A Direct Route to closo-SBnCln Thiaboranes: Chalcogen Bonding in SB5Cl5 vs. SB11Cl11 Crystals

Polyhedral boron chemistry exhibits various heteroatom substitution and a series of  heteroboranes thus being afforded Furthermore, the introduction of halogens instead of terminal hydrogens  enables the synthesis of small perhalogenated heteroboranes, stabilized through π back-donation. In this research, SB5Cl5 and SB9Cl9 clusters were prepared by co-pyrolysis of B2Cl4 with S2Cl2 at 280 °C in a […]

Zr-based MOFs: relation between linkers connectivity, stability, and catalytic activity

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely researched but applied only in few commercial processes among others due to unknown stability. This study evaluates the stability of four zirconium-based MOFs with different linkers in water at pH 3.0 to 11.0. Results indicate that MOFs with tetratopic linkers (PCN-222, MIP-200) are more stable than those with ditopic or […]
