds like MAGeBr showing significantly enhanced SHG intensity, outperforming potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
  • - The improved SHG responses are linked to the displacement of Ge atoms and strong interactions between Ge's lone pair electrons and polar cations, offering valuable insights for future material design.

ABX-type molecular perovskites provide an important platform to tune phase transitions, via judiciously choosing A-, B-, and X-site components, to approach advanced functional materials for applications. Although tetrafluoroborate can act as X-site component to assemble ten instances of ABX molecular perovskites, only two of them possess hexagonal perovskite structures. Herein, we report two tetrafluoroborate-based hexagonal molecular perovskites, A[Na(BF)], by judiciously choosing two different A-site cations: 1-methyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.

Our exploration of novel inorganic solids with large birefringence in the d10 Metal-Te4+-SO42- system afforded four new sulfate tellurites, Ga2(TeO3)(SO4)(OH)2, In2(TeO3)2(SO4)(H2O), Zn4(Te3O7)2(SO4)2(H2O) and Hg3(Te3O8)(SO4). Notably, Hg3(Te3O8)(SO4) exhibits the largest birefringence at 532 nm (0.184) and 1064 nm (0.

In previous work, we applied the rotation-limiting strategy and introduced a substituent at the 3-position of the pyrazolo [3,4-]pyrimidin-4-amine as the affinity element to interact with the deeper hydrophobic pocket, discovered a series of novel quinazolinones as potent PI3Kδ inhibitors. Among them, the indole derivative 3 is one of the most selective PI3Kδ inhibitors and the 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl derivative 4 is a potent and selective dual PI3Kδ/γ inhibitor. In this study, we replaced the carbonyl group in the quinazolinone core with a sulfonyl group, designed a series of novel 2-benzo[][1,2,4]thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives as PI3Kδ inhibitors.

Two new indium sulfate tellurites, namely, In(SO)(TeO)(OH)(HO) and In(SO)(TeO)F(HO), were synthesized by hydrothermal method in a one-pot reaction. Their pure phase yields have been successfully optimized to 76% and 21%, respectively. In(SO)(TeO)(OH)(HO) crystallized in centrosymmetric (CS) space group 2/, while In(SO)(TeO)F(HO) formed a non-centrosymmetric (NCS) and chiral space group 222.

The first examples of bismuth fluoride selenites with d -TM/Te polyhedrons, namely, Bi TiO F (SeO ) (1), Bi NbO F (SeO ) (2), Bi TeO F (TeO ) (SeO ) (3), Bi F (MoO )(SeO ) (4) and Bi ZrO F (SeO ) (5) have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal reactions by aliovalent substitution. The five new compounds feature three different types of structures. Compounds 1-3, containing Ti , Nb and Te respectively, are isostructural, exhibiting a new 3D framework composed of a 3D bismuth oxyfluoride architecture, with intersecting tunnels occupied by d -TM/Te octahedrons and selenite/tellurite groups.

With different transition metal (TM) complexes as structure directing agents or building units, three new multinary chalcognidometalates based on T3 supertetrahedral nanocluster of [Mn2Ga4Sn4S20](8-) have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. In compound Mn2Ga4Sn4S20[Mn2(en)5]2·4H2O (, en = ethylenediamine), the neighboring [Mn2Ga4Sn4S20](8-) cores were bridged by two pairs of [Mn2(en)5](4+) complex cations via Mn-S bonds to form one-dimensional (1D) neutral chains. Compound Mn2Ga4Sn4S20[Mn(dien)2]4·2H2O (, dien = diethylenetriamine) contained discrete [Mn2Ga4Sn4S20](8-) cores separated by [Mn(dien)2](2+) cations.
