For this purpose, high-pressure water intrusion together with high-pressure in situ small-angle n

Jian-Ping Bai,Yong-Liang Huang,Mo Xie, Yifang Zhao, Dong Luo, Yan Yan Li, Weigang Lu,* and Dan Li*ABSTRACT:Solvothermal reaction of zinc meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)-porphyrin and 2,6-diaminopurine with zinc salt in DMF affords a threedimensional bioMOF (1-α). Its infinite rod-shaped building block features an alternation of octahedral Zn4O and paddle-wheel Zn2 clusters bridged by 2,6-diaminopurines. The paddle-wheel Zn2 cluster undergoes reversible transformation with half into quasi-paddle-whee

The 24-nuclear molecule presents a C60@Cu24 core-shell structure with a rhombicuboctahedron Cu24 coated on the C60 core, representing the highest nuclearity in metallofullerene. The resultant complexes show an efficient a

Xu-Sheng Wang, Lan Li, Dan Li,* and Jinhua Ye*ABSTRACT:Solar energy, a clean and sustainable energy source, can be harvested and converted to solar fuel to meet the ever-increasing energy demand. Integrating the photosensitizers and active catalytic sites into a single solid, metal–organic framework (MOF) with high void architectures and tunable chemical struc- tures, is proposed as a promising platform for photocatalysis. However, compared with the traditional inorganic photocatalysts, the phot

However, most of these dichromatic MOFs were constructed through encapsulation of dye molecules, and ones with intrinsic dual-emission from ligands and/or metal ions are still rare. Herein, we report a novel Eu-MOF (1) composed of trinuclear europium clusters and 2,6-n
