Article Synopsis
  • - Water pollution is a significant issue for human health and sustainable development, and photocatalytic degradation is a promising method to remove organic dyes from wastewater, requiring the right catalyst.
  • - Researchers synthesized three new lanthanide complexes using triphenylphosphine oxide and phosphomolybdic acid; these complexes showed high stability and effective photocatalytic performance in degrading methylene blue (MB) with complex 2 achieving a remarkable 99.50% removal rate.
  • - The study explored the photocatalytic mechanism and the impact of different dye concentrations and types; it also introduced terahertz spectroscopy as a novel technique to evaluate the differences between similar lanthanide-organic complexes.

Photo-induced variation of magnetism from ligand-based electron transfer has been extensively studied because of its potential applications in magneto-optical memory devices, light-responsive switches, and high-density information storage materials. In this review, we discussed the progress in the photo-induced variation of magnetism in coordination polymers with ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT), ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) and internal ligand charge transfer (ILCT), which provides fundamentals for the rational design of multi-functional materials. We also discussed the design and synthetic strategy of such molecule-based materials and gave views on the current challenges and growth trends in this field.

A series of rare earth complexes containing (α-PWO) and PO ligand are synthesized by water bath in 70 °C, [Ln(OPPh)(HO)](PWO)·4CHCN (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Ho 1-7) (OPPh = Triphenylphosphine oxide, {PW} = phosphotungstic acid). The precise structures are confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction and the result shows all complexes are isostructural. Complexes 1-7 are fully characterized by PXRD, FT-IR, TGA, UV diffuse reflectance spectra and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS).

A versatile method for the rapid synthesis of diverse functionalized pyrazolines has been developed based on copper-mediated aminofunctionalization of β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones. The scope of this strategy encompasses a range of difunctionalization reactions: aminoazidation, aminohalogenation, and aminothiocyanation. These reactions provide straightforward access to a series of useful pyrazoline building blocks containing various functional groups that are hard to access traditionally.
