- Hexaaminobenzene as a building block for a family of 2D coordination polymers
-
A family of 2D coordination polymers were successfully synthesized through "bottom-up" techniques using Ni2+, Cu2+, Co2+, and hexaaminobenzene. Liquidliquid and air-liquid interfacial reactions were used to realize thick (~1-2 μm) and thin (10 nm) stacked layers of nanosheet, respectively. Atomic-force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy both revealed the smooth and flat nature of the nanosheets. Selected area diffraction was used to elucidate the hexagonal crystal structure of the framework. Electronic devices were fabricated on thin samples of the Ni analogue and they were found to be mildly conducting and also showed back gate dependent conductance.

- Twinned TATB nanobelts: Synthesis, characterization, and formation mechanism
-
Twinned TATB nanobelts were directly synthesized using a water/AOT/toluene microemulsion system. Here, urea has been used as an aminating agent, which has been proven to play an important role in the formation of such a nanostructure. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to characterize the composition of the as-synthesized samples. Electron microscopic studies indicated that the morphology and size of the TATB nanobelts can be readily tuned by varying experimental parameters. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) studies showed that the TATB nanobelts possess mirror symmetry, each of which grow along the [001] direction. A possible mechanism was also proposed to account for the growth of these twinned TATB nanobelts prepared by the microemulsion system. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.

- Ultrathin two-dimensional π-d conjugated coordination polymer Co3(hexaaminobenzene)2 nanosheets for highly efficient oxygen evolution
-
Organic two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique optic-electronic properties are attracting great interest for application in functional electronic devices. However, low electronic conductivity and poor stability still are major defects of 2D organic systems. Herein, we demonstrated ultrathin 2D conductive cobalt-hexaaminobenzene metal-organic coordination polymer nanosheets (Co-HAB-NSs) with a thickness of ~4.5 nm. The as-prepared Co-HAB-NSs exhibit a low overpotential (310 mV @ 10 mA cm-2) and high durability in 1 M KOH. The experimental and computational results show that the high electrocatalytic activity is ascribed to the enhanced electrochemically active surface area as well as the dense and stable catalytic active sites of Co-HAB-NSs.

- Method of purifying TATB
-
The invention discloses a method for purifying TATB. In a polar aprotic organic solvent under mild conditions, high-activity aromatic isocyanate is reacted with TATB to generate substituted urea; thehydrogen-bond interaction between substituted urea molecules is weak so that the substituted urea compared with TATB is more easily dissolved in a polar aprotic organic solvent; and then through adding water or ethyl acetate into the polar aprotic organic solvent in which the substituted urea is dissolved to change the polarity of the solvent so as to crystallize and separate out the substituted urea, pure substituted urea can be obtained; and finally the substituted urea is hydrolyzed under alkaline or acidic conditions to obtain the high-purity TATB. According to the purification method, thephenomenon that concentrated sulfuric acid releases heat violently and has the strong corrosion property is avoided, the purification condition is mild, operation is safer, and compared with imidazole acetate ionic liquid, the cost is low, and the purity is high. The TATB reacts with the aromatic isocyanate to generate the substituted urea, the TATB can be greatly promoted to be dissolved in thepolar aprotic organic solvent, the substituted urea is completely converted into TATB after being hydrolyzed, and the yield and purity of the TATB can reach 99% or above.

- Docking Strategy To Construct Thermostable, Single-Crystalline, Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework with High Surface Area
-
Enhancing thermal and chemical durability and increasing surface area are two main directions for the construction and improvement of the performance of porous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). Herein, a hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) derivative that possesses six carboxyaryl groups serves as a suitable building block for the systematic construction of thermally and chemically durable HOFs with high surface area through shape-fitted docking between the HAT cores and interpenetrated three-dimensional network. A HAT derivative with carboxybiphenyl groups forms a stable single-crystalline porous HOF that displays protic solvent durability, even in concentrated HCl, heat resistance up to 305 °C, and a high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area [SA(BET)] of 1288 m2 g?1. A single crystal of this HOF displays anisotropic fluorescence, which suggests that it would be applicable to polarized emitters based on robust functional porous materials.

- Signature of metallic behavior in the metal-organic frameworks M3(hexaiminobenzene)2 (M = Ni, Cu)
-
The two-dimensionally connected metal- organic frameworks (MOFs) Ni3(HIB)2 and Cu3(HIB)2 (HIB = hexaiminobenzene) are bulk electrical conductors and exhibit ultraviolet-photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) signatures expected of metallic solids. Electronic band structure calculations confirm that in both materials the Fermi energy lies in a partially filled delocalized band. Together with additional structural characterization and microscopy data, these results represent the first report of metallic behavior and permanent porosity coexisting within a metal-organic framework.

- A Stable Hexakis(guanidino)benzene: Realization of the Strongest Neutral Organic Four-Electron Donor
-
The growing demand for efficient batteries has stimulated the search for redox-active organic compounds with multistage redox behavior, as materials with large charge capacity. Herein we report the synthesis and properties of the first hexakis(guanidino)benzene derivative: a strong neutral organic electron donor with reversible multistage redox behavior and a record low redox potential for donation of four electrons. Detailed structural and spectroscopic characterization of three redox states (0, +2, and +4) reveal its unique electronic features. Despite its nitrogen richness, the compound is thermally robust and can be readily purified by sublimation.

- Method of synt hesizing Hexaaminobenzene
-
The present invention relates to a synthesis method for hexaaminobenzene trihydrochloride. The present invention solves existing problems that large-scale production is impossible due to instability of hexaaminobenzene by converting hexaaminobenzene into hexaaminobenzene hydrochloride and enables large-scale production of stable high-purity hexaaminobenzene with improved processing efficiency.

- Scalable synthesis of pure and stable hexaaminobenzene trihydrochloride
-
Synthesis of hexaaminobenzene (HAB) in pure and stable form has remained as an important challenge for a long time, since it is a fascinating synthon for the synthesis of aromatic nitrogenous compounds having many interesting applications. Here, we report an improved synthesis of pure and stable HAB form using modified catalytic hydrogenation in aqueous acidic medium. The structure of needle-shaped HAB crystals was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The synthetic protocol could thus be a simple, but efficient for the large-scale synthesis of highly pure and stable HAB. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

- Synthesis and electrochemical and theoretical studies of V-shaped donor-acceptor hexaazatriphenylene derivatives for second harmonic generation
-
In this article we describe novel synthetic strategies toward well-defined disubstituted conjugated hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) derivatives. The systems are designed as novel V-shaped chromophores displaying C2 symmetry suitable for nonlinear optical investigations. Different donor moieties and linkers have been used in order to tune the electrochemical properties as well as the absorption spectra of the novel HAT derivatives. μβ values as high as 1010 × 10-48 esu have been obtained for a derivative containing the electron-rich dibutylamino moiety. Theoretical calculations have been performed showing a reasonable agreement with the experimental results and supporting the two-dimensional NLO character of these chromophores.
