State-of-the-art MOFs are generally known for chemical stability at one end of the pH scale (i.e., pH < 0 or pH > 14). Herein, we report new Cr-MOFs capable of withstanding extreme pH conditions across approximately 16 pH units from pH < 0 to pH > 14, likely the largest observed pH range for MOFs. The integration of multiple stability-enhancing factors including nonlabile Cr, mixed Cr-N and Cr-O cross-links, and the highest possible connectivity by CrO trimers enables extraordinary chemical stability confirmed by both PXRD and gas adsorption. Notably, the base stability is much higher than literature Cr-MOFs, thereby revitalizing Cr-MOF's viability in the pursuit for the most chemically stable MOFs. Among known cationic MOFs, the chemical stability of these new Cr-MOFs is unmatchable, to our knowledge. These Cr-MOFs can be developed into multiseries of isoreticular MOFs with a rich potential for functionalization, pore size, and pore geometry engineering and applications.

Soil microbiota plays crucial roles in maintaining the health, productivity, and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. The persistence and prevalence of heterocyclic compounds in soil pose significant risks to soil health. However, understanding the links between heterocyclic compounds and microbial responses remains challenging due to the complexity of microbial communities and their various chemical structures.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS), have emerged as a generation of nonprecious catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), largely due to their theoretical hydrogen adsorption energy close to that of platinum. However, efforts to activate the basal planes of TMDs have primarily centered around strategies such as introducing numerous atomic vacancies, creating vacancy-heteroatom complexes, or applying significant strain, especially for acidic media. These approaches, while potentially effective, present substantial challenges in practical large-scale deployment.

To balance the stability and dissolution of polyacrylamide (PAM), emulsion drag reducers dominate the successful operation of volumetric fracturing. Herein, a pH-switchable four-tailed ionic liquid surfactant (OA/Cyclen) is synthesized by oleic acid (OA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Cyclen). The four-tailed structure of OA/Cyclen enhances the stability of the emulsion polymerization reactor and supplies enough switchable sites for triggering the intensified release of the PAM emulsion.

Despite tremendous progress of dienamine catalysis along with its application in enantioselective synthesis over nearly two decades, certain limitations, especially with respect to the regioselectivity in the dienamine generation step, continue to persist. To overcome these shortcomings of classical dienamine catalysis, we now introduce the concept of alkoxy-directed dienamine catalysis and apply it to the enantioselective arene construction by desymmetrizing -enediones through [4 + 2]-cycloaddition. Catalyzed by a diphenylprolinol silyl ether, this reaction utilizes γ-alkoxy α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as the substrate and proceeds in a highly regioselective fashion through the intermediacy of δ-alkoxy dienamine.

Clay minerals show significant potential as fillers in polymer composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), whereas the influence of their microstructures on lithium-ion (Li) transport properties remains insufficiently understood. Herein, we design advanced poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based CSEs incorporating clay minerals with diverse microstructures including 1D halloysite nanotubes, 2D Laponite (Lap) nanosheets, and 3D porous diatomite. These minerals form distinct Li transport pathways at the clay-PEO interfaces due to their varied structural configurations.
