A three-dimensional homometallic complex [Co(5)(mu(3)-OH)(2)(btec)(2)(bpp)](n) is built from the mixed hydroxide/carboxylate bridged cobalt(ii) chains linked by the 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (btec(4-)) anion and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)-propane molecule (bpp). Within each chain, two mu(3)-OH-bridged metal triangles connect to each other by sharing a common vertex to give rise to a bow-tie type Co(5)(mu(3)-OH)(2) subunit, which is joined to adjacent subunits by four mu(1,1)-carboxylate bridges to form a step-like metal-oxygen backbone. The magnetic studies revealed that the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferrimagnetic interactions resulted in a ferrimagnetic-like behavior of the homometallic chains. Below a critical temperature (T(N) = 12.5 K), bulk antiferromagnetic ordering was observed at low field due to the weak interchain antiferromagnetic interactions. A metamagnetic transition occurred at a magnetic field of ca. 5 kOe at 2 K.

Article Synopsis
  • Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are promising for their high energy density and environmental benefits, but face challenges from lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) and slow redox reactions affecting performance.
  • A new bimetallic oxide catalyst (FeVO) paired with carbon nanotubes improves the separator used in these batteries, effectively reducing LiPS shuttling and enhancing sulfur conversion.
  • The modified separator leads to impressive energy densities of up to 341 Wh/kg in Li-S cells, indicating a significant step forward for the commercialization of these next-generation batteries.

One-dimensional (1D) oxalate-bridged homometallic {[Mn(bpy)(CO)]·1.5HO} () (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and heterodimetallic {[CrCu(bpy)(CHOH)(HO)(CO)][Cu(bpy)Cr(CO)]·CHCl·CHOH·HO} () coordination polymers, as well as the three-dimensional (3D) heterotrimetallic {[CaCrCu(phen)(CO)]·4CHCN·2HO} () (1,10-phenanthroline) network, have been synthesized by a building block approach using a layering technique, and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared (IR) and impedance spectroscopies and magnetization measurements. During the crystallization process partial decomposition of the tris(oxalate)chromate(III) happened and 1D polymers and were formed.

Racemic and enantiopure (1R,2R) forms of trans-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (Hchdc and R-Hchdc, respectively) have been used in the synthesis of a series of 13 uranyl ion complexes, all obtained under solvo-hydrothermal conditions and in the presence of additional metal cations and/or N-donor ligands. While the homometallic complex [UO(R-chdc)] (1) was only obtained with the enantiopure ligand, complexes [UO(chdc)(THF)] (2), [UO(chdc)(DMF)] (3), and [UO(chdc)(NMP)] (4), with a coordinated solvent molecule, were obtained from the racemic form only; all crystallize as two-dimensional (2D) assemblies. The two complexes [UO(chdc)(bipy)](5) and [UO(R-chdc)(bipy)] (6), where bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine, are isomorphous since 5 crystallizes as a racemic conglomerate; they are both one-dimensional (1D) homochiral, helical polymers.

A family of isomorphous three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks based on bimetallic (FeCo, FeNi, and CoNi) chains with random metal sites have been prepared and magnetically characterized. The solid-solution-type bimetallic materials inherit intrachain ferromagnetic interactions and single-chain-magnet (SCM) behaviors from the homometallic parent materials. Interestingly, different composition dependence of magnetic behaviors has been found.
