Synthesis of framework materials possessing specific spatial structures or containing functional ligands has attracted tremendous attention. Herein, a halogen hydrogen-bonded organic framework (XHOF) is fabricated by using Cl ions as central connection nodes to connect organic ligands, 7,7,8,8-tetraaminoquinodimethane (TAQ), by forming a Cl···H hydrogen bond structure. Unlike metallic node-linked MOFs, covalent bond-linked COFs, and intermolecular hydrogen bond-linked HOFs, XHOFs represent a different kind of crystalline framework.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers have developed a new photocatalytic system using an earth-abundant complex made from phytic acid nickel (PA-Ni) and polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) to improve solar energy efficiency.
  • This system shows a significant performance boost at near-infrared wavelengths, particularly at 940 nm, achieving a high apparent quantum efficiency of 2.8%.
  • The new system's hydrogen production is remarkably enhanced, reaching levels comparable to platinum-supported alternatives, while remaining cost-effective and stable for potential sustainable energy applications.*
