Revealing the Mechanism of Doping of spiro-MeOTAD via Zn Complexation in the Absence of Oxygen and Light

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Bowen Yang, Hui-Seon Kim, Jiajia Suo, Yasemin Saygili

In this study, a new mechanism for doping of spiro-MeOTAD by Zn(TFSI)(2) is revealed, which is completely different from the mechanism induced by LiTFSI. The oxidation of spiro-MeOTAD is facilitated by complexation between the zinc cation and tert-butylpyr ...

Understanding How Ligand Functionalization Influences CO2 and N-2 Adsorption in a Sodalite Metal-Organic Framework

Michele Ceriotti, Wendy Lee Queen, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Mehrdad Asgari, Olga Trukhina, Ilia Kochetygov, Rocio Semino Barbaresi

In this work, a detailed study is conducted to understand how ligand substitution influences the CO, and N-2 adsorption properties of two highly crystalline sodalite metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) known as Cu-BTT (BTT-3 = 1,3,5-benzenetristetrazolate) and ...
