Shun-Ze Zhan,* Mian Li, Ji Zheng, Qiu-Juan Wang, Seik Weng Ng, and Dan Li*Abstract:Six daughter complexes based on two-dimensional (2-D) luminescent Cu4I4−Cu3Pz3 (Pz = pyrazolate) coordination networks, which exhibit an uncommon Cu4I4L3L′ (L = pyridine; L′ = acetonitrile, pyridine, pyrazine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, triphenylphosphine, none) local configuration, were prepared through a postsynthetic modification method starting from a parent complex (L′ = NH3). This work has successfully i

Jun-Hao Wang, Dong Luo, Mian Li, and Dan Li*Abstract:This account demonstrates that under regulated synthetic conditions the protonated carboxyl sites in a neutralmetal−organic framework (MOF), known as MOF-324 [formulated as Zn3OH(PzC)2(HPzC), H2PzC = 4-pyrazolecarboxylic acid], can undergo complete deprotonation, yielding NH4@ZnPzC[formulated as NH4·Zn3OH(PzC)3]. This modified, anionic framework with a pcu-g net is thus capable of postsynthetic cation exchange,which is highly modular, encompas

Zhiyu Jia, Zicheng Zuo, Yuanping Yi, Huibiao Liu, Dan Li, Yongjun Li, and Yulian Li*Abstract:Carbon Ene-yne (CEY), a novel two-dimensional full carbon material, was synthesized from tetraethynylethene.Compared with the traditional preparation method of carbon materials, CEY was synthesized by chemical method in solvent-phase under mild condition (low temperature, atmospheric pressure). Diyne of CEY were connected through vinyl groups which is help for π-electron transition, thus this new materia

Ying Zhang,* Yao-Qin Feng, Xin-Xin Tian, Jun-Hao Wang,* Honggang Li, Gaoyi Han,* and Dan LiAbstract:Limited works are reported about off–on type mechanochromic luminogens (MLs) owing to notorious quenching effect and lacking of reliable guidance. Here a novel strategy is proposed to develop off–on type ML based on phenanthroimidazole (PI) derivative by controlling the intersystem crossing (ISC) process through variation of packing mode. This work offers a molecular level understanding of the cor

Heng Zeng, Weigang Lu,* Leiduan Hao, Gregory L Helms, Qiang Zhang,* Zhiping LuoAbstract:In this work, we demonstrated the successful synthesis of porous organic polymers via a ball-milling procedure. Several readily available benzene derivatives were selected to be polymerized through a Friedel–Crafts reaction with FeCl3 as the Lewis acid catalyst and formaldehyde dimethyl acetal as the crosslinker. All the mechano-synthesized porous organic polymers (MPOPs) are not soluble in common organic sol

Liping Zhao, Juan Qiao, Ke Zhang, Dan Li, Hongyi Zhang,* and Li Qi*Abstract:A chiral ligand exchange capillary electrochromatography (CLE-CEC) protocol was designed andimplemented for d,l-amino acids enantioseparation with poly(maleic anhydride-styrene-methacryloyl-l-arginine methyl ester) as the coating. The block copolymer was synthesized through the reversibleaddition fragmentation chain transfer reaction. In the constructed CLE-CEC system, poly (methacryloyl-l-arginine methyl ester) moiety o
