Amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) with l -lysine ( l -Lys) as anion were synthesized and applied as new chiral ligands in Zn(II) complexes for chiral ligand-exchange CE. After effective optimization, baseline enantioseparation of seven pairs of dansylated amino acids was achieved with a buffer of 100.0 mM boric acid, 5.0 mM ammonium acetate, 3.0 mM ZnSO 4 , and 6.0 mM [C 6 mim][ l -Lys] at pH 8.2. To validate the unique behavior of AAILs, a comparative study between the performance of Zn(II)- l -Lys and Zn(II)-[C 6 mim][ l -Lys] systems was conducted. In Zn(II)-[C 6 mim][ l -Lys] system, it has been found that the improved chiral resolution could be obtained and the migration times of the three test samples were markedly prolonged. Then the separation mechanism was further discussed. The role of [C 6 mim][ l -Lys] indicated clearly that the synthesized AAILs could be used as chiral ligands and would have potential utilization in separation science in future.

Two coordination polymers (CPs) [Zn(PTA)(DTP)(H 2 O) 2 ]•(DMF) ( CP-1 ) and [Zn(BTC)(DTP)]•(CH 3 CN) 1.5 •(H 2 O) 4 ( CP-2 ) with one- and two-dimensional architectures were synthesized from Zn(II) ion and different organic linkers like terephthalic acid (H 2 PTA), benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (H 3 BTC), and 3,5-di(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) pyridine (DTP). The fluorescent sensing experiments showed that the two CPs displayed effective, sensitive, and selective abilities towards Fe 3+ and Cr 2 O 7 2- . For sensing the pesticides, CP-1 outperforms in sensing of metamitron (MMT) and CP-2 is ultrasensitive towards imidacloprid (IMI). The possible mechanisms involved in the quenching of the fluorescence intensity include the inner filter effect (IFE) and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect.

Metal-organic gels, which have attracted much attention and research due to their novel properties, were usually prepared with organic solution. In this paper, a new metal-organic gel was assembled by mixing proper amount of xanthine and zinc acetate in pure water with the assistance of triethylamine . The results of FTIR and XRD indicated that the hydrogel was self-assembled through coordination, hydrogen bond and π-π stacking. The hydrogel exhibited thixotropic property and good resistance to acid, alkali and heat. The xerogel obtained by freeze-drying had a porous structure with pore size ranging from several nanometers to several hundred nanometers as shown in the SEM images. The xerogel had the effectively adsorption properties for methyl orange in aqueous solution, and the adsorption efficiency is up to 80.63%. The model of adsorption kinetics and adsorptions isotherm show that the adsorption data were consistent with the Freundlich equation and the pseudo-second-order model, which mainly attribute to the chemisorption of methyl orange on multilayer heterogeneous surface of the xerogel . Prepared by a simple and mild method, the xerogel is a promising adsorbent for dye wastewater treatment .

A new tetranuclear Zn(II) complex, [{Zn(L)(μ-OAc)Zn(H 2 O)} 2 ], based on an asymmetrical salamo-type bisoxime chelating ligand H 3 L (6-hydroxy-4′-chloro-2,2′-[ethylenediyldioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, differential thermal methods, single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and IR, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectra. The Zn(II) complex crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P -1 with cell parameters a = 9.0742(6) Å, b = 11.8225(5) Å, c = 12.4182(8) Å, Z = 2, V = 1212.56(12) Å 3 , R 1 = 0.0572, and wR 2 = 0.1734. The environment of the tetranuclear Zn(II) complex is penta-coordinated having a slightly distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Moreover, a 1D chain supramolecular structure is formed along the c -axis by the intermolecular C1–H1B⋯O14 hydrogen bonds; in the same manner, C2–H2C⋯Cg2 functions in the formation of supramolecular structures along the a -axis of the 1D chain. A 2D supramolecular structure along the ac plane extends infinitely under the force of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Differential scanning calorimetry-thermogravimetry thermal analysis provides evidence of the coordination of Zn(II) atoms to the ligand H 3 L. The Zn(II) complex shows intense photoluminescence with a maximum emission at ~453 nm upon excitation at 360 nm.

Soil minerals are important natural adsorbents that regulate heavy metal fate; yet, the influence of natural drying on their adsorption behavior remains poorly understood. This study compared how drying affects Cd(II) and Zn(II) retention and selectivity on two widespread soil minerals, ferrihydrite (Fhy) and kaolinite (Kln), using single/binary adsorption experiments. Results indicated that drying significantly enhanced Cd(II) and Zn(II) retention on Fhy by promoting inner-sphere complexation and enhancing the stability of metal-mineral bonds, as evidenced by extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy analyses. In contrast, the effect on Kln was less pronounced, with Cd(II) and Zn(II) predominantly adsorbed via electrostatic interactions and drying having a minimal impact. Crucially, drying induced contrasting selectivity changes: it enhanced the selective adsorption of Zn(II) on Kln while favoring Cd(II) selectivity on Fhy. Density functional theory (DFT) computations corroborated this finding, showing lower adsorption energies for Cd(II) than for Zn(II) on Fhy, with the reverse trend observed on Kln. This preferential adsorption of Cd(II) on Fhy and Zn(II) on Kln after drying was attributed to the drying process facilitating the formation of more stable bonds between metal ions and mineral surfaces. These findings establish a theoretical framework for predicting the fate of metals in dehydration-affected soils and contribute to a systematic understanding of the environmental functionality of soil minerals.

Cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) in seawater enter the human body through the food chain. Combined toxicity tests indicated that high concentrations of Cd(II) and low concentrations of Zn(II) had a synergistic effect on humans. Thus, there is an urgent need to prepare a sensor for rapid and simultaneous detection of Cd(II) and Zn(II) in seawater. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide/carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotube (rGO/MWCNT-COOH)-modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared in the experiments using the dropping method. The synthesis of various materials achieved the purpose of expanding the surface area, and scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the structure of the composite membrane. Moreover, the large number of functional groups on the surface of the composite membrane can also increase the adsorption of ions. For the determination of trace cadmium (II) and zinc (II) in seawater, the method used was differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The results show that the peak current, which was obtained in the range of 5–400 μg/L for Cd(II) and Zn(II), has a linear relationship with concentration, corresponding to the detection limits of 0.8 μg/L for Cd(II) and 0.98 μg/L for Zn(II). The modified electrode was used to determine the Cd(II) and Zn(II) content in the coastal seawater of the Maowei Sea, and the recovery rate was between 95.8 and 98.2% for Cd(II) and 96.7~99.4% for Zn(II), which provided a novel approach of detection to define trace Cd(II) and Zn(II) in seawater.

Aminopolycarboxylic acids (APAs) show a strong affinity toward heavy metal species, but straightforward and robust studies on the surface of porous adsorbents with APAs are rarely available. In this study, branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) is directly used to investigate the surface of a microcrystalline cellulose (MC)-supported porous monolith (MC@PEI) through an oil-in-water high internal phase emulsion technique. The residual amines of the covalently immobilized PEI are transformed into dense APAs (MC@PEI-APA). The open-cellular MC@PEI-APA monolith can effectively eliminate trace Cu(II) or Zn(II) from water relative to MC@PEI. Moreover, its adsorption complies with the second-order kinetics and follows the Langmuir adsorption model. MC@PEI-APA shows high adsorption capacities (e.g., 96 mg g −1 for Cu(II)). It also presents stronger metal affinities than the commercial Amberlite IRC-748 adsorbent possibly because of the cooperative ligation of metal species by the relatively dense APA groups of MC@PEI-APA. The proposed adsorbent is durable and has good recyclability.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with regular pore size (~ 0.34 nm) is widely attempted for gas separation membranes based on size sieving. However, the prospect is subjected to fabricating the continuous ZIF-8 membranes with high mechanical stability and uniformity. In response, an adhesive layer of Zn(II)-doped polydopamine (Zn-PDA) is pre-coated on the stainless steel nets in this work to improve ZIF-8 nucleation and growth. Zn-PDA layer shows high tolerance to ultrasonic agitation and heated methanol (system for ZIF-8 synthesis), little dissolution within 24 h, which supplies a high stable surface for ZIF-8 growth. Furthermore, the Zn(II) doped in PDA layer is opportunely serving as the even-distributed ZIF-8 nucleation starting sites, verified with the EDX and FE-SEM images for the aggregated Zn(II) clusters and the nascent ZIF-8 crystals. Therefore, an indented and hinged boundary is constructed between ZIF-8 and substrate to enhance the mechanical stability. The FE-SEM images after ultrasonic agitation show that the continuous ZIF-8 membranes prepared on Zn-PDA layers can tolerate the deformation to a certain extent. Finally, the prepared ZIF-8 membranes behave excellently with α H2/CO2 = 9.9, α H2/CO = 17.2, α H2/CH4 = 26.0, and permeation rate J H2 = 3980 GPU. This work supplied a useful approach to enhance mechanical stability and uniformity of defect-free ZIF-8 membranes.

A common concern in the approval of nanotechnology for water treatment is whether there are advantages of these nanomaterials over conventional water treatment reagents. In this work, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is compared with lime (Ca(OH) 2 ), the most widely used heavy metal precipitant, for Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal, in laboratory and field experiments. Water chemistry, treatment efficiencies and reaction products of the two reagents are compared and the study shows that the moderate solution pH of nZVI and its seed effect play vital roles in producing high-quality effluents. The results are then verified in a field continuous-flow experiment using tons of lime and kilos of nZVI. The results show that sub-ppm levels (∼0.1 mg/L) of Pb(II) and Zn(II) could not be achieved via lime precipitation alone, due to the solubility limits of metal hydroxides and their re-dissolution caused by the strong alkalinity of lime. In comparison, stable and lower levels of Pb(II) and Zn(II) were easily attained using nZVI, due to its multifunctional properties and good tolerance for influent fluctuation enabled by its inherent pH-stabilizing nature. SEM characterizations, particle size analyses and quiescent settling experiments show the ability of nZVI to generate large and consolidated solids that are amenable to gravitational separation. The study shows several key advantages of nZVI over lime technology in Pb(II) and Zn(II) removal. As lime is widely used for heavy metal removal, this work provides an effective advanced treatment process to supplement lime-based treatment methods.

Efficient separation of ethane (C 2 H 6 ) from ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) using C 2 H 6 -selective adsorbents is more efficient but challenging due to their similar physical and chemical properties. Herein, we report a Zn (II) cluster-based metal-organic framework, Zn 4 O(NTB) 2 , with suitable cavity pockets and favorable adsorption sites for the reverse capture of C 2 H 6 from C 2 H 6 /C 2 H 4 mixtures. Both high C 2 H 6 uptake (2.83 mmol g −1 ) and C 2 H 6 /C 2 H 4 selectivity (2.06) at 273 K and 1 bar was achieved, outperforming many top-ranking C 2 H 6 -selective adsorbents. Moreover, dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation revealed that C H···O and C H···π interactions are formed with C 2 H 6 in the suitable pockets with saturated Zn clusters and nonpolar pore surfaces. Dynamic breakthrough experiments demonstrated its practical separation performances with various gas-mixture compositions and those containing water vapor.

In this contribution, an ultra-sensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was proposed for dopamine (DA) detection based on ruthenium(II) complex (tris(2,2-bipyridyl)dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate, Ru(bpy)32+) functionalized Zn(II) metal–organic frameworks (Ru-MOFs). The Ru-MOFs, with large internal surface areas and abundant Ru(bpy)32+ encapsulated effectively, could act as a suitable ECL emitter in a DA detection system. The leakage of Ru molecules in the encapsulation system could be effectively prevented, which resulted in stable ECL signals and significantly improved the ECL performance. On the basis of the novel Ru-MOFs as efficient ECL tags, the as-prepared simple and label-free ECL sensor was employed to quantify dopamine, which showed an excellent linear response from 0.1 pM to 10 nM and a detection limit of 0.024 pM. The simple and sensitive strategy might be expanded to other applications in analysis and detection fields based on functional metal–organic frameworks.

Transition metal carboxylates with O- and N-donor ligands are interesting for their structural features. Seven novel isonicotinamide(inic)-based metal complexes of [Cd(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (1) (L1 = 2-chloronicotinate), [Cd(inic)2(L2)2(H2O)2] (2) (L2 = 2,4-dichlorobenzoate), [Cu(inic)2(L3)2] (3) (L3 = 4-chlorophenoxyacetate), [Cu3(inic)6(L4)2(HL4)2(H2O)2] · 2H2O (4) (L4 = azelate), [Zn(inic)2(L1)2(H2O)2] · (inic) · H2O (5), [Zn(inic)(L5)(H2O)4] (6) (L5 = 3-nitrophthalate) and [Zn2(inic)2(L6)2] · 5H2O (7) (L6 = 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) have been obtained by the introduction of the carboxylates by the common solution method and are structurally featured by different techniques of EA, IR spectra, TG and SCXRD analysis. The X-ray studies told that these complexes display mononuclear to trinuclear structures with octahedral/square-pyramidal geometry around the Zn2+, trigonal bipyramidal/octahedral at the Cu2+ and octahedral for the Cd2+. The inic in 1–7 are coordinated only in monodentate fashion with its ring N, while 5 has the lattice inic. The carboxylates coordinated to the metal in monodentate, chelating bidentate and bridging bidentate fashions. The pair of complementary N-H···O H-bonds from the CONH2 of the inic were found in all compounds except 7. Except 1 and 2, all other compounds bear the CH-O contacts from the pyridine CH of the inic. The intricate intra- and intermolecular classical H-bonds, CH-N, CH-O, CH-Cl, CH2-O, O-N, O-O, Cl-O, Cl-Cl, CH-π, CH2-π, C-π, N-π, Cl-π and π-π associations are elucidated by the X-ray crystallographic studies, which push the discrete complexes into high-dimensional ordered supramolecular structures.
