In this study, the construction of a highly negatively charged layered material [CH3CH2NH3]6In6S12 (InS-1) by introducing a lacunary cluster as the building block is reported. The pronounced framework negative charge density (5.59 × 10−3) and the soft Lewis basic S component endow InS-1 with an effective ion exchange performance toward heavier Sr2+, with a top-level adsorption capacity qm of 105.35 mg g−1. InS-1 exhibits a good exchange activity over pH 3–12, and the Sr2+-laden product can be facilely eluted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Presented here is the deep eutectic solvothermal synthesis of an open framework copper selenidogermanate, namely [NH3CH3]0.75Cu1.25GeSe3 (CuGeSe-1), which exhibits a rapid and effective Cs+ ion exchange performance (qm = 225.3 mg g−1). CuGeSe-1 shows a structural flexibility upon Cs+ exchange. The robust selenide-based framework contributes to an excellent pH stability (1–12). The Cs+-laden product could be facilely eluted.

We report the synthesis, photophysical behavior, and biological properties of new cyclometalated iridium(iii) polypyridine complexes appended with a dibenzocyclooctyne (DIBO) moiety; these complexes have been utilized as the first phosphorescent bioorthogonal probes for azide-modified biomolecules.
