    Abstract Antiferromagnetic van der Waals‐typeM2P2X6compounds provide a versatile material platform for studying 2D magnetism and relevant phenomena. Establishing ferromagnetism in 2D materials is technologically valuable. Though magnetism is generally tunable via a chemical way, it is challenging to induce ferromagnetism with isovalent chalcogen and bimetallic substitutions inM2P2X6. Here, we report co‐substitution of Cu1+and Cr3+for Ni2+in Ni2P2S6, creating CuxNi2(1‐x)CrxP2S6medium‐entropy alloys spanning a full substitution range (x= 0 to 1). Such substitution strategy leads to a unique evolution in crystal structure and magnetic phases that are distinct from traditional isovalent bimetallic doping, with Cu and Cr co‐substitution enhancing ferromagnetic correlations and generating a weak ferromagnetic phase in intermediate compositions. This aliovalent substitution strategy offers a universal approach for tuning layered magnetism in antiferromagnetic systems, which along with the potential for light‐matter interaction and high‐temperature ferroelectricity, can enable multifunctional device applications.

    Abstract Self‐sustaining photocatalytic NO3−reduction systems could become ideal NO3−removal methods. Developing an efficient, highly active photocatalyst is the key to the photocatalytic reduction of NO3−. In this work, we present the synthesis of Ni2P‐modified Ta3N5(Ni2P/Ta3N5), TaON (Ni2P/TaON), and TiO2(Ni2P/TiO2). Starting with a 2 mM (28 g/mL NO3−−N) aqueous solution of NO3−, as made Ni2P/Ta3N5and Ni2P/TaON display as high as 79% and 61% NO3−conversion under 419 nm light within 12 h, which correspond to reaction rates per gram of 196 μmol g−1 h−1and 153 μmol g−1 h−1, respectively, and apparent quantum yields of 3–4%. Compared to 24% NO3−conversion in Ni2P/TiO2, Ni2P/Ta3N5and Ni2P/TaON exhibit higher activities due to the visible light active semiconductor (SC) substrates Ta3N5and TaON. We also discuss two possible electron migration pathways in Ni2P/semiconductor heterostructures. Our experimental results suggest one dominant electron migration pathway in these materials, namely: Photo‐generated electrons migrate from the semiconductor to co‐catalyst Ni2P, and upshift its Fermi level. The higher Fermi level provides greater driving force and allows NO3−reduction to occur on the Ni2P surface.

    Abstract Coordination complexes of general formulatrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] (MII=Ti, V, Cr, Mn; E=N or P; R=alkyl or aryl) are a cornerstone of coordination and organometallic chemistry. We investigate the electronic properties of two such complexes,trans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2], which thus representtrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] where M=V, X=Cl, R=Me and E=N (tmeda) and P (dmpe). These VIIcomplexes haveS=3/2 ground states, as expected for octahedral d3. Their tetragonal distortion leads to zero‐field splitting (zfs) that is modest in magnitude (D≈0.3 cm−1) relative to analogousS=1 TiIIand CrIIcomplexes. This parameter was determined from conventional EPR spectroscopy, but more effectively from high‐frequency and ‐field EPR (HFEPR) that determined the sign ofDas negative for the diamine complex, but positive for the diphosphine, which information had not been known for anytrans‐[VX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] systems. The ligand‐field parameters oftrans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2] are obtained using both classical theory andab initioquantum chemical theory. The results shed light not only on the electronic structure of VIIin this environment, but also on differences between N and P donor ligands, a key comparison in coordination chemistry.

    Abstract We report the facile and efficient synthesis of common electrophilic haloboranes via a protonolysis reaction between Piers’ borane, HB(C6F5)2, and H−X (X=Cl, Br). This route benefits from fast reaction times, easy setup, and minimal workup to yield the analytically pure etherates, (C6F5)2BCl(OEt2) (1) and (C6F5)2BBr(OEt2) (2), as well as the ether‐free tri‐coordinate species, (C6F5)2BBr (3).
