A novel supramolecular framework, catena-poly[[[aqua(2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylato-κO)silver(I)]-μ-4,4'-bipyridine-κ(2)N:N'] dihydrate], {[Ag(C16H10NO2)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·2H2O}n, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The Ag(I) centres are four-coordinated and bridged by 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) ligands to form a one-dimensional Ag-bipy chain. The Ag-bipy chains are further linked together by intermolecular O-H···O and O-H···N hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent chains, resulting in a three-dimensional framework.

Multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are preferred for their high efficiency and high colour purity in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, the design strategies of MR-TADF emitters in the red region are very limited. Herein, we propose a concept for a paradigm shift in orange-red/deep-red MR emitters by linking the outer phenyl groups in a classical MR framework through intramolecular sulfur (S) locks.

The plastic waste crisis is among humanity's most urgent challenges. However, widespread adoption of sustainable plastics is hindered by their often inadequate processing characteristics and performance. Here, we introduce a bio-inspired strategy for the modification of a representative high molar mass, biodegradable aliphatic polyester that helps overcome these limitations and remains effective at molar masses far greater than the entanglement molar mass.

2D and 3D porous coordination networks (PCNs) as exemplified by metal-organic frameworks, MOFs, have garnered interest for their potential utility as sorbents for molecular separations and storage. The inherent modularity of PCNs has enabled the development of crystal engineering strategies for systematic fine-tuning of pore size and chemistry in families of related PCNs. The same cannot be said about one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers, CPs, which are understudied with respect to porosity.

In most bacteria, cell division depends on the tubulin-homolog FtsZ that polymerizes in a GTP-dependent manner to form the cytokinetic Z-ring at the future division site. Subsequently, the Z-ring recruits, directly or indirectly, all other proteins of the divisome complex that executes cytokinesis. A critical step in this process is the precise positioning of the Z-ring at the future division site.
