The structures of a series of 2:1 cocrystals formed between 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine and each of 1,2,4,5-tetrachloro-3,6-diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Cl4I2, 1,2,4,5-tetrabromo-3,6-diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Br4I2, 1-bromo-4-iodo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6BrF4I, and 1,2-dibromo-4,5-difluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Br2F2I2, are reported. In all five structures, the core halogen-bonded 2:1 trimolecular units have geometrically similar parameters, with the central halogen-bond donor flanked by two pyridine halogen-bond acceptors twisted with respect to the central halogen-bond donor at angles ranging from 76 to 86°. The I...N halogen-bond separations are all short, ranging from 73.3 to 76.7% of the sum of the van der Waals radii, while the C—I...N bond angles are essentially linear. The Br...N halogen-bond separation in the cocrystal formed with 1-bromo-4-iodo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene is 80.4% of the sum of the van der Waals radii. Subtle differences in the crystal packings are attributed to the role of secondary C—H...π and weak π-type interactions with chloro and bromo substituents. The cocrystals 2C7H10N2·C6Cl4I2and 2C7H10N2·C6Br4I2are isomorphous.

Abstract Three new polynuclear clusters with the formulae [Mn10O4(OH)(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}2{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}4(MeCO2)6](ClO4)2(
1 ), Na[Mn12O2(OH)3(OMe){(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OH)(O)}2(MeCO2)2(H2O)10](ClO4)8(2 ) and [Mn12O4(OH)2{(py)2C(O)2}6{(py)2C(OMe)(O)}(MeCO2)3(NO3)3(H2O)(DMF)2](NO3)2(3 ) were prepared from the combination of di‐2‐pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, with the aliphatic diols (1,3‐propanediol (pdH2) or 1,4‐butanediol (1,4‐bdH2)) in Mn carboxylate chemistry. The reported compounds do not include the aliphatic diols employed in this reaction scheme; however, their use is essential for the formation of1 –3 . The crystal structures of1 –3 are based on multilayer cores which, to our knowledge, are reported for the first time in Mn cluster chemistry. Direct current (dc ) magnetic susceptibility studies showed the presence of dominant antiferromagnetic exchange interactions within1 –3 . Alternating current (ac ) magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of out‐of‐phase signals below 3.0 K for2 and3 indicating the slow relaxation of the magnetization vector, characteristic of single‐molecule magnets; theUeff value of2 was found to be 23 K and the preexponential factorτ0 ~7.6×10−9 s. -
Abstract Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) has excellent directional optical and electronic behaviors due to its quasi‐1D nanoribbons structure. The photovoltaic performance of Sb2Se3solar cells largely depends on the orientation of the nanoribbons. It is desired to grow these Sb2Se3ribbons normal to the substrate to enhance photoexcited carrier transport. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a strategy for the vertical growth of Sb2Se3nanoribbons to achieve high‐efficiency solar cells. Since antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) and Sb2Se3are from the same space group (Pbnm) and have the same crystal structure, herein an ultrathin layer (≈20 nm) of Sb2S3has been used to assist the vertical growth of Sb2Se3nanoribbons to improve the overall efficiency of Sb2Se3solar cell. The Sb2S3thin layer deposited by the hydrothermal process helps the Sb2Se3ribbons grow normal to the substrate and increases the efficiency from 5.65% to 7.44% through the improvement of all solar cell parameters. This work is expected to open a new direction to tailor the Sb2Se3grain growth and further develop the Sb2Se3solar cell in the future.

Abstract Understanding interfacial reactions that occur between the active layer and charge‐transport layers can extend the stability of perovskite solar cells. In this study, the exposure of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) thin films prepared on poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)‐coated glass to 70% relative humidity (R.H.) leads to a perovskite crystal structure change from tetragonal to cubic within 2 days. Interface‐sensitive photoluminescence measurements indicate that the structural change originates at the PEDOT:PSS/perovskite interface. During exposure to 30% R.H., the same structural change occurs over a much longer time scale (>200 days), and a reflection consistent with the presence of (CH3)2NH2PbI3is detected to coexist with the cubic phase by X‐ray diffraction pattern. The authors propose that chemical interactions at the PEDOT:PSS/perovskite interface, facilitated by humidity, promote the formation of dimethylammonium, (CH3)2NH2+. The partial A‐site substitution of CH3NH3+for (CH3)2NH2+to produce a cubic (CH3NH3)1−
x [(CH3)2NH2]x PbI3phase explains the structural change from tetragonal to cubic during short‐term humidity exposure. When (CH3)2NH2+content exceeds its solubility limit in the perovskite during longer humidity exposures, a (CH3)2NH2+‐rich, hexagonal phase of (CH3NH3)1−x [(CH3)2NH2]x PbI3emerges. These interfacial interactions may have consequences for device stability and performance beyond CH3NH3PbI3model systems and merit close attention from the perovskite research community. -
Abstract Herein, we report on the synthesis of ultrasmall Pd nanoclusters (∼2 nm) protected by L‐cysteine [HOCOCH(NH2)CH2SH] ligands (Pdn(L‐Cys)m) and supported on the surfaces of CeO2, TiO2, Fe3O4, and ZnO nanoparticles for CO catalytic oxidation. The Pdn(L‐Cys)mnanoclusters supported on the reducible metal oxides CeO2, TiO2and Fe3O4exhibit a remarkable catalytic activity towards CO oxidation, significantly higher than the reported Pd nanoparticle catalysts. The high catalytic activity of the ligand‐protected clusters Pdn(L‐Cys)mis observed on the three reducible oxides where 100 % CO conversion occurs at 93–110 °C. The high activity is attributed to the ligand‐protected Pd nanoclusters where the L‐cysteine ligands aid in achieving monodispersity of the Pd clusters by limiting the cluster size to the active sub‐2‐nm region and decreasing the tendency of the clusters for agglomeration. In the case of the ceria support, a complete removal of the L‐cysteine ligands results in connected agglomerated Pd clusters which are less reactive than the ligand‐protected clusters. However, for the TiO2and Fe3O4supports, complete removal of the ligands from the Pdn(L‐Cys)mclusters leads to a slight decrease in activity where the T100%CO conversion occurs at 99 °C and 107 °C, respectively. The high porosity of the TiO2and Fe3O4supports appears to aid in efficient encapsulation of the bare Pdnnanoclusters within the mesoporous pores of the support.
