Compartmentalized molecular level design of new energetic materials based on energetic azolate anions allows for the examination of the effects of both cation and anion on the physiochemical properties of ionic liquids. Thirty one novel salts were synthesized by pairing diverse cations (tetraphenylphosphonium, ethyltriphenylphosphonium, N-phenyl pyridinium, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium, tetramethyl-, tetraethyl-, and tetrabutylammonium) with azolate anions (5-nitrobenzimidazolate, 5-nitrobenzotriazolate, 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazolate, 2,4-dinitroimidazolate, 4-nitro-1,2,3-triazolate, 4,5-dinitroimidazolate, 4,5-dicyanoimidazolate, 4-nitroimidazolate, and tetrazolate). These salts have been characterized by DSC, TGA, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The azolates in general are surprisingly stable in the systems explored. Ionic liquids were obtained with all combinations of the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation and the heterocyclic azolate anions studied, and with several combinations of tetraethyl- or tetrabutylammonium cations and the azolate anions. Favorable structure-property relationships were most often achieved when changing from 4- and 4,5-disubstituted anions to 3,5- and 2,4-disubstituted anions. The most promising anion for use in energetic ionic liquids of those studied here, was 3,5-dinitro-1,2,4-triazolate, based on its contributions to the entire set of target properties.

While crystalline hybrid solids hold great potential as novel semiconductors, most semiconductive hybrids utilize transition metal ions, which inherently limit carrier mobility due to the small band dispersion derived from the d orbitals. The filled s orbitals of post-transition metal ions offer the potential to design dispersed valence bands, but a method to translate the local structure design of these metal ions to valence band engineering is still in development. This study focuses on Pb-containing hybrid crystals, developing a simple strategy to control the Pb coordination geometry through the molecular design of azole ligands.

Despite the synthesis of numerous cationic metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs), their counter anions have been primarily limited to inorganic Cl, NO , ClO , BF , and CrO , which have weak coordination abilities. In this study, a series of new CMOFs is synthesized using azolates with strong coordination abilities as counter anions, which are exclusively employed as ligands for coordinating with metals. Owing to the unique nitrogen-rich composition of azolates, the CMOFs demonstrate significant potential as high-energy-density materials.

Efficiently capturing radioactive methyl iodide (CHI), present at low concentrations in the high-temperature off-gas of nuclear facilities, poses a significant challenge. Here we present two strategies for CHI adsorption at elevated temperatures using a unified azolate-based metal-organic framework, MFU-4l. The primary strategy leverages counter anions in MFU-4l as nucleophiles, engaging in metathesis reactions with CHI.

In the structure of the title salt, [Li(CNO)(HO)], the 3,3',5,5'-tetra-nitro-4,4'-bi-pyrazole-1,1'-diide dianion [{TNBPz}] is situated across the twofold axis. The distorted coordination octa-hedra around Li involve four short bonds with two pyrazolate N atoms and two aqua ligands [Li-N(O) = 1.999 (3)-2.

Based on the recent concern on the pollution of water bodies with herbicides, adsorptive removal of typical herbicides with similar chemical structures, e. g. clofibric acid (CLFA), methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid or mecoprop (MCPP) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from water was studied using a porous nitrogen-enriched carbon.
