Abstract
Two new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, {[Zn(HL)(bpea)]·DMF}n (Zn-MOF-1) and {[Co(HL)(bpea)]·DMF}n (Co-MOF-2) (H3L = 3-(3,5-dicarboxybenzyloxy)benzoic acid, bpea = 1,2-di(pyridyl)ethane), were obtained by the reaction of H3L and N-containing ligand bpea with Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and Co(NO3)2·6H2O, respectively. The isomorphic Zn-MOF-1 and Co-MOF-2 featured a 3D penetrating framework with different stabilities, luminescence, and catalytic properties. Luminescence measurement indicated that Zn-MOF-1 could be used to detect Al3+ through a turn-on effect with a detection limit of 0.42 μM. The sensing mechanism experiments showed that the enhanced luminescence of Zn-MOF-1 toward Al3+ may be due to the weak interaction between Al3+ and Zn-MOF-1 and the absorbance-caused enhancement (ACE) mechanism. Meanwhile, both Zn-MOF-1 and Co-MOF-2 showed interesting CO2 adsorption properties and could catalyze the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides resulting in 96 and 92% ideal products within 12 hours, respectively. They can be cycled up to 5 times without significant loss of catalytic efficiency.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:48704-48710.

Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and efficient methods for the synthesis of ethylene carbonate (EC) is crucial for advancing carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies. Herein, we present the synthesis of EC through the transesterification of urea with ethylene glycol (EG) using a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) derived Fe-doped ZnO catalyst (Fe;ZnO-ZIF). The Fe;ZnO-ZIF catalyst, prepared by incorporating Fe dopant atoms into a ZnO-ZIF template, demonstrates excellent catalytic activity, achieving high conversion of reactants and superior selectivity toward EC at 160 °C for 150 min under an applied vacuum (160 mmHg). Based on the thermogravimetric, X-ray spectroscopic, and temperature-programmed desorption analysis, the simultaneous presence of strong Lewis acidic and basic sites in Fe;ZnO-ZIF enables its excellent catalytic performance toward EC synthesis with high selectivity. Acidic sites activate the carbon center in urea, while basic sites facilitate the nucleophilic attack on urea by deprotonation of EG. This synergistic reaction pathway resulting from the interaction between the strong Lewis acidic and basic sites promotes nucleophilic attacks of EG on urea, leading to significantly higher conversion efficiency and selectivity, compared to the commercial benchmark ZnO. Although the establishment of a continuous reaction system which takes into account cyclability and stability of the catalysts is further required in the future, our research reported herein provides valuable insights into the design of synergistic, localized active sites for EC synthesis and contributes to the development of sustainable carbon utilization technologies for achievement of net-zero emissions.

Abstract
In view of their high theoretical capacities, nickel-rich layered oxides are promising cathode materials for high-energy Li-ion batteries. However, the practical applications of these oxides are hindered by transition metal dissolution, microcracking, and gas/reactive compound formation due to the undesired reactions of residual lithium species. Herein, we show that the interfacial degradation of the LiNi0.9CoxMnyAlzO2 (NCMA, x + y + z = 0.1) cathode and the graphite (Gr) anode of a representative Li-ion battery by HF can be hindered by supplementing the electrolyte with tert-butyldimethylsilyl glycidyl ether (tBS-GE). The silyl ether moiety of tBS-GE scavenges HF and PF5, thus stabilizing the interfacial layers on both electrodes, while the epoxide moiety reacts with CO2 released by the parasitic reaction between HF and Li2CO3 on the NCMA surface to afford cyclic carbonates and thus suppresses battery swelling. NCMA/Gr full cells fabricated by supplementing the baseline electrolyte with 0.1 wt % tBS-GE feature an increased capacity retention of 85.5% and deliver a high discharge capacity of 162.9 mAh/g after 500 cycles at 1 C and 25 °C. Thus, our results reveal that the molecular aspect-based design of electrolyte additives can be efficiently used to eliminate reactive species and gas components from Li-ion batteries and increase their performance.

Abstract
Building metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) covalently modified by onium halides is a promising approach to develop efficient MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides (CCE) into cyclic carbonates. Herein, we report a novel zirconium-based MOF covalently modified by methyl pyridinium bromide, Zr6O4(OH)4(MPTDC)2.2(N-CH3-MPTDC)3.8Br3.8 ((Br-)CH3-Pyridinium-MOF-1), where MPTDC denotes 3-methyl-4-pyridin-4-yl-thieno[2,3-b] thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate. The structure and composition of this complex were fully characterized with PXRD, NMR, XPS, TEM and so on. CO2 adsorption experiments show that (Br-)CH3-Pyridinium-MOF-1 has a higher affinity for CO2 than its electrically neutral precursor, which should be attributed to the fact that charging frameworks containing pyridinium salt have stronger polarization to CO2. (Br-)CH3-Pyridinium-MOF-1 integrated reactive Lewis acid sites and Br- nucleophilic anions and exhibited efficient catalytic activity for CCE under ambient pressure in the absence of co-catalysts and solvents. Furthermore, (Br-)CH3-Pyridinium-MOF-1 was recycled after five successive cycles without substantial loss in catalytic activity. The corresponding reaction mechanism also was speculated.

Abstract
In recent years, the chemical industry has put emphasis on designing or modifying chemical processes that would increasingly meet the requirements of the adopted proecological sustainable development strategy and the principles of green chemistry. The development of cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides undoubtedly follows this trend. First, it represents a significant improvement over the older glycol phosgenation method. Second, it uses renewable and naturally abundant carbon dioxide as a raw material. Third, the process is most often solvent-free. However, due to the low reactivity of carbon dioxide, the process of synthesising cyclic carbonates requires the use of a catalyst. The efforts of researchers are mainly focused on the search for new, effective catalysts that will enable this reaction to be carried out under mild conditions with high efficiency and selectivity. Recently, deep eutectic solvents (DES) have become the subject of interest as potential effective, cheap, and biodegradable catalysts for this process. The work presents an up-to-date overview of the method of cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides with the use of DES as catalysts.

Abstract
Five cobalt(II) complexes of formula [CoCl2(Ln)2] [1 with L1 = 1-benzyl-2-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole, 2 with L2 = 2-(furan-2-yl)-1-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole, 3 with L3 = 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-benzimidazole, 4 with L4 = 1-(2-methoxybenzyl)-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole and 5 with L5 = 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole] have been synthesised, spectroscopically characterised and cryomagnetically investigated. The crystal structures of 1, 3, 4 and 5 have been determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. Each cobalt(II) ion is four-coordinate in a distorted tetrahedral environment built by two chloride anions and two benzimidazole ligands. The neutral molecules are well separated from each other, shortest intermolecular cobalt⋯cobalt distances being greater than 9.0 Å. Static (dc) magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 2.0-300 K of 1-5 reveal the occurrence of a Curie law behaviour of magnetically non-interacting spin quadruplets in the high-temperature domain with a downturn at low temperatures due to magnetic anisotropy. The values of the D and E/D parameters for these compounds vary in the ranges -8.75 to +8.96 cm-1 and 0.00140 to 0.23, respectively. Dynamic (ac) magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1-5 show slow magnetic relaxation in the lack (1) or under the presence (1-5) of applied dc magnetic fields, a feature which is typical of single-molecule magnet behaviour (SMM). The analysis of the ac data shows that a thermally activated Orbach relaxation mechanism dominates this behaviour. Complexes 1-5 also act as efficient and highly selective eco-friendly catalysts in the coupling reaction between CO2 and epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates under solvent-free conditions. Under optimized reaction conditions, different epoxides were converted to the respective cyclic carbonate, with excellent conversions, using catalyst 4.
