Hemi-B16N16 capped zigzag boron-nitride nanotube is introduced, and its Kekulé count is studied. With a bond-allocating and coding scheme, recurrence formulas are established as well as for the case of a hemi-B36N36 capped zigzag nanotube. Numerical results reveal that the Kekulé counts increase exponentially with respect to the number of layers in the nanotubes concerned.

Developing and investigating advanced multifunctional materials with magnetic properties as candidates for assembling spin qubits for quantum computing is imperative. A new polytopic ligand based on oxamate and aniline was used to promote the synthesis of three neutral homometallic lanthanide-coordinated polymers. New complexes with the formula {Ln(phox)(DMSO)(HO)}, where Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), and Tb (3) [phox = -(phenyl)oxamate and DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide], were synthesized and well characterized by spectroscopic methods as well as X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Luminescent stability is a vital factor that dictates the application of lanthanide luminescent materials. Designing luminescent lanthanide cluster nodes that form an extended framework with predictable linking patterns may help enhance the structural stability of the lanthanide complexes and hence lead to improved luminescent stability. Herein, we report a series of one-dimensional (1D) rare-earth metal-organic framework compounds, {Ln(μ-OH)(TC4A)(HO)(CHO)(HCOO)(HCOOH)}·CHOH (Ln = Sm (), Eu (), Tb (), Dy (); = 1-5), based on double thiacalix[4]arene-capped Ln(μ-OH)(TC4A) nodes.

The crystal architecture of TiO was successfully tailored a low-temperature (≤200 °C) hydrothermal process in the presence of d-mannitol for feasible applications in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and heterogeneous catalysis. In the development of anatase-TiO (A-TiO), d-mannitol does not merely acts as a complexing agent to manage the zigzag chains of octahedral TiO with dominant edge sharing but also performs as a capping agent by influencing the hydrolysis process during nucleation, as confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering studies. After physical measurements, the as-synthesized nanocrystallites (NCs) of A-TiO were used in DSSCs, where a fascinating power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.

Full exploitation of graphene's superior properties requires the ability to precisely control its morphology and edge structures. We present such a structure-tailoring approach via controlled atom removal from graphene edges. With the use of a graphitic-carbon-capped tungsten nanoelectrode as a noncontact "milling" tool in a transmission electron microscope, graphene edge atoms approached by the tool tip are locally evaporated, thus allowing a freestanding graphene sheet to be tailored with high precision and flexibility.

To suppress the volume expansion and thus improve the performance of antimonene as a promising anode for lithium-ion batteries, we have systematically studied the stability, structural and electronic properties of the antimonene capped with graphene (G/Sb heterostructure) upon the intercalation and diffusion of Li atoms by first-principles calculations based on van der Waals (vdW) corrected density functional theory. G/Sb exhibits higher Young's modulus (armchair: 145.20, zigzag: 144.
