A simple two-component procedure was developed to synthesize not only classical zinc-based IRMOFs represented by MOF-5 but also the cobalt and beryllium homologues of this most prominent MOF. The procedure is the first manifestation of mirroring the IRMOF series with other metal centers taken from main-group as well as transition-metal elements. Because of the existence of many suitable precursors, the procedure promises the generation of a large number of IRMOF homologues. Since the IRMOF series together with the MIL series is the MOF group with the largest number of representatives, the possibility of choosing the metal centers of the secondary building units from an extended set will tremendously expand the number of obtainable structures in a predictive, crystal-engineering-type way. Use of metal centers other than zinc will allow the addition of new features to the existing IRMOF structures, such as magnetic properties in the example of cobalt.

Heterogeneous integration of emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials with mature three-dimensional (3D) silicon-based semiconductor technology presents a promising approach for the future development of energy-efficient, function-rich nanoelectronic devices. In this study, we designed a mixed-dimensional junction structure in which a 2D monolayer (e.g.

Controlling charge transport at the interfaces of nanostructures is crucial for their successful use in optoelectronic and solar energy applications. Mixed-dimensional heterostructures based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have demonstrated exceptionally long-lived charge-separated states. However, the factors that control the charge transport at these interfaces remain unclear.

The effective elimination of NO from automobile exhaust at low temperatures poses significant challenges. Compared to other materials, supported RhO catalysts exhibit high NO decomposition activities, even in the presence of O, CO, and HO. Metal additives can enhance the low-temperature NO decomposition activities over supported RhO catalysts; however, the enhancement mechanism and active sites require further investigation.

The development of molecular species with switchable magnetic properties has been a long-standing challenge in chemistry. One approach involves binding an analyte, such as protons, to a compound to trigger a change in magnetism. Transition metal complexes have been targeted for this type of magnetic modulation because they can undergo changes in their spin states.

Optical resolution photoacoustic imaging of uneven samples without z-scanning is transformative for the fast analysis and diagnosis of diseases. However, current approaches to elongate the depth of field (DOF) typically imply cumbersome postprocessing procedures, bulky optical element ensembles, or substantial excitation beam side lobes. Metasurface technology allows for the phase modulation of light and the miniaturization of imaging systems to wavelength-size thickness.
