Like the blossoming cherry trees of April, our research has borne results. With great joy, we announce the publication of two papers in Inorganic Chemistry.

The first paper is from Fuerkaiti Tayier, about the synthesis of three new RuMOPs and the calculation of the number of transferred electrons. This is also Tayier’s first first-author paper. The second paper is from Tomoki Tateshi, in which he explores the structure−porosity relationship of the amorphous solids of MOP.

Congratulations to both of them. You can see from the photo that they are also very happy. They celebrated the publication of the paper together under the cherry blossom.
At the same time, we would like to thank everyone who contributed to the paper. It is the joint efforts of everyone that produced these two papers.

First paper
“Redox-active ruthenium-organic polyhedra with tunable surface functionality and porosities”
Fuerkaiti Tayier, Javier Troyano, Shun Tokuda, Zaoming Wang, Masa-aki Haga, Shuhei Furukawa
Inorg. Chem. 2024, 63, 5559–5567. DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.3c04530
(Chemrxiv DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-cm4hv)

Synopsis: Three novel ruthenium-based redox-active metal−organic polyhedra with permanent porosity were synthesized. The multielectron transferred process, as well as the porous properties, were elucidated by electrochemical and N2 sorption measurements, respectively.

Second paper
“Statistical distribution of binary ligands within rhodium–organic octahedra tunes microporosity in their assemblies”
Tomoki Tateishi, Javier Troyano, Shun Tokuda, Gavin A. Craig, Simon Krause, Alfredo López-Olvera, Ilichi A. Ibarra, Shuhei Furukawa
Inorg. Chem. 2024in press. DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c00964
(ChemRxiv DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2024-s0765)

Synopsis: A mixed-ligand strategy is used to statistically distribute two distinct carbazole-type ligands within rhodium-based octahedral MOPs for revealing the structure−porosity relationship of the resulting amorphous solids of MOPs.
