Surface‐Mounted Metal‐Organic Framework for the Adsorption and Sensing of Monoaromatic Pollutants in Water Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A hydrophobic metal‐organic framework (UHMOF‐100) is grown on a quartz crystal microbalance sensor for the first time. The device enables real‐time, selective detection of monoaromatic BTEX pollutants in water, demonstrating a new strategy for creating robust chemical sensors for challenging environmental monitoring applications.

Catalytic Depolymerization of Polyester Waste via Zinc Oxide‐Decorated Silica

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plastics recycling into value‐added products has attracted much interests, but generally comes at a high energy cost. Here, the authors present a zinc oxide‐decorated silica catalyst for the efficient depolymerization of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (BHET) and ethylene glycol (EG).

A Density Functional Theory‐Genetic Algorithm Approach for the Structural Elucidation of Linear Diamantane Polyesters and their Nonlinear Optical Properties

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, EarlyView.
Diamondoid polyesters emit white light upon continuous infrared laser irradiation. The structures of the polyesters are microcrystalline as determined with solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy combined with computational analyzes. We report a series of diamantane polyesters synthesized as head‐to‐head and side‐to‐side linear chain ...
