- Optical-Dielectric Duple Bistable Switches: Photoluminescence of Reversible Phase Transition Molecular Material
-
Molecular optical-dielectric duple bistable switches are photoelectric (dielectric and fluorescent) multifunctional materials that can simultaneously convert optical and electrical signals in one device for seamless integration. However, exploring optical-dielectric duple channels of dielectric and photoluminescence is still a bigger challenge than single dielectric or photoluminescence bistable ones, which are hardly reported but probably will be heavily researched owing to the new generation artificial intelligence development needs in the future. Herein, a new optical-dielectric duple bistable switches material, [(CH3)3NCH2CH3]2MnCl4 (I), was obtained by a simple method for volatilization of solvents. Variable temperature single crystal X-ray analysis indicates that material I has a reversible bistable structure (order-disorder structure phase transition) corresponding to switching “ON′′ and ”OFF′′. Unlike the single dielectric bistable structures that were previously reported, material I also own bistable features in terms of fluorescence property. This material enriches the specific examples of photoelectric duple function switch materials and facilitates the development of required devices.

- Anomalous Stoichiometry, 3-D Bridged Triangular/Pentagonal Layered Structured Artificial Antiferromagnet for the Prussian Blue Analogue A3MnII5(CN)13 (A = NMe4, NEtMe3). A Cation Adaptive Structure
-
The size of the organic cation dictates both the composition and the extended 3-D structure for hybrid organic/inorganic Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) of AaMnIIb(CN)a+2b (A = cation) stoichiometry. Alkali PBAs are typically cubic with both MC6 and M′N6 octahedral coordination sites and the alkali cation content depends on the M and M′ oxidation states. The reaction of MnII(O2CCH3)2 and A+CN- (A = NMe4, NEtMe3) forms a hydrated material of A3MnII5(CN)13 composition. A3MnII5(CN)13 forms a complex, 3-D extended structural motif with octahedral and rarely observed square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal MnII sites with a single layer motif of three pentagonal and one triangular fused rings. A complex pattern of MnIICN chains bridge the layers. (NMe4)3MnII5(CN)13 possesses one low-spin octahedral and four high-spin pentacoordinate MnII sites and orders as an antiferromagnet at 11 K due to the layers being bridged and antiferromagnetically coupled by the nonmagnetic cyanides. These are rare examples of intrinsic, chemically prepared and controlled artificial antiferromagnets and have the advantage of having controlled uniform spacing between the layers as they are not physically prepared via deposition methods. A3Mn5(CN)13 (A = NMe4, NEtMe3) along with [NEt4]2MnII3(CN)8, [NEt4]MnII3(CN)7, and Mn(CN)2 form stoichiometrically related AaMnIIb(CN)a+2b (a = 0, b = 1; a = 2, b = 3; a = 1, b = 3; and a = 3, b = 5) series possessing unprecedented stoichiometries and lattice motifs. These unusual structures and stoichiometries are attributed to the very ionic nature of the high-spin N-bonded MnII ion that enables the maximization of the attractive van der Waals interactions via minimization of void space via a reduced aMnIIb(CN)a+2b family of compounds are referred to as being cation adaptive in which size and shape dictate both the stoichiometry and structure.

- Reversible high temperature dielectric switching in a 2H-perovskite compound: [Me3NCH2CH3]CdCl3
-
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials with a high-temperature phase transition have been widely applied as a kind of smart material. In this work, a new organic-inorganic 2H-perovskite compound, namely [Me3NCH2CH3]CdCl3 (1), is reported with a high temperature dielectric transition showing excellent reversibility and sustainability. 1 has an ABX3 hybrid perovskite structure, where A is a [Me3NCH2CH3]+ cation, B is a divalent metal atom, and X is a halogen atom. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric measurements were applied for further characterization. Variable temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pbca space group (No. 61) at 293 K and hexagonal P63/mmc space group (No. 194) at 363 K. The structural phase transition is primarily attributed to an ordered-disordered type resulting from the [Me3NCH2CH3]+ cations. Organic-inorganic perovskite compounds, as a result of a long exploration history and forward-looking prospects, can deepen research into molecular materials and their physical properties can be effectively optimized in the next-generation of temperature-responsive electrical switches.

- Alkylation of ammonium salts catalyzed by imidazolium-based ionic liquid catalysts
-
Quaternary ammonium salts were synthesized from ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates over imidazolium ionic liquid catalysts. The reaction gave almost stoichiometric amounts of the quaternary ammonium salts for halides and nitrates. It was found that the electron-donating property of the alkyl moieties of ammonium cations, the electrophilic nature of the alkyl group of the carbonate, the acidity of the acid that the anion of the ammonium salt corresponds to, and the steric hindrance of the ammonium salts and the dialkyl carbonates are the key factors that influence the yields of quaternary ammonium salts. Strong electron-donating alkyl groups on the nitrogen atom of the ammonium salt, electron-withdrawing groups on the methylene carbon of dialkyl carbonate, and weaker steric hindrance of the starting ammonium salts and dialkyl carbonates favor the alkylation reaction of ammonium salts.
