We demonstrate photocatalytic hydrogen evolution using COF photosensitizers with molecular proton reduction catalysts for the first time. With azine-linked N2-COF photosensitizer, chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime co-catalyst, and TEOA donor, H2 evolution rate of 782 μmol h-1 g-1 and TON of 54.4 has been obtained in a water/acetonitrile mixture. PXRD, solid-state spectroscopy, EM analysis, and quantum...

Four dinuclear CoII complexes have been synthesized and structurally characterized with the dinucleating ligand susan (susan=4,7-dimethyl-1,1,10,10-tetra(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane) varying in exogeneous ligands: [(susan){CoII(CH3CN)2}2](PF6)4, [(susan){CoIICl}2](ClO4)2, [(susan){CoIIBr}2](ClO4)2, [(susan){CoII(μ-OH)CoII}](ClO4)3. The ions are six-coordinate CH3CN ligands five-coo...

Catalytic activity and stability of iron hexacyanocobaltate (FeIII[CoIII(CN)6], Fe–Co) for organophosphate hydrolysis are improved by doping divalent metal ions (MII = MnII, NiII, or CuII). The catalytic a series (FeIII0.8MII0.3)[CoIII(CN)6] (FeM–Co compounds) was examined in mixed solution water ethanol [9:1 (v/v)] containing disodium p-nitrophenyl phosphate (p-NPP) at 60 °C. FeM–Co compounds ...

Six new mononuclear [FeIII(LBr,Cl)X]-complexes (LBr,Cl is the dianionic penta-N3O2-dentate Schiff base ligand N,N?-bis(2’-hydroxy-3-bromo-5-chlorobenzylidene)-1,6-diamino-3-azahexane; X: Cl?, N3?, NCO?, NCS?, NCSe?, CN?) were synthesized and their structures, magnetic electrochemical properties studied. Structure analysis measurements showed that [FeIII(LBr,Cl)CN] in low spin state other five c...

Treatment of an S-bridged penta-nuclear AgI3CoIII2 complex, [Ag3{Co(L)}2]3+ [L3- = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)3], in which two tris-(thiol-ate)-type mononuclear CoIII units ([Co(L)]) are bridged by three AgI ions through S atoms, with iodo-methane (CH3I) gave a new CoIII mononuclear complex, [Co(LMe2)]2+ [LMe2- = N(CH2NHCH2CH2S-)(CH2NHCH2CH2SCH3)2], systematic name: {2-[(bis{[2-(methylsulfanyl)ethyl]amino...

In blue mussels of the Mytilus edulis species complex, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance is coupled with gender. Females receive their mother's mtDNA and pass it on to both their daughters and sons. In addition, males receive mtDNA from their father and transmit this male mtDNA to their sons. If this pattern of "doubly uniparental inheritance" is older than the M. edulis species complex, th...
