The emergence of visible-light photocatalytic frameworks provides a sustainable technology for dealing with CO2 greenhouse gas. Herein, the solvothermal reaction of copper(I) cyclic trinuclear complex (Cu-CTC) with 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde (2,5-DHTA) or 3,3'-dihydroxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4,4'-dicarbaldehyde (3,3'-DHBDA) led to two crystalline hcb topological copper(I)-organic frameworks USTB-48 and USTB-49, respectively. The post-cobaltization of 2-(benzylideneamino)phenol units in these two frameworks, providing the active catalytic centers in obtained USTB-48(Co) and USTB-49(Co) for photocatalysis of CO2 reduction. The parent frameworks and post-modificated species have been thoroughly characterized through powder X-ray diffraction analysis and various spectroscopies. The combination of trinuclear copper units and single cobalt centers is able to achieve the CO generation rate up to ca. 8451 μmol·g-1·h-1 and 96% selectivity for USTB-48(Co).

Research involving coordination chemistry with Schiff base hydrazones finds applications in various areas, particularly in bioinorganic chemistry and biomedicine. This work aims to contribute to this field by employing the ligand (E)-2-((2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)hydrazone)methyl)phenol (HL), synthesized via a condensation reaction with salicylic aldehyde. The ligand was isolated, characterized, and subsequently complexed with nickel(II) chloride and copper(II) nitrate, yielding three new crystalline complexes: [Ni(HL)] (), [Ni(L)(Py)(EtOH)]·DMF·0.

Lithium (Li) metal has gained attention as an anode material for lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) owing to its low electrochemical potential, high specific capacity, and low density. However, the accumulation of Li dendrites and unstable solid electrolyte interphases, caused by sluggish Li migration and uneven Li deposition, limit practical LMB applications. This study presents the first report on redox-active metal-covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) with dual-active centers as functional separators for LMBs.

The self-assembly reaction of 2-benzylaminoethanol (Hbae) with CuCl or Cu(NO) leads to the formation of binuclear [Cu(bae)(Cl)] (1) and [Cu(Hbae)(bae)](NO) (2) complexes, while the trinuclear [Cu(Hbae)(bae)(dmba)](NO) (3) compound was obtained using the auxiliar bulky substituted 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid (Hdmba). Crystallographic studies reveal the molecular structures of 1 and 2 based on the similar {Cu(μ-O)} core, while the structure of 3 features the {Cu(μ-O)} core with consecutive arranement of the metal centres, supported by the additional carboxylate bridges. The strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds join the molecular structures into 1D (for 1 and 3) or 2D (for 2) architectures.
