The paper describes a heterometallic mixed-ligand hexanuclear precursor [NaMn(thd)(OAc)] () (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptadionate; OAc = acetate) that was designed based on its lithium homoleptic analogue, [LiMn(thd)], by replacing one of the thd ligands with an acetate group in order to accommodate 5-coordinated sodium instead of tetrahedral lithium ion. The complex, which is highly volatile and soluble in a variety of common solvents, has been synthesized by both the solid-state and solution methods. The unique "dimer-of-trimers" heterometallic structure consists of two trinuclear [NaMn(thd)] units firmly bridged by two acetate ligands. X-ray diffraction techniques, DART mass spectrometry, ICP-OES analysis, and IR spectroscopy have been employed to confirm the structure and composition of the hexanuclear complex. Similar to the Li counterpart forming LiMnO spinel material upon thermal decomposition, the title Na:Mn = 1:2 compound was utilized as the first single-source precursor for the low-temperature preparation of NaMnO tunnel oxide. Importantly, four Mn sites in the hexanuclear molecule can be potentially partially substituted by other transition metals, leading to hetero- and metallic precursors for the advanced quaternary and quinary Na-ion oxide cathode materials.

Literature on Group One organoelement chemistry is dominated by lithium, though sodium and potassium also feature prominently, whereas rubidium and caesium are rarely mentioned. With recent breakthroughs hinting that organoelement compounds of these two heavier metals can perform better than their lighter congeners in particular applications, important advantages could be missed unless complete sets of alkali metals are included in studies. Here, we report the synthesis and characterisation of a complete set of multi-alkali-metallated molecular compounds of the 1,3,5-tris[(4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)aminomethyl]-2,4,6-triethylbenzene framework.

Transforming current complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology to fabricate memory chips and microprocessors into environmentally friendlier electronics requires the development of new approaches to resource- and energy-efficient electron transport and switching materials. Metal and multi-metal oxide layers play a key role in high-end technical applications. However, these layers are commonly produced through high-energy and high-temperature procedures.

One of the hallmarks of multicomponent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is to finely tune their active centers to achieve product selectivity. In particular, obtaining bimetallic MOF hollow structures with precisely tailored redox centers under the same topology is still challenging despite a recent surge of such efforts. Herein, we present an engineering strategy named "cluster labilization" to generate hierarchically porous MOF composites with hollow structures and tunable active centers.

We investigate collision-induced dissociation (CID) of [MoX] (X = Cl, Br, I) and the reactivity of fragment ions of these precursors with background gases. Ion mobility measurements and theoretical calculations provide structural information for some of the observed ions. Sequential losses of MoX units dominate the dissociation pathways of [MoCl].
