By calculating the local five-fold symmetry, Voronoi polyhedron, and bond orientational order parameters, we find a significant structural evolution at high-frequency magnetic annealing: the icosahedral order diminishes, and the crystalline-like order is enhanced, comparing to the case without magnetic field. The fraction of the body-centered cubic structures remarkably increases with the frequency of magnetic annealing, and the atoms of these order show a tendency of aggregating in space to form the crystalline nuclei. These findings unveil how the local structure evolves under magnetic annealing, and the accelerated crystallization process of MGs through alternating magnetic fields.展开更多

EuBi_(2) exhibits complex magnetic behavior at low temperatures. In both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions, three antiferromagnetic(AFM) transitions have been observed at T_(N1)~18.9 K, T_(N2)~7.0 K, and T_(N3)~3.1 K. Among them, the transitions at T_(N2) and T_(N3) represent the canted AFM orders with ferromagnetic components. As the magnetic field increases, the transition at T_(N3) is rapidly suppressed to disappearance. However, the transitions at T_(N1) and T_(N2) persist until high fields and their signatures can also be reflected in the resistivity and specific heat. Above the magnetic transition temperature T_(N1), the resistivity of EuBi_(2) increases linearly with temperature, exhibiting the strange-metal behavior. In the magnetically ordered region below T_(N1), EuBi_(2) exhibits the weak antilocalization(WAL) effect and large magnetoresistance(475% at 1.8 K and 14 T). It is suggested that the magnetic ordering significantly enhances the spin–orbital coupling interaction and induces the WAL effect.展开更多

Nd_(5)ScSb_(12) exhibits antiferromagnetic transition in both directions perpendicular and parallel to the long axis. Moreover, the magnetic field-dependent magnetization reveals two metamagnetic transitions. The electrical transport properties have been measured on the same sample but with different measurement lengths between the electrodes of the voltage. The resistivity exhibits the metallic behavior. At low temperatures, the Kondo effect and negative transverse magnetoresistance(MR)(B⊥I) have been observed. Interestingly, the measurement length has a significant impact on the Kondo effect and negative MR, providing an intuitive new approach to regulate the Kondo effect. As the measurement length increases, the Kondo effect and negative MR become more pronounced. This not only indicates that the interaction between magnetic impurities and conduction electrons dominates the electrical transport of Nd_(5)ScSb_(12) at low temperatures, but also confirms that the negative MR originates from the suppression of the Kondo effect.展开更多

文摘The crystallization and aggregation characteristics of the active layer components in organic solar cells(OSCs)are one of the core factors determining photovoltaic performance,influencing the entire process from light absorption to charge separation,transport,and ultimately charge collection.Dynamic changes in crystallization and aggregation states can also disrupt the microstructure of the active layer,thus shortening the lifetime of the cell.In this study,a morphology modulation strategy is proposed to regulate the crystallization kinetics of non-fullerene acceptors by employing the polymer molecule PYIT as a nucleating agent.An appropriate amount of PYIT was first completely dissolved with the non-fullerene acceptor Y6 and left to stand for 24 h,followed by the fabrication of layer-by-layer processed OSCs.Experiments demonstrated that high crystallinity of PYIT allows it to act as a crystallization nucleus,promoting the crystallization,orientation consistency,and ordered stacking of the acceptor.These nanoscale structural optimizations facilitate efficient charge transport,enhance exciton dissociation efficiency,and suppress unfavorable energetic disorder.Consequently,not only was the power conversion efficiency(PCE)of D18-Cl/Y6-based layer-by-layer processed OSC increased from 18.08%to 19.13%,but the atmospheric stability and long-term lifetime of the OSCs were also significantly improved.Notably,this strategy is also applicable to indoor OSCs,and the PYIT-optimized device can achieve a PCE of 27.0%under 1000 lux light-emitting diode(LED,3200K)irradiation,which is superior to that of the control device(24.2%).This work develops a crystal engineering strategy that is able to simultaneously optimize the microscopic morphology and charge dynamics properties in OSCs,thereby achieving simultaneous improvement in efficiency and stability.

文摘Traditional stealth materials do not fulfill the requirements of high absorption for radar waves and low emissivity for infrared waves.Furthermore,they can be detected by various technologies,considerably threatening weapon safety.Therefore,a stealth material compatible with radar and infrared was designed based on the photonic bandgap characteristics of photonic crystals.The radar stealth lay-er(bottom layer)is a composite of carbonyl iron/silicon dioxide/epoxy resin,and the infrared stealth layer(top layer)is a 1D photonic crystal with alternately and periodically stacked germanium and silicon nitride.Through composition optimization and structural adjust-ment,the effective absorption bandwidth of the compatible stealth material with a reflection loss of less than-10 dB has reached 4.95 GHz.The average infrared emissivity of the proposed design is 0.1063,indicating good stealth performance.The theoretical analysis proves that photonic crystals with this structural design can produce infrared waves within the photonic bandgap,achieving high radar wave transmittance and low infrared emissivity.Infrared stealth is achieved without affecting the absorption performance of the radar stealth layer,and the conflict between radar and infrared stealth performance is resolved.This work aims to promote the application of photonic crystals in compatible stealth materials and the development of stealth technology and to provide a design and theoretical found-ation for related experiments and research.

文摘Mg_(x)(Ni_(0.8)La_(0.2))_(100-x),where x=60,70,80,exhibiting a nanocrystalline microstructure,were prepared through the crystallization of amorphous alloys.The investigation encompassed the phase constitution,grain size,microstructural stability,and hydrogen storage properties.Crystallization kinetics,along with in-situ high-energy XRD characterization,revealed a concentrated and synchronous crystallization of Mg_(2)Ni and RE-Mg-Ni ternary phases with the increase in La and Ni content.The attributed synchronous crystallization process was found to be a result of the close local affinity of Mg_(2)Ni and RE-Mg-Ni ternary phases,as assessed by the thermodynamic Miedema model.Significant secondary phase pinning effect,arising from the high likelihood of well-matching phase structures between Mg_(2)Ni,LaMg_(2)Ni,and LaMgNi_(4),was validated through both the edge-to-edge matching model prediction and experimental observation.Thefine and homogeneous microstructure was shown to be a consequence of fast crystallization kinetics and the secondary phase pinning effect.Improved activation performance and cycling stability were observed,stemming from grain refinement and excellent microstructural stability.Our study provides insights into mechanism of grain refinement of nanocrystalline microstructure tailored by phase constitution and crystallization kinetics in the amorphous-crystallization route.We also demonstrate the potential of material design guided by phase equilibria and crystallographic predictions to improve nanocrystalline with excellent microstructural stability.

文摘Perovskite single crystals(PSCs)have attracted significant interest for next-generation radiation detection.However,the lack of in-depth crystal growth kinetics of PSCs limits the development of high-quality PSCs.Here,with an in-situ real-time monitoring system for MAPbBr3 PSCs growth during the antisolvent vapor-assisted crystallization(AVC)process,the growth curves of MAPbBr3 PSCs are obtained and the growth kinetics are theoretically modeled.Two important factors,including antisolvent vapor flux and initial precursor concentration,have been investigated experimentally for their impacts on crystal quality.By controlling the antisolvent vapor flux,the nucleation of PSCs at the container-solution interface can be regulated;while by controlling the initial precursor concentration,the crystal quality can be improved.The optimized MAPbBr3 PSCs exhibited significantly high qualities,with the narrowest reported full width at half maximum(0.00637°)of X-ray diffraction rocking curve as reported,a trap-state density as low as 2.12×10^(10 )cm^(−3),and a mobility-lifetime(μτ)product of 1.4×10^(−2) cm^(2) V^(−1).The fabricated X-ray detectors demonstrated optimal performance at an electric field of 20 V/mm,with a sensitivity of 9.02×10^(3)μC Gy^(−1) cm^(−2) and the lowest detectable dose rate of 0.08μGy s^(−1) under irradiation with continuum X-ray energy up to 20 keV.This work provides valuable insights for the development of high-quality PSCs for direct radiation detection.

文摘We performed the coupled molecular-dynamics and spin dynamics simulations to investigate the magnetic annealing effect on the crystallization behavior of Fe metallic glasses(MGs). By calculating the local five-fold symmetry, Voronoi polyhedron, and bond orientational order parameters, we find a significant structural evolution at high-frequency magnetic annealing: the icosahedral order diminishes, and the crystalline-like order is enhanced, comparing to the case without magnetic field. The fraction of the body-centered cubic structures remarkably increases with the frequency of magnetic annealing, and the atoms of these order show a tendency of aggregating in space to form the crystalline nuclei. These findings unveil how the local structure evolves under magnetic annealing, and the accelerated crystallization process of MGs through alternating magnetic fields.

文摘Additive engineering has been widely employed to address defects-related issues in perovskite solar cells,including Pb^(2+)vacancy defects,halide migration,and FA^(+)lattice mismatch.However,due to the diversity and complexity of defect types in perovskites,traditional monofunctional additives are typically limited to passivate specific types of defects and are unable to achieve effective passivation of multiple defects simultaneously.To overcome this limitation,this work proposes a multidentate synergistic coordination strategy using a multifunctional additive,ethyl 4-aminopyrazole-5-carboxylate(EAPC),to achieve coordinated passivation of multiple defects in perovskites.Combined theoretical calculations and experimental investigations reveal that the carbonyl group(C=O)of EAPC forms strong coordination bonds with uncoordinated Pb^(2+),while its amino group(–NH_(2))couples with halide ions,and the pyrazole-ring N sites establish a hydrogen-bonding network with FA^(+)cations,thereby achieving triple-site synergistic passivation of Pb^(2+)-X^(-)-FA^(+)defects.This synergistic effect accelerates the nucleation kinetics of perovskite while retarding its growth rate,thereby reducing the defect density and enhancing the crystallinity of the resulting perovskite films.Based on this strategy,the inverted perovskite solar cells(PSCs)achieved a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 24.40%,maintaining over 90.2%of their initial efficiency after 1000 h of aging in a N_(2)-glovebox environment and retaining 85.1%of the original PCE under ambient conditions.This work pioneers a novel paradigm for synergistic defect passivation in perovskite optoelectronic devices.

文摘Terahertz(THz)switches are essential components of THz communication systems.THz switches based on conventional waveguides and photonic crystal structures are sensitive to manufacturing defects and sharp bending,resulting in high scattering losses.In addition,THz switches with tunable working bandwidths have not yet been demonstrated.Here,we design THz switches based on a topological valley photonic crystal(VPC)structure using magnetic materials,which can achieve high forward transmittance based on the unique spin–valley locking effect.The broad working bandwidth allows selective turning on and off at a designed wavelength region by controlling the applied magnetic field.The designed THz switch can achieve an extinction ratio of up to 31.66 dB with an insertion loss of less than 0.13 dB.The 3-dB bandwidth is up to 49 GHz.This tunable THz switch can be experimentally fabricated by current fabrication techniques and thus can find broad applications in THz communication systems.

文摘The effects of synthesis conditions,especially the heating rate,on the reaction kinetics of Ni-rich cathodes were systematically studied.The growth rate of Ni-rich oxide increases continuously as the heating rate increases.Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that a high heating rate induces anabatic oscillations,indicating a decrease in thermodynamic stability and a tendency for the crystal surface to undergo reconstruction.The presence of an intermediate phase at the grain boundary amplifies atomic migration-induced interface fusion and consequently augments crystal growth kinetics.However,the excessively high heating rate aggravates the Li+/Ni2+mixing in the Ni-rich cathode.The single-crystal Ni-rich cathode exhibits enhanced structural/thermal stability but a decreased specific capacity and rate performance compared with its polycrystalline counterpart.

文摘We report the magnetic and transport properties of EuBi_(2) single crystal. EuBi_(2) exhibits complex magnetic behavior at low temperatures. In both the in-plane and out-of-plane directions, three antiferromagnetic(AFM) transitions have been observed at T_(N1)~18.9 K, T_(N2)~7.0 K, and T_(N3)~3.1 K. Among them, the transitions at T_(N2) and T_(N3) represent the canted AFM orders with ferromagnetic components. As the magnetic field increases, the transition at T_(N3) is rapidly suppressed to disappearance. However, the transitions at T_(N1) and T_(N2) persist until high fields and their signatures can also be reflected in the resistivity and specific heat. Above the magnetic transition temperature T_(N1), the resistivity of EuBi_(2) increases linearly with temperature, exhibiting the strange-metal behavior. In the magnetically ordered region below T_(N1), EuBi_(2) exhibits the weak antilocalization(WAL) effect and large magnetoresistance(475% at 1.8 K and 14 T). It is suggested that the magnetic ordering significantly enhances the spin–orbital coupling interaction and induces the WAL effect.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis(AHLE),also known as Weston-Hurst syndrome,is a very rare and fulminant form of demyelinating disorder.It is considered a hyperacute and severe variant of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.Clinically,patients present with fever,headache,seizures,and altered sensorium,which can rapidly progress to coma or death.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)is the investigation of choice and plays a pivotal role in diagnosing AHLE.The purpose of this article is to make readers familiar with the typical MRI features of AHLE and to discuss differentials.CASE SUMMARY This case series reports the clinical presentation and typical neuroimaging findings in four patients diagnosed with AHLE.All patients presented with acute neurological symptoms,such as severe headaches,seizures,and altered consciousness,often following a history of fever suggesting an infectious etiology.Additionally,laboratory investigations demonstrated elevated levels of serum inflammatory markers and neutrophilic pleocytosis on cerebrospinal fluid analysis,supporting a post-infectious etiology.MRI findings consistently revealed characteristic white matter lesions with hemorrhagic foci and vasogenic edema,indicative of widespread demyelination characteristic of AHLE.The outcomes varied,with two patients surviving but experiencing neurological sequelae,while two others unfortunately succumbed to the disease.The clinical data,laboratory results,and imaging findings from this case series were systematically compared with those from previously published studies.The key similarities and differences in clinical presentation,imaging characteristics,and outcomes are presented in a tabulated format.CONCLUSION AHLE is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates,emphasizing the need for early recognition,prompt intervention,and multidisciplinary management.Further research is needed to explain the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AHLE,identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis,and develop targeted therapies to improve patient outcomes.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.

文摘The exploration and synthesis of new materials are important for materials science and condensed matter physics.Here, we report the crystal structure, magnetic properties, and electrical transport properties of the single crystals of Nd_(5)ScSb_(12), which is a quasi-one-dimensional new compound. Nd_(5)ScSb_(12) exhibits antiferromagnetic transition in both directions perpendicular and parallel to the long axis. Moreover, the magnetic field-dependent magnetization reveals two metamagnetic transitions. The electrical transport properties have been measured on the same sample but with different measurement lengths between the electrodes of the voltage. The resistivity exhibits the metallic behavior. At low temperatures, the Kondo effect and negative transverse magnetoresistance(MR)(B⊥I) have been observed. Interestingly, the measurement length has a significant impact on the Kondo effect and negative MR, providing an intuitive new approach to regulate the Kondo effect. As the measurement length increases, the Kondo effect and negative MR become more pronounced. This not only indicates that the interaction between magnetic impurities and conduction electrons dominates the electrical transport of Nd_(5)ScSb_(12) at low temperatures, but also confirms that the negative MR originates from the suppression of the Kondo effect.

文摘Poly(_(L)-lactide)(PLLA),a leading biodegradable polyester,has demonstrated potential as a sustainable alternative,owing to its excellent biodegradability and rigidity.However,their slow crystallization kinetics and poor heat resistance limit their application scope.Recent advances have highlighted that the combination of extensional flow and thermal fields can achieve toughness–stiffness balance,high transparency,and good heat resistance.However,the effect of extensional flow on the post-non-isothermal crystallization of PLLA during heating and the resulting crystalline texture remains unclear.In this study,PLLA with a heterogeneous amorphous structure and oriented polymorph was prepared by extensional flow.The effect of heterogeneous amorphous structures on non-isothermal crystallization kinetics during the heating process was studied by thermal analysis,polarized optical microscopy,infrared spectroscopy,and ex situ/in situ X-ray characterization.These results clearly illustrate that extensional flow enhances the formation of oriented crystalline structures,accelerates non-isothermal crystallization,and modulates the polymorphic composition of PLLA.Moreover,an unexpected dual cold-crystallization behavior is identified in ordered PLLA samples upon extensional flow,which is from the extensional flow-induced heterogeneous amorphous phase into α' phase(low-temperature peak)and the pristine amorphous phase intoαphase(high-temperature peak).The extensional flow primarily promotes the formation of the more perfectαandα'phases,but has a negative effect on the final content ofαphase formed after cold crystallization andα'-to-αphase transformation.The findings of this work advance the understanding of PLLA non-isothermal crystallization after extensional flow and offer valuable guidance for high-performance PLLA upon heat treatment in practical processing.
文摘An alternative elliptical and circle air-hole-assisted Al_(0.24)Ga_(0.76)As photonic crystal fiber(PCF)was proposed for generating broadband high-coherence mid-infrared supercontinuum,and the dispersion,effect-ive mode area and nonlinear coefficient were investigated by using finite element method(FEM),the evolu-tion of optical pulses propagating along the fiber was simulated,and the supercontinuum and the coherence were analyzed and evaluated under different pumping conditions.The results show that a supercontinuum spectrum with a spectral width of 4.852μm can be obtained in the proposed fiber with d_(1)/Λof 0.125,d_(2)/Λof 0.583 and the zero-dispersion wavelength of 3.228μm by pumping with a Gaussian pulse with a peak power of 800 W and a full width at half maximum(FWHM)of 20 fs at wavelength of 3.3μm.When the fiber is pumped by the pulse with the peak power of 2000 W,the FWHM of 80 fs at the wavelength of 4.0μm in the in the anomalous dispersion region,the modulation instability is obviously suppressed,and the high-coher-ence supercontinuum spectrum spanning from 1.1μm to 8.99μm is observed.A part of the pulse energy is transferred to the anomalous dispersion region when pumped at the wavelength of 2.8μm in the normal dis-persion region and a broadband high-coherence supercontinuum spectrum extending from 0.8μm to 9.8μm is generated in the 10 mm proposed fiber.This paper introduces elliptical air holes in the Al_(0.24)Ga_(0.76)As photonic crystal fiber,which enhances flexibility for tailoring the performance of supercontinuum,ultimately achieving the broadest supercontinuum spectrum with the shortest fiber length to date.

文摘Vanadium-based transition metal chalcogenides VmXn(X=S,Se,Te)with their distinctive quantum effects,tunable magnetism,spin-orbit coupling,and high carrier mobility are a valuable platform to explore the interplay between magnetism and electronic correlations,especially with tunable structural phases and magnetic properties through stoichiometric variations,making them ideal candidates for advanced device applications.Here,we report the synthesis of high-quality V_(5+x)S_(8)single crystals with different concentrations of self-intercalated vanadium.V_(5+x)S_(8)crystals show an antiferromagnetic behavior and a spin-flop-like transition below TN of 30.6 K.The high-quality V_(5+x)S_(8)single crystals exhibit a large negative magnetoresistance of 12.3%at 2 K.Interestingly,V_(5+x)S_(8)crystals show an obvious low-temperature resistance upturn that gradually levels off with the increasing magnetic field,attributed to the Kondo effect arising from the interaction between conduction electrons and embedded vanadium magnetic impurities.With increasing V doping,the antiferromagnetic interactions intensify,weakening the coupling between the local moments and conduction electrons,which in turn lowers the Kondo temperature(TK).Furthermore,the anomalous Hall effect is observed in V5.73S8,with an anomalous Hall conductivity(AHC)of 50.46 W^(-1)·cm^(-1)and anomalous Hall angle of 0.73%at 2 K.Our findings offer valuable insights into the mechanisms of the Kondo effect and anomalous Hall effect in self-intercalated transition metal chalcogenides with complex magnetism and electronic correlation effects.

文摘Two-dimensional(2D)fully compensated collinear magnetic materials ofer signifcant advantages for spintronic applications,including robustness against magnetic feld perturbations,no stray felds,and ultrafast dynamics.Among these materials,fully compensated ferrimagnets are particularly promising due to their unique characteristics such as the magneto-optical efect,completely spin-polarized currents,and the anomalous Hall efect.We performed a structural search on 2D unconventional stoichiometric Cr-I crystals using a global optimization algorithm.The most stable CrI-P21/m monolayer is a fully compensated ferrimagnetic semiconductor with a band gap of 1.57 eV and a high magnetic transition temperature of 592 K.The spontaneous spin splitting in CrI-P21/m originates from the inequivalent local coordination environments of Cr^(1)and Cr^(2)ions,yielding a mismatch in their 3d orbitals splitting.Notably,carrier doping at a concentration of 0.01 electrons or holes per atom enables reversible spin polarization,generating a fully spin-polarized current in CrI-P21/m.This performance makes it a highly promising candidate for spintronic devices.Our fndings not only provide a structural paradigm for discovering fully compensated ferrimagnets but also open a new avenue for designing zero-moment magnetic materials with intrinsic spin splitting.

文摘In current research,Li_(2)O-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)glass-ceramics were prepared by conventional meltquenching and subsequent heat treatment method.The effect of Al_(2)O_(3)content on microstructures,thermal properties,crystallization behaviours and mechanical properties were investigated.FTIR,Raman spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy microstructure analysis showed that the silico-oxygen network was damaged,while the increase of[AlO_(4)]content repaired the glass network,and finally made the glass network have better connectivity,with the decrease of SiO_(2).The thermal analysis confirmed the increasing glass transition and crystallization temperatures from growing Al_(2)O_(3)content.In addition,different crystal phases can be precipitated in the glass matrix,such as LiAlSi_(4)O_(10),Li_(2)Si_(2)O_(5) in glass with low Al_(2)O_(3)content,the combination of Li_xAl_xSi_(1-x)O_(2),LiAlSi_(3)O_(8),Li_(2)SiO_(3)in glass with intermediate Al_(2)O_(3)content,and the combination of LiAlSi_(2)O_(6),SiO_(2)in glass with high Al_(2)O_(3)content.The hardness of as-prepared glass gradually increases with the increase of the Al_(2)O_(3)content.The Vickers hardness of the glass-ceramics is highly dependent on the Al_(2)O_(3)content in the glass and the heat treatment temperatures,reaching a maximum of 10.11 GPa.Scanning electron microscope images show that the crystals change from spherical to massive and finally to sheet.The change of glass structure,crystal phase and morphology is the main reason for the different mechanical properties.
文摘Four distinct coordination polymers(CPs)were successfully synthesized by altering solvent types and adjusting ligand concentrations,and their crystal structures were investigated.[Co(L)(FDCA)(H_(2)O)_(2)]·0.5H_(2)O(1)was synthesized as a 2D structure using Coas the metal source,methanol‑water(4∶6,V/V)as the solvent,and specific concentrations of 2,5‑furandicarboxylic acid(H_(2)FDCA)and 1,3,5‑triimidazole benzene(L).Adjusting to pure water and lowering the concentration of L yielded the 1D chain structure of[Co(HL)2(H_(2)O)_(2)](FDCA)_(2)·6H_(2)O(2).Using Cu(Ⅱ)as the metal source,methanol/water(9∶1,V/V)as the solvent,and specific concentrations of L and H2FDCA,the 1D chain structure of[Cu(L)(FDCA)(H_(2)O)]·2H_(2)O(3)was synthesized.Upon increasing the concentrations of L and H2FDCA,and switching the solvent to pure water,the 1D chain structure of[Cu(HL)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)](FDCA)_(2)·6H_(2)O(4)was obtained.This shows that changing the solvent and ligand concentrations can affect the structural changes of CPs.In addition,the solid‑state photoluminescence of CPs 1‑4 at room temperature was studied,and their morphological changes were observed via scanning electron microscopy.Density functional theory calculations revealed that the negative charge concentrates on the O and N atoms of the ligand,facilitating ligand‑metal ion coordination.CCDC:2403934,1;2403935,2;2403936,3;2403938,4.
