The three-dimensional structure of d[CGTA'CG], where A' = [2-NH2-A], was determined to atomic (1.35 A) resolution by single isomorphous replacement. The d[CGTA'CG] hexamer crystallizes in space group P3221, and is not isomorphous with other DNA hexanucleotides. Despite completely different crystal packing, the essential characteristics of the Z-DNA conformation are maintained. The structure was determined by single isomorphous replacement using a triammine platinum fragment. Thus, this study also demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of the use of this reagent for the direct phasing of DNA crystal structures.

Rare-earth (RE) metals are known as industrial vitamins and show significant regulatory effects in many fields. In this work, we first demonstrated that the vitamin effect of RE metals can also be applied to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Using a SnRE oxo cluster as the universal platform, different individual RE metal ions were successfully doped to obtain a series of isomorphic heterometallic clusters (RE = Y, Sm, Eu, Ho, Er).

The synthesis and structural characterisation of [Ln(Tp)]I (1-Ln; Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) (Tp = hydrotris(3-(2'-furyl)-pyrazol-1-yl)borate) have been reported as an isomorphous series adopting pseudo-icosahedral ligand field geometries. Continuous shape measurement (CShM) analyses on the crystal field environments of 1-Ln show the smallest values yet reported for complexes employing two hexadentate ligands (-scorpionate environments), with the smallest belonging to 1-La. Single-ion magnetism for 1-Ce, 1-Pr and 1-Nd was probed with ac magnetic susceptibility studies revealing slow magnetic relaxation for 1-Nd in applied magnetic fields and in zero-applied field for 1-Ce, which is a rare observation for Ce(III)-based single-ion magnets.

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of three isomorphous lanthanide-based metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) (Ln=Eu (1), Tb (2), and Sm (3)) supported by a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide-based linker offering appended arylcarboxylate groups. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies highlight that these Ln-MOFs present three-dimensional porous architectures offering large cavities decorated with hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) groups. These Ln-MOFs display noteworthy luminescent characteristics.

The coadsorption of anionic and cationic pollutants on adsorbents holds considerable importance in the development of relevant removal technologies and the understanding of pollutant transport in complex environmental media. Herein, tungsten (W), an emerging contaminant, and nickel (Ni) were chosen as two differently charged inorganic pollutants to investigate their removal characteristics on a magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) prepared via microwave radiation. In the single systems, the amount of adsorbed W on LDH was initially increased and then decreased with increasing initial W concentration.
