Understanding the properties of synthetic copper-oxygen intermediates is important for evaluating mechanisms of oxidations by enzymes and other catalysts.1,2 A growing class of reactive copper-oxygen complexes have been isolated or identified spectroscopically to date, including well-studied examples with [Cu2(O2)], [Cu2(μ-O)2], or [CuO2] cores.3 Mononuclear copperoxo species ([CuII-O-• T CuIII...

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...
