An organophosphate 3d-4f heterometallic polyoxoniobate nanowire.

Four different structural compositions of organophosphate, 3d transition metal, 4f lanthanide and polyoxoniobate (PONb) are unified in a system for the first time to form a new type of organophosphate 3d-4f heterometallic inorganic-organic hybrid PONb nanowire. Interesting magnetic anisotropy and slow magnetic relaxation are found in the PONb nanowire.

The mechanism governing the formation of intermolecular charge transfer bands: a series of polyoxomolybdates as a case study.

A series of proof-of-concept models of polyoxomolybdates with different protonated disubstituted aniline counterions and the same ß-Mo8O26 polyanion were synthesized to study the mechanism governing the formation of the intermolecular charge transfer (inter-CT) band.

Unveiling the effect of water on photoinduced electron transfer by crystallographic study.

A series of proof-of-concept models with different degrees of hydration in the same donor-acceptor system were obtained through a functional motif-oriented structural design and screening strategy. The effect of water molecules on photoinduced electron transfer was explored from a crystallographic perspective for the first time. The reasons for the structural differences caused by different degrees of hydration were also discussed.
