A three-dimensional (3D) nanoporous coordination polymer, [Pb(4-bpdb)(μ-NO3)(μ-SCN)]n·1.5CH3OH (TMU-15), was synthesized. In this compound, we successfully loaded the porous crystals with I2 by suspending them in a solution of I2 in cyclohexane.

Chitosan scaffolds based on blending polymers are a common strategy used in tissue engineering. The objective of this study was evaluation the properties of scaffolds based on a ternary blend of chitosan (Chi), gelatin (Ge), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) (Chi/Ge/PVA), which were prepared by cycles of freeze-thawing and freeze-drying. It then was used for three-dimensional BRIN-BD11 beta-cells culturing. Weight ratios of Chi/Ge/PVA (1:1:1, 2:2:1, 2:3:1, and 3:2:1) were proposed and porosity, pore size, degradation, swelling rate, compressive strength, and cell viability analyzed. All ternary blend scaffolds structures are highly porous (with a porosity higher than 80%) and interconnected. The pore size distribution varied from 0.6 to 265 μm. Ternary blends scaffolds had controllable degradation rates compared to binary blend scaffolds, and an improved swelling capacity of the samples with increasing chitosan concentration was found. An increase in Young’s modulus and compressive strength was observed with increasing gelatin concentration. The highest compressive strength reached 101.6 Pa. The MTT assay showed that the ternary blends scaffolds P3 and P4 supported cell viability better than the binary blend scaffold. Therefore, these results illustrated that ternary blends scaffolds P3 and P4 could provide a better environment for BRIN-BD11 cell proliferation.

The porous characteristics of disordered carbons are critical factors to their performance on hydrogen storage and electrochemical capacitors. Even though the porous information can be estimated indirectly by gas adsorption experiments, it is still hard to directly characterize the porous morphology considering the complex 3D connectivity. To this end, we construct full-atom disordered graphene networks (DGNs) by mimicking the chlorination process of carbide-derived carbons using annealing-MD simulations, which could model the structure of disordered carbons at the atomic scale. The porous characteristics, including pore volume, pore size distribution (PSD), and specific surface area (SSA), were then computed from the coordinates of carbon atoms. From the evolution of structural features, pores grow dramatically during the formation of polyaromatic fragments and sequent disordered framework. Then structure is further graphitized while the PSD shows little change. For the obtained DGNs, the porosity, pore size, and SSA increase with decreasing density. Furthermore, SSA tends to saturate in the low-density range. The DGNs annealed at low temperatures exhibit larger SSA than high-temperature DGNs because of the abundant free edges.

The three-dimensional [Co3(OH)2(H2O)2(aptet)4] exhibits magnetic properties consistent with a ferrimagnetic chain with the non-compensating resultant moment of one Co(ii) per trinuclear Co(ii) subunit and ac magnetic susceptibility indicative of glassy-like magnetic behavior.

In poly[[μ3-2,2′-(disulfanediyl)dibenzoato-κ5 O:O,O′:O′′,O′′′](1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)cadmium(II)], [Cd(C14H8O4S2)(C12H8N2)] n , the asymmetric unit contains one CdII cation, one 2,2′-(disulfanediyl)dibenzoate anion (denoted dtdb2−) and one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand (denoted phen). Each CdII centre is seven-coordinated by five O atoms of bridging/chelating carboxylate groups from three dtdb2− ligands and by two N atoms from one phen ligand, forming a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. The CdII cations are bridged by dtdb2− anions to give a two-dimensional (4,4) layer. The layers are stacked to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture via a combination of aromatic C—H...π and π–π interactions. The thermogravimetric and luminescence properties of this compound were also investigated.
