Herein, we present an exceptional structural transformation from a porous supramolecular network to a porous coordination polymer. The transformation involves a change of interpenetrating dimensionality from 6-fold to 5-fold. Simultaneously, the spin state of nickel(ii) is altered from S = 0 to S = 1, which is concomitant with the formation of the Ni-O(carboxylate) coordination bonds.

A new coordination polymer of polyoxomolybdate, {[Cu(4)(bbp)(5)Mo(6)O(22)]·(H(2)O)(4)}(∞) (bbp = 1,4-bis(benzoimidazol-1-yl)phenyl), has been synthesized under solvothermal reaction, which represents a double-bridging interpenetrating α-Po network based on the bimetallic cluster {Cu(4)Mo(6)}. The thermogravimetric and electrochemical behaviors have also been studied.

In this work, antioxidant hydrogels were prepared by the construction of an interpenetrating chitosan network and functionalization with gallic acid. The poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) p(HEMA)-based hydrogels were first synthesized and subsequently surface-modified with an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) structure prepared with methacrylamide chitosan via free radical polymerization. ...

Interpenetrating Polymer Network Electrolyte In article number 2213469, Hsisheng Teng and co-workers demonstrate a robust solid-state lithium battery with synergy between O-based F-based polymer networks, which overpowers liquid electrolyte batteries in terms of safety performance. This synergistic relationship, combined the creation an anion-aggregate domain, expedites Li+ transport battery.

Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) refers to a type of elastomer in which two chemically distinct networks coexist, ideally having a structure that is homogeneous down to the segmental level [1]. The two components are present as co-continuous, interlocking networks (catenanes). This co-continuity can be achieved by kinetic retention of an initially miscible mixture of the monomers used to ...

Janus particles with differentially degradable compartments were prepared by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) co-jetting and subsequent controlled crosslinking. These bicompartmental particles are composed of an interpenetrating polymer network of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) in one hemisphere and a crosslinked copolymer of dextran and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) segm...
