In this research, for the first time, a series of Co(II) doped copper terephthalate (CoX-CuBDC, where X is doping percentage) were successfully synthesized via solvothermal method and were tested for dye removal application. The physical properties of CoX-CuBDC were studied by several techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis. The incorporation of Co(II) dopant leads to isomorphic substitution of Cu(II) in the CuBDC framework with the maximum doping percentage of 22. Doping and parent MOFs which are non-porous were used for removal of Methylene Blue (MB) from aqueous solution. Adsorption capacity of Co22-CuBDC and CuBDC are 52 and 58 mg/g, respectively, both of which are higher than the adsorption capacity recorded from several high porosity MOFs. Adsorption kinetic studies indicate that adsorption process follows pseudo-second order model while the adsorption mechanism is dominated by electrostatic attraction. Overall, even though these materials show non-porous characteristic, it can be used effectively in wastewater treatment application.

Ferronematics that are generally based on nematic liquid crystals (LCs) doped with magnetic nanoparticles, synergistically taking advantage of the anisotropic and flow characteristics of the nematic host and the magnetic susceptibility of the dopant, have powerful applications as magnetically actuated soft materials. In this work, a Co(II) complex, which alone presents both characteristics, is built with a salen-type ligand 3,5-dichlorosubstituted at the aromatic nuclei and has a tetramethyldisiloxane spacer, which makes it one of the few metallomesogens containing this structural motif. Paramagnetic crystals, through heat treatment above 110 °C, change into magnetic nematic LCs.

Here we present the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of complexes of general formula (Mn)(MeNH)][Mn(μ-L)(HO)] and (MeNH)[M(μ-L)(HO)] (M = Co, Ni and Cu); L = 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl) ethanedisulfonate). The trinuclear polyanions were isolated as dimethylammonium salts, and their crystal structures determined by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction data. The polyanionic part of these salts have the same molecular structure, which consists of a linear array of metal(II) ions linked by triple N1-N2-triazole bridges.

The present work introduces both synthesis of silica nanoparticles doped with Co ions by means of differently modified microemulsion water-in-oil (w/o) and Stöber techniques and characterization of the hybrid nanoparticles (Co@SiO) by TEM, DLS, XRD, ICP-EOS, SAXS, UV-Vis, and UV-Vis/DR spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. The results reveal the lack of nanocrystalline dopants inside the hybrid nanoparticles, as well as no ligands, when Co ions are added to the synthetic mixtures as Co(bpy) complexes, thus pointing to coordination of Co ions with Si-O groups as main driving force of the doping. The UV-Vis/DR spectra of Co@SiO in the range of d-d transitions indicate that Stöber synthesis in greater extent than the w/o one stabilizes tetrahedral Co ions versus the octahedral ions.

Despite the ubiquity and importance of organic hole-transport materials in photovoltaic devices, their intrinsic low conductivity remains a drawback. Thus, chemical doping is an indispensable solution to this drawback and is essentially always required. The most widely used p-type dopant, FK209, is a cobalt coordination complex.

The effect of co-mingled dopants, Co(II) and Cr(III), on Tc(IV) incorporation and retention in magnetite under varying temperatures (75-700 °C) was explored using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, batch experiments, and solid phase characterization. Tc(IV) stabilization was achieved with a magnetite surface oversaturated with or containing an equal number of Tc and Cr. Under oversaturation conditions, the forced formation of a CrO phase on the magnetite surface may help prevent Tc release.
