Three types of heterometallic bismuth–tungsten oxide nanoclusters were successfully synthesized by the reactions of lacunary silicotungstates (trivacant [A-α-SiW9O34]10− and divacant [γ-SiW10O36]8−) and Bi3+ in organic solvents. Lone pairs on Bi3+ acted as structure-directing groups in these nanoclusters.

A hierarchical NiO/NiMn-LDH nanosheet array on Ni foam was prepared via a facile two-step approach and exhibited a high specific capacitance (937 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1) and good cycling stability (91% retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g−1). The improved electrochemical performance is benefited from the synergistic properties of hierarchical NiO/LDH nanosheet composites on a conductive substrate.

The first reversible solid-state single-crystal-to-single-crystal isomerisation mediated by the change of uranyl-ligand coordination modes, that is from seven-coordinated uranium(vi) of α-UP to six-coordinated uranium(vi) of the supramolecular isomer, β-UP, has been achieved in the uranyl polyrotaxane system by a temperature-induced strategy.

The preparation of transparent porous materials can offer a different access towards the study of molecules under solid confined space. Metal–organic frameworks represent a unique opportunity due to their tunable pore size, however aromatic linkers present strong absorption and reduce the transparency. Herein, we report the first example of a MOF with bicyclic organic dicarboxylic linkers and its use as a solid solvent.
