We describe an efficient methodology for the preparation of new chiral zinc complexes by assembling dynamically racemic biphenol derivatives and chiral 1,2-diamines with suitable zinc(II) precursors. Mononuclear and dinuclear zinc(II) complexes were formed from differently substituted biphenols. The solid-state and solution structural characterization of the resulting compounds allowed us to demonstrate a preferential sense of induced axial chirality for mononuclear complexes, a phenomenon that was not observed for the dinuclear ones.

Chiral allyl amines are important structural components in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and chiral catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-catalyzed enantioselective reductive coupling of imines with internal alkynes to synthesize chiral allyl amines. The reaction is catalyzed by a cobalt complex derived from commercially available bisphosphine ligand utilizing zinc as the electron donor.

Ionic liquid (IL) units in heterogeneous catalysts exhibit synergistic effects to enhance catalytic performance and stabilize catalytically active centers, while also preventing the degradation of catalysts during the reaction process. Ionic liquid units in IL-functionalized CMOF catalysts enhance their catalytic performance in a synergistic manner. However, not only are the yields of IL-functionalized CMOFs obtained with post-synthesis methods low, but they also lead to blocking of the MOF pores and leaching of the ionic liquid.

Amines are produced through various industrial and biological processes, contributing significantly to atmospheric pollution, particularly in the troposphere. Moreover, amine-related pollution raises global concerns due to its detrimental effects on human health, environmental quality, and the preservation of animal species. Low-molecular-weight volatile amines, categorized as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are present in the atmosphere, and they represent the main cause of air pollution.

Four mononuclear bioefficient zinc coordination complexes [Zn(NN)](ClO) (-) involving chiral bidentate Schiff base ligands have been synthesized and characterized by IR, H, and C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. X-ray crystal structures of three of the zinc complexes revealed that the zinc metal ion is hexacoordinated, exhibiting a distorted octahedral geometry where both the nitrogen atoms (NN = pyridyl and imine) of imines are coordinated to the central zinc ion. The isolated zinc complexes were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity in vitro against , , and , displaying varying levels of growth inhibition.

Hydrogels are currently under extensive research as flexible quasi-solid electrolytes for zinc-ion batteries. However, the non-degradability and non-recyclability of hydrogel electrolytes pose significant issues, leading to resource wastage and plastic pollution. Moreover, the increasing needs of hydrogel electrolyte with various shapes to meet individual requirements of next-generation flexible battery raise significant challenges.
