The analysis of twists and angles has shown two kinds of distortions: external [T(C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X<sup>n</sup>) and T(C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>)] and internal [T(N<sup>m</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X<sup>n</sup>) and T(N<sup>n</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>)] with averages of [+6°and –6°] and [–5°and +5°], respectively. In the meso-substituted case, the external and internal twists C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X and N-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X, respectively are oppositely orientated. Similar effect is observed in meso-unsubstituted of C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>- C<sup>meso</sup>-H and N-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-H. However, the external distortions are more significant than internal. Considering the same order, the limit of distortions is [97°and 132°(–48°)] for external and [91°(–89°) and 52°] for internal. In the two cases, the substituents have opposite directions of distortions. The meso-substituted porphyrins have a high limit of twisting than usubstituted one, depending of the weight of substituents. The average of the bond angular deformations is 168°, almost planar. However, the limit of angular deformation is 94°.展开更多

文摘Two Co(Ⅱ)and Ni(Ⅱ)complexes were synthesized by synergistic coordination of 3,3-diphenylpropionic acid(HDPA)and 2,2′-bipyridylamine(PAm).The structures of complexes[Co(DPA)_(2)(PAm)]·2H_(2)O(1)and[Ni(DPA)_(2)(PAm)]·2H_(2)O(2)were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction,IR spectroscopy,and powder X-ray diffraction.Hirshfeld surface analysis provided quantitative insights into the intermolecular interactions within the complexes,while molecular docking studies elucidated their binding modes and affinities toward urease.Furthermore,the biological activities of both complexes were systematically evaluated through a range of assays,including DNA binding,urease inhibition,antibacterial activity,and in vitro cytotoxicity against cancer cells.Both complexes exhibited binding affinity for DNA and displayed notable urease inhibitory activity.Under in vitro conditions,both complexes showed appreciable cytotoxicity toward HepG2 cells with efficacy comparable to clinically used platinumbased anticancer agents.CCDC:2479943,1;2479944,2.
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.

文摘Lithium manganese silicate(Li-Mn-Si-O)cathodes are key components of lithium-ion batteries,and their physical and mechanical properties are strongly influenced by their underlying crystal structures.In this study,a range of machine learning(ML)algorithms were developed and compared to predict the crystal systems of Li-Mn-Si-O cathode materials using density functional theory(DFT)data obtained from the Materials Project database.The dataset comprised 211 compositions characterized by key descriptors,including formation energy,energy above the hull,bandgap,atomic site number,density,and unit cell volume.These features were utilized to classify the materials into monoclinic(0)and triclinic(1)crystal systems.A comprehensive comparison of various classification algorithms including Decision Tree,Random Forest,XGBoost,Support VectorMachine,k-Nearest Neighbor,Stochastic Gradient Descent,Gaussian Naive Bayes,Gaussian Process,and Artificial Neural Network(ANN)was conducted.Among these,the optimized ANN architecture(6–14-14-14-1)exhibited the highest predictive performance,achieving an accuracy of 95.3%,aMatthews correlation coefficient(MCC)of 0.894,and an F-score of 0.963,demonstrating excellent consistency with DFT-predicted crystal structures.Meanwhile,RandomForest and Gaussian Processmodels also exhibited reliable and consistent predictive capability,indicating their potential as complementary approaches,particularly when data are limited or computational efficiency is required.This comparative framework provides valuable insights into model selection for crystal system classification in complex cathode materials.

文摘Two new binary cocrystals formulated as POM·NBA 1 and POM·DNSA 2 （POM = 3-methyl-4-nitro-pyridine-N-oxide, NBA = o-nitrobenzoic acid, DNSA = 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid） have been successfully synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single- crystal diffraction analysis. The crystal of 1 crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1, with a = 7.621（4）, b = 7.816（4）, c = 11.702（5） , α = 87.957（10）, β = 83.642（10）, γ = 81.535（10）o, C13H11N3O7, Z = 2, Mr = 321.25, V = 685.1（6） 3, Dc = 1.557 g/cm3, F（000） = 332, μ = 0.129 mm-1, the final R = 0.0632 and wR = 0.0831. The crystal of 2 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 14.910（9）, b = 5.904（3）, c =19.321（12） , β = 110.583（10）o, C13H10N4O10, Z = 4, Mr = 382.25, V = 1592.1（16） 3, Dc = 1.595 g/cm3, F（000） = 784, μ = 0.140 mm-1, the final R = 0.0598 and wR = 0.1589.

文摘Ferroelastic rare earth tantalates(RETaO_(4))are widely researched as the next-generation thermal barrier coatings(TBCs),and RETaO_(4)powders are hugely significant for synthesizing their coatings.The current research used chemical co-precipitation within an automated experimental device to synthesize RETaO_(4)(RE=Nd,Sm,Gd,Ho,Er)powders.The device automatically monitored and controlled the solutions'pH,improving the chemical co-precipitation efficiency.The crystal structure and microstructure of the RETaO_(4)powders can be controlled by changing the annealing temperature,and the materials undergo an m'-m phase transition.The m'-RETaO_(4)powders exhibit nano-size grains,while m-RETaO_(4)powders evince micron-size grains,altered by the annealing temperatures.A simultaneous thermal analysis es-timates the reversive ferroelastic tetragonal-monoclinic phase transition temperatures.Overall,this research focuses on the synthesis,crystal structures,microstructures,and phase transition of the fabricated RETaO_(4)powders.
文摘The reaction of Mg^(2+)and 5-{1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)-yl}terephthalic acid(H_(2)L)leads to two metal-organic frameworks,[Mg(L)(DMF)_(2)(H_(2)O)_(2)]_(2)·5DMF·2H_(2)O(1)with a 1D structure and[Mg_(2)(L)_(2)(DMSO)_(3)(H_(2)O)](2)with a 2D(4,4)-net structure.Interestingly,the two compounds exhibit distinct luminescent responses to external mechanical stimuli.1 exhibited exceptional resistance mechanical chromic luminescence(RMCL),which can be attributed to the predominant hydrogen bonds and the presence of high-boiling-point solvent molecules within its structure.2 had a reversible MCL property,which can be attributed to the dominantπ-πweak interactions,coupled with the reversible destruction/restoration of its crystallinity under grinding/fumigation.CCDC:2410963,1;2410964,2.

文摘All-inorganic perovskites based on cesium-lead-bromine(Cs-Pb-Br)have been a prominent research focus in optoelectronics in recent years.The optimisation and tunability of their macroscopic properties exploit the conformational flexibility,resulting in various crystal structures.Varying synthesis parameters can yield distinct crystal structures from Cs,Pb,and Br precursors,and manually exploring the relationship between these synthesis parameters and the resulting crystal structure is both labour-intensive and time-consuming.Machine learning(ML)can rapidly uncover insights and drive discoveries in chemical synthesis with the support of data,significantly reducing both the cost and development cycle of materials.Here,we gathered synthesis parameters from published literature(220 synthesis runs)and implemented eight distinct ML models,including eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGB),Decision Tree(DT),Support Vector Machine(SVM),Random Forest(RF),Naïve Bayes(NB),Logistic Regression(LR),Gradient Boosting(GB),and K-Nearest(KN)to classify and predict Cs-Pb-Br crystal structures from given synthesis parameters.Validation accuracy,precision,F1 score,recall,and average area under the curve(AUC)are employed to evaluate these ML models.The XGB model exhibited the best performance,achieving a validation accuracy of 0.841.The trained XGB model was subsequently utilised to predict the structure from 10 experimental runs using a randomised set of parameters,achieving a testing accuracy of 0.8.The results indicate that the Cs/Pb molar ratio,reaction time,and the concentration of organic compounds(ligands)play crucial roles in synthesising various crystal structures of Cs-Pb-Br.This study demonstrates a significant decrease in effort required for experimental procedures and builds a foundational basis for predicting crystal structures from synthesis parameters.

文摘Novel ordered intermetallic compounds have stimulated much interest.Ru–Al alloys are a prominent class of hightemperature structural materials,but the experimentally reported crystal structure of the intermetallic Ru_(2)Al_(5) phase remains elusive and debatable.To resolve this controversy,we extensively explored the crystal structures of Ru_(2)Al_(5) using first-principles calculations combined with crystal structure prediction technique.Among the calculated x-ray diffraction patterns and lattice parameters of five candidate Ru2Al5structures,those of the orthorhombic Pmmn structure best aligned with recent experimental results.The structural stabilities of the five Ru_(2)Al_(5)structures were confirmed through formation energy,elastic constants,and phonon spectrum calculations.We also comprehensively analyzed the mechanical and electronic properties of the five candidates.This work can guide the exploration of novel ordered intermetallic compounds in Ru–Al alloys.

文摘Based on 4'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid(H_(4)bta)ligand,zinc metal-organic framework(Zn-MOF):{[Zn_(2)(bta)(bpy)_(2)(H_(2)O)]·1.5H_(2)O}_(n)(bpy=2,2'-bipyridine)was designed and synthesized by hydrothermal method.Its structure was characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectra,X-ray single crystal diffraction,etc.The asymmetric unit of Zn-MOF contains two crystallographically independent Zn^(2+)ions.Through the connection of Zn^(2+)ions via H_(4)bta,a 1D double-layer network structure is formed.Adjacent double-layer networks further form a 2D supramolecular network through hydrogen bonding.Notably,Zn-MOF exhibited excellent fluorescence properties and could efficiently and sensitively detect various water pollutants:4-nitrophenol(4-NP),Cu^(2+),and pyrimethanil(Pth).Additionally,the mechanism of fluorescence sensing was investigated.CCDC:2432230.
文摘Experimental crystallographic structural parameters of a range of metaled meso-substituted and unsubstituted porphyrins were reviewed to show how far the meso-substitution by any functional group and the insertion of metal in the porphyrins core macrocycle may affect the geometry. The analysis of twists and angles has shown two kinds of distortions: external [T(C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X<sup>n</sup>) and T(C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>)] and internal [T(N<sup>m</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X<sup>n</sup>) and T(N<sup>n</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>)] with averages of [+6°and –6°] and [–5°and +5°], respectively. In the meso-substituted case, the external and internal twists C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X and N-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-X, respectively are oppositely orientated. Similar effect is observed in meso-unsubstituted of C<sup>β</sup>-C<sup>α</sup>- C<sup>meso</sup>-H and N-C<sup>α</sup>-C<sup>meso</sup>-H. However, the external distortions are more significant than internal. Considering the same order, the limit of distortions is [97°and 132°(–48°)] for external and [91°(–89°) and 52°] for internal. In the two cases, the substituents have opposite directions of distortions. The meso-substituted porphyrins have a high limit of twisting than usubstituted one, depending of the weight of substituents. The average of the bond angular deformations is 168°, almost planar. However, the limit of angular deformation is 94°.

文摘Light element compounds under high pressure display intriguing properties and applications,owing to their diverse bonding patterns and crystalline structures.However,the system of ternary Be-C-O compounds under high pressure,as the lightest representative of the IIA-IVA-VIA family,remains largely unexplored.Using a machine-learning-accelerated crystal structure search and first-principles calculations,Be-C-O phase diagrams are investigated at pressures ranging from 0 to 100 GPa.Four ternary compounds are proposed to be stable at corresponding pressures:BeCO_(3),Be_(2)CO_(4),Be_(2)C_(4)O_(3),and BeC_(4)O_(2).Analyses of electronic structure and chemical bonding further reveal how the structural diversity of these compounds is induced.Remarkably,Be_(2)C_(4)O_(3) and BeC_(4)O_(2) are recoverable to ambient conditions and possess both high energy density and high hardness.The volumetric energy densities of Be_(2)C_(4)O_(3) and BeC_(4)O_(2) could approach 9.03 and 7.94 kJ/cm^(3),respectively.The Vickers hardnesses of Be_(2)C_(4)O_(3) and BeC_(4)O_(2) are found to be close to 39.58 and 51.57 GPa,respectively.These findings demonstrate the structural and functional diversity of Be-C-O compounds under high pressure,providing guidance for further exploration of the IIA-IVA-VIA compounds.

文摘4-Bromo-3-methylphenol(BMP)is an important chemical intermediate with wide applications in the fields of medicine and pesticides.The synthesis of BMP from m-cresol via bromination is easy to carry out on an industrial scale.However,due to the formation of regioisomeric impurities during bromination and the low melting point of BMP,the separation process is prone to the formation of oily substances,resulting in low yield and purity.In this work,a new cocrystallization engineering approach was proposed to separate and purify BMP.Through design of experiments,the cocrystallization process of BMP and triethylenediamine(DABCO)was optimized using a minimum-run resolution IV screening design combined with response surface methodology.In addition,the obtained 2BMP-DABCO powder was characterized by thermal analysis,powder X-ray diffraction,infrared spectroscopy,and scanning electron microscopy.Single crystals of 2BMP-DABCO were grown from acetone by slow evaporation,and detailed structural information was obtained through single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The self-assembly mechanism was further clarified by density functional theory calculations.This study provides a simple,robust,and scalable method for the production of BMP and offers a reference for the separation and purification of phenolic substances.
