The cyanogel system involving PdCl(4)(2-) and the mixed-valence complex [(NC)(5)Fe(II)-CN-Pt(IV)(NH(3))(4)-NC-Fe(II)(CN)(5)](4-) is reported. The system has been characterized by UV-vis absorption, diffuse reflectance infrared, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Gelation occurs through coordination of Pd(II) to the nitrogen atom of terminal cyanide ligands in the mixed-valence complex. Irradiation into the Fe(II) --> Pt(IV) intervalent electron transfer (IT) band of [(NC)(5)Fe(II)-CN-Pt(IV)(NH(3))(4)-NC-Fe(II)(CN)(5)](4-) results in the formation of a variety of Prussian-blue-like species within the rigid cyanogel matrix. Photochemical and dark mechanisms involving coupled cyanide loss and Fe(II) oxidation are proposed for the formation of Prussian-blue-like species. The optical contrast between irradiated and nonirradiated regions of the gel enables photochemical image generation with at least 12 microm resolution. This capability is demonstrated through the production of a series of diffraction gratings in cyanogel samples.

Monocyclic π-aromatic compounds are ubiquitous throughout almost all fields of natural sciences-as synthons in industrial processes, as ligands of metal complexes for catalysis or sensing and as bioactive molecules. Planar organocycles stand out through their specific way of overcoming electron deficiency by a non-localizable set of (4n + 2)π electrons. By contrast, all-metal aromatic monocycles are still rare, as metal atoms prefer to form clusters with multiply bonded atoms instead.

Article Synopsis
- Vanadium-based oxides show potential as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries, but their activation typically takes hundreds of cycles to reach optimal performance.
- The authors propose a new electrical activation strategy that significantly speeds up this activation process, allowing peak capacity to be achieved in just 5 to 25 cycles, even at high current densities.
- The study highlights how this method improves ion transport and alters the material's structure and behavior, paving the way for more efficient and practical application of vanadium oxide cathodes in zinc-ion batteries.

Artificially synthesized nanozymes exhibit enzymatic activity similar to that of natural enzymes. However, in the complex tumor microenvironment, their diversity and catalytic activity show significant variations, limiting their effectiveness in catalytic therapy. Developing artificial enzymes with multiple enzymatic activities and spatiotemporal controllable catalytic abilities is of great clinical significance.

In this report, we present a structurally and spectroscopically characterized diorganocopper system in three distinct oxidation states: [CuCu] (), [CuCu] (), and [CuCu] (). These states are stabilized by a macrocyclic ligand scaffold featuring two square-planar coordination {C N }. We have analyzed the geometric and electronic structures using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and multiple spectroscopic methods including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV-vis, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies, in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

In this contribution we are introducing a Variable Bridging Ligand (VBL) strategy for the preparation of heterometallic complexes. One synthetic challenge associated with other methods described in the existing literature stems from the fact that if there is a need to change the donor groups on a metalloligand, both the initial ligand and the resulting metalloligand must be synthesized all over again. To circumvent this problem, we reasoned that if a metal complex would have one labile ligand that can be easily replaced by various bridging polytopic species, several metalloligands can thus be generated starting from the same starting material.
