An acid-stable 2D covalent organic framework (COF TpPa-1) was synthesized by a reversible Schiff-base reaction and the following irreversible enol-keto tautomerism. The adsorption behaviors of COF TpPa-1 towards Pd(II) in simulated high-level liquid waste (HLLW) were investigated under effect contact time, concentration nitric acid etc. obtained experimental results supported that utilization t...

Tautomers are often disregarded in computer-aided molecular modeling applications. Little is known about the different tautomeric states of a molecule and they are rarely registered in chemical databases. Tautomeric forms of a molecule differ in shape, functional groups, surface, and hydrogen-bonding pattern. Calculation of physical-chemical properties and molecular descriptors differ from one ...

Ferroelectrics based on proton tautomerism are promising in low-field and above-room-temperature operations. Here seven organic ferroelectric crystals are examined to search for efficient switching of strong spontaneous polarization on proton tautomerism. Solution-grown crystals exhibit strong pinning of ferroelectric domain walls, but excellent switching performance is awakened by depinning do...

The conserved pterin dithiolene ligand that coordinates molybdenum (Mo) in the cofactor (Moco) of mononuclear Mo enzymes can exist in both a tricyclic pyranopterin dithiolene form and as a bicyclic pterin-dithiolene form as observed in protein crystal structures of several bacterial molybdoenzymes. Interconversion between the tricyclic and bicyclic forms via pyran scission and cyclization has b...
