We report a sono-Fenton strategy to mediate the supramolecular assembly of metal–phenolic networks (MPNs) as substrate-independent coatings using phenol and phenyl derivatives building blocks. The process is initiated from generation hydroxyl radicals (.OH) high-frequency ultrasound (412 kHz), while metal ions synergistically participate in production additional .OH for hydroxylation/phenolatio...

Novel heterometallic three-dimensional coordination polymers {[CuII2LnIIICl2(HIA)4(NO3)(DMF)2]∙(2DMF)∙(H2O)}n based on Ce (1), Eu (2) or Gd (3) and imidazole-4-acrylic acid (H2IA), were successfully synthesized using the sonochemical method. All attempts to obtain compound other synthetic methods unsuccessful. The are isostructural, crystallizing in chiral P3221 trigonal space group. crystal st...

The imine podands tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminoethyl]amine and tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminopropyl]amine both stabilize copper(I), forming {tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminoethyl]amine-kappa4N}copper(I) perchlorate acetonitrile disolvate, [Cu(C27H27N7O6)]ClO4.2CH3CN, (II), and {tris[(2-nitrobenzylidene)aminopropyl]amine-kappa4N}copper(I) perchlorate, [Cu(C30H33N7O6)]ClO4, (VI), respectively. The...

The deposition of metal nanostructures (wires and particles) on a graphite surface from an aqueous electrolyte solution was induced by galvanic displacement, via the oxidation of insoluble crystals of a ferrocene derivative (either n-butyl ferrocene or decamethyl ferrocene) present on the same substrate. Micron-to-millimetre-scale crystallites of decamethyl ferrocene were deposited on the graph...
