A hafnium-based metal-organic framework as an efficient and multifunctional catalyst for facile CO2 fixation and regioselective and enantioretentive epoxide activation.

TL;DR: A new Hf-based metal-organic framework (Hf-NU-1000) incorporating Hf6 clusters is reported, demonstrating high catalytic efficiency for the activation of epoxides and facilitating the quantitative chemical fixation of CO2 into five-membered cyclic carbonates under ambient conditions, rendering this material an excellent catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autonomous artificial nanomotor powered by sunlight

TL;DR: The investigated system is a unique example of an artificial linear nanomotor that behaves as an autonomous linear motor and operates with a quantum efficiency up to ≈12% and works in mild environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functionalizing Pillar[n]arenes

TL;DR: The routes to chemically modified pillar[n]arenes are described by discussing the chemistry of their functionalization: monofunctionalization, difunctionalized, rim differentiation, perfunctionalization, and phenylene substitution and the synthetic complications of employing these functionalization procedures are assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whence Molecular Electronics

TL;DR: Several types of molecular electronics devices, such as molecular rectifiers and molecular switch tunnel junctions, have withstood scientific scrutiny and will most likely consist of hybrid devices that combine molecular with existing electronics.
Journal ArticleDOI

A reversible molecular valve

TL;DR: A reversibly operating nanovalve that can be turned on and off by redox chemistry is demonstrated and traps and releases molecules from a maze of nanoscopic passageways in silica by controlling the operation of redox-activated bistable [2]rotaxane molecules tethered to the openings of nanopores leading out of a nanoscale reservoir.
