An out-of-plane dimeric MnIII quadridentate Schiff-base compound, [Mn2(salpn)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (salpn(2-) = N,N'-(propane)bis(salicylideneiminate)), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The crystal structure reveals that the [Mn2(salpn)2(H2O)2](2+) units are linked through weak H-bonds (OHwater...OPh) in one dimension along the c-axis, forming supramolecular chains. The exchange interaction between MnIII ions via the biphenolate bridge is ferromagnetic (J/kB = +1.8 K), inducing an ST = 4 ground state. This dinuclear unit possesses uni-axial anisotropy observed in the out-of-plane direction with DMn2/kB = -1.65 K. At low temperatures, this complex exhibits slow relaxation of its magnetization in agreement with a single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior. Interestingly, the intermolecular magnetic interactions along the one-dimensional organization, albeit weak (J'/kB = -0.03 K), influence significantly the thermally activated and quantum dynamics of this complex. Thus, unique features such as M vs H data with multiple steps, hysteresis effects, and peculiar relaxation time have been explained considering SMMs in small exchange-field perturbations and finite-size effects intrinsic to the chain arrangement. The magnetic properties of this new complex can be regarded as an intermediate behavior between SMM and single-chain magnet (SCM) properties.

For decades, extensive surfactant libraries have been developed to meet the requirements of downstream applications. However, achieving functional diversity has traditionally demanded a vast array of chemical motifs and synthetic pathways. Herein, a new approach for surfactant design based on structural isomerism is utilised to access a wide spectrum of functionalities.

In a systematic study, six pseudopolymorphic coordination polymers containing the ditopic 1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)urea ligand (4bpu) constructed with d metal cations, possessing the formula {[M(4bpu)I]S} [(M = Zn, Cd and Hg), (S = MeOH or EtOH)], namely Zn-MeOH, Zn-EtOH, Cd-MeOH, Cd-EtOH, Hg- and Hg-EtOH were obtained. The title compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SC-XRD), elemental analysis (CHN), FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The diffraction studies show that these compounds are isostructural 1D zig-zag chain coordination polymers which is also confirmed using XPac 2.

Regulating carbon hybridization states lies at the heart of engineering carbon materials with tailored properties but orchestrating the sequential transition across three states has remained elusive. Here, we visiualize stepwise evolution in carbon hybridizations from sp³ to sp² and to sp states via dehydrogenation and elimination reactions of methylcyano-functionalized molecules on surfaces. Utilizing scanning probing microscopy, we distinguish three distinct carbon-carbon bond types within polymers induced by annealing at elevated temperatures.

Precise control of assembled structures of quantum dots (QDs) is crucial for realizing the desired photophysical properties, but this remains challenging. Especially, the one-dimensional (1D) control is rare due to the nearly isotropic nature of QDs. Herein, we propose a novel strategy for controlling the 1D-arrangement range of cubic perovskite QDs in solution based on the morphological modification of a supramolecular polymer (SP) template.

The development of well-defined three-dimensional supramolecular polymers presents significant challenges, particularly in achieving crystalline state structures. This study addresses this challenge by presenting the construction of a crystalline three-dimensional supramolecular polymer through the self-assembly of clamparene () and a naphthalene diimide derivative () in the solid state. The hierarchical self-assembly progresses from one-dimensional linear supramolecular polymers to two-dimensional supramolecular polymers and ultimately to a crystalline three-dimensional supramolecular polymer.
