Ya-Liang Lai, Xue-Zhi Wang, Rui-Rong Dai, Yong-Liang Huang, Xian-Chao Zhou,Xiao-Ping Zhou * and Dan LiAbstract:Two mixed-valence CuII/CuI and two heterometallic CuII/AgI metallocycles have been synthesized by the assembly of designed metalloligands and CuI/AgI ions, respectively. The CuII/CuI metallocycle can catalyze the oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes mediated by a co-catalyst, TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperdine-1-oxyl), with ambient air as an oxidant, while the CuII/AgI metallocycle has n

Ji Zheng, Zhou Lu, Kun Wu, Guo-Hong Ning,* and Dan Li*ABSTRACT: Among the d10 coinage metal complexes, cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) or trinuclear metallocycles with intratrimer metal−metal interactions are fascinating and important metal−organic or organometallic π-acids/bases. Each CTC of characteristic planar or near-planar trimetal nine-membered rings consists of Au(I)/Ag(I)/Cu(I) cations that linearly coordinate with N and/or C atoms in ditopic anionic bridging ligands. Since the first

Su-Kao Peng, Zhou Lu, Mo Xie, Yong-Liang Huang, Dong Luo, Jia-Nan Wang, Xiao-Wei Zhu, Xue Li, Xiao-Ping Zhou * and Dan Li *Abstract:Polynuclear silver clusters are described that unexpectedly transform from cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) upon reacting with σ-donating phenylacetylene, featuring a noria-like conformation. The introduction of foreign copper ions leads to isomorphic bimetallic Ag/Cu clusters, with a boost in the photoluminescence quantum yield relative to the original silver clu

Rong-Jia Wei†, Hou-Gan Zhou†, Zhi-Yin Zhang, Guo-Hong Ning* Dan Li*Abstract:Metal clusters exhibit diverse structures, emerging functions, and applications; thus, incorporating clusters into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) brings tremendous merits. Although the construction of cluster-based MOFs is sophisticated, the reticular materials constructed from a combination of the chemistry of metal clusters and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) remain unexplored. Herein, we prepared two Cu(I) cluste

Ting Liu, Bin Wang*, Ru He, Hadi Arman, Kirk S. Schanze, Shengchang Xiang, Dan Li*, and Banglin Chen*Abstract: A novel fluorescent hydrogen-bonded organic framework with a double fold interpenetrated structure, HOF-22, has been successfully constructed and structurally characterized. HOF-22 is capable of sensitive detection of two representative organic arsenics from aqueous solution.Key words:hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), sensing, fluorescence quenching, organic arsenics.文章链接：Can J

Hao Huang, Xu-Sheng Wang, Davin Philo, Fumihiko Ichihara, Hui Song, Yunxiang Li, Dan Li, Teng Qiu*, Shengyao Wang*, Jinhua*ABSTRACT:The fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen to ammonia is one of the most essential processes for sustaining life. Since the N^N bond in dinitrogen is one of the strongest bonds in chemistry, it remains a grand challenge to develop efficient catalysts for fixation of N2 under ambient conditions. Herein we report for the first time on visible-lightassisted photocatalytic
