Metallic interstitial compound Ni3Mo3N was synthesized as co-catalyst modified CdS nanorod for the first time. Photocatalytic studies show that the efficient charge separation and transfer from CdS to the Ni3Mo3N enables high visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution at 6.56 mmol·g-1·h-1. Schottky heterojunction between CdS and Ni3Mo3N might be the key factor for the high photocatalytic activity.

{We demonstrate a mid-infrared (mid-IR) resonant optical tunneling platform that yields order-of-magnitude enhancement of the Goos--H"anchen (GH) shift through critical coupling in the transverse magnetic (TM) channel. The device comprises a prism, a monolayer graphene sheet, an ultrathin Weyl-semimetal (WSM, Co3Sn2S2) film and an air gap. The underlying mechanism is a balance between resonant tunneling across the gap and internal dissipation within the graphene/WSM stack, which drives a deep reflectance minimum and a rapid $pi$ phase winding and produces giant, sign controllable lateral displacements. At an incidence wavelength of $lambda=10.8 mumathrm{m}$, the structure operates very close to critical coupling ($R_{min}<0.5%$) and exhibits a steep TM reflection phase slope, which translates into a millimeter-scale lateral displacement of several hundred wavelengths ($10^{2}lambda$). The GH response is actively reconfigurable, and when the Fermi level of grephene is tuned to $u_c= 1.0~mathrm{eV}$, the tunneling can induce a sign reversal of the shift and a giant spike with $ 10^{3}lambda$. Filling the gap with an analyte further enables refractometric sensing with angular and amplitude sensitivities of $S_theta=25$--$38~mathrm{deg/RIU}$ and $S_D=(1.5$--$5)times10^{4},lambda/mathrm{RIU}$, respectively. These results establish mid-IR resonant tunneling as a compact route to ultra large, sign switchable GH shifts with clear utility for precision beam steering, weak measurement readout, and integrated photonic sensing.

In this study, we proposed modifying zinc gluconate with cardanol to prepare hard carbon, and the performance was improved compared with the existing hard carbon materials. After carbonization and acid etching, zinc gluconate and cardanol form a porous carbon structure with typical carbon layer crystallites. When preheated at 450 °C, cardanol and zinc gluconate were fully mixed to construct a hyper-crosslinked three-dimensional structure. At the same time, zinc oxide nanoparticles were formed and acted as a hard template to create nanopores in carbon frameworks during the following etching step. Then the porous mesophase carbon was further carbonized at 1000 °C to produce the typical hard carbons, which was named as Glu-CA-450-1000. Thanks to the rich carbon layers with suitable interlayer spacing and closed nanopores, Glu-CA-450-1000 exhibits excellent performances, with an initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) of 86 % and a reversible capacity of 365.8 mAh g−1 at 100 mA g−1. The "Glu-CA-450-1000" and Na3V2(PO4)3 (NVP) have been successfully assembled into a full battery. This study develops hard carbon using cardanol as a biomass carbon precursor and zinc gluconate as a bifunctional template, while revealing the importance of multistep calcination on the porous structure and carbon layer crystallites.

This study presents a comprehensive optical spectroscopic investigation of spin-crossover (SCO) behavior in the Fe(II) complex, [Fe(bppsipr)2](BF4)2 (where bppsipr = 4-(iso-propylsulfanyl)-2,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine), in both hydrated and dehydrated single-crystal forms. High-resolution single-crystal UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy is employed to monitor thermally driven spin-state switching at multiple temperature scan rates, revealing abrupt transitions with variable hysteresis widths. In the hydrated form, hysteresis width narrowed with decreasing scan rate due to reduced kinetic barriers and variation in cooperativity. In contrast, the dehydrated form displayed stronger scan-rate dependence, wider hysteresis, and metastable high-spin (HS) stabilization upon cooling, attributed to increased lattice rigidity, and elevated relaxation barriers. Notably, the mutual interplay between elastic and magnetic interactions differ between cooling (HS → LS) and heating (LS → HS) cycles across scan rates. Thermal annealing of the dehydrated crystal restored structural homogeneity, yielding narrower hysteresis and upward-shifted transition temperatures during cooling, without affecting the heating branch—indicating asymmetric energy dissipation dynamics (magnetic vs elastic) during HS → LS and LS → HS transitions. The hydrated compound also demonstrates efficient photoinduced LS → HS switching (LIESST) at 4 K, with metastable HS state relaxing sharply near T(LIESST). Time-resolved spectroscopy between 50-75 K revealed two-step HS → LS relaxation mechanism, involving initial stochastic LS nucleation followed by cooperative domain growth. In contrast, no photoresponse is observed in the dehydrated form within measurement timeframe, likely due to increased ΔE0HL and higher lattice stiffness. Partial LS recovery via reverse-LIESST (830 nm excitation) confirms bistability and domain sensitivity in the hydrated state. To model the photoinduced relaxation behavior, an advanced mechanoelastic framework is applied, integrating thermodynamic, elastic, and local structural factors including hydration-induced pressure and Jahn–Teller distortion. The model successfully reproduced the cooperative HS → LS relaxation kinetics and domain evolution, validating the significance of local pressure fluctuations, lattice inhomogeneities, and angular-strain in dictating SCO dynamics. Overall, this work highlights the critical influence of hydration-dehydration, lattice quality, and thermal history on spin-state cooperativity and bistability, offering deep insight into the molecular control of SCO behavior. The integrated experimental–theoretical approach offers valuable insights for designing next-generation photoresponsive SCO materials with tunable switching characteristics.

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have emerged as versatile metal-free catalysts for small-molecule activation, and strategies to control frustration through geometric immobilization and electronic tuning remain a topic of significant interest. Carborane cages, with their unique coordination-dependent electronic effects, have recently been shown to modulate FLP frustration. In this work, we introduce o-silaborane cages, whose coordination-based electronic effects had not previously been explored for modulating FLP reactivity. The –BH2 and –PH2 substituents were strategically placed at distinct coordinating sites of the cages to systematically compare the coordination dichotomy of o-carborane and o-silaborane frameworks in influencing the frustration of Lewis pairs. CO2 activation was employed as the model reaction to assess and compare these effects. Electronic structure analysis reveals that silaborane exerts stronger electron-withdrawing and electron-donating influences than carborane, leading to pronounced differences in acidity–basicity balance, strain distribution, and the stability of CO2 complexes. Furthermore, transition-state energetics demonstrate that site-dependent positioning of Lewis acid–base centres critically governs activation barriers. In the o-carborane framework, the acid and base groups positioned at the 1,4-sites exhibit the highest reactivity, whereas in the o-silaborane system, the 4,9-substituted arrangement is identified as the most reactive. These findings establish silaborane as a promising bridging unit, opening new design pathways for tuneable FLP-based CO2 utilization and broader small-molecule activation.

The effect of the very small anisotropy on the slow relaxation of the magnetization has been analysed for two series of structurally related MnII complexes with trans-octahedral or trigonal bipyramid environment. Complexes with formula [MnX2(S,S-L1)] in which L1 is a neutral tetradentate Schiff base and X = NCS- (1NCS) , Cl- (2Cl), Br- (3Br), I- (4I) and [MnX2(L2)] in which L2 is a neutral tridentate Schiff base and X = Cl- (5Cl), Br- (6Br) and the 1D [Mn(N3)2(L2)]n (7) systems were characterized. Profiting the increasing Spin Orbit Coupling (SOC) contribution of the heavier halide donors in complexes 1-6 the gradation of the axial zero field splitting parameter (D) comprised between ~0.1-0.6 cm-1, determined from EPR spectroscopy, has been studied.

In this study, a ThT@Q[8] host-guest complex was obtained via an interaction between cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) as the host and thioflavin T (ThT) as the guest. Then, ThT@Q[8]-Fe3+ and ThT@Q[8]-Hg2+ fluorescent probes were constructed based on metal ion stimuli-responsive supramolecular interactions. These probes exhibited distinct fluorescence responses toward five physiological phosphate anions (Pi, PPi, AMP, ADP, and ATP) due to electrostatic and coordinative interactions. A supramolecular fluorescence sensing array was thus developed using ThT@Q[8]-Fe3+ and ThT@Q[8]-Hg2+ as sensing units for the discrimination and detection of these phosphate anions. The array showed excellent anti-interference performance and successfully distinguished phosphate anions at low, medium, and high concentrations. A good linear relationship was observed between Factor 1 and anion concentration over the range from the limit of quantitation (LOQ) to 10 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.13 μM. The array was also effective in discriminating the five phosphate anions in human serum. With advantages such as rich output signals, low cost, and simple preparation, this array holds considerable potential for detecting phosphate anions in biological systems. Furthermore, it enabled monitoring of ATP hydrolysis and evaluation of the energy charge in human serum.

Then, ThT@Q[8]-Fe3+ and ThT@Q[8]-Hg2+ fluorescent probes were constructed based on metal ion stimuli-responsive supramolecular interactions. These probes exhibited distinct fluorescence responses toward five physiological phosphate anions (Pi, PPi, AMP, ADP, and ATP) due to electrostatic and coordinative interactions.
