  abstract  = {When new covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are designed, the main efforts are typically focused on selecting specific building blocks with certain geometries and properties to control the structure and function of the final COFs. The nature of the linkage (imine, boroxine, vinyl, etc.) between these building blocks naturally also defines their properties. However, besides the linkage type, the orientation, i.e., the constitutional isomerism of these linkages, has rarely been considered so far as an essential aspect. In this work, three pairs of constitutionally isomeric imine-linked donor-acceptor (D-A) COFs are synthesized, which are different in the orientation of the imine bonds (D-C=N-A (DCNA) and D-N=C-A (DNCA)). The constitutional isomers show substantial differences in their photophysical properties and consequently in their photocatalytic performance. Indeed, all DCNA COFs show enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution performance than the corresponding DNCA COFs. Besides the imine COFs shown here, it can be concluded that the proposed concept of constitutional isomerism of linkages in COFs is quite universal and should be considered when designing and tuning the properties of COFs.},

  abstract  = {In this review article, we highlight the synthesis, structures and gas-sorption properties of a series of nine isostructural IFPs (IFP = Imidazolate Framework Potsdam) and two H-bonded networks. IFPs were synthesized by in situ partial hydrolysis of a 4,5-dicyanoimidazole under solvothermal conditions and hence an imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate linker (C5H3N4O2) was generated, forming the metal -amide-imidate-imidazolateframeworks [M(C5H3N4O2)-R]. Varying R in the 2-substitued linker (R = Me, Cl, Br, Et, OMe and OEt) and metal centre (M2+ = zinc and cobalt) allowed the variation in channel diameter (4.2-03 angstrom) and a fine-tuning of the polarity and functionality of the channel walls of IFPs. Furthermore, we show that using ethyl or alkoxy substituted IFPs the flexible groups act as molecular gates for guest molecules. This allows highly selective CO2 sorption over Ny and CH4 gases. Moreover, during the synthesis of methoxy substituted IFPs (IFP-7 and -8), an imidazolate-4,5-diamide-2-olate linker (C5H4N4O3) formed in situ leads to the formation of a molecular building block (MBB) with a M-6 octahedron inscribed in a M-8 cube (M Zn2+ and Co2+). The MBBs connect by amide amide hydrogen bonds to a 3D robust supramolecular networks [Zn-14(C5H4N4O3)(12)(O) (OH)(2) (DMF)(4) denoted as 1 and 2, respectively, DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide], which can be activated for N-2, CO2, CH4, and H-2 gas-sorption.

  abstract  = {The preparation of porous, i.e., high surface area electrodes from transparent conducting oxides, is a valuable goal in materials chemistry as such electrodes can enable further development of optoelectronic, electrocatalytic, or bioelectronic devices. In this work the first tin-rich mesoporous indium tin oxide is prepared using the molecular heterobimetallic single-source precursor, indium tin tris-tert-butoxide, together with an appropriate structure-directing template, yielding materials with high surface areas and tailorable pore size. The resulting mesoporous tin-rich ITO films show a high and durable electrical conductivity and transparency, making them interesting materials for hosting electroactive biomolecules such as proteins. In fact, its unique performance in bioelectronic applications has been demonstrated by immobilization of high amounts of cytochrome c into the mesoporous film which undergo redox processes directly with the conductive electrode material.},

All experimental isotherms can be nicely described by using the Toth isotherm model and show the preferred adsorption of CO2 over CH4. At low pressures the Toth isotherm equation exhibits a Henry region, wherefore Henry's law constants for CO2 and CH4 uptake could be determined and ideal selectivity (alpha CO2/CH4) has been calculated. Secondly, selectivities were calculated from mixture data by using nearly equimolar binary mixtures of both gases by a volumetric-chromatographic method to examine the IFPs. Results showed the reliability of the selectivity calculation. Values of (alpha CO2/CH4) around 7.5 for IFP-5 indicate that this material shows much better selectivities than IFP-1, IFP-2, IFP-3, IFP-4 and IFP-6 with slightly lower selectivity (alpha CO2/CH4) = 4-6. The preferred adsorption of CO2 over CH4 especially of IFP-5 and IFP-4 makes these materials suitable for gas separation application.},

  abstract  = {We report on a new series of isoreticular frameworks based on zinc and 2-substituted imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate (IFP-14, IFP=imidazolate framework Potsdam) that form one-dimensional, microporous hexagonal channels. Varying R in the 2-substitued linker (R=Me (IFP-1), Cl (IFP-2), Br (IFP-3), Et (IFP-4)) allowed the channel diameter (4.01.7 angstrom), the polarisability and functionality of the channel walls to be tuned. Frameworks IFP-2, IFP-3 and IFP-4 are isostructural to previously reported IFP-1. The structures of IFP-2 and IFP-3 were solved by X-ray crystallographic analyses. The structure of IFP-4 was determined by a combination of PXRD and structure modelling and was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and 1H MAS and 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy. All IFPs showed high thermal stability (345400?degrees C); IFP-1 and IFP-4 were stable in boiling water for 7 d. A detailed porosity analysis was performed on the basis of adsorption measurements by using various gases. The potential of the materials to undergo specific interactions with CO2 was investigated by measuring the isosteric heats of adsorption. The capacity to adsorb CH4 (at 298 K), CO2 (at 298 K) and H2 (at 77 K) at high pressure were also investigated. In situ IR spectroscopy showed that CO2 is physisorbed on IFP-14 under dry conditions and that both CO2 and H2O are physisorbed on IFP-1 under moist conditions.},
