Mixed valence mono- and hetero-metallic grid catenanes.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report on the multicomponent self-assembly and single crystal X-ray diffraction study of a series of three interlocked mixed valence mono- and hetero-metallic [2]-catenanes made of [2 × 2] metallo-grids. They show unique structural features and highlight the essential roles of both the Cu(ii)/Cu(i) pair and of the conformationally adaptable organic ligands for achieving catenation of grids.

Mixed-valence insulators with neutral Fermi surfaces.

Project description:Samarium hexaboride is a classic three-dimensional mixed valence system with a high-temperature metallic phase that evolves into a paramagnetic charge insulator below 40?K. A number of recent experiments have suggested the possibility that the low-temperature insulating bulk hosts electrically neutral gapless fermionic excitations. Here we show that a possible ground state of strongly correlated mixed valence insulators-a composite exciton Fermi liquid-hosts a three dimensional Fermi surface of a neutral fermion, that we name the "composite exciton." We describe the mechanism responsible for the formation of such excitons, discuss the phenomenology of the composite exciton Fermi liquids and make comparison to experiments in SmB6.

Elusive Valence Transition in Mixed-Valence Sesquioxide Cs<sub>4</sub>O<sub>6</sub>.

Project description:Cs4O6 is a mixed-valence molecular oxide with a cubic structure, comprising valency-delocalized O24/3- units and with properties highly sensitive to cooling protocols. Here we use neutron powder diffraction to authenticate that, while upon deep quenching the cubic phase is kinetically arrested down to cryogenic temperatures, ultraslow cooling results in an incomplete structural transition to a contracted tetragonal phase. Two dioxygen anions in a 1:2 ratio are identified, providing evidence that the transition is accompanied by charge and orbital order and stabilizes a Robin-Day Class II mixed-valence state, comprising O22- and O2- anions. The phenomenology of the phase change is consistent with that of a martensitic transition. The response of the low-temperature phase assemblage to heating is complex, involving a series of successive interconversions between the coexisting phases. Notably, a broad interconversion plateau is present near 260 K, signifying reentrant kinetic arrest of the tetragonal phase upon heating because of the combined effects of increased steric hindrance for molecular rotation and melting of charge and orbital order. The geometrically frustrated pyrochlore lattice adopted by the paramagnetic S = 1/2 O2- units provides an intimate link between the crystal and magnetic properties of charge-ordered Cs4O6, naturally accounting for the absence of magnetic order.

Electron localization in a mixed-valence diniobium benzene complex.

Project description:Reaction of the neutral diniobium benzene complex {[Nb(BDI)N t Bu]2(?-C6H6)} (BDI = N,N'-diisopropylbenzene-?-diketiminate) with Ag[B(C6F5)4] results in a single electron oxidation to produce a cationic diniobium arene complex, {[Nb(BDI)N t Bu]2(?-C6H6)}{B(C6F5)4}. Investigation of the solid state and solution phase structure using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy indicates that the oxidation results in an asymmetric molecule with two chemically inequivalent Nb atoms. Further characterization using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, UV-visible, Nb L3,2-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and EPR spectroscopies supports assignment of a diniobium complex, in which one Nb atom carries a single unpaired electron that is not largely delocalized on the second Nb atom. During the oxidative transformation, one electron is removed from the ?-bonding HOMO, which causes a destabilization of the molecule and formation of an asymmetric product. Subsequent reactivity studies indicate that the oxidized product allows access to metal-based chemistry with substrates that did not exhibit reactivity with the starting neutral complex.

Mixed-valence cytoplasmic iron granules are linked to anaerobic respiration.

Project description:Intracellular granules containing ferric and ferrous iron formed in Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 during dissimilatory reduction of solid-phase ferric iron. It is the first in situ detection at high resolution (150 nm) of a mixed-valence metal particle residing within a prokaryotic cell. The relationship of the internal particles to Fe(III) reduction may indicate a respiratory role.

Crystal structure of a mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12 cluster.

Project description:The mixed-valence μ-oxide Sn12 cluster, deca-carbonyl-tetra-μ4-oxido-hexa-μ3-oxido-tetra-kis-[μ-2,2'-(pyridine-2,6-di-yl)bis(1,1-di-phenyl-ethano-lato)]deca-tin(II)ditin(IV)dimolyb-denum(O)(2 Mo-Sn) toluene hepta-solvate, [Mo2Sn12(C33H27NO2)4O10(CO)10]·7C7H8, has a crystallographically imposed inversion centre. The asymmetric unit also contains three and a half toluene solvent mol-ecules, one of which is disordered about a centre of symmetry. The complex mol-ecule comprises six distinct Sn atom species with four different coordination numbers, namely 3, 4, 5, and 6. The Sn(II) atoms forming the central Sn10O10 core adopt distorted trigonal-pyramidal, square-pyramidal and octa-hedral coordination geometries provided by the μ-oxide atoms and by the O- and N-donor atoms of two pyridinedi-ethano-late ligands. The terminal Sn(IV) atoms have distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries, with a μ4-oxide atom and the N atom of a pyridinedi-ethano-late ligand occupying the axial positions, and the Mo atom of a Mo(CO)5 group and the alk-oxy O atoms of a ligand forming the equatorial plane. In the crystal, weak intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.

Half-metallic carbon nitride nanosheets with micro grid mode resonance structure for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Project description:Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water has triggered an intensive search for metal-free semiconducting photocatalysts. However, traditional semiconducting materials suffer from limited hydrogen evolution efficiency owing to low intrinsic electron transfer, rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, and lack of artificial microstructure. Herein, we report a metal-free half-metallic carbon nitride for highly efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The introduced half-metallic features not only effectively facilitate carrier transfer but also provide more active sites for hydrogen evolution reaction. The nanosheets incorporated into a micro grid mode resonance structure via in situ pyrolysis of ionic liquid, which show further enhanced photoelectronic coupling and entire solar energy exploitation, boosts the hydrogen evolution rate reach up to 1009??mol?g-1?h-1. Our findings propose a strategy for micro-structural regulations of half-metallic carbon nitride material, and meanwhile the fundamentals provide inspirations for the steering of electron transfer and solar energy absorption in electrocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, and photovoltaic cells.

Mixed-valence cytochrome oxidase-formate complex. A steady-state intermediate.

Project description:At neutral pH, formate binds to the haem a3 component of cytochrome c oxidase to give a complex that reacts differently from the non-liganded enzyme with reducing agents. Addition of sodium dithionite to the formate complex leads directly to the formation of the fully reduced species, whereas reduction with ascorbate/tetramethylenephenylene-diamine can lead to the production of a mixed-valence species. The stability of this mixed-valence form was studied, and the species appears to represent a 'steady-state' situation that is stable only in the presence of an excess of O2 and reducing equivalents. Characterization of the mixed-valence complex by electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic circular dichroism reveals the presence of reduced low-spin haem a together with reduced detectable copper and high-spin ferric haem a3.

Escherichia coli biofilm: mono-species culture vs. mixed-species culture

Project description:Transcription profile of Escherichia coli cells in mono-species pure biofilms was compared to that of E. coli cells in E. coli-Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dual-species biofilms. E. coli cells were separated from dual-species biofilms before total RNA extraction to eliminate possible cross hybridization from S. maltophilia transcripts. The separation method was developed by combining the use of reagent RNAlater and immuno-magnetic separation. Pure E. coli biofilms were processed with the same separation protocol before RNA extraction.

Core-dependent properties of copper nanoclusters: valence-pure nanoclusters as NIR TADF emitters and mixed-valence ones as semiconductors.

Project description:We report herein that copper alkynyl nanoclusters show metal-core dependent properties via a charge-transfer mechanism, which enables new understanding of their structure-property relationship. Initially, nanoclusters 1 and 2 bearing respective Cu(i)15 (C1) and Cu(i)28 (C2) cores were prepared and revealed to display near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescence mainly from the mixed alkynyl → Cu(i) ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) and cluster-centered transition, and they further exhibit thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Subsequently, a vanadate-induced oxidative approach to in situ generate a nucleating Cu(ii) cation led to assembly of 3 and 4 featuring respective [Cu(ii)O6]@Cu(i)47 (C3) and {[Cu(ii)O4]·[VO4]2}@Cu(i)46 (C4) cores. While interstitial occupancy of Cu(ii) triggers inter-valence charge-transfer (IVCT) from Cu(i) to Cu(ii) to quench the photoluminescence of 3 and 4, such a process facilitates charge mobility to render them semiconductive. Overall, metal-core modification results in an interplay between charge-transfer processes to switch TADF to semiconductivity, which underpins an unusual structure-property correlation for designed synthesis of metal nanoclusters with unique properties and functions.

Mechanically selflocked chiral gemini-catenanes.

Project description:Mechanically interlocked and entangled molecular architectures represent one of the elaborate topological superstructures engineered at a molecular resolution. Here we report a methodology for fabricating mechanically selflocked molecules (MSMs) through highly efficient one-step amidation of a pseudorotaxane derived from dual functionalized pillar[5]arene (P[5]A) threaded by ?,?-diaminoalkane (DA-n; n=3-12). The monomeric and dimeric pseudo[1]catenanes thus obtained, which are inherently chiral due to the topology of P[5]A used, were isolated and fully characterized by NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations. Of particular interest, the dimeric pseudo[1]catenane, named 'gemini-catenane', contained stereoisomeric meso-erythro and dl-threo isomers, in which two P[5]A moieties are threaded by two DA-n chains in topologically different patterns. This access to chiral pseudo[1]catenanes and gemini-catenanes will greatly promote the practical use of such sophisticated chiral architectures in supramolecular and materials science and technology.
