Neutron Scattering Investigations of the Global and Local Structures of Ammine Yttrium Borohydrides

July 22, 2021
Author(s)
Jakob Grinderslev, Mikael S. Andersson, Benjamin Trump, Wei Zhou, Terrence J. Udovic, Maths Karlsson, Torben Jensen
Complex metal hydrides are a fascinating and continuously expanding class of materials with many properties relevant for solid-state hydrogen and ammonia storage and solid state electrolytes. The crystal structures are often investigated using powder X-ray

Polymorphism of Calcium Decahydrido-closo-decaborate and Characterization of Its Hydrates

July 12, 2021
Author(s)
Mathias Jorgensen, Wei Zhou, Hui Wu, Terrence J. Udovic, Mark Paskevicius, Radovan Cerny, Torben R. Jensen
Metal closo-borates and their derivatives have shown promise in several fields of application from cancer therapy to solid-state electrolytes partly owing to their stability in aqueous solutions and high thermal stability. We report the synthesis and

A Rod-Packing Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Framework with Suitable Pore Confinement for Benchmark Ethane/Ethylene Separation

Baoqiu Yu, Lianjie Li, Shanshan Liu, Hailong Wang, Heyuan Liu, Chenxiang Lin, Chao Liu, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, Xiyou Li, Tianyu Wang, Banglin Chen, Jianzhuang Jiang
A robust 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy)-derived biological hydrogenbonded framework (HOF-25) has been realized depending on guanine-quadruplex with the assistance of π-π interaction, which reacts with Re(CO) 5Cl to give a post-functionalized HOF-25-Re. Xray

Interplay between the Reorientational Dynamics of the B 3 H 8 - Anion and the Structure in KB 3 H 8

February 25, 2021
Author(s)
M. S. Andersson, Jakob Grinderslev, X.-M. Chen, X. Chen, Ulrich Haussermann, Wei Zhou, T. R. Jensen, M. Karlsson, Terrence J. Udovic
The local structure and reorientational dynamics of KB 3H 8 were studied using quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering, Raman spectroscopy, first-principles calculations and differential scanning calorimetry. The results reveal the existence of a

Porous Organic Cages as Synthetic Water Channels

September 30, 2020
