The first example of cobalt-catalyzed selective hydrogenation of nitriles to secondary imines is reported. The results demonstrate the significantly different selectivity compared with the previously reported cobalt catalytic system during the nitrile hydrogenation. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles are hydrogenated to the corresponding secondary imines.

A new twofold interpenetrated 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, poly[[μ-aqua-diaqua{μ-2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetato}barium(II)] dihydrate], {[Ba(CHNO)(HO)]·2HO}, (I), has been assembled through a combination of the reaction of 2,2'-[terephthaloylbis(azanediyl)]diacetic acid (TPBA, HL) with barium hydroxide and crystallization at low temperature. In the crystal structure of (I), the nine-coordinated Ba ions are bridged by two μ-aqua ligands and two carboxylate μ-O atoms to form a 1D loop-like Ba-O chain, which, together with the other two coordinated water molecules and μ-carboxylate groups, produces a rod-like secondary building unit (SBU). The resultant 1D polynuclear SBUs are further extended into a 3D MOF via the terephthalamide moiety of the ligand as a spacer.

The selective hydrogenation of nitrile compounds represents a pivotal area of research within both industrial and academic catalysis. In this study, we prepared Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts through a co-deposition-crystallization sequence, aimed at the efficient production of primary and secondary amines. The enhanced selectivity for primary amines is attributed to the downshift of the d-band center of NiCu, which weakens the adsorption of key imine intermediates.

Efficient Light-Driven Ion Pumping for Deep Desalination via the Vertical Gradient Protonation of Covalent Organic Framework Membranes.

Traditional desalination methods face criticism due to high energy requirements and inadequate trace ion removal, whereas natural light-driven ion pumps offer superior efficiency. Current synthetic systems are constrained by short exciton lifetimes, which limit their ability to generate sufficient electric fields for effective ion pumping. We introduce an innovative approach utilizing covalent-organic framework membranes that enhance light absorption and reduce charge recombination through vertical gradient protonation of imine linkages during acid-catalyzed liquid-liquid interfacial polymerization.

Extraction of gold from secondary resources such as electronic waste (e-waste) has become crucial in recent times to compensate for the gradual scarcity of the noble metal in natural mines. However, designing and synthesizing a suitable material for highly efficient gold recovery is still a great challenge. Herein, we have strategically designed rapid fabrication of an ionic crystalline hybrid aerogel by covalent threading of an amino-functionalized metal-organic polyhedra with an imine-linked chemically stable covalent organic framework at ambient condition.

The development of wound dressings with rapid hemostasis, antibacterial activity without the addition of antibiotics and on-demand removability that effectively avoid secondary damage to the wound during replacement still faces significant challenges. Herein, injectable epoxidized soybean oil/gelatin-based photothermal biogel with outstanding tissue adhesion, on-demand removability, shape-adaptability, and antibacterial performance is prepared as a removable wound dressing for wound repair. The biogel is composed of two types of hydrophilic/hydrophobic three-dimensional network structures, which interweave together through dynamic imine bonds, coordination bonds and numerous hydrogen bonds to synergistically improve injectability, self-healing, tissue adhesion, and compressive performance of the biogel.
