A couple of novel crystalline aluminium(III) derivatives containing tridentate Schiff base ligand (HL) and β-diketones (acetylacetone = acac, benzoylacetone = bnzac, dibenzoylmethane = dbnz) viz [Al(L)bnzac] [Al1], [Al(L)dnbz] [Al2] and [Al(L)acac] [Al3] were synthesized and characterized well using different spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis of Al2 & Al3 exhibited hexacoordinated geometry around aluminium centre atom. The ring opening polymerization (ROP) of caprolactone (CL) was evaluated to determine the catalytic potential of the complexes Al1-Al3 in absence as well as in presence of benzyl alcohol. IEnd group study was performed using MALDI-TOF spectrometry and 1H NMR spectral analysis verified the existence of the -OBn group as an end group. First order kinetics were found in the monomer aligned with the activated monomer mechanism for the catalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) was carried out to optimize the geometries at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level.

Monoliths are versatile materials with diverse applications, and their performance can be enhanced through modifications, including the use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Modified monoliths improve separation and analytical processes in various fields, with different modification methods offering distinct benefits and challenges. Directly adding MOF crystals to the polymerization mixture is straightforward and time effective, but it often results in poor dispersion and compositional heterogeneity, which compromises consistency and reproducibility, particularly in bioanalytical applications.

The morphology modulation of target crystals is important for understanding their growth mechanisms and potential applications. Herein, we report a convenient method for modulating the morphology of MoO by controlling different growth temperatures. With an increase in growth temperature, the morphology of MoO changes from a nanoribbon to a nanoflake.

Based on the magnetic sensitivity of FeO in various fields, we aimed to propose a one-step solvothermal process for the synthesis of single-phase FeO induced by the reaction medium and urea, avoiding high-temperature reduction in H or N atmospheres. Feasibility was tested with purified water (HO), methyl alcohol (MA), ethyl alcohol (EA), and ethylene glycol (EG) as reaction media. The findings indicated that the solvothermal reaction system utilizing EA was more effective for the synthesis of cubic magnetic FeO.

The growth of large semiconductor crystals is crucial for advancing modern electronics and optoelectronics. While various crystal growth techniques have been developed for lead halide perovskites, a significant challenge remains: as crystal size increases, performance tends to deteriorate dramatically. This study addresses the inherent limitations of perovskite crystal growth by designing a novel strategy for near-equilibrium growth system to maintain optimal conditions throughout the process.

In this work, an Eu coordination polymer () was synthesized by a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation based upon complex under the stimulation of water molecules ({[Eu(bpdc)(HO)]·4HO} (), {[Eu(bpdc)(HO)]·5HO} (), and Hbpdc = 2,2'-bipyridine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid ligand). Complex exhibited considerable pH fluorescence stability in an aqueous solution. Notably, the experiment showed that complex achieved high selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of the notorious food additive melamine (MEL) through a significant fluorescence enhancement response; and yet complex had no fluorescent response with MEL.
