Abstract
Microporous materials have attracted a rapid growth of research interest in materials science and the multidisciplinary area because of their wide applications in catalysis, separation, ion exchange, gas storage, drug release, and sensing. A fundamental understanding of their diverse structures and properties is crucial for rational design of high-performance materials and technological applications in industry. Solid-state NMR (SSNMR), capable of providing atomic-level information on both structure and dynamics, is a powerful tool in the scientific exploration of solid materials. Here, advanced SSNMR instruments and methods for characterization of microporous materials are briefly described. The recent progress of the application of SSNMR for the investigation of microporous materials including zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, porous aromatic frameworks, and layered materials is discussed with representative work. The versatile SSNMR techniques provide detailed information on the local structure, dynamics, and chemical processes in the confined space of porous materials. The challenges and prospects in SSNMR study of microporous and related materials are discussed.

Abstract
Atomically thin boron nitride (BN) nanosheets were generally considered to be chemically inert until the recent discovery of the surprising catalysis. However, the origin of this unusual catalytic activity remains unclear. We have observed the free boron radicals at the edges and defective sites of BN nanosheets and demonstrated with both experimental and theoretical approaches that the boron radicals in the nanosheets can catalyze the chromogenic reaction of 3,5,3',5'-tetramethylbenzidine and serve as a source of reactive radicals for the co-reactant electrogenerated chemiluminescence of tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(2+). These findings suggest BN nanosheets as a type of nonmetal catalyst.

Modeling short-range substitution order and disorder in crystals: Application to the Ga/Si distribution in a natrolite zeolite. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2017; 84:182-195.

Abstract
Atomic substitutions are a central feature of the physicochemical properties of an increasing number of solid-state materials. The complexity that this chemical disorder locally generates in otherwise crystalline solids poses a major challenge to the understanding of the relationships between the structure and properties of materials at the atomic and molecular level. Strategies designed to efficiently explore the ensemble of local chemical environments present in disordered crystals and predict their signatures in local spectroscopies such as solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are therefore essential. Focusing on the Ga/Si disorder in the framework of rubidium-exchanged gallosilicate natrolite zeolite (Rb-PST-1) with a high Ga content (SiGa=1.28), we show how the structure-generation approach implemented in the new program supercell (Okhotnikov et al. [26]) provides an excellent basis for the understanding of complex experimental spectroscopic data. Furthermore, we describe how exhaustive explorations of atomic configurations can be performed to seek local structural ordering and/or disordering factors. In the case of Rb-PST-1, we more specifically explore the possibility to form and to detect the presence of thermodynamically unfavorable Ga-O-Ga connectivities. While particularly adapted to the description of dense materials, we demonstrate that this approach may successfully be used to reproduce and interpret the distributions of local structural distortions (i.e., the geometrical disorder) resulting from the chemical disorder in systems as complex as microporous zeolites.

Abstract
Structure determination of layered materials can present challenges for conventional diffraction methods due to the fact that such materials often lack full three-dimensional periodicity since adjacent layers may not stack in an orderly and regular fashion. In such cases, NMR crystallography strategies involving a combination of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, and computational chemistry methods can often reveal structural details that cannot be acquired from diffraction alone. We present here the structure determination of a surfactant-templated layered silicate material that lacks full three-dimensional crystallinity using such an NMR crystallography approach. Through a combination of powder X-ray diffraction and advanced 29Si solid-state NMR spectroscopy, it is revealed that the structure of the silicate layer of this layered silicate material templated with cetyltrimethylammonium surfactant cations is isostructural with the silicate layer of a previously reported material referred to as ilerite, octosilicate, or RUB-18. High-field 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals differences between the materials in terms of the ordering of silanol groups on the surfaces of the layers, as well as the contents of the inter-layer space.

Abstract
Background Disordered compounds are crucially important for fundamental science and industrial applications. Yet most available methods to explore solid-state material properties require ideal periodicity, which, strictly speaking, does not exist in this type of materials. The supercell approximation is a way to imply periodicity to disordered systems while preserving “disordered” properties at the local level. Although this approach is very common, most of the reported research still uses supercells that are constructed “by hand” and ad-hoc. Results This paper describes a software named supercell, which has been designed to facilitate the construction of structural models for the description of vacancy or substitution defects in otherwise periodically-ordered (crystalline) materials. The presented software allows to apply the supercell approximation systematically with an all-in-one implementation of algorithms for structure manipulation, supercell generation, permutations of atoms and vacancies, charge balancing, detecting symmetry-equivalent structures, Coulomb energy calculations and sampling output configurations. The mathematical and physical backgrounds of the program are presented, along with an explanation of the main algorithms and relevant technical details of their implementation. Practical applications of the program to different types of solid-state materials are given to illustrate some of its potential fields of application. Comparisons of the various algorithms implemented within supercell with similar solutions are presented where possible. Conclusions The all-in-one approach to process point disordered structures, powerful command line interface, excellent performance, flexibility and GNU GPL license make the supercell program a versatile set of tools for disordered structures manipulations.
