In the title polymer, [Cd(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(16)H(16)N(2)O(2))](n), the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecule and four N atoms from four symmetry-related dicyanamide ions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, the O and C atoms of the eth-oxy groups are located almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring system. Two dicyanamide ions bridge two Cd(II) ions, which are located on a twofold axis, forming a one-dimensional zigzag chain along the [001] direction. The 2,9-dieth-oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecules act as bidentate terminal ligands. There are π-π inter-actions between polymeric chains, characterized by a centroid-centroid distance of 3.7624 (2) Å between the phenanthroline rings of two neighbouring chains.

Rechargeable zinc batteries (RZBs) are highly attractive as energy storage solutions due to their low cost and sustainability. Nevertheless, the use of fluorine-free zinc electrolyte systems to create affordable, ecofriendly, and safe RZBs has been largely overlooked in the battery community. Previously, we showcased the utilization of a fluorine-free, nonaqueous electrolyte comprising zinc dicyanamide (Zn(dca)) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to enable the electrochemical cycling of zinc.

The present study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to examine how different anions compete for protein solvation in aqueous solutions of ionic liquids (ILs). Ubiquitin is used as model protein and studied in IL mixtures sharing the same cation, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium (EMIM), and two different anions in the same solution, from combinations of dicyanamide (DCA), chloride (Cl), nitrate (NO), and tetrafluoroborate (BF). Our findings reveal that specific interactions between anions and the protein are paramount in IL solvation, but that combinations of anions are not additive.

Two new complexes, bis-[4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ,]bis-(dicyanamide-κ)copper(II), [Cu(abpt)(dca)] (1) and bis-[4-amino-3,5-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole-κ,]bis-(dicyanamide-κ)cobalt(II), [Co(abpt)(dca)] (2), have been prepared and magneto-structurally characterised. Single crystal studies of both complexes have shown that their crystal structures are molecular, in which the central atoms are six-coordinated in the form of a distorted octahedron by two bidentate abpt and two monodentate dca ligands. Even if both complexes have the same composition and crystallize in the same 1̄ space group, they are not isostructural.

The reaction of preassembled Cu(I) bimetallic units {Cu(dppm)} and {Cu(dppa)} (dppm: bis(diphenylphosphino)methane and dppa: bis(diphenylphosphino)amine) with pseudohalide linkers (azido, dicyanamide, and tricyanomethanide) allows for the quantitative and selective preparation of three discrete tetrametallic metallacycles of formula [Cu(μ-dppm)(N)](PF), [Cu(μ-dppm)(N(CN))](PF), and [Cu(μ-dppm)(C(CN))]. To explore further the impact of the linker on the architecture and dimensionality of the molecular edifice, the study was extended to more sophisticated tetradentate cyanocarbanion ligands (tcnsMe: 2-(methylthio)-1,1,3,3-propanetetracarbonitrile and tcnsEt: 2-(ethylthio)-1,1,3,3-propanetetracarbonitrile). Three ladder-like one-dimensional coordination polymers and an octametallic metallacycle have been obtained.

Here, electrical conductivity and explosive sensing properties of multifunctional chromone-Cd(II)-based coordination polymers (CPs) (-) have been explored. The presence of different pseudohalide linkers, thiocyanate ions, and dicyanamide ions resulted in 1D and 3D architecture in the CPs. Thin film devices developed from CPs - (complex-based Schottky devices, , , , and , respectively) showed semiconductor behavior.
