Bimetallic salen-based compounds and their potential applications

Finelli, Alba ; Abram, Sarah-Luise ; Hérault, Nelly ; Crochet, Aurélien ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Crystal Growth & Design, 2020, vol. 20, no. 8, p. 4945–4958

The new bimetallic coordination compounds [LNiAg(NO3)], [LCuMn(NO3)2], [LCuCu(NO3)2], [LCuZn(NO3)2], and [{LCuBi(NO3)3}(ACN)] have been synthesized from a salen-type ligand L containing two distinct coordination sites to accommodate (different) metal ions M1 and M2. In the solid state, the formation of 1:1 compounds (LCu:M2) is always observed, but interactions between the compounds lead to ...

Li0.5Ni0.5Ti1.5Fe0.5(PO4)3/C electrode material for lithium ion batteries exhibiting faster kinetics and enhanced stability

Srout, Mohammed ; Kwon, Nam Hee ; Ben Youcef, Hicham ; Semlal, Nawal ; Fromm, Katharina M. ; Saadoune, Ismael

In: ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2020, vol. 12, no. 16, p. 18496–18503

Natrium super ionic conductor (NASICON) materials providing attractive properties such as high ionic conductivity and good structural stability are considered as very promising materials for use as electrodes for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries. Herein, a new high-performance electrode material, Li0.5Ni0.5Ti1.5Fe0.5(PO4)3/C, was synthesized via the sol–gel method and was...

Chemistry of alkaline earth metals: It is not all ionic and definitely not boring!

Fromm, Katharina M.

In: Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 2020, vol. 408, p. 213193

Some scientists might consider group 2 chemistry as “boring, closed shell and all ionic, aqueous chemistry, where everything is known! It is not worth investigating”. How wrong they are! Far from forming only purely ionic compounds, this review will shed light on some spectacular molecules, showing that alkaline earth metal ions can behave similar to transition metal ions. After general...

Surface modifications of positive-electrode materials for lithium ion batteries

Kwon, Nam Hee ; Conder, Joanna ; Srout, Mohammed ; Fromm, Katharina M.

In: CHIMIA International Journal for Chemistry, 2019, vol. 73, no. 11, p. 880–893

Lithium ion batteries are typically based on one of three positive-electrode materials, namely layered oxides, olivine- and spinel-type materials. The structure of any of them is 'resistant' to electrochemical cycling, and thus, often requires modification/post- treatment to improve a certain property, for example, structural stability, ionic and/or electronic conductivity. This review...

Bimetallic metal organic frameworks with precisely positioned metal centers for efficient H2 storage

Kim, Daeok ; Song, Kyung Seob ; Buyukcakir, Onur ; Yildirim, Taner ; Coskun, Ali

In: Chemical Communications, 2018, vol. 54, no. 86, p. 12218–12221

We demonstrated that the ratio and position of two different metal ions, Pd and Cu, can be precisely controlled within MOFs through predesigned metal clusters. These MOF structures incorporating Pd–Cu paddle wheel units were synthesised simply by reacting Pd–Cu acetate metal clusters and tritopic organic linkers at room temperature. Pd–Cu open metal sites were found to be uniformly...
