Abstract:
Actinide supermolecular chemistry is one of the recently emerging research areas of actinide chemistry, which can provide important information for the basic research of coordination chemistry of spent fuel reprocessing, and also explore the function and potential application of actinide functional materials in the fields of luminescence, catalysis, separation et al. This review will introduce recent progresses in actinide-based supramolecular assemblies. Starting from the construction principle of actinide-based supramolecular assemblies, and in combination with the author's own research works, the progresses of three typical kinds of actinide supramolecular assemblies including actinide-rotaxane complexes based on host-guest rotaxane ligands, actinide coordination complexes with closed structures and actinide supramolecular polymers based on supramolecular interactions are reviewed and summarized. We hope the paper can provide a reference for the design and synthesis of new actinide-based supramolecular assemblies in the future and promote the development of related fields of actinide chemistry and mateirals.

Abstract:
Two-dimensional (2D) polymers have great potential in the fields of optoelectronics, catalysis, energy storage, gas storage and separation, etc. Among them, sp2-Carbon (Csp2) linked 2D polymers have shown unique electrical and chemical features. Atomic precisely polymerization through scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) technology on lattice surfaces, including Au(111), Ag(111), Cu(111), Ru(111), HOPG, have provided an effective new strategy for constructing Csp2-linked 2D polymers. STM technology has high resolution capabilities and can be adopted for structural characterization and intrinsic optoelectronic and magnetic properties understanding. This review will introduce the study of 2D polymers based on Csp2 connection under STM technology.

Abstract:
There is an urgent need to develop catalysts in line with environmental concerns. The abundant and non-toxic dual character of the iron element is fully consistent with this trend. In the past decades, catalysis based on well-defined iron complexes has experienced a very rapid growth. After the pioneering work of Gibson and Brookhart related to the polymerization of ethylene, it appeared in the literature an increasing number of studies on the coordination-insertion polymerization of 1, 3-dienes using iron-based catalytic systems. The purpose of this review is to provide an update in this field by examining the catalytic systems developed in recent years. Particular emphasis is placed on those involving discrete complexes through their structure and catalytic performance, in terms of both activity and selectivity (when relevant) as well as their limitations.

Abstract:
Structure of liquid water in the temperature range of 298~373 K was studied by neutron and X-ray scattering. The influences of temperature on the structure of liquid water were discussed in terms of partial radial distribution function (PDF), coordination number distribution (CN), angular distribution function (ADF) and spatial density function (SDF). Liquid water possesses a short-range ordered, "Irregular tetrahedron" hydrogen-bonded network structure, which extends to the third sphere. Around 4.8 water molecules run into the first sphere of liquid water, but only about 3.3 of them bond with the central water molecule. About 1/3 of the water molecules act as the interstitial water, which enters the first layer but does not directly bond with the central water molecule. It is the presence of these interstitial water molecules that aggravates the complexity of the structure of liquid water. High temperature disturbs the structure of liquid water to a certain extent. From 298 K to 373 K, the O(W)…O(W) distance increases by 0.03Å, the number of hydrogen bonds decreases by 0.1, and the ∠O(W)…O(W)…O(W) angle distribution widens. In the limited temperature range of 298~373 K in the present work, the temperature effects are slight in the SDF for the first sphere, while much more significant effect is observed for the second and the third spheres.

Abstract:
A coumarin-based fluorescent probe L was synthesized. Its structure was characterized by NMR and MS. The probe has high selectivity and sensitivity towards Co2+ and Ni2+ in DMSO/water (v/v=9:1) solvent. Upon the addition of Co2+ or Ni2+, the probe L displayed remarkable fluorescence quenching, which could not be interfered by other metal ions. The results showed that the coordination ratio of probe L to Co2+ and Ni2+ is 1:2. The detection limits for Co2+ and for Ni2+ are 1.002×10-7mol/L and 9.78×10-6mol/L, and the binding constants are 1.06×106 L·mol-1 and 9.84×105L·mol-1, respectively.

Abstract:
Composite phase change material AC/PW, AC/PA and AC/SA were prepared by melt blending using activated carbon (AC) as supporting material and paraffin (PW), palmitic acid (PA) and stearic acid (SA) as main phase change materials, and their thermal and electrical properties were studied by infrared thermal imager, thermal conduction coefficient and powder semi-conductor resistance tester. The results showed that organic matter will not leak when activated carbon is added, and the temperature field distribution during the charging and exothermic process of the composite is relatively uniform. Thermal cycling will slightly reduce the thermal conductivity of the material. In addition, the electrical resistivity of the three composite materials decreases with the increase of pressure.

Abstract:
The densities of NaCl-KCl aqueous mixture were determined at temperatures from 288.15 to 323.15 K and over a range of composition at ionic strength of 0.1~4 mol·kg-1. A high precision vibrating-tube densitometer was used in the measurement. The excess volumes of the mixed electrolytes calculated from the experimental data permitted a parameterization of the Pitzer model for mixtures with the entire range of temperatures and compositions covered by this study. In addition, using the Pitzer model, we determined the volume of mixing at constant ionic strength and at 298.15 K.

Abstract:
The magnetic properties was studied for a series of {GdIIIMII}(M=Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn) heterobinuclear complexes by the combination of DFT calculations, using the different functional methods and basis sets, with the broken-symmetry approach. The results showed that the calculated values at the level of PBE0/TZVP (Gd is SARC-ZDRA-TZVP) are consistent with the experimental values, and this method can be used to describe its magnetic properties. There is a strong orbital interaction between the paramagnetic centers CuII and GdIII and bridged coordination oxygen atoms. The molecular magnetic orbital of the complex[CuIIGdIII{PyCO(OEt)Py C(OH)(OEt)Py}3]2+ are mainly contributed by 4fz3, 4fz(x2-y2) orbitals of the paramagnetic center GdIII, 3dx2-y2 orbital of CuII ion and p orbitals of the bridging oxygen atoms. Due to the compensation of spin delocalization from CuII ion and spin polarization from GdIII ion, the effect of spin delocalization from CuII ion on bridged oxygen atoms is greater than the spin polarization effect of paramagnetic center GdIII ion. Model calculations were used to examine the influence of the electronic configuration of the MII ions on the magnetic coupling constants. As a result, the increase of unpaired electrons of MII ions, the ρHS2-ρBS2 of the paramagnetic centers GdIII/MIIincreases, the contribution of antiferromagnetic coupling increases, whereas the values of the magnetic coupling constant decreases.

Abstract:
The range of abrupt change in the titration curve plays a key role in selecting an indicator, and also is the important factor to determine whether or not the titration proceeds accurately. Before the stoichiometric point of the chemical reaction, the approximate formula\begin{document}$\mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}+\lg \frac{c_{\mathrm{B}^{-}}}{c_{\mathrm{HB}}} $\end{document} can be normally used to obtain the solution pH. However, if[OH-] is close to cHB or[H+] approaches cHB, the above approximation should be a serious problem. In this paper, pH approximation formulas for monoprotic weak acid with different concentrations are derived, which satisfy the error requirement (within ±0.02 pH). Before the stoichiometric point (a=0.999), if the solution is acidic (pKa ≤ 4.0 case), \begin{document}$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{10^{-3} c K_{\mathrm{a}}}{c+2 K_{\mathrm{a}}} $\end{document} ; if the solution is alkaline (pKa>4.0 case), \begin{document}$\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{\left.c K_{\mathrm{a}}+\sqrt{c K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(c K_{\mathrm{a}}+8 \times 10^{-8}\right)}\right)}{2000 c} $\end{document} . After the stoichiometric point (a=1.001), \begin{document}$ \left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\frac{\left.-c K_{\mathrm{a}}+\sqrt{c K_{\mathrm{a}}\left(c K_{\mathrm{a}}+8 \times 10^{-8}\right)}\right)}{2000 c} $\end{document} . The three equations works more properly than the formula \begin{document}$ \mathrm{pH}=\mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}}+\lg \frac{c_{\mathrm{B}}-}{c_{\mathrm{H} \mathrm{B}}}$\end{document} .
