Since its appearance in [Cheng, X.; Zhang, Y.; Jónsson, E.; Jónsson, H.; Weber, P. M. 2016, 7, 11013] and recent re-investigation in [Gałyńska, M.; Ásgeirsson, V.; Jónsson, H.; Bjornsson, R. , 2021, 12, 1250-1255], the dimethylpiperazine cation (DMP) has generated considerable discussion and controversy in the scientific literature over the existence of stable, local energy minima in this molecular system. Specifically, prior assumptions that the Rydberg state and radical cation of DMP are similar have led to significant confusion and debate regarding the accuracy of various quantum chemistry methods and the existence of stable configurations of DMP itself. The purpose of this Viewpoint is to highlight recent studies that call into question the main findings in the previously mentioned works as well as present new CCSDT (Coupled-Cluster with Single, Double, and Triple excitations) calculations to finally bring closure to this controversy.

Lone-pair expression is significantly influenced by geometric constraints in hybrid metal halides (HMHs). Two-dimensional (2D) HMHs possess reduced structural dimensionality, allowing for a wide range of off-center displacement of the metal center. However, the effect of lone-pair-induced off-center distortion on the geometric configuration of inorganic units, electronic properties, and exciton emissions in 2D HMHs remains unclear.

In this work, we report the synthesis of two cobalt-based porous coordination polymers (PCPs): [Co(BTC)(HO)] (1) and [Co(BTC)(DMP)] (2) [where BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate and DMP = 3,5-dimethylpyrazole]. These compounds were characterized using a range of physicochemical techniques, including UV-DRS, FT-IR, SCXRD, PXRD, TGA, and FE-SEM/EDX. The synthesized PCPs effectively catalyzed the degradation of various persistent organic pollutants (POPs) rapidly, which includes both cationic and anionic dyes such as Malachite Green (MG), Methylene Blue (MB), Indigo Carmine (IC), Methyl Orange (MO), Orange G (OG), and Eriochrome Black T (EBT).

The C3-symmetry ionic polymer PPyTri has been designed with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) or graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and studied as an ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor for trace Hg(II) detection. The synthesis approach incorporated attaching three pyridinium cationic components with chloride anions to the triazine core. The precursors, BPy, were synthesized using a condensation process involving 4-pyridine carboxaldehyde and focused nicotinic hydrazide.

Halide perovskites are excellent candidate materials for use in solar cell, LED, and detector devices, in part because their composition can be tuned to achieve ideal optoelectronic properties. Empirical efficiency optimization has led the field toward compositions rich in FA (formamidinium) on the A-site and I on the X-site, with additional small amounts of MA (methylammonium) or Cs A-site cations and Br X-site anions. However, it is not clear how and why the specific compositions of alloyed, that is, mixed component, halide perovskites relate to photo-stability of the materials.
