The crystal structures of two compounds, CuL(2) and LiNCS.HL [HL = 4'-[2-(tosylamino)benzylideneamino]-2,3-benzo-15-crown-5], have been determined from synchrotron powder diffraction data. Both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c and with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. In CuL(2) the four N atoms of two bidentate L ligands coordinate the Cu(II) ion in a distorted tetrahedral geometry with Cu-N distances of 1.98 (5)-2.05 (5) A, while two O atoms from two sulfoxide groups complete the distorted octahedral Cu coordination [Cu-O 2.64 (4), 2.74 (4) A]. In LiNCS.HL, lithium is coordinated by all five ether O atoms with Li-O distances of 2.03 (3)-2.50 (3) A and an N atom from the thiocyanate moiety [Li-N 1.98 (3) A] in a distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometry. Preliminary potentiometric selectivity measurements for ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) based on CuL(2) and ZnL(2) demonstrated significant differences in their selectivity. In order to find a possible reason for this, theoretical calculations at the DFT (B3LYP) level were performed. These calculations used the crystal structures of CuL(2), LiNCS.HL, ZnL(2) and HL as input geometries for the minimum energy optimization in vacuo. The results indicate that in ML(2) complexes (M = Cu, Zn) the electronic structure of the metal ion determines the spatial orientation of benzo-15-crown-5 macrocycles, and their different orientation in CuL(2) and ZnL(2) results in different potentiometric selectivities of ISEs based on these compounds.

There is an urgent need for inexpensive, functional materials that can capture and release CO under industrial conditions. In this context, MgO is a highly promising, earth-abundant CO sorbent. However, despite its favorable carbonation thermodynamics and potential for high gravimetric CO uptakes, MgO-based CO sorbents feature slow carbonation kinetics, limiting their CO uptake during typical industrial contact times.

Synthetic mordenite is widely used as a molecular sieve, adsorbent, and catalyst. To enhance these functionalities, it is crucial to understand the ion-exchange properties and cation-exchange sites of the zeolite. In this study, we analyzed the structural changes in fully Cs-, Sr-, Cd-, and Pb-exchanged mordenite by using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction under ambient conditions.

Creating simple methods to produce antioxidant nanozymes with clear structure-activity relationships, particularly aiming to improve disinfection and create practical drug formulations for bacterial wound healing, remains a crucial challenge. Herein, we synthesized iron-loaded covalent organic framework nanospheres, which were then controllably transformed into a carbon-based nanozyme with both iron single atoms and iron clusters through simple pyrolysis. We discovered that the gradual growth of iron clusters significantly boosted the nanozyme's adsorption onto the substrate and electron transfer, greatly influencing its activity.

The structural evolution of metavanadate compounds under high pressure offers valuable insights into phase transitions and changes in material properties. This study explores the structural behavior of BaVO under pressures up to 12 GPa using powder X-ray diffraction and density-functional theory (DFT) simulations. The results indicate a phase transition from the ambient pressure orthorhombic phase (space group 222) to a monoclinic phase (space group 2) at 4 GPa, likely driven by the distortion of the vanadium oxide polyhedron.

Energetic ionic liquids have a high potential to replace the traditional monopropellant hydrazine as a high-energy green propellant and can be widely used in aerospace technology. A high-energy ionic liquid─HEHN has also gained extensive attention from researchers. To explore the reaction mechanism of HEHN and establish a chemical kinetic model for high-energy ionic liquid propellants, 28 hydrogen abstraction reactions of HEH, which is the main decomposition product of HEHN, were investigated in this study.
