Two-in-one tecton strategy to construct single crystalline hydrogen-bonded organic framework with high proton conductivity above 100℃

By tactically integrating two different kinds of proton donors and acceptors into one supramolecular tecton, a new crystalline hydrogen-bonded organic framework(HOF-SXU-1) has been developed. HOF-SXU-1 features a remarkable proton conductivity as high as 6.32 mS cm^(-1) and an extremely low activation energy of 0.16 eV at 160℃ under anhydrous N_(2) conditions.By contrast, under identical conditions, the organic precursors of HOF-SXU-1 only exhibit negligible proton conduction performance, demonstrating that the formation of HOF is crucial for excellent proton conduction performance.

Ultrathin 2D Covalent Organic Framework Film Fabricated via Langmuir-Blodgett Method with a“Two-in-One”Type Monomer

In recent years, covalent organic frameworks(COFs) are evolving as a novel kind of porous materials for catalysis and molecular separation, gas adsorption, etc. Various functional building blocks have been explored to tune the pore channels, including the pore size and structures. In this article, a new terphenyl(TP) based COF(TP-COF) was developed via a “two-in-one” strategy by using a symmetric A2B2monomer, i.e., 4,4''-diamino-2',5'-diformyl-1,1':4',1''-terphenyl(DADFTP). The pore size of TP-COF was only 0.99 nm by shortening the arm length of the DADFTP monomer. Freestanding, continuous and ultrathin COF films could be facilely prepared at the air-liquid interface through the modified Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method. TP-COF films exhibited high rejection of over 90% for dyes removal.

Indexing Non-merohedrally Twinned Crystals by Bruker'sAPEX2 and Agilent's CrysAlis^(PRO), an Example of a Crystal Structure That Can Be Refined through Either the PLATONRoute or the ‘HKLF 5' Route, and, Simultaneous Data Collection of Two Crystals in a Tw

The first part of this report describes the data reduction of non-merohedrally twinned crystals measured on Bruker and Agilent area-detector diffractometers. The image frames of methyl-2-aminopyrazine-3-carboxylate were processed with APEX2 to furnish a set of overlapping diffraction indices that were used for solution and refinement. CrysAlisPRO was used for processing the frames of bis（diethyldicarbamato）nickel, which exists in monoclinic and tetragonal polymorphs, and in untwinned and twinned forms. In the second part, the crystal structure of [（3-formyl-4- hydroxyphenyl）methyl]triphenylphosphanium chloride was refined through the ‘HKLF 5＇（based on a combined set of diffraction indices） and PLATON（based on one set of diffraction indices） routes to give identical outcomes because the amount of overlap of the twin domains is small. For the third part, in a proof-of-concept investigation, the diffraction pattern of untwinned and twinned 4-{（E）-（4-aminophenyl）diazenyl]phenylamine was recorded simultaneously in one run; the three domains could be indexed and the crystal structure satisfactorily refined. The refinement was identical to those derived from independent measurements; the crystal structure features two independent centrosymmetric molecules, one of which is ordered and the other whole-molecule-disordered. This two-in-one run opens up the possibility that two or more crystals having different atomic compositions can be measured simultaneously if their reciprocal lattices do not overlap significantly.
