Manganese and nitrogen co-doped porous carbon (Mn-N-C) are proposed as one of the most up-and-coming non-precious metal electrocatalysts to substitute Pt-based in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, we chose metal triazole frameworks as carbon substrate with hierarchical porosity for trapping and anchoring Mn-containing gaseous species by a mild one-step pyrolysis method. The optimized Mn-N-C electrocatalyst with a large metal content of 1.71 wt% and a volume ratio of 0.86 mesopores pore delivers a superior ORR activity with a half-wave potential () of 0.92 V in 0.1 M KOH and 0.78 V in 0.1 M HClO. Moreover, the modified Mn-N-C catalyst showed superior potential cyclic stability. Theremained unchanged in 0.1 M KOH and only lost 6 mV in 0.1 M HClOafter 5000 cycles. When applied as the cathode catalyst in Zn-air battery, it exhibited a maximum peak power density of 176 mW cm, demonstrating great potential as a usable ORR catalyst in practical devices.

The 1,2,3-triazole-based chemosensors, synthesized through Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition via 'click chemistry', offer a straightforward yet highly effective method for detecting metal cations and anions with remarkable accuracy, selectivity and sensitivity, making them invaluable across various fields such as chemistry, pharmacology, environmental science and biology. The selective recognition of these ions is crucial due to their significant roles in biological and physiological processes, where even slight concentration variations can have major consequences. The article reviews literature from 2017 to 2024, highlighting advancements in the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole-based ligands and their application (along with sensing mechanism) for detection of various ions causing health and environmental hazards.

The efficient separation of C₂H₂/CO₂ mixture is crucial for industrial applications. A promising strategy is proposed herein to fine-tune the C₂H₂/CO adsorption and separation by pillar-layered metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbents via molecular rotation. Keeping the same ultramicroporous architecture, three Zn-X-TRZ (TRZ = 1,2,4-triazole) adsorbents are prepared with X-pillar rotors varying from 9,10-anthracenedicarboxylic acid (ADC), 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid (NDC) to 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (BDC).

In this paper, we report on the sensing role of the 1,2,3-triazol unit in a 1,4-diyl arrangement in a fully π-conjugated fluorescent probe 1 (cf. Scheme 1) towards the fluorometric detection of 3d metal ions. The 1,2,3-triazol-1,4-diyl-fluoroionophore 1 was designed in a donor(D)-acceptor(A) arrangement with a 1,2,3-triazol unit as a π-linker between a terpyridine (A) ionophore and a diethylaminocoumarin (D) fluorophore to study the fluorescence behavior towards the divalent 3d metal ions Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn.

We report the synthesis of germanyl triazoles formed via a copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of germanyl alkynes. The reaction is often high yielding, functional group tolerant, and compatible with complex molecules. The installation of the Ge moiety enables further diversification of the triazole products, including chemoselective transition metal-catalysed cross-coupling reactions using bifunctional boryl/germyl species.
