A Macrocyclic Chelator That Selectively Binds Ln 4+ over Ln 3+ by a Factor of 10 29

A tetravalent cerium macrocyclic complex (CeLK 4 ) was prepared with an octadentate terephthalamide ligand comprised of hard catecholate donors and characterized in the solution state by spectrophotometric titrations and electrochemistry and in the crystal by X-ray diffraction. The solution-state studies showed that L exhibits a remarkably high affinity toward Ce 4+ , with log β 110 = 61(2) and ΔG = -348 kJ/mol, compared with log β 110 = 32.02(2) for the analogous Pr 3+ complex. In addition, L exhibits an unusual preference for forming CeL 4- relative to formation of the analogous actinide complex, ThL 4- , which has β 110 = 53.7(5). The extreme stabilization of tetravalent cerium relative to its trivalent state is also evidenced by the shift of 1.91 V in the redox potential of the Ce 3+ /Ce 4+ couple of the complex (measured at -0.454 V vs SHE). The unprecedented behavior prompted an electronic structure analysis using L 3 - and M 5,4 -edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopies and configuration interaction calculations, which showed that 4f-orbital bonding in CeLK 4 has partial covalent character due to ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) in the ground state. The experimental results are presented in the context of earlier measurements on tetravalent cerium compounds, indicating that the amount of LMCT for CeLK 4 is similar to that observed for [Et 4 N] 2 [CeCl 6 ] and CeO 2 and significantly less than that for the organometallic sandwich compound cerocene, (C 8 H 8 ) 2 Ce. A simple model to rationalize changes in 4f orbital bonding for tri- and tetravalent lanthanide and actinide compounds is also provided.

Catalytic CO Oxidation on MgAl 2 O 4 -Supported Iridium Single Atoms: Ligand Configuration and Site Geometry

Probing and understanding the local chemical environment of an active site is essential for designing high-performance single-atom catalysts (SACs). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the ligand configuration and site geometry of MgAl 2 O 4 -supported iridium single atoms (Ir-1) toward catalytic carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. We employed MgAl 2 O 4 (111) and MgAl 2 O 4 (211) as the model substrates with adsorbed Ir single atoms of different site geometries. DFT calculations revealed that the Mg-site on MgAl 2 O 4 (111) and the step site on MgAl 2 O 4 (211) are the most stable adsorption sites for Ir single atoms. Irrespective of site choices, CO oxidation on supported Ir single atoms follows the Eley-Rideal (E-R) mechanism, in which the surface oxygen vacancies close to the Ir single atoms activate molecular O 2 with a negligible barrier and the rate-limiting step is the gas-phase CO directly attacking the O-Ir species that is modulated by a CO ligand. Furthermore, first-principles X-ray absorption near-edge spectra of reaction intermediates along with in situ/operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) suggest that Ir single atoms adsorb primarily on the step sites of MgAl 2 O 4 . However, microkinetic modeling predicts that a higher activity can be attained on the equally stable Mg-site, maximizing the population of which in catalyst synthesis might prove fruitful in future studies. Electronic structure analysis indicates that the CO ligand increases the reactivity of adsorbed oxygen atoms bound to Ir single atoms by increasing the antibonding nature of the O-Ir bond.

Inhibition of Reaction Layer Formation on MgO(100) by Doping with Trace Amounts of Iron

Despite extensive research on MgO’s reactivity in the presence of CO 2 under various conditions, little is known about whether impurities incorporated into the solid, such as iron, enhance or impede hydroxylation and carbonation reactions. The purity of the MgO required for the successful implementation of MgO looping as a direct air capture technology affects the deployment costs. With this motivation, we tested how incorporated iron impacts MgO (100) reactivity and passivation layer formation under ambient conditions by using atomic force microscopy, electron microscopy, and synchrotron-based X-ray scattering. Based on electron microprobe analysis, our MgO samples were 0.5 wt % iron, and Mössbauer spectroscopy results indicated that 70% of the iron is present as Fe(II). We find that even these low levels of iron dopants impeded both the hydroxylation at various relative humidities (10%, 33%, 75%, and >95%) and carbonation in CO 2 (33%, 75%, and >95%) on the (100) surface. Crystalline reaction products were formed. Reaction layers on the sample were easily removed by exposing the sample to deionized water for 2 min. Overall, our findings demonstrate that the presence of iron dopants slows the reaction rate of MgO, indicating that MgO without incorporated iron is preferable for mineral looping applications.

Connecting Molecular Conformation to Aggregation in P3HT Using Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscopy

Carbon 1s near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) and UV–vis spectroscopy are used to examine differences between highly aggregated and poorly aggregated forms of the polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), based on as-cast and annealed regiorandom and regioregular P 3 HT samples. UV–vis spectra show characteristic signatures of unaggregated P 3 HT in regiorandom P 3 HT, and of H-aggregation in regioregular P 3 HT samples. Distinct spectroscopic differences, including energy shifts, are observed in the NEXAFS spectra of aggregated P 3 HT relative to the unaggregated forms. These differences are reproduced with transition-potential density functional theory (TP-DFT) calculations which explore aggregation and molecular conformation. Differences in the NEXAFS spectra of P 3 HT are assigned to thiophene backbone twisting in the unaggregated forms of P 3 HT, and to various degrees of chain planarization in aggregated forms of P 3 HT that also correlate to the exciton bandwidth. Here these results open up the prospect of characterizing conformation and related difficult to assess structural details through NEXAFS spectroscopy and correlative theory and electronic structure analysis.

Auger Heating and Thermal Dissipation in Zero-Dimensional CdSe Nanocrystals Examined Using Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

In this paper, we report femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) measurements on dispersions of CdSe semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) as a function of particle size and pump fluence. Upon photoexcitation we observe depletion of stimulated Raman gain corresponding to generation of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons followed by recovery on picosecond timescales. At higher fluences, production of multiple excitons slows recovery of FSRS signals, which we attribute to sustained increases of LO phonon populations due to multiexcitonic Auger heating. Additionally, owing to discretized electronic structure of these NCs, such heating cannot be readily monitored via electronic spectroscopic analysis of high energy band tails as has been performed for higher-dimensionality materials. Notably, recovery timescales exceed those of the biexcitonic Auger recombination process and as such reveal overall thermalization timescales likely owing to an acoustic phonon thermalization bottleneck that dictates the cooling timescale.

Covalently Linked, Two-Dimensional Quantum Dot Assemblies

Using nanoscale building blocks to construct hierarchical materials is a radical new branch point in materials discovery that promises new structures and emergent functionality. Understanding the design principles that govern nanoparticle assembly is critical to moving this field forward. By exploiting mixed ligand environments to target patchy nanoparticle surfaces, we have demonstrated a novel method of colloidal quantum dot (QD) assembly that gives rise to 2D structures. The equilibration of solutions of spherical and quasispherical QDs, including CdS, CdSe, and InP, with 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-diacrylic acid resulted in the preferential formation of 2D assemblies over the course of days as determined by transmission electron microscopy analysis. Small-angle X-ray scattering confirms the existence of the QD assemblies in solution. The dependence of the assembly on linker properties (length and rigidity), linker concentration, and total concentration was investigated, together with the data point to a mechanism involving ligand redistribution to create a patchy surface that maximizes the steric repulsion of neighboring QDs. By operating in an underexchanged regime, the arising patchiness results in enthalpically preferred directions of cross-linking that can be accessed by thermal equilibration.

Native Void Space for Maximum Volumetric Capacity in Silicon-Based Anodes

Volumetric energy density is considered a primary factor in developing high-energy batteries. Despite its significance, less efforts have been devoted to its improvement. Silicon-based materials have emerged as next-generation anodes for lithium-ion batteries due to their high specific capacity. However, their volumetric capacities are limited by the volume expansion rate of silicon, which restricts mass loading in the electrodes. To address this challenge, we introduce porous silicon templated from earth-abundant minerals with native internal voids, capable of alleviating volumetric expansion during repeated cycles. In situ transmission electron microscopy analysis allows the precise determination of the expansion rate of silicon, thus presenting an analytical model for finding the optimal content in silicon/graphite composites. The inner pores in silicon reduce problems associated with its expansion and allow higher silicon loading of 42% beyond the conventional limitations of 13–14%. Consequently, the anode designed in this work can deliver a volumetric capacity of 978 mAh cc–1. Thus, suppressing volume expansion with natural abundant template-assisted materials opens new avenues for cost-effective fabrication of high volumetric capacity batteries.

Mesoporous Crystalline Niobium Oxide with a High Surface Area: A Solid Acid Catalyst for Alkyne Hydration

A mesoporous crystalline niobium oxide with tunable pore sizes was synthesized via the sol–gel-based inverse micelle method. The material shows a surface area of 127 m 2 /g, which is the highest surface area reported so far for crystalline niobium oxide synthesized by soft template methods. The material also has a monomodal pore size distribution with an average pore diameter of 5.6 nm. A comprehensive characterization of niobium oxide was performed using powder X-ray diffraction, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The material acts as an environmentally friendly, solid acid catalyst toward hydration of alkynes under with excellent catalytic activity (99% conversion, 99% selectivity, and 4.39 h –1 TOF). Brønsted acid sites present in the catalyst were found to be responsible for the high catalytic activity. Lastly, the catalyst was reusable up to five cycles without a significant loss of the activity.

Reaction Layer Formation on MgO in the Presence of Humidity

Mineralization by MgO is an attractive potential strategy for direct air capture (DAC) of CO 2 due to its tendency to form carbonate phases upon exposure to water and CO 2 . Hydration of MgO during this process is typically assumed to not be rate limiting, even at ambient temperatures. However, surface passivation by hydrated phases likely reduces the CO 2 capture capacity. Here, we examine the initial hydration reactions that occur on MgO(100) surfaces to determine whether they could potentially impact CO 2 uptake. We first used atomic force microscopy (AFM) to explore changes in reaction layers in water (pH = 6 and 12) and MgO-saturated solution (pH = 11) and found the reaction layers on MgO are heterogeneous and nonuniform. To determine how relative humidity (R.H.) affects reactivity, we reacted samples at room temperature in nominally dry N 2 (~11–12% R.H.) for up to 12 h, in humid (>95% R.H.) N 2 for 5, 10, and 15 min, and in air at 33 and 75% R.H. for 8 days. X-ray reflectivity and electron microscopy analysis of the samples reveal that hydrated phases form rapidly upon exposure to humid air, but the growth of the hydrated reaction layer slows after its initial formation. Reaction layer thickness is strongly correlated with R.H., with denser reaction layers forming in 75% R.H. compared with 33% R.H. or nominally dry N 2 . The reaction layers are likely amorphous or poorly crystalline based on grazing incidence X-ray diffraction measurements. After exposure to 75% R.H. in air for 8 days, the reaction layer increases in density as compared to the sample reacted in humid N 2 for 5–15 min. Further, this may represent an initial step toward the crystallization of the reaction layer. Overall, high R.H. favors the formation of a hydrated, disordered layer on MgO. Based on our results, DAC in a location with a higher R.H. will be favorable, but growth may slow significantly from initial rates even on short timescales, presumably due to surface passivation.

Rapid Microwave Preparation and Composition Tuning of the High-Performance Magnetocalorics (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si)

Rapid preparation utilizing assisted microwave heating permits significantly shorter preparation times for magnetocaloric compounds in the (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) family, specifically samples of (Mn,Fe) 2–δ P 0.5 Si 0.5 with starting compositions of δ = 0, 0.06, and 0.12. To fully understand the effects of processing and composition changes on structure and properties, these materials are characterized using synchrotron powder diffraction, neutron powder diffraction, electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and magnetic measurements. The diffraction analysis reveals that increasing δ results in decreasing amounts of the common Heusler (Mn,Fe) 3 Si secondary phase. EMPA shows (Mn,Fe) 2 (P,Si) in all three samples to be Mn and P rich, whereas XRF demonstrates that the bulk material is Mn rich yet P deficient. Increasing δ brings the Mn/Fe and P/Si ratios closer to their starting values. Measurements of magnetic properties show an increase in saturation magnetization and ordering temperature with increasing δ, consistent with the increase in Fe and Si contents. Increasing δ also results in a decrease in thermal hysteresis and an increase in magnetic entropy change. We note the latter reach values close to what have been previously reported on samples that take much longer to prepare.

Biobased Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks of Poly(ε-caprolactone) and Epoxidized Soybean Oil with Nanoscale Morphology, Shape-Memory Effect, and Biocompatibility

Creating biobased polymer blends with outstanding properties, nanoscale morphology, shape-memory capability, and biocompatibility is very crucial and requires a fundamental understanding of the phase behavior, macromolecular structure, and biological compatibility of the polymer blends with living cells. It is very critical to understand the complex relationships among the polymer structure, morphology, and performance of multifunctional smart materials under conditions that they are likely to encounter during use, particularly in biomedical applications. Biobased semi-interpenetrating polymer networks of poly(ε-caprolactone) and epoxidized soybean oil with nanoscale morphology have been successfully synthesized via in situ cationic polymerization and compatibilization in a homogeneous solution. Varies analytical and characterization techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray scattering, cell toxicity, and shape-memory effects (SMEs), have been employed to understand the structure–properties relationship of these smart, biobased nanostructured polymer blends. The synthesized nano blends were nontoxic or biocompatible and supported attachment of human vein endothelial cells, showing their potential use in biomedical applications. The current versatile, low-cost strategy for synthesizing the nanoscale morphology of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks with SMEs and biocompatibility should be widely applicable for polymer systems. This study is also considered as a continuation to our efforts in the area of biobased polymers to develop innovative technologies to transform natural resources into smart multifunctional materials for a wide range of applications, including coatings, adhesives, and medical devices.

Structure and Reactivity of Single-Site Vanadium Catalysts Supported on Metal–Organic Frameworks

Single-site catalysts with active species anchored over metal–organic framework (MOF) supports have garnered significant interest in recent years. Catalysts with vanadium oxide (VO x ) species immobilized over Zr-NU-1000 and Hf-MOF-808 (which have nodes containing six Zr (IV) or Hf (IV) ions, respectively) were recently characterized experimentally and were reported to be active for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Here, we report a detailed computational investigation of these VO x -incorporated MOF catalysts (V-MOF) by employing density functional theory. Based on the mode of VO x attachment, various structures are explored, and their relative stabilities and computed IR spectral features are reported. Mechanisms for the selective oxidation reaction are investigated. The analysis of electron flow in the turnover-limiting C–H activation step shows that the hydrogen-atom abstraction process involves a concerted proton-coupled electron-transfer mechanism. Here, the results of this study suggest that in addition to the identity of the metal in the node, the MOF node architecture plays a crucial role in driving the catalytic activities of V-MOFs.

Ternary Phosphides Ba M 2 P 2 : Tailoring Crystal and Electronic Structures Enables Highly Efficient HER Electrocatalysis

Binary transition metal phosphides and their solid solutions have emerged as promising hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. Although many research endeavors have adopted strategies to vary compositions to optimize catalytic performance, they mainly focus on binary structures, which represent only a small fraction of the abundant phase space of structure types among transition metal phosphides. Here, the largely unexplored class of ternary and multinary ordered phosphides in catalysis comprises two or more metals with quite different chemical nature, concealing the structure–property relationships essential for advancing catalyst design. Here, we explored phosphides crystallizing in one of the most abundant ordered intermetallic structure types, —the ThCr 2 Si 2 type, —where square nets of 3d transition metal M and P atoms are separated by layers of electropositive Ba cations. Four ternary BaM 2 P 2 (M = Fe, Fe/Cu, Fe/Ni, Ni) catalysts were synthesized and characterized. BaNi 2 P 2 showed high HER activity in acidic electrolyte, which required an overpotential, η 10 , of only 62 mV to drive current density j = –10 mA/cm 2 and high stability with a potential drop rate of 0.25 mV/h. BaNi 2 P 2 outperformed other Ni-based catalysts, such as Ni 2 P and Ni 5 P 4 . Notably, at current densities above –170 mA/cm 2 , BaNi 2 P 2 outperformed the standard Pt electrode measured under identical conditions. Electronic structure analysis revealed a volcano-type activity trend among the four BaM 2 P 2 catalysts based on their d-band center positions, highlighting the role of electropositive Ba cations in shifting the Ni-3d orbitals into an optimal position.

Uranium-Mediated Peroxide Activation and a Precursor toward an Elusive Uranium cis -Dioxo Fleeting Intermediate

The activation of chalcogen–chalcogen bonds using organometallic uranium complexes has been well documented for S–S, Se–Se, and Te–Te bonds. In stark contrast, reports concerning the ability of a uranium complex to activate the O–O bond of an organic peroxide are exceedingly rare. Herein, we describe the peroxide O–O bond cleavage of 9,10-diphenylanthracene-9,10-endoperoxide in nonaqueous media, mediated by a uranium(III) precursor [(( Me,Ad ArO) 3 N)U III (dme)] to generate a stable uranium(V) bis-alkoxide complex, namely, [(( Me,Ad ArO) 3 N)U V (DPAP)]. This reaction proceeds via an isolable, alkoxide-bridged diuranium(IV/IV) species, implying that the oxidative addition occurs in two sequential, single-electron oxidations of the metal center, including rebound of a terminal oxygen radical. Furthermore, this uranium(V) bis-alkoxide can then be reduced with KC 8 to form a uranium(IV) complex, which upon exposure to UV light, in solution, releases 9,10-diphenylanthracene to generate a cyclic uranyl trimer through formal two-electron photooxidation. Analysis of the mechanism of this photochemical oxidation via density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicates that the formation of this uranyl trimer occurs through a fleeting uranium cis-dioxo intermediate. At room temperature, this cis-configured dioxo species rapidly isomerizes to a more stable trans configuration through the release of one of the alkoxide ligands from the complex, which then goes on to form the isolated uranyl trimer complex.

Alternant Hydrocarbon Diradicals as Optically Addressable Molecular Qubits

High-spin molecules allow for bottom-up qubit design and are promising platforms for magnetic sensing and quantum information science. Optical addressability of molecular electron spins has also been proposed in first-row transition-metal complexes via optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) mechanisms analogous to the diamond-nitrogen-vacancy color center. However, significantly less progress has been made on the front of metal-free molecules, which can deliver lower costs and milder environmental impacts. At present, most luminescent open-shell organic molecules are π-diradicals, but such systems often suffer from poor ground-state open-shell characters necessary to realize a stable ground-state molecular qubit. In this work, we use alternancy symmetry to selectively minimize radical–radical interactions in the ground state, generating π-systems with high diradical characters. We call them m-dimers, referencing the need to covalently link two benzylic radicals at their meta carbon atoms for the desired symmetry. Through a detailed electronic structure analysis, we find that the excited states of alternant hydrocarbon m-diradicals contain important symmetries that can be used to construct ODMR mechanisms leading to ground-state spin polarization. Furthermore, the molecular parameters are set in the context of a tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical dimer covalently tethered at the meta position, demonstrating the feasibility of alternant m-diradicals as molecular color centers.

Autonomous Nanoparticle Synthesis Guided by In Situ Multiscale Structural Characterization

Autonomous synthesis platforms promise rapid exploration of vast parameter spaces; yet, integrating in situ structural characterization in closed-loop synthesis optimization remains challenging. We demonstrate a realization of such a closed-loop platform coupled with a droplet-flow microreactor, in situ X-ray scattering methods (SAXS/WAXS), and Gaussian process optimization to synthesize citrate-reduced Au nanoparticles with targeted characteristics. The system efficiently explored ∼19,000 synthesis recipes through 365 experiments, achieving precise control over size (4–60 nm) and polydispersity (σ < 0.11) across large citrate/gold ratios, exceeding traditional synthesis boundaries (1–10). Beyond confirming classical Turkevich–Frens trends, partial-dependence analysis revealed strong nonlinear coupling among precursor, citrate, and pH effects. Combining quantitative SAXS/WAXS analysis with electron microscopy characterization, we uncovered that crystallite size (d c ) and particle size (d) follow d c = 0.18d + β, where synthesis chemistry controls the intercept β while maintaining a universal slope. This parallel-band structure enables independent tuning of crystallite domain size at fixed particle diameter through a combination of chloride, gold precursor, citrate, and pH contributions (cross-validated Spearman ρ = 0.7 ± 0.1). High-resolution electron microscopy shows multiple lattice-fringe orientations within single particles, directly confirming polycrystalline domains and the ability to tune d c at the fixed d. The platform’s validation includes indistinguishable static versus flowing measurements, stable droplet transport at 100 °C, and <5% run-to-run variation, establishing a robust framework for mapping and controlling multiscale nanoparticle structure across expansive chemical spaces. In conclusion, the developed closed-loop platform can be applied to a borad range of nanosyntheis processes.

High-Fidelity Analysis of ULF Wave Mode Structure Following Interplanetary Shock Compression of the Dayside Magnetopause Using MMS Multi-Point Observations

During the 9 March 2018 event with two consecutive interplanetary shocks compressing the dayside magnetosphere, the azimuthal mode structure and frequency spectrum of ultra low frequency magnetic pulsations are resolved using a cross-spectral analysis based on high-fidelity multi-probe Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) magnetometer data. The results based on the MMS 4 and MMS 3 pair of measurements show that shock arrival leads to low mode (|m| ≤ 3) magnetic fluctuations in the Pc4-5 regimes, and smaller spatial scale fluctuations implied by the dominant high mode numbers are observed after both shock signatures hit and passed the magnetosphere. Detailed evolution of the mode structure is also shown for the first shock to reveal the development of high mode structure from a bump-on-tail distribution at m≈20 to a dominant peak at m≈50 in about 10 min. In addition, an interesting change of sign in m from negative to positive is observed as MMS crosses ~11 MLT pre-noon, which is consistent with the picture of wave generation by dayside magnetopause compression and then anti-sunward propagation. Finally, for both shocks, the contribution of higher frequency waves (Pc-4 range compared with Pc-5) to the total wave power is found to be negligible before and after the shock impact, but it becomes more significant during the shock impact.
