High-energy-resolution-fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption near-edge structure (HERFD-XANES) spectroscopy is shown to be a sensitive tool to investigate the electronic changes of copper complexes induced by geometric distortions caused by the ligand backbone as a model for the entatic state. To fully exploit the information contained in the spectra gained by the high-energy-resolution techni...

Benzyl 2-((E)-to yliminomethyl)penylcarbamat was prepared in good yield and characterized by the condensation reaction of benzyl 2-formylphenylcarbamate with ptoluenesulfonyl amine. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was determined using 1H, 13C-NMR, IR and ass s ectral data.

A new concept of nanoporous metal organic framework particles stabilising emulsions was investigated. The copper benzenetricarboxylate MOF particles adsorbed at the oil/water interface play an exceptional role in stabilising both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions.

Mechanical point-chirality in a [2]rotaxane is utilized for asymmetric catalysis. Stable enantiomers of the rotaxane result from a bulky group in the middle of the thread preventing a benzylic amide macrocycle shuttling between different sides of a prochiral center, creating point chirality in the vicinity of a secondary amine group. The resulting mechanochirogenesis delivers enantioselective o...

The hydrothermal reactions of [A-α-PW9O34](9-) with CuCl2·2H2O in the presence of ethanediamine (en) and acetate afforded a novel poly(polyoxotungstate) containing different lacunary fragments: monolacunary {α-PW11O39}, dilacunary {α-PW10O37}, trilacunary {B-α-PW9O34}, etc. In addition, a cockhorse-like nona-copper {Cu9} slab is incorporated. Magnetic investigation indicates overall antiferroma...
