The coordination polymers [Cu(HO)(μ-NC)PtX] (X = Cl, Br) form networks of square grid sheets that align in a staggered manner with one another via weak X···X interactions. Upon stepwise dehydration, the layers fuse, forming a 3-D network of distorted cubes. The materials were tested for visible vapochromic, Raman, and IR response to dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, and pyridine. Analyte-bound coordination polymers of the form Cu(analyte)[PtX(CN)] were structurally characterized by PXRD and found to form layers of square grids that align through X···X interactions. The reaction of [Cu(HO)(μ-NC)PtX] with concentrated aqueous NH generated [PtBr(CN)(NH)] and [PtCl(CN)(OH)] anions that were incorporated into 1-D chain structures. UV-visible reflectance data show that a combination of shifting d-d transitions and the visible Br-Pt LMCT absorption band in [Cu(HO)(μ-NC)PtBr] results in a greater vapochromic effect in comparison to that in chlorine-containing analogues.

The unsatisfactory ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes hinders their practical use as substitutes for liquid electrolytes to address safety concerns. Although various plasticizers have been introduced to improve lithium-ion conduction kinetics, the lack of microenvironment understanding impedes the rational design of high-performance polymer electrolytes. Here, we design a class of Hofmann complexes that offer continuous two-dimensional lithium-ion conduction channels with functional ligands, creating highly conductive electrolytes.

In a systematic study, six pseudopolymorphic coordination polymers containing the ditopic 1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)urea ligand (4bpu) constructed with d metal cations, possessing the formula {[M(4bpu)I]S} [(M = Zn, Cd and Hg), (S = MeOH or EtOH)], namely Zn-MeOH, Zn-EtOH, Cd-MeOH, Cd-EtOH, Hg- and Hg-EtOH were obtained. The title compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (SC-XRD), elemental analysis (CHN), FT-IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The diffraction studies show that these compounds are isostructural 1D zig-zag chain coordination polymers which is also confirmed using XPac 2.

TBC1D20 coordinates vesicle transport and actin remodeling to regulate ciliogenesis.

TBC1D20 deficiency causes Warburg Micro Syndrome in humans, characterized by multiple eye abnormalities, severe intellectual disability, and abnormal sexual development, but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we identify TBC1D20 as a novel Rab11 GTPase-activating protein that coordinates vesicle transport and actin remodeling to regulate ciliogenesis. Depletion of TBC1D20 promotes Rab11 vesicle accumulation and actin deconstruction around the centrosome, facilitating the initiation of ciliogenesis even in cycling cells.

While synthesizing circular polymers with telechelic polyolefin building blocks recently emerged as a promising strategy for addressing conventional polyethylenes' sustainability challenges, the lack of telechelic PP (PP) with sufficient difunctional purity for polycondensation has been limiting the development of circular polypropylenes with PP-like structures and properties. Here we described a combined approach of coordinative chain transfer polymerization and transition-metal-catalyzed quenching reaction with various acyl chlorides, affording PPs with a high difunctional ratio (up to ∼99%) and broad end functional group scope. The steric effect of polymeryl-Zn species and the role of Pd catalyst were revealed by DFT.

The efficient harvesting of triplet excitons is key to realizing high efficiency blue fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) up-conversion is one of the effective triplet-harvesting strategies. However, during the TTA up-conversion process, a high current density is necessary due to the competitive non-radiative triplet losses.
