An unprecedented Mo–organic molecular cage built on interesting {Mo VI2 O5} secondary building blocks and BTC ligands, which has been successfully synthesized and systematically characterized, presents the first example of an isopolyoxomolybdates(VI)–organic molecular cage. An investigation into the related Cs+-exchange experiment was performed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Unprecedented Anderson-like alkoxo-polyoxovanadate [V6O6(OCH3)9(μ6-SO4)(COO)3]2− polyanions can serve as 3-connected second building units (SBUs) that assemble with dicarboxylate or tricarboxylate ligands to form a new family of metal organic tetrahedrons of V4E6 and V4F4 type (V = vertex, E = edge, and F = face). To our knowledge, this alkoxo-polyoxovanadate-based SBU is the first ever reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A unique cationic metal–organic framework was synthesized by connecting the neutral rod-shaped secondary building unit with a cationic dicarboxylate ligand. This framework showed a rare snub square tessellation pattern by the periodic tiling of triangular and square nanotubes. The charge- and size-dependent ion-exchange of anion dyes was investigated.

The AIE mechanism for cationic Ir(III) complexes with triazole-pyridine ligands has been determined by the combination of an experimental and a computational study. Larger structural relaxation and weak emissive excited-state intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) characters are responsible for the non-emission in solution, whereas the non-radiative processes are efficiently restricted in the solid state, enhancing the emission.
