A perfluorobutyl-functionalized two-dimensional porous coordination polymer (PCP), {[Cu(bpbtp)(L)(DMF)]·(DMF)}n (H2bpbtp = 2,5-bis(perfluorobutyl)terephthalic acid, L = 2,5-bis(perfluorobutyl)-1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The pore surface of the PCP is decorated with pendant perfluorobutyl groups which fabricate a densely fluorinated nanospace resulting in unique gas sorption properties.

Article Synopsis
- Nucleic acids can effectively silence disease-related genes and have advantages over small molecule drugs, such as high specificity and the ability to target hard-to-reach molecules.
- However, their instability in biological settings and quick clearance from the body pose challenges, leading to the need for nanocarriers.
- Spherical nucleic acids (SNA) made from highly fluorinated DNA amphiphiles offer improved stability in biological media and promise better delivery of nucleic acid therapies for gene silencing.
Adsorptive-dissolution of O into the potential nanospace of a densely fluorinated metal-organic framework.

Nanoporous solids, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have long been known to capture small molecules by adsorption on their pore surfaces. Liquids are also known to accommodate small molecules by dissolution. These two processes have been recognized as fundamentally distinct phenomena because of the different nature of the medium-solids and liquids.

Article Synopsis
- Using high donor-number additives to adjust cationic solvation can create a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on magnesium (Mg) anodes, which requires careful attention to electrolyte chemistry and sufficient additive amounts.
- The study introduces a new self-assembled monolayer (SAM) strategy using trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane (TFTMS), which enhances the SEI by modulating the absorption structure at the anode, improving anion-Mg interactions.
- With this approach, the new electrolytes allow for stable cycling of symmetric cells for up to 1000 hours and efficient reversible Mg plating/stripping, showing promise for wider application in rechargeable magnesium batteries.
Unlocking nature's brilliance: using Antarctic extremophile Shewanella baltica to biosynthesize lanthanide-containing nanoparticles with optical up-conversion.

Both lanthanide-containing and fluorine-containing nanomaterials present challenging targets for microbial biosynthesis because these elements are toxic to most bacteria. Here, we overcome these challenges by using an Antarctic Shewanella baltica strain that tolerates these elements and report the first biosynthesis of lanthanide-doped fluoride nanoparticles (NPs) from them. NaYF NPs doped with Er/Yb are prototypical lanthanide-based upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) with upconverted luminescence at visible wavelengths under infrared excitation.

Ammonium fluoride (NH₄F) exhibits a variety of crystalline phases depending on temperature and pressure. By employing Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction beyond megabar pressures (up to 140 GPa), we have here observed a novel dense solid phase of NH₄F, characterised by the tetragonal P4/nmm structure also observed in other ammonium halides under less extreme pressure conditions, typically a few GPa. Using detailed ab-initio calculations and reevaluating earlier theoretical models pertaining to other ammonium halides, we examine the microscopic mechanisms underlying the transition from the low-pressure cubic phase (P-43m) to the newly identified high-pressure tetragonal phase (P4/nmm).
