Metal-organic coordination interactions are prime candidates for the formation of self-assembled, nanometer-scale periodic networks with room-temperature structural stability. We present X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements of such networks at the Cu(100) surface which provide clear evidence for genuine metal-organic coordination. This is evident as binding energy shifts in the O 1s an...

Recently two quite different types of "nano-containers" have been recognized as attractive potential drug carriers; these are wormlike filamenteous micelles ("filomicelles") on the one hand and metal organic frameworks on the other hand. In this work we combine these two concepts. We report for the first time the manufacturing of metal organic framework nanotubes with a hollow core. These worm-...

Porous lanthanide oxides were fabricated by a precursor-thermolysis method. The precursors were synthesized by a hydrothermal reaction with lanthanide (La, Ce, Pr and Nd) salts, sodium oxalate and asparagine (or glutamine). Under hydrothermal conditions asparagine and glutamine exhibited greatly different complexation abilities with lanthanide cations. The competitive interactions of lanthanide...

Thin Film Thermoelectric Metal-Organic Framework with High Seebeck Coefficient and Low Thermal Conductivity Report Title A new thermoelectric material with high Seebeck coefficient and low thermal conductivity is demonstrated based on an electrically conducting metal–organic framework (MOF) using the guest@MOF concept. This demonstration opens a new avenue for the future development of thermoel...

In this work, we give parallel transport frame of a curve and we introduce the relations between the frame and Frenet frame of the curve in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. The relation which is well known in Euclidean 3-space is generalized for the …rst time in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Then we obtain the condition for spherical curves using the parallel transport frame of them. The conditi...

The use of waste materials as organic amendments in soil remediation can affect metal solubility; this interaction will vary with the characteristics of the organic matter that is added to the soil. A pot experiment was carried out in a calcareous, metal-polluted soil, using Beta maritima L. as an indicator species for the treatment effects on metal solubility. The treatments were: fresh solid ...

The prevalence of metal-based reducing reagents, including metals, metal complexes, and metal salts, has produced an empirical order of reactivity that governs our approach to chemical synthesis. However, this reactivity may be influenced by stabilization of transition states, intermediates, and products through substrate-metal bonding. This article reports that in the absence of such stabilizi...

A series of metal-organic frameworks representing a non-interpenetrated framework analogue of MOF-14 have been synthesized by using two different linkers, 4,4',4''-benzene-1,3,5-triyl-benzoic acid (H(3)BTB) and 4,4'-bipyridine (Bpy). Interestingly, the transition metal ions in the paddle-wheel metal clusters could be exchanged by other transition metal ions via a direct single-crystal to single...
