The reaction of copper nitrate and triethanolamine with benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (bdcH) or 4,4'-[1,4-phenylenebis(oxy)]dibenzoic acid (podaH) leads to the formation of poly[bis(μ-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato-κO:O:O:O)bis{μ-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanolato-κN,O,O',O'':κO}tricopper(II)], [Cu(CHO)(CHNO)] or [Cu(μ-bdc)(teaH)] (I), and poly[bis{μ-4,4'-[1,4-phenylenebis(oxy)]dibenzoato-κO:O':O'':O''}bis{μ-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl)amino]ethanolato-κN,O,O',O'':κO}tricopper(II)], [Cu(CHO)(CHNO)] or [Cu(μ-poda)(teaH)], (II). The two representative compounds contain a well-established Cu cluster supporting a given 4 network. The ligand length is the underlying factor that controls the degree of interpenetration. Controlled interpenetration can be facile to realise by elongating protocols. Compound I shows a non-interpenetrating 4 network, whereas II features a threefold interpenetrating network. Furthermore, similar hydrogen-bond interactions extend the different interpenetrating 4 networks into three-dimensional supramolecular topologies. Variable-temperature magnetic studies showed a ferromagnetic coupling behaviour in the two complexes.

Tailoring well-defined interfacial structures of heterogeneous metal catalysts has become an effective strategy for identifying the interface relationships and facilitating the reactions involving multiple intermediates. Here, a particle-particle heterostructure catalyst consisting of Pd and copper oxide nanoparticles is designed to achieve high-performance alkaline methanol oxidation electrocatalysis. The strong coupling particle-particle heterostructure catalyst induced a unique interfacial interpenetration effect to improve the interfacial charge redistribution and regulate the -band structure for optimizing the adsorption of CO intermediates on the catalyst.

Hydrogels (HGs) are 3-D polymeric networks with high water content, making them appropriate for biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems. This study examines the impact of agarose in semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (Semi-IPNs) based on poly(acrylic acid) (p(AA)), N, N' Methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA) and agarose (AGA) on the sustained release of Polymyxin B (PolB). Agarose incorporation improved the mechanical strength, swelling behavior and drug retention capacity of the HG.

Sunitinib malate (SUM), widely used in cancer treatment for its anti-VEGF properties, has also been explored for ocular neovascular diseases. For ocular applications, sustained drug release is essential to reduce dosing frequency. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels are commonly used for controlled drug delivery, but their hydrophilicity leads to rapid drug diffusion, especially for water-soluble drugs like SUM.
