TL;DR: The observation of an all-boron fullerene-like cage cluster at B40(-) with an extremely low electron-binding energy is reported, by photoelectron spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations show that this arises from a cage structure with a large energy gap, but that a quasi-planar isomer of B40 (-) with two adjacent hexagonal holes is slightly more stable than the fullerenes structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a sulfonate-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was constructed with Jahn-Teller distorted Cu(II) centers and a mixed-linker (organosulfonate and N-donor) system.

TL;DR: A general synthetic orthogonal assembly approach to controllably construct 3D multilayer-crossed metal oxide nanowire arrays for woodpile-like 3D nanostructures and can be generalized to different doped metaloxide nanowires, which provides a way to manipulate their physical properties for various applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a mesoporous material for phosphate removal with high efficiency and minimized sludge treatment or disposal problems has been developed, which can prevent the excessive growth of blue green algae and thus have great potential in water body quality control and protection.

TL;DR: This study has provided an efficient strategy for the synthesis of a MOF-based composites with improved performance and a ligand-competition amorphization mechanism is proposed based on experimental and density functional theory calculation results.
