The rational design and synthesis of covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) from defined dicyano-aryl building blocks or their binary mixtures is of fundamental importance for a judicious tuning of the chemico-physical and morphological properties of this class of porous organic polymers. In fact, their gas adsorption capacity and their performance in a variety of catalytic transformations can be modulated through an appropriate selection of the building blocks. In this contribution, a set of five CTFs (CTF1–5) have been prepared under classical ionothermal conditions from single dicyano-aryl or heteroaryl systems. The as-prepared samples are highly micro-mesoporous and thermally stable materials featuring high specific surface area (up to 1860 m2·g−1) and N content (up to 29.1 wt %). All these features make them highly attractive samples for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) applications. Indeed, selected polymers from this series rank among the CTFs with the highest CO2 uptake at ambient pressure reported so far in the literature (up to 5.23 and 3.83 mmol·g−1 at 273 and 298 K, respectively). Moreover, following our recent achievements in the field of steam- and oxygen-free dehydrogenation catalysis using CTFs as metal-free catalysts, the new samples with highest N contents have been scrutinized in the process to provide additional insights to their complex structure–activity relationship.

It is well known that a minor addition of rare earth oxides can provide a beneficial effect towards various catalytic reactions. Use of rare earth oxide in different applications could improve commercial productivity in an affordable way. Among the rare earth oxides, ZrO2, La2O3 and CeO2 are very interesting due to their various characteristics showing a large range of applications in organic reactions. The changes in the molecular properties of materials at the nano scale level greatly enhance their physical properties as well as chemical properties and activity. Due to the extremely small size of the particles, an increased surface area is provided to the reactant enabling more molecules to react at the same time, thereby speeding up the process. In this work, the enhancement in the catalytic activity of these nano structured rare earth oxides has been studied under different reaction conditions. Nano crystalline ZrO2, La2O3 and CeO2 samples were synthesized using precipitation method and optimum reaction conditions have been established; whereas the corresponding bulk samples were synthesized by combustion method. The identification of phase and crystalline size of synthesized oxides have been done by X-ray diffraction, the band gape of these three oxides in both the forms has been analyzed by UV absorbance and surface area has been determined by gas adsorption analysis (BET). Moreover their different properties and the activity of nano crystallite oxides have also been compared with their bulk counterparts. Even the activity of ZrO2 is also compared with the rare earth oxides La2O3 and CeO2.

Rare-earth doped infrared emitting composites have extensive applications in integrated optical devices such as fibre amplifiers and waveguides for telecommunications, remote sensing, and optoelectronics. In addition, recent advancements in infrared optical imaging systems have expanded the biomedical applications for infrared-emitting composites in diagnosis and imaging of living tissue systems both in vitro and in vivo. Composite systems combine the advantages of polymers (light weight, flexibility, good impact resistance, improved biomedical compatibility, and excellent processability) and inorganic phosphor host materials (low phonon energy, intense emissions, chemical durability, and high thermal stability). This paper provides a brief review of our research progress in the design and synthesis of luminescent photonic nanocomposite systems comprised of rare-earth doped particulates dispersed in a continuous polymeric matrix. The design of brightly-emitting rare-earth doped materials and the influence of host and dopant chemistries on the emission properties are discussed. Methods used to assess and measure the phosphors’ performance are also evaluated in this work. This paper will also examine the solvothermal synthesis method used to control the physical and chemical characteristics of the rare-earth doped particles, and how these characteristics impact the infrared optical properties. Also presented here are recent advances reported with luminescent nanocomposite systems fabricated for optical waveguides and biomedical imaging.

The design and synthesis of new metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is important from both a fundamental and application standpoint. In this work, a novel, highly‐connected rare‐earth (RE) MOF with shp topology is reported, named RE‐CU‐10 (RE = rare‐earth, CU = Concordia University), comprised of nonanuclear RE(III)‐cluster nodes and tetratopic pyrene‐based linkers. This represents the first time that the 1,3,6,8‐tetrakis(p‐benzoic acid)pyrene (H4TBAPy) linker is integrated in the shp topology. Y‐CU‐10 was explored as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for the selective oxidation and detoxification of a sulfur mustard simulant, 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (2‐CEES), showing a halflife for conversion to the less toxic 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (2‐CEESO) of 6.0 min.<br>
