The solution processability of a conducting metallopolymer (CMP1) based on a 2,2'-bipyridyl (bipy) derivatized poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) backbone has been accomplished by the strategic placement of sterically demanding mesityl side chains. The enhanced solubility of CMP1 can be traced to the prevention of coordinative crosslinking between polymer chains. The sterically enforced 1:1 bipy/metal ratio was confirmed by job analysis of absorption spectroscopic titration data. In addition to enhanced processability, this strategy also leads to twice as many metal ions, and consequently twice the charge, on CMP1 versus traditional bipyridyl-PPV metallopolymers that are typified by a 2:1 bipy/metal ratio with certain metals.

Crystalline membranes, represented by the metal-organic framework (MOF) with well-defined angstrom-sized apertures, have shown great potential for molecular separation. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to separate small molecules with very similar molecular size differences due to angstrom-scale defects during membrane formation. Herein, a stepwise assembling strategy is reported for constructing MOF membranes with intrinsic angstrom-sized lattice aperture lattice to separate organic azeotropic mixtures separation.

The synthesis and isolation of TerP═GaTer and TerP═InTer (Ter = 2,6-Dipp-CH; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) is reported. These compounds feature unsupported P═Ga and P═In double bonds and two-coordinate triel element centers. Key to the stabilization of such compounds is the steric bulk of the terphenyl substituents, which serve to shield the highly reactive P═E bonds (E = Ga, In) and prevent further aggregation.

Aluminum-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are underexplored despite the broad applications of boron-containing PAHs in areas such as catalysis and optoelectronics. We disclose the donor-free, sterically unprotected 9-methyl-9-aluminafluorene (Me-AlFlu; 2), synthesized by heating a 9,9-dimethyl-9-stannafluorene and AlMe in hexanes. The compound is a dimer, (2), with -positioned Al substituents in the solid state.

A series of four new copper and silver-thiolate, [M(-SPhCOR)] (M = Cu, Ag and R = H, Me), coordination polymers is reported. The study shows that the hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acids directs the formation of a 2D structure associated with poor photoemission, while the steric hindrance of the ester groups allows the assembly of a 1D network coupled with bright luminescence.

Stable planar dithienoarsinines were synthesized and structurally characterized. These compounds exhibit monomeric structures in the solution and solid states, avoiding dimerization, even in the absence of steric protection. They exhibited high global aromaticity with 14 or 22π-electron systems.
