Abstract
The high catalytic activity of Cu-based nanozymes mainly depends on the efficient Fenton-like reaction of Cu+/ H2O2, but Cu+ cannot exist stably. Trying to find a material that can stably support Cu+ while promoting the electron cycle of Cu2+/Cu+ still faces serious challenges. C60 is expected to be an ideal candidate to solve this problem due to its unique structure and rich physicochemical properties. Here, we designed and synthesized a C60-doped Cu+-based nanozyme (termed as C60-Cu-Bpy) by loading high catalytic active site Cu+ onto C60 and coordinating with 2,2'-bipyridine (Bpy). The single crystal diffraction analysis and a series of auxiliary characterization technologies were used to demonstrate the successful preparation of C60-Cu-Bpy. Significantly, the C60-Cu-Bpy exhibited superior peroxidase-like activity during the catalytic oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). Then, the catalytic mechanism of C60-Cu-Bpy as peroxidase was elucidated in detail, mainly benefiting from the dual function of C60. On the one hand, C60 acted as a carrier to directly support Cu+, which has the ability to efficiently decompose H2O2 to produce reactive oxygen species. The other was that C60 acted as an electron buffer, contributing to promoting the Cu2+/Cu+ cycle to facilitate the reaction. Furthermore, a colorimetric sensor for the quantitative analysis of bleomycin was established based on the principle of bleomycin specific inhibition of C60-Cu-Bpy peroxidase-like activity, with satisfactory results in practical samples. This study provides a new strategy for the direct synthesis of Cu+-based nanozymes with high catalytic performance.

Abstract
The first coordination-saturated buckyball with a C60 molecule totally encased in an icosidodecahedral Cu30 in a (μ30 -(η2 )30 )-fashion, namely C60 @Cu30 @Cl36 N12 , has been successfully realized by a C60 -templated assembly. The 48 outmost coordinating atoms (36Cl+12N) comprise a new simple polyhedron that is described by a ccf topology. Charge transfer from (CuI , Cl) to C60 explains the expansion of the light absorption up to 700 nm, and accounts for an ultrafast photophysical process that underpins its high photothermal conversion efficiency. This work makes a giant step forward in exohedral metallofullerene (ExMF) chemistry.

Abstract
Hydrogen is currently considered as the best alternative for traditional fuels due to its sustainable and ecofriendly nature. Additionally, hydrogen dissociation is a critical step in almost all hydrogenation reactions, which is crucial in industrial chemical production. A cost-effective and efficient catalyst with favorable activity for this step is highly desirable. Herein, transition-metal-doped fullerene (TM@C60) complexes are designed and investigated as single-atom catalysts for the hydrogen splitting process. Interaction energy analysis (Eint) is also carried out to demonstrate the stability of designed TM@C60 metallofullerenes, which reveals that all the designed complexes have higher thermodynamic stability. Furthermore, among all the studied metallofullerenes, the best catalytic efficiency for hydrogen dissociation is seen for the Sc@C60 catalyst Ea = 0.13 eV followed by the V@C60 catalyst Ea = 0.19 eV. The hydrogen activation and dissociation processes over TM@C60 metallofullerenes is further elaborated by analyzing charge transfer via the natural bond orbital and electron density difference analyses. Additionally, quantum theory of atoms in molecule analysis is carried out to investigate the nature of interatomic interactions between hydrogen molecules and TMs@C60 metallofullerenes. Overall, results of the current study declare that the Sc@C60 catalyst can act as a low cost, highly efficient, and noble metal-free single-atom catalyst to efficiently catalyze hydrogen dissociation reaction.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is one of the most studied and promising processes for hydrogen fuel generation. Single-atom catalysts have been shown to exhibit ultra-high HER catalytic activity, but the harsh preparation conditions and the low single-atom loading hinder their practical applications. Furthermore, promoting hydrogen evolution reaction kinetics, especially in alkaline electrolytes, remains as an important challenge. Herein, Pt/C60 catalysts with high-loading, high-dispersion single-atomic platinum anchored on C60 are achieved through a room-temperature synthetic strategy. Pt/C60-2 exhibits high HER catalytic performance with a low overpotential (η10) of 25 mV at 10 mA cm-2. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Pt-C60 polymeric structures in Pt/C60-2 favors water adsorption, and the shell-like charge redistribution around the Pt-bonding region induced by the curved surfaces of two adjacent C60 facilitates the desorption of hydrogen, thus favoring fast reaction kinetics for hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
A neutral polyhydrido copper cluster, [Cu27H15{S2CNnBu2}12] (abbreviated as [Cu27H15]), was prepared by the reaction of dithiocarbamates (dtc), Cu(I) salts and NaBH4. The isolated cluster provides insights into core engineering, demonstrating its novel ability to reversibly add or remove one copper atom from the cluster core. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the new core-shell structure exhibits a Cu24 rhombicuboctahedral outer cage and an inner Cu3 triangular kernel. The two core-shell clusters, [Cu27H15{S2CNnBu2}12] and previously published [Cu28H15(S2CNnBu2)12]+ (abbreviated as [Cu28H15]+), are only differentiated by one copper atom in their inner core. Importantly, we demonstrate core engineering with the controllable reversible transition between an irregular Cu4 tetrahedron and a Cu3 triangle, whilst maintaining their outer Cu24 shell intact. The 15 hydride atoms in [Cu27H15], coordinated in three different modes, are co-incident with the hydride positions in [Cu28H15]+. The degradation of [Cu27H15] in solution or the addition of one eq. of Cu(I) ions leads to the conversion of [Cu27H15] into [Cu28H15]+, while the reverse transformation can be achieved by the addition of either formic acid or a reducing agent to [Cu28H15]+. A dicationic species was observed in the ESI mass spectrum, and the composition is formulated as [Cu56H30(S2CNnBu2)24]2+, a dimer of [Cu27H15(S2CNnBu2)12 + Cu+]22+. The dimeric species was further explored by DFT calculations, suggesting that the lowest energy structure consists of a [Cu28H15]+ and a [Cu27H15] cluster connected through one Cu+ atom bridge. As a result, [Cu27H15] is considered an intermediate species in the formation of the more stable [Cu28H15]+ nanoball.

Abstract
Metal-organic polyhedra featuring non-Archimedean/Platonic architectures with multiple kinds of vertices have aroused great attention for their fascinating structures and properties but are yet challenging to achieve. Here, we report a combinatorial strategy to make such nonclassic polyhedral cages by combining kinetically labile metal ions with non-planar organic linkers instead of the usual only inert metal centers and planar ligands. This facilitates the synthesis of an enantiopure twisted tetra(3-pyridyl)-based TADDOL (TADDOL = tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanol) ligand (L) capable of binding Ni(II) ions to produce a regular convex cage, Ni6L8, with two mixed metal/organic vertices and three rarely reported concave cages Ni14L8, Ni18L12, and Ni24L16 with three or four mixed vertices. Each of the cages has an amphiphilic cavity decorated with chiral dihydroxyl functionalities and packs into a three-dimensional structure. The enantioselective adsorption and separation performances of the cages are strongly dependent on their pore structure features. Particularly, Ni14L8 and Ni18L12 with wide openings can be solid adsorbents for the adsorptive and solid-phase extractive separation of a variety of racemic spirodiols with up to 98% ee, whereas Ni6L8 and Ni24L16 with smaller pore apertures cannot adsorb the racemates. The combination of single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the host-guest adduct and GCMC simulation indicates that the enantiospecific recognition capabilities originate from the well-organized chiral inner sphere as well as multiple interactions within the chiral microenvironment. This work therefore provides an attractive strategy for the rational design of polyhedral cages, showing geometrically fascinating structures with properties different from those of classic assemblies.

Abstract
Bulk chemicals such as ethylene glycol (EG) can be industrially synthesized from either ethylene or syngas, but the latter undergoes a bottleneck reaction and requires high hydrogen pressures. We show that fullerene (exemplified by C60) can act as an electron buffer for a copper-silica catalyst (Cu/SiO2). Hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate over a C60-Cu/SiO2 catalyst at ambient pressure and temperatures of 180° to 190°C had an EG yield of up to 98 ± 1%. In a kilogram-scale reaction, no deactivation of the catalyst was seen after 1000 hours. This mild route for the final step toward EG can be combined with the already-industrialized ambient reaction from syngas to the intermediate of dimethyl oxalate.

Diversity of Metal—Fullerene Framework Structures Regulated by Metal Salts. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12081314. [PMID: 35458024 PMCID: PMC9025373 DOI: 10.3390/nano12081314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Taking into account the diversity of fullerene ligands and metal salts, metal–fullerene frameworks (MFFs) present a variety of structures. Currently, the structural control of MFFs mainly relies on the design and synthesis of fullerene ligands, while the influence of metal building units on the structures has been rarely studied. The present work represents a systematical investigation of fullerene-linked supramolecular architectures incorporating different metal salts. Treatment of a bidentate N,N-donors fullerene ligand (L1) with six metal salts ([Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, Cu(OAc)2·H2O, FeCl2·4H2O and FeCl3·6H2O]) produced six one-dimensional MFFs, i.e., ZnL1(NO3)2(H2O)2 (1), CdL1(NO3)2 (2), Cu(L1)(H2O)2(NO3)2 (3), CuL1(OAc)(CH3O) (4), FeL1Cl2 (5) and FeL1Cl2(FeCl4) (6). Compounds 1–3, built with nitrates with different metal centers (M(NO3)2, M = Zn, Cd, Cu), present a 1D stair-like, 1D zigzag, and 1D linear chain structure, respectively. Compound 4, synthesized with another Cu(II) salt, Cu(OAc)2, displays a dinuclear Cu-Cu connected 1D stair-like chain structure, rather than the single Cu linked 1D linear chain obtained from Cu(NO3)2. Compounds 5 and 6, assembled from iron chloride of different oxidation states (Fe(II)Cl2 and Fe(III)Cl3) reveal a 1D zigzag and a 1D stair-like chain structure, respectively. The results demonstrate the significant influences of metal salts on the structures of metal–fullerene frameworks.

Abstract
Herein, we report the stepwise assembly and reversible transformation of atomically precise ligated titanium coated bismuth-oxide core nanostructures. The soluble and stable Bi38O45@Ti6-oxo clusters with weakly coordinated surface salicylate ligands were first prepared as precursors. Owing to the high surface reactivity of the Bi38O45 inner core, its shell composition and morphology could be systemically modified by assembly with various Ti ions and auxiliary ligands (L), especially those with different flexibility, bridging ability and steric hindrance. As a result, a series of new core-shell Bi38O44/45@Ti x L-oxo (x = 14, 16, 18 or 20) clusters containing gradually increasing shell Ti atoms were successfully synthesized. Among them, the Bi38Ti20-oxo cluster is the largest one in the family of heterometallic Bi/Ti-oxo clusters to date. In addition, the sensitized titanium outer shell can effectively improve the photocurrent response under visible light irradiation. More remarkably, the obtained core-shell Bi38O44/45@Ti x L-oxo clusters can serve as stable and efficient catalysts for CO2 cycloaddition with epoxides under ambient conditions, whose activity was significantly influenced by the outer ligated titanium shell structure. This work provides a new insight into the construction of atomically precise heterometallic core-shell nanostructures and also an interesting shell engineering strategy for tuning their physicochemical properties.

Abstract
Emulsion poses a greater challenge for the remediation of oily wastewater, which can be effectively resolved by the metal-organic framework of MIL-100(Fe). The formula Fe3O(H2O)2(OH) (BTC)2 pronounces that MIL-100(Fe) suffers from an intrinsic defect of less charged atoms, which limits its demulsification performance for oil-water separation. Herein, cations of the ionic liquid (1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium, Amim+) were encapsulated in the micropore of MIL-100(Fe) in situ to increase the positive charge density of MIL-100(Fe). Zeta potential demonstrated that the encapsulation of Amim+ increased the positive charge amount of MIL-100(Fe). N2 probe isothermal adsorption/desorption and spectral measurements (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy, and attenuated total-reflectance infrared spectroscopy) revealed the host-guest interactions of π···Fe complexation and π···cation electrostatic attraction between Amim+ and MIL-100(Fe) for the composite materials. Amim+ encapsulation greatly enhanced the demulsification performance of MIL-100(Fe) for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion stabilized by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Amim+-encapsulated MIL-100(Fe) with an Amim+/Fe3+ molar ratio of 1:1 [Amim@MIL-100(Fe)-3:3] showed a demulsification efficiency (DE) of 94% within 30 s, compared with MIL-100(Fe) within 30 min. The maximum DE of Amim@MIL-100(Fe)-3:3 was found to be more than 98% within 5 min. The DE lost by MIL-100(Fe) at the third run decreased from 36 to 17% after encapsulating Amim+. The analysis of surface charge and interfacial tension implied a demulsification mechanism of capturing-fusion, which could be promoted by the greater electrostatic attraction. Finally, the role of Amim+ on the outstanding demulsification performance by Amim+-encapsulated MIL-100(Fe) could be explained by the enhanced nonbonded interaction of electrostatic attraction and van der Waals based on the molecular dynamics simulation.

Abstract
Nowadays, although the exploration of proton conductive materials has ranged from traditional sulfonated polymers to novel crystalline solid materials such as MOFs, COFs, and HOFs, research on crystalline cluster-based organic framework materials is very limited. Here, a pair of homologues Cu(i)-based organic framework containing a Cu12S6 cluster, [Cu12(MES)6(H2O)3]n (1) and {[Cu12(MPS)6(H2O)4]·6H2O}n (2) (H2MES = 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate acid and H2MPS = 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate acid), were hydrothermally synthesized under the same conditions and fully investigated for their proton conduction. Their structures were characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analyses, and PXRD measurements. The two MOFs show significant structural differences in the topological fashions. MOF 1 has a three-dimensional network and can be simplified into two topology types: a 10-connected gpu structure with a Schläfli symbol (312·426·57) and a 3,12-connected new topology with a point symbol {3·42}2{310·418·519·614·74·9}. MOF 2 also has a three-dimensional framework and topology as a 6-connected pcu primitive cubic network with a Schläfli symbol {412·63}. The two MOFs show different proton conduction parameters, but both indicate temperature-dependent proton conductive features. Intriguingly, the two MOFs exhibit high water stability and their proton conductivities are 3.63 × 10-5 and 2.75 × 10-5 S cm-1 under 333 K and 98% RH, respectively. The suggested mechanism for the synthesis for 1 and 2, and their proton conductivity performance comparison has been discussed in detail. In addition, Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint analysis on the two MOFs were computed to compare contacts between the molecules, which is essential for analyzing the relationships between their hydrogen bonds and proton conductivity properties.

Abstract
Combinations of fullerene and metal oxides (MOx) are interesting, not only because they display the individual properties of fullerene and of MOx nanoparticles, but they may also exhibit synergetic properties that are advantageous for gas sensing applications. In the present work, the adsorption of some different MOxs on fullerene C60, and also the NO2 and CO sensing properties of these complexes, have been theoretically studied. All quantum mechanical computations have been carried out using Gaussian G09, employing the DFT method at the B97D/6-311G(d,p) level. NBO theory has been used for analysis of the charge transfers during gas adsorption. The chemical nature of the newly formed bonds in the studied complexes and their relative strength have been analysed using AIM2000 software. The results show that MOx/C60 complexes are much stronger adsorbents for NO2 and CO than C60 is. It is also expected that these complexes have more optical and electrical sensitivity in the selectivity towards gases, including NO2 and CO. Combinations of C60 and metal oxides (MOx) are interesting, not only because they display the individual properties of C60 and of MOx nanoparticles, but they may also exhibit synergetic properties that are advantageous for gas sensing applications.![]()
