In the title compound, C(6)H(14)N(2+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (2-), the protonated 1,4-diazo-niabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane cations and the deprotonated terephthalate anions are alternately linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains.

The goal of this study was to develop a rechargeable aluminum–air battery with high capacity and longterm durability in charge–discharge electrochemical reactions. We used aluminum terephthalate as a metal–organic framework (MOF) material for the air cathode and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride as an ionic liquid electrolyte. When we used aluminum terephthalate as an air cathode material, t...

The Achilles tendon is the most common ruptured tendon of human body. Reconstruction with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament is recommended in some serious cases. Sodium hyaluronate (HA) is beneficial for the healing of tendon injuries. We aimed to determine the effect of sodium hyaluronate in repair of Achilles tendon defect with PET artificial ligament in an animal tendon re...

The title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2) (2+)·C(8)Br(4)O(4) (2-)·2H(2)O, consists of a tetra-bromo-terephthalate dianion, a 4,4'-bipyridinium dication and two solvent water mol-ecules. Crystallographic inversion centers are situated at the center of the aromatic ring of the dianion as well as at the midpoint of the carbon-carbon bond connecting the pyridine rings in the dication. In the crystal, inte...

This work presents an experimental study on the interplay between structure and dynamics during isothermal cold crystallization of a copolymer based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(ethylene isophthalate) of poly(trimethylene terephthalate). Simultaneous X-ray scattering and dielectric spectroscopy measurements revealed that, during cold crystallization, crystalline lamellae tend form l...

We report scanning tunneling microscopy observations on the formation of 2D Co-based coordination compounds on the reconstructed Au(111) surface. Preorganized arrays of Co bilayer islands are shown to be local reaction sites, which are consumed in the formation of Co-terephthalate aggregates and regular nanoporous grids. The latter exhibit a planar geometry stabilized by the smooth substrate. T...

One of the simplest ways to confine polymeric materials is by self-assembling during the crystallization process. The remaining amorphous phase is then constrained by the lamellar crystals. In this manuscript, we aim to shed additional light in the understanding of the amorphous chains dynamics of semicrystalline polymers above the Tg by using incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering QENS in ...

Here we report the growth of novel transition metal-organic thin-film materials consisting of manganese or cobalt as the metal component and terephthalate as the rigid organic backbone. The hybrid thin films are deposited by the currently strongly emerging atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique using the combination of a metal β-diketonate, i.e. Mn(thd)3, Co(acac)3 or Co(thd)2, a...
