TL;DR: A robust 3D pcu Co(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) based on a designed bent pyrimidyl-biimidazole ligand, [Co2(dmimpym)(nda)2]n (1; dmimpym = 4,6-di(2-methyl-IMidazol-1-yl)-pyrimidine, H2nda = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid), was successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions and characterized using single-crystal X

TL;DR: In this article, a self-supported, hierarchical, porous, nitrogen-doped carbon (NC)@CuCo2Nx/carbon fiber (CF) is fabricated and used as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for both HER and OER in alkaline solutions with excellent activity and stability.

TL;DR: The synthesis of a gigantic lanthanide wheel cluster containing 140 Gd3+ atoms is reported, which represents a new member of the molecular wheel family and features an attractive wheel-like structure with 10-fold symmetry.

TL;DR: A donor-acceptor-type fluorophore containing a twisted diphenylacrylonitrile and triphenylamine has been developed by using the Suzuki reaction and indicates typical intramolecular charge-transfer properties.

TL;DR: A Europium-containing metal-organic framework is constructed that selectively converts CO2 to formate with light and highlights opportunities in photo-generation of highly active lanthanide clusters stabilized in MOFs, which not only enables efficient photocatalysis but also facilitates mechanistic investigation of photo-driven charge separation processes.
