Readily soluble magnesium and zinc carboxylates [M(Ln)2(H2O)4] (MLn2) (M = Mg, Zn; L1 = O2C-2-Ar3CCONH-6-n-BuCONHC6H3; L2 = O2C-2-Ar3CCONHC6H4; Ar = 4-t-BuC6H4) containing intramolecular NH···O hydrogen bonds in nonpolar solvents were synthesized and their molecular structures were determined by X-ray analysis. The complexes were crystallized in the trans or cis configuration. The M–O bond distances were dependent on the mode of the hydrogen bonds. (1)H NMR spectral measurements revealed a fast trans–cis isomerization of MLn2 in CDCl3, which was converted into a unique fac-[M(Ln)3(H2O)3]− (fac-[MLn3]−) by the addition of equimolar [Ln]−. The theoretical calculations supported the existence of the facial configuration. The coordinated water molecules of MLn2 were detected by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and the acidity was estimated in the order of ML12 > ML22. Calcium afforded only the dinuclear complex, [Ca2(L1)2(H2O)5(1,4-dioxane)] (Ca2L14), which showed a low hydrolytic activity.

ConspectusWater-in-salt electrolytes (WiSEs) are promising electrolytes for next-generation lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offering critical advantages like nonflammability and improved safety. These electrolytes have extremely high salt concentrations and exhibit unique solvation structures and transport mechanisms dominated by the formation of ion networks and aggregates. These ion networks are central to the performance of WiSEs, govern the transport properties and stability of the electrolyte, deviating from conventional dilute aqueous or organic electrolytes.

Background: Soy protein isolate (SPI) has poor emulsifying ability because of its low molecular flexibility and compact structure, limiting its application in extruded protein-based foods. Extrusion technology has emerged as a promising way to alter the structural properties of proteins. Therefore, the impacts of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) on structural and emulsifying characteristics of SPI in extrusion field were explored in this study.

Developing simple and efficient extraction methods for phenolic substances from coal tar, which facilitate their direct transformation into high-performance electrode materials, holds considerable practical significance. In this study, amide-zinc chloride deep eutectic solvents are employed for efficient phenol extraction. The optimal phenol extraction process is subsequently investigated, and it is found that the robust hydrogen bonding interactions between solvents and phenols significantly enhance extraction efficiency.

Exploring potential third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials attracts ever-increasing attention. Given that the atomically precise and rich adjustable structural features of silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs), as well as the unique π-electron conjugated system of carbon-based nanomaterials, a supramolecular co-assembly amplification strategy to enhance the luminescent intensity and NLO performance of the hybrids of the two components, are constructed and the relationship between structures and optical properties are investigated. By combining water soluble Ag NCs [(NH)[Ag(mna)] (Hmna = 2-mercaptonicotinic acid, abbreviated to Ag─NCs hereafter) containing uncoordinated carboxyl groups with water-soluble fullerene derivatives modified with multiple hydroxyl groups (fullerenols, C─OH), the π-electron delocalization is expanded owing to non-covalent hydrogen bonding effect between Ag6─NCs and C─OH, which provides a feasible basis for realizing the NLO response.

Alum, an essential additive in sweet potato vermicelli (SPV) production, is harmful to health. To eliminate the harm to the human body caused by alum in sweet potato vermicelli, and considering the different viscous properties of gliadin fractions, an experiment was performed to replace alum with gliadin fractions to enhance the boiling resistance of SPV in this study. The results showed that the longest boiling-resistant time of fresh SPV extended to 34.
