Treatment of ArNHCH₂CH₂OH (HL, Ar＝2,6-Me₂C₆H₃) with AlMe₃ and ZnEt₂ resulted in the formation of a bi-aluminum complex, [(Me₂Al)(L)]₂ (1), and a tetra-zinc complex, [EtZn₂(L)₃]₂ (2), respectively. They were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Complex 1 is a crystallographically centrosymmetric dimer with an Al₂O₂ core in the solid state, while a Zn₄O₆ core is observed in 2, which can be viewed as two side-by-side cubes missing a pair of opposite vertices. Preliminary catalytic activity tests indicated that the aluminum complex 1 was inactive for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone, while the zinc complex 2 was a highly active initiator for the ROP of ε-caprolactone and could control the molecular weight distribution of the resulted polymers in narrow ranges.

以葡萄糖为碳源制备了碳掺杂BiOCl。碳掺杂剂主要富集于晶体表面或浅层晶格中，部分与氧原子成键。在室温可见光条件下，以分子氧为绿色氧化剂，碳掺杂BiOCl催化苄胺自偶联转化率(> 99%)是纯BiOCl的12倍。该掺杂催化剂对胺类底物具有良好官能团耐受性，并表现出晶面依赖的光催化活性。综合表征证实：碳掺杂在晶体原带隙中形成掺杂能级，使BiOCl吸收范围拓宽至可见光区并降低其功函数；同时增强了BiOCl内部电场，其中单层/双层石墨烯为最有效掺杂形态，可捕获经电子-空穴分离后跃迁至高能级的导带电子，从而抑制电子-空穴复合，提高光生载流子分离效率；此外还促进了O₂活化。本研究为光催化剂理性设计及实现高效定向有机转化提供了参考。
