In the present work, various LiFePO4/carbon composites were prepared through a facile solvothermal route followed by heat treatment. These as-prepared LiFePO4/carbon composites, including LiFePO4/acetylene black (95:5 wt.%), LiFePO4/carbon nanotube (95:5 wt.%) and LiFePO4/graphene (95:5 wt.%), were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their electrochemical performances were also investigated and compared in detail. The achieved results indicate that both particle-size and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4 much depend on the carbon supporter. When acetylene black and carbon nanotube were used as carbon supporter, the prepared LiFePO4 particles were agglomerate together to form large-size second particles which cannot well connect with carbon supporter. In the LiFePO4/graphene composite, ∼50 nm LiFePO4 particles uniformly loaded on the two-dimensional carbon supporter, and thus display much better rate ability. This result suggests that graphene should be a promising carbon supporter for LiFePO4.

The single crystal X-ray structural analyses show that complexes 1, 2, and 3 have isomorphous structures and crystallize in monoclinic system with space group P21/c. The complexes containing isolated SH− anions, which may come from the thermochemical sulfate reduction, are located in the gap with lattice water molecules and provide multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form 2D layers. Topology analyses show a 2D hydrogen bond network, which can be regarded as an unprecedented trinodal (3,4,6)-connected topology with Schläfli symbol (3.4.53.6)2(3.4.5)2(32;54;64;82;93).

A series of three-dimensional coordination polymers [ML(H2O)2]n (M = Mn (1), Co (2), Zn (3), Cd (4); H2L = 5-carboxyl-1-carboxymethyl-3-oxidopyridimium) have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses, IR spectra, and thermogravimetric analyses. Four complexes are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P21/c. Their structures can be considered constructed from two-dimensional layers, which consist of left- and right-handed helical chains and further linked by L2− ligands into three-dimensional (3D) pillared-layer frameworks. From the topological point of view, the 3D nets are binodal with three- and six-connected nodes and exhibit rutile topology. The experimental magnetic susceptibilities of 1 and 2 are interpreted with the dimer law, yielding J and g values of 1.02 cm−1, 1.99 and −0.51 cm−1, 2.32, respectively. The exchange integrals (J) indicate weak ferromagnetic interactions between two Mn(II) ions in 1 and weak antiferromagnetic interactions between two Co(II) ions in 2. 3 and 4 exhibit intense luminescence in the solid state at room temperature.

A new multicarboxylate ligand, 3,5-bis-oxyacetate-benzoic acid (H3BOABA), was designed and introduced to construct novel metal−organic framework materials with potential luminescent properties. Four complexes, Zn2(BOABA)(OH)·H2O (1), Zn4(BOABA)2(4,4′-bipy)2(OH)2·H2O·0.5CH3CH2OH (2), Cd3(BOABA)2(H2O)6·6H2O (3), and Cd4(BOABA)2(phen)4(OH)2·H2O (4), were synthesized hydrothermally and characterized. 1 features an unusual 5-connected 46.64 uninodal net with both the dinuclear Zn(II) unit and the BOABA ligand being the square pyramidal nodes. 2 presents an interesting three-dimensional (3,8)-connected network constructed from pillared undulate layers, which shows large one-dimensional channels with dimension of 11.97 × 13.82 Å along the a axis. The self-assembly between the Cd(II) ions and the BOABA ligand leads to a bilayer motif 3, whereas the presence of the auxiliary phen ligand results in a new compound 4 with monolayer construction based on tetranuclear [Cd4(OH)2]6+ clusters. Photoluminescence studies reveal that these four complexes exhibit strong fluorescent emission bands in the solid state at room temperature. The theoretic calculations show that four complexes are indirect band gap semiconductors and the fluorescent emission peaks could be attributed to the ligand−ligand charge transfer. The thermal stabilities of these complexes were also examined.
