Traditional MOF e‐CRR, constructed from catalytic linkers, manifest a kinetic bottleneck during their multi‐electron activation. Decoupling catalysis and charge transport can address such issues. Here, we build two MOF/e‐CRR systems, CoPc@NU‐1000 and TPP(Co)@NU‐1000, by installing cobalt metalated phthalocyanine and tetraphenylporphyrin electrocatalysts within the redox active NU‐1000 MOF. For CoPc@NU‐1000, the e‐CRR responsive CoI/0potential is close to that of NU‐1000 reduction compared to the TPP(Co)@NU‐1000. Efficient charge delivery, defined by a higher diffusion (

Abstract D hop=4.1×10−12 cm2 s−1) and low charge‐transport resistance (=59.5 Ω) in CoPC@NU‐1000 led FECO=80 %. In contrast, TPP(Co)@NU‐1000 fared a poor FECO=24 % ( D hop=1.4×10−12 cm2 s−1and=91.4 Ω). For such a decoupling strategy, careful choice of the host framework is critical in pairing up with the underlying electrochemical properties of the catalysts to facilitate the charge delivery for its activation. -

Abstract High quantum yield triplets, populated by initially prepared excited singlets, are desired for various energy conversion schemes in solid working compositions like porous MOFs. However, a large disparity in the distribution of the excitonic center of mass, singlet‐triplet intersystem crossing (ISC) in such assemblies is inhibited, so much so that a carboxy‐coordinated zirconium heavy metal ion cannot effectively facilitate the ISC through spin‐orbit coupling. Circumventing this sluggish ISC, singlet fission (SF) is explored as a viable route to generating triplets in solution‐stable MOFs. Efficient SF is achieved through a high degree of interchromophoric coupling that facilitates electron super‐exchange to generate triplet pairs. Here we show that a predesigned chromophoric linker with extremely poor ISC efficiency (
k ISC) butform triplets in MOF in contrast to the frameworks that are built from linkers with sizable k ISCbut. This work opens a new photophysical and photochemical avenue in MOF chemistry and utility in energy conversion schemes. -

Abstract There has been a great deal of recent interest in extended compounds containing Ru3+and Ru4+in light of their range of unusual physical properties. Many of these properties are displayed in compounds with the perovskite and related structures. Here we report an array of structurally diverse hybrid ruthenium halide perovskites and related compounds: MA2Ru
X 6(X =Cl or Br), MA2M RuX6(M =Na, K or Ag;X =Cl or Br) and MA3Ru2X 9(X =Br) based upon the use of methylammonium (MA=CH3NH3+) on the perovskite A site. The compounds MA2RuX 6with Ru4+crystallize in the trigonal space groupand can be described as vacancy‐ordered double‐perovskites. The ordered compounds MA2 M RuX 6with M+and Ru3+crystallize in a structure related to BaNiO3with alternatingMX 6and RuX 6face‐shared octahedra forming linear chains in the trigonalspace group. The compound MA3Ru2Br9crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group and displays pairs of face‐sharing octahedra forming isolated Ru2Br9moieties with very short Ru–Ru contacts of 2.789 Å. The structural details, including the role of hydrogen bonding and dimensionality, as well as the optical and magnetic properties of these compounds are described. The magnetic behavior of all three classes of compounds is influenced by spin–orbit coupling and their temperature‐dependent behavior has been compared with the predictions of the appropriate Kotani models. -

Abstract N‐Type thermoelectrics typically consist of small molecule dopant+polymer host. Only a few polymer dopant+polymer host systems have been reported, and these have lower thermoelectric parameters. N‐type polymers with high crystallinity and order are generally used for high‐conductivity (
) organic conductors. Few n‐type polymers with only short‐range lamellar stacking for high‐conductivity materials have been reported. Here, we describe an n‐type short‐range lamellar‐stacked all‐polymer thermoelectric system with highest of 78 S−1, power factor ( PF ) of 163 μW m−1 K−2, and maximum Figure of merit (ZT ) of 0.53 at room temperature with a dopant/host ratio of 75 wt%. The minor effect of polymer dopant on the molecular arrangement of conjugated polymer PDPIN at high ratios, high doping capability, high Seebeck coefficient (S ) absolute values relative to, and atypical decreased thermal conductivity ( ) with increased doping ratio contribute to the promising performance. -

Abstract Large eddy simulations are employed to investigate the role of tidal modulation strength on wake vortices and dissipation in flow past three‐dimensional topography, specifically a conical abyssal hill. The barotropic current is of the form
U c +U t sin(Ωt t ), whereU c andU t are the mean and oscillatory components, respectively, and Ωt is the tidal frequency. A regime with strong stratification and weak rotation is considered. The velocity ratioR =U t /U c is varied from 0 to 1. Simulation results show that the frequency of wake vortices reduces gradually with increasingR from its natural shedding frequency atR = 0 to Ωt /2 whenR ≥ 0.2. The ratio ofR and the excursion number, denoted as, controls the shift in the vortex frequency. When , vortices are trapped in the wake during tidal deceleration, extending the vortex shedding cycle to two tidal cycles. Elevated dissipation rates in the obstacle lee are observed in the lateral shear layer, hydraulic jet, and the near wake. The regions of strong dissipation are spatially intermittent, with values exceeding during the maximum‐velocity phase, where D is the base diameter of the hill. The maximum dissipation rate during the tidal cycle increases monotonically withR in the downstream wake. Additionally, the normalized area‐integrated dissipation rate in the hydraulic response region scales withR as (1 +R )4. Results show that the wake dissipation energetically dominates the internal wave flux in this class of low‐Froude number geophysical flows.
