Dion-Jacobson layered niobates have been extensively researched in recent years because of a variety of useful properties such as dielectric behavior, proton conduction, and solid acid catalysis. The behavior of these materials is strongly dependent on the elemental composition and, more specifically, the interlayer surface environment. A novel method of partial grafting of n-alcohols into the interlayer of HSr2Nb3O10 with approximately 40% conversion has been developed using microwave irradiation to generate high temperatures. This method has reduced the grafting reaction time by more than 97% while maintaining conversion rates consistent with previous methods.

Morphology control of electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (EC-MOFs) can be a powerful means to tune their surface area and carrier transport pathways, particularly beneficial for energy conversion and storage. However, controlling EC-MOFs' morphology is underexplored due to the uncontrollable crystal nucleation and rapid growth kinetics. This work introduces a microwave-assisted strategy to readily synthesize Cu-HHTP (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) with controlled morphologies.

The escalating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to a serious global public health problem; therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of structurally innovative antibacterial agents. In our study, different series of tetra-substituted thiophene derivatives were designed and synthesized by multi-component reactions (MCRs) in moderate to excellent yields. Some of the designed final compounds were synthesized by both microwave assisted method and traditional synthesis.

Warfarin (WAR), an effective oral anticoagulant, is of utmost importance in treating many diseases. Despite its significance, rapid and precise discrimination of WAR remains a formidable challenge, especially facing its structural analogs of metabolites. Here, three kinds of herb-derived N-doped carbon dots (NCDs) were greenly synthesized via a fast and simple microwave-assisted method.
