Impact of Jason-2/T2L2 Ultra-Stable-Oscillator Frequency Model on DORIS stations coordinates and Earth Orientation Parameters
Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated on Satellite (DORIS)is a tracking technique based on a one-way ground to space Doppler link.For Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, DORIS shows a robust capability interms of data coverage and availability, due to a wide and well-distributedground network, where data are made available by the International DorisService (IDS). However, systematic errors remain in the DORIS data, suchas instabilities of the on-board clock due to radiation encountered in space,which limit the accurate determination of station positions.The DORIS on-board clock frequency stability is degraded by the increased radiation found in the region of the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA)and has been shown to degrade station position estimation. This paper in-troduces a new model correction to the DORIS data for the frequency ofthe Jason-2 Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO), derived from the Time Transferby Laser Link (T2L2) experiment (Belli and Exertier, 2018). We show thata multi-satellite DORIS solution including this T2L2-corrected data appliedto the frequency modelling for The DORIS data, improves the estimationof station coordinates. We show the tie residuals with respect to collocatedGPS stations are improved by several millimeters. We also demonstratethat the 117-day (Jason-2) draconitic signal in the geophysical parametersis reduced, implying that the origin of this signal is not just solar radiationpressure mis-modeling, but also radiation-induced clock perturbations onthe Jason-2 DORIS Ultra-Stable-Oscillator (USO). Finally we demonstratethrough comparisons with the International Earth Rotations and ReferenceSystems Service (IERS) C04 series for Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP),that the estimation of EOP is improved in both a Jason-2 DORIS-only anda multi-satellite DORIS solution for EOP.

A Diazo Linker Ligand Promotes Flexibility and Induced Fit Binding in a Microporous Copper Coordination Network
Abstract Flexible organic linkers represent an intuitive and effective strategy to design flexible metal–organic materials. We report herein a systematic study concerning the effect of varying the central bond of mixed pyridyl‐benzoate linkers, L, upon the flexibility of three isostructuralkddtopology microporous coordination networks (CNs) of formula ML 2 :X‐kdd‐1‐Cu,1= L = (E)‐4‐(pyridin‐4‐yldiazenyl)benzoate;X‐kdd‐2‐Cu,2= L = (E)‐4‐(2‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)vinyl)benzoate; the previously reportedX‐kdd‐3‐Cu,3= L = 4‐(pyridin‐4‐ylethynyl)benzoate. As revealed by single crystal x‐ray diffraction (SCXRD) and gas sorption studies,X‐kdd‐1‐Cu, exhibited gate‐opening during CO 2 and hydrocarbon (C2 and C8) sorption experiments whereas the other two CNs did not. Insight into these phase transformations was gained from in situ variable‐pressure and variable temperature powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD), SCXRD, and modeling. Rotation of ligand1around the diazo bond, torsion angle changes between phenyl and carboxylate moieties, and deformation of the Cu‐based rod building blocks enabled activatedX‐kdd‐1‐Cuto form new phases with C8 isomers and CH 2 Cl 2 , CH 2 Cl 2 inducing contraction of the activated phase. Computational studies suggest that1enables flexibility thanks to its lower barrier of deformation versus2or3. This study teaches that diazo moieties could offer a general strategy to enhance the flexibility of CNs.

Enhanced Carbon‐Carbon Coupling at Interfaces with Abrupt Coordination Number Changes
Abstract Cu‐catalyzed electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) produces multi‐carbon (C 2+ ) chemicals with considerable selectivities and activities, yet required high overpotentials impede its practical application. Here, we design interfaces with abrupt coordination number (CN) changes that greatly reduce the applied potential for achieving high C 2+ Faradaic efficiency (FE). Encouraged by the mechanistic finding that the coupling between *CO and *CO(H) is the most probable C−C bond formation path, we use Cu 2 O‐ and Cu‐phthalocyanine‐derived Cu (OD−Cu and PD−Cu) to build the interface. Using operando X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), we find that the Cu CN of OD−Cu is ~11, favoring CO* adsorption, while the PD−Cu has a COH*‐favorable CN of ~4. Operando Raman spectroscopy revealed that the interfaces with abrupt CN changes promote *OCCOH formation. As a result, the designed catalyst achieves a C 2+ FE of 85±2 % at 220 mA cm −2 in a zero‐gap CO 2 electrolyzer. An improvement of C 2+ FE by 3 times is confirmed at the low potential regime where the current density is 60–140 mA cm −2 , compared to bare OD−Cu. We report a 45‐h stable CO 2 RR operation at 220 mA cm −2 , producing a C 2+ product FE of ~80 %.

Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis of Pentlandite due to the Increases in Coordination Number and Sulfur Vacancy during Cubic‐Hexagonal Phase Transition
Abstract The search for new phases is an important direction in materials science. The phase transition of sulfides results in significant changes in catalytic performance, such as MoS 2 and WS 2 . Cubic pentlandite [cPn, (Fe, Ni) 9 S 8 ] can be a functional material in batteries, solar cells, and catalytic fields. However, no report about the material properties of other phases of pentlandite exists. In this study, the unit‐cell parameters of a new phase of pentlandite, sulfur‐vacancy enriched hexagonal pentlandite (hPn), and the phase boundary between cPn and hPn are determined for the first time. Compared to cPn, the hPn shows a high coordination number, more sulfur vacancies, and high conductivity, which result in significantly higher hydrogen evolution performance of hPn than that of cPn and make the non‐nano rock catalyst hPn superior to other most known nanosulfide catalysts. The increase of sulfur vacancies during phase transition provides a new approach to designing functional materials.

Covalent Triazine-Based Frameworks with Ru-tda Based Catalyst Anchored via Coordination Bond for Photoinduced Water Oxidation
Light-induced water splitting (hν-WS) for the production of hydrogen as a solar fuel is considered a promising sustainable strategy for the replacement of fossil fuels. An efficient system for hν-WS involves a photoactive material that, upon shining light, is capable of separating and transferring charges to catalysts for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution processes. Covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTFs) represent an interesting class of 2D organic light-absorbing materials that have recently emerged thanks to their tunable structural, optical and morphological properties. Typically, catalysts (Cat) are metallic nanoparticles generated in situ after photoelectroreduction of metal precursors or directly drop-casted on top of the CTF material to generate Cat-CTF assemblies. Here, in this work, the synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic performance of a novel hybrid material, Ru-CTF, is reported, based on a CTF structure featuring dangling pyridyl groups that allow the Ru-tda (tda is [2,2':6',2'“-terpyridine]-6,6'”-dicarboxylic acid) water oxidation catalyst (WOC) unit to coordinate via covalent bond. The Ru-CTF molecular hybrid material can carry out the light-induced water oxidation reaction efficiently at neutral pH, reaching values of maximum TOF of 17 h -1 and TONs in the range of 220 using sodium persulfate as a sacrificial electron acceptor.

Understanding the Origin of Negative Temperature Dependence and Activity of N-Coordinated Cobalt Sites During Ethylene Dimerization
The on-demand production of short-chain linear alpha olefins (LAOs; C4-C8) via C2H4 dimerization and oligomerization is industrially attractive, prompting extensive research on designing active, selective, and stable catalysts for industrial use. Cobalt supported on ammoniated carbon (Co(NH3)x/C) catalysts have shown remarkable activity and selectivity in this process. However, critical aspects such as the active phase, active site structure, the role of the catalyst support, cobalt loading effects, and the inverse correlation of the reaction rate with temperature remain inadequately understood. This study systematically explores these factors using a combination of steady-state differential catalytic tests, in situ molecular characterization including diffuse reflectance UV-Vis (DR-UV-Vis), Infrared, and Raman spectroscopies, and ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high annular aberration-corrected dark field transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM). Various supports (SiO2, Al2O3, NH4-ZSM-5, g-C3N4, and C) and cobalt loadings (1.0-3.0 Co nm-2) were studied to determine the optimal catalyst composition and identify the active phase and sites. Carbon-supported catalysts uniquely produce C4-8 LAOs during C2H4 dimerization, with site-time-yield remaining constant (~10-3 s-1) for 1.0-4.0 Co nm-2 at prolonged reaction times (24-48?h time-on-stream). At higher loadings of 6.0 Co nm-2, the formation of crystalline CoO and Co3O4 phases reduces catalytic activity and LAO selectivity. Our findings show that active catalysts lack crystalline cobalt oxides and instead feature dispersed Co2+ sites, tetra-coordinated to a mix of N/NH3 and O/H2O ligands, which catalyze C2H4 dimerization via the Cossee-Arlman mechanism, exhibiting 1st order dependence on C2H4 concentration. The observed inverse rate-temperature correlation is attributed to compensation effects (i.e., presence of Cremer-Constable relationship) linked to changes in adsorption enthalpic and entropic factors.

Ammonium-coordinated exchanger (ACE) functionalized silica sorbents for recovering/removing aqueous anionic contaminants
There are limited studies of functionalized silica anion exchange sorbents used for critical/heavy metal recovery/removal relative to polymeric and other inorganic materials. This work features ammonium-coordinated exchanger (ACE) anion exchange particle sorbents prepared by either acid-washing epoxy-crosslinked polyethylenimine (PEI) hydrogen bonded within/to a silica particle sorbent (two-step method) or reacting a di-chlorinated crosslinker, α,α-dichloro-p-xylene (DPX), with PEI within silica (single-step method). Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of -NH 2 + ···Cl - and -NH 3 + ···Cl - groups, which removed oxyanionic species –arsenate, selenate, chromate, sulfate, phosphate, and nitrate– plus bromide from ideal solutions, authentic acid mine drainage (AMD), and authentic flue gas desulfurization (FGD) wastewater. Affinity of the anions for ACE varied across single- and mixed-element solutions. However, affinity for CrO 4 2- was among the highest in both cases. Total anion uptake by the optimized ACE, PEI-E3-HCl_1.1, reached 1.2 mmol anion/g-sorb. (0.56 mmol CrO 4 2- /g), or ∼2.3 mmol negative charge/g-sorb. This was close to the 0.52 mmol CrO 4 2- /g of a commercial anion exchange resin. Near-consistent removal of 20–80 % of each anion from FGD during an eight-cycle adsorption-desorption (1 M NaCl) test predicted good ACE viability for testing under practical conditions at larger scale.

Integrating three plan evaluation approaches for coordinated heat resilience in cities across the Arizona urban corridor
Increasing heat poses a growing threat to cities worldwide due to both climate change and the urban heat island effect. While heat planning and governance are still emergent, research suggests that silos and conflicts within cities' networks of plans often impede heat resilience. Integrated heat resilience planning, therefore, requires a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the silos and conflicts relevant to heat resilience within networks of plans. This study is the first to combine three complementary plan evaluation methods to assess how cities' networks of plans address heat resilience. We applied 1) plan cross-referencing, 2) Plan Quality Evaluation for Heat Resilience, and 3) Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard™ (PIRS™) for Heat to 19 plans from seven Arizona cities. We find similarities and differences in how these cities' networks of plans address heat hazards. The plans have consistently high-quality participation and coordination principles but lack details on vulnerability and climate change uncertainty, suggesting a need to move beyond immediate heat risks. We also identify opportunities to diversify policy mechanisms, spatially target high heat risk areas, and enhance the connection between planning efforts. These results validate that plan elements are interlinked and the importance of integrative plan development processes to improve heat resilience.

A streamline coordinate analysis of a turbulent boundary layer subject to pressure gradients and curvature on the windward side of a bump
Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a turbulent boundary layer over the Gaussian (Boeing) bump is performed. This boundary layer exhibits a series of adverse and favourable pressure gradients and convex and concave curvature effects before separating. These effects on turbulent boundary layers are characterised and compared with a lower-Reynolds-number flow over the same geometry. The momentum budgets are analysed in the streamline-aligned coordinate system upstream of the separation region. These momentum budgets allow the simplification of equations to facilitate an integral analysis. Integral-analysis-based approximations for Reynolds stresses in the inner and outer regions of the boundary layer are also formulated. The shear and wall-normal Reynolds stress profiles normalised by these approximations exhibit a better collapse compared with friction velocity and Zagarola–Smits normalisations in the strong favourable pressure gradient region and in the mild adverse pressure region that precedes it in this flow. Simplification of these Reynolds stress approximations along with results from the DNS are used to obtain semi-empirical approximations that are able to provide stress closure in terms of wall solution fields for the turbulent boundary layer under consideration.

X-ray Scintillating Lanthanide-Based Coordination Polymers
Reported are the syntheses and characterization of 25 lanthanide-containing coordination polymers exhibiting four structure types: type I′: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (bpy)] (Ln = La 3+ –Nd 3+ ), type I: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (bpy)(H 2 O)] (Ln = Sm 3+ –Lu 3+ ), type II′: [Pr(TFTP) 1.5 (phen)], and type II: [Ln(TFTP) 1.5 (phen)(H 2 O)] (Ln = Nd 3+ –Yb 3+ , excluding Pm). These compounds feature lanthanide metal cations bound to tetrafluoroterephthalate linkers (TFTP) and either, 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) capping ligands. Initial calculations using crystallographic data revealed large void spaces, ranging from 86 Å 3 in type I to 333 Å 3 in type II. Yet, adsorption isotherm data indicate very little gas uptake of both materials with a BET surface area of 9 m 2 /g for I-Tb (8) and 19 m 2 /g for II-Tb (20). X-ray irradiation of I-Eu (6), II-Eu (18), I-Tb (8), and II-Tb (20) produced visible red and green emission, respectively. Furthermore, radioluminescence studies of both type I and II with Sm 3+ , Eu 3+ , and Tb 3+ metal centers indicate that both structure types featuring Tb 3+ are brighter than those with Eu 3+ or Sm 3+ . Notably, structure type I with Tb 3+ is the brightest scintillator with a relative luminosity of 1.7× that of bismuth germanate (BGO).

Redox Chemistry Mediated Control of Morphology and Properties in Electrically Conductive Coordination Polymers: Opportunities and Challenges
Coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted significant research interest in the past several decades due to their reticular structures and modularity. However, realizing electrically conductive CPs or MOFs with comparable properties to classic conducting organic polymers has only been a recent development. This emerging class of materials has found wide appli-cation in many fields due to combined features of structural rigidity, chemical tunability, porosity, and charge transport. Alongside many studies revealing myriad design approaches to access these materials, the role that redox chemistry plays in both material synthesis and modulation of electronic properties has been an emerging theme. This perspective provides a brief overview of select examples where redox chemistry medi-ates control of morphology and properties in electrically conductive CPs/MOFs. Here, the challenges and limitations in this area are also discussed. Particular challenges include the characterization of redox states in these materials and measuring and understanding highly correlated elec-tronic properties and other unusual physical phenomena which may be important for potential applications.
