Abstract
During recent decades, methylene-bridged macrocyclic arenes have been widely used in supramolecular chemistry. However, their π-conjugations are very weak, as the methylene bridges disrupt the electronic communication between π orbitals of the aromatic units. Herein, we successfully synthesized a series of silapillar[n]arenes (n = 4, 6, and 8) using silylene bridging. These showed enhanced electronic conjugation compared with the parent pillar[n]arenes because of σ*-π* conjugation between σ* (Si-C) orbitals and π* orbitals of the benzenes. Owing to the longer Si-C bond compared with the C-C bond, silylene-bridging provides additional structural flexibility into the pillar[n]arene scaffolds; a strained silapillar[4]arene was formed, which is unavailable in the parent pillar[n]arenes because of the steric requirements. Furthermore, silapillar[n]arenes displayed interesting size-dependent structural and optical properties.

Abstract
As an aprotic O-donor ligand, 4,4'-bipyridine N,N'-dioxide (DPO) shows good potential for the preparation of uranyl coordination compounds. In this work, by regulating reactant compositions and synthesis conditions, diverse coordination assembly between uranyl and DPO under different reaction conditions was achieved in the presence of other coexisting O-donors. A total of ten uranyl-DPO compounds, U-DPO-1 to U-DPO-10, have been synthesized by evaporation or hydro/solvothermal treatment, and the possible competition and cooperation of DPO with other O-donors for the formation of these uranyl-DPO compounds are discussed. Starting with an aqueous solution of uranyl nitrate, it is found that an anionic nitrate or hydroxyl group is involved in the coordination sphere of uranyl in U-DPO-1 ((UO2)(NO3)2(H2O)2·(DPO)), U-DPO-2 ((UO2)(NO3)2(DPO)), and U-DPO-3 ((UO2)(DPO)(μ2-OH)2), where DPO takes three different kinds of coordination modes, i.e. uncoordinated, monodentate, and biconnected. The utilization of UO2(CF3SO3)2 in acetonitrile, instead of an aqueous solution of uranyl nitrate, precludes the participation of nitrate and hydroxyl, and ensures the engagement of DPO ligands (4-5 DPO ligands for each uranyl) in a uranyl coordination sphere of U-DPO-4 ([(UO2)(CF3SO3)(DPO)2](CF3SO3)), U-DPO-5 ([UO2(H2O)(DPO)2](CF3SO3)2) and U-DPO-6 ([(UO2)(DPO)2.5](CF3SO3)2). Moreover, when combined with anionic carboxylate ligands, terephthalic acid (H2TPA), isophthalic acid (H2IPA), and succinic acid (H2SA), DPO works well with them to produce four mixed-ligand uranyl compounds with similar structures of two-dimensional (2D) networks or three-dimensional (3D) frameworks, U-DPO-7 ((UO2)(TPA)(DPO)), U-DPO-8 ((UO2)2(DPO)(IPA)2·0.5H2O), U-DPO-9 ((UO2)(SA)(DPO)·H2O), and U-DPO-10 ((UO2)2(μ2-OH)(SA)1.5(DPO)). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations conducted to probe the bonding features between uranyl ions and different O-donor ligands show that the bonding ability of DPO is better than that of anionic CF3SO3 -, nitrate, and a neutral H2O molecule and comparable to that of an anionic carboxylate group. Characterization of physicochemical properties of U-DPO-7 and U-DPO-10 with high phase purity including infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and luminescence properties is also provided.
