Phosphonium Fullerides: Isolable Zwitterionic Adducts of a Phosphine with C60
Although fullerene derivatization has been extensively studied for decades, zwitterionic adducts with neutral Lewis bases are rare, and those with tertiary phosphines remain elusive. This work presents a combined experimental…
A ferroelectric proton conductor with colossal polarization induced by in-plane symmetry breaking in a two-dimensional coordination polymer
Noncentrosymmetric two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers/metal–organic frameworks (CPs/MOFs) are very rare and their functionalities have not been explored. Herein, we report the first 2D ferroelectric proton conductor based on cyanido-bridged undulating…
All-component active metal-organic frameworks for tailored chemoradiotherapy of self-defensive tumor
Radiotherapy is a widely used clinical treatment for locoregional cancers, but still faces with radiation resistance arising from abundant glutathione (GSH) and DNA damage repair (DDR). To overcome these self-defensive…
