Covalent organic framework (COF) has been recognized as a disruptive material for fabricating organic molecular sieve membranes. Acquiring crystalline and defect-free COF membranes directly on polymeric substrates is important for practical applications yet is highly challenging. In this study, a noncovalent complex (NCX) modulated fabrication of COF membrane on hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (HPAN) substrate via counter diffusion is proposed. The triaminoguanidine chloride-phytic acid noncovalent complex (Tg-PA NCX) is uniformly introduced onto the HPAN substrate, transferring the substrate into an ideal seeding layer and catalytic platform for COF nucleation and growth. Enhanced Tg monomer concentration derived from NCX enhance its concentration near the surface is observed, facilitating the heterogeneous nucleation for COF fabrication. In addition, the PA in the NCX acted as a catalyst, promoting the growth of the highly crystalline COF membrane afterward. The resulting TgTb/NCX/HPAN membrane shows a defect-free surface with high crystallinity. Also, it displays over 90% rejection to various dyes rejection rates (e.g., Evans blue, Methyl blue, Congo red, and Amido Black) and high solvent permeation for organic solvents (e.g., ethanol: 57.9 ± 2.1 L mh bar, n-hexane: 215.0 ± 2.7 L mh bar). This work holds great potential as a platform technology for fabricating high-performance organic molecular sieve membranes.

Metal complexes have long played a pivotal role in analytical chemistry due to their ability to detect and separate ions through the synergistic interaction between metal centers and ligands. This functionality can be further enhanced by integrating metal complexes non-covalently with various media, such as materials or separation platforms. Over the past four decades, the author has explored metal complex systems, including thiacalixarene-lanthanide(III) complexes, diradical platinum(II) complexes, and MOF-74, which exhibit a broad spectrum of functionalities spanning analytical applications to theranostics.

This study investigates mixed-carboxylate benzoate (bz)-pentafluorobenzoate (pfb) {EuZn} and {TbZn} compounds with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) molecules. It is demonstrated that variation of the synthesis conditions yields mixed-carboxylate compounds with different compositions: [LnZn(phen)(bz)(pfb)] (Ln = Eu (1Eu), Tb (1Tb)) and [EuZn(phen)(bz)(pfb)]·4MeCN (2Eu). In these structures, bz and pfb anions occupy specific positions in various ratios.

π-Hole interactions between a metal-bound halide and a quinoid ring are described in four novel isostructural co-crystals with the formula [Cu(terpy)ClX]·X'Q (terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine; Q = quinone; X = Br, I; X' = Cl, Br). An unusually strong π-hole interaction between Cu-X and the quinoid ring is noted. Periodic DFT computations estimate the energy of the X⋯quinone interaction to be -20.

Intermolecular charge-transfer (xCT) excited states important for various practical applications are challenging for many standard computational methods. It is highly desirable to have an affordable method that can treat xCT states accurately. In the present work, we extend our self-consistent perturbation methods, named one-body second-order Møller-Plesset and its spin-opposite scaling variant (O2BMP2), for excited states without additional costs to the ground state.

Synthetic systems have co-opted urease, a crucial enzyme serving many biological functions, to recapitulate complex biological features. Therefore, the urease-urea feedback reaction network (FCRN) is reciprocated with soft materials to induce various animate-like features, including self-regulation, error correction, and decision-making capabilities, that are processed through a variety of non-linear functions. Although free-urease-based homogeneous systems are capable of adhering to many non-linear characteristics, they lack the ability to showcase the diffusion-controlled spatiotemporal phenomena.
