(Summary) We propose using cocrystals as effective polarization matrices for triplet dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) at room temperature. The polarization source can be uniformly doped into cocrystals formed through acid-acid, amide-amide, and acid-amide synthons. The dense-packing crystal structures, facilitated by multiple hydrogen bonding and ϖ-ϖ interactions, result in extended relaxation times, enabling efficient polarization diffusion within the crystals. Our study demonstrates the successful polarization of a DNP-magnetic resonance imaging molecular probe, such as urea, within a cocrystal matrix at room temperature using triplet-DNP.

(Summary) The hyperpolarization of biomolecules at room temperature could facilitate highly sensitive magnetic resonance imaging for metabolic studies and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based screenings for drug discovery. In this study, we demonstrate the hyperpolarization of biomolecules in eutectic crystals using photoexcited triplet electrons at room temperature. Eutectic crystals composed of the domains of benzoic acid doped with the polarization source and analyte domains were prepared using a melting-quenching process. Spin diffusion between the benzoic acid and analyte domain was elucidated using solid-state NMR analysis, indicating that hyperpolarization was transferred from the domain of benzoic acid to the domain of the analyte.

(Summary) Understanding the adsorption and diffusional dynamics of CO in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is essential in the application of these materials to CO capture and separation. We show that the dynamics of adsorbed CO is related to the rotational motion of ligands located in the narrow pore windows of a MOF using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR analyses of local dynamics reveal that CO adsorbed in the pore hinders the rotation of the ligands. The rate of diffusion of adsorbed CO monitored by C NMR is much less than that in the larger pores of MOFs and decreases cooperatively with ligand mobility, which indicates that the rate of diffusion is influenced by the steric hindrance of the rotatory ligands. Adsorbed CH also showed slow diffusion in the MOF, suggesting molecular size-selective effect of the mobile steric hindrance on the rate of adsorbate diffusion.

(Summary) The application of high-resolution NMR analysis for CO2 adsorbed in a MOF under high pressure is reported for the first time. The results showed that CO2 adsorbed in MOF-74 had an unusually slow mobility (τ ∼ 10-8 s). CO2-CO2 interactions suppressed the mobility of CO2 under high pressure, which, in turn, would have contributed to the stability of CO2 at the adsorption sites.

(Summary) We first report the systematic control of the reactivity of HO vapor in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Pt nanocrystals (NCs) through ligand functionalization. We successfully synthesized Pt NCs covered with a water-stable MOF, UiO-66 (Pt@UiO-66), having different metal ions or functionalized ligands. The ligand functionalization of UiO-66 significantly affected the catalytic performance of the water-gas shift reaction, and the replacement of Zr ions with Hf ions in UiO-66 had no impact on the catalytic activity. The introduction of a -Br group lowered the reactivity of Pt@UiO-66 by nearly half, whereas the substitution of -Br with a -Me group triply enhanced the activity. The origin of the enhanced catalytic activity was found to be the change in HO activity in the UiO-66 pores by the ligand functionalization, which was investigated using HO sorption, solid-state NMR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and in situ IR measurements. This work opens a new prospect to develop MOFs as a platform to activate HO.

(Summary) Design to store gas molecules, such as CO , H , and CH , under low pressure is one of the most important challenges in chemistry and materials science. Herein, we describe the storage of CO in the cavities of a porous coordination polymer (PCP) using molecular rotor dynamics. Owing to the narrow pore windows of PCP, CO was not adsorbed at 195 K. As the temperature increased, the rotors exhibited rotational modes; such rotations dynamically expanded the size of the windows, leading to CO adsorption. The rotational frequencies of the rotors (k≈10 s) and correlation times of adsorbed CO (τ≈10 s) were elucidated via solid-state NMR studies, which suggest that the slow rotation of the rotors sterically restricts CO diffusion in the pores. This restriction results in an unusually slow CO mobility close to solid state (τ≥10 s). Once adsorbed at room temperature, CO is robustly stored in the PCP under vacuum at 195-233 K because of the steric hindrance of the rotors. We also demonstrate that this mechanism can be applied to the storage of CH .

(Summary) We describe the encapsulation of mobile proton carriers into defect sites in nonporous coordination polymers (CPs). The proton carriers were encapsulated with high mobility and provided high proton conductivity at 150 °C under anhydrous conditions. The high proton conductivity and nonporous nature of the CP allowed its application as an electrolyte in a fuel cell. The defects and mobile proton carriers were investigated using solid-state NMR, XAFS, XRD, and ICP-AES/EA. On the basis of these analyses, we concluded that the defect sites provide space for mobile uncoordinated H3PO4, H2PO4(-), and H2O. These mobile carriers play a key role in expanding the proton-hopping path and promoting the mobility of protons in the coordination framework, leading to high proton conductivity and fuel cell power generation.

(Summary) An amorphous and metastable precursor for a Zn two-dimensional coordination framework was synthesised via freeze drying. The precursor comprises randomly packed discrete clusters of a Zn complex. The amorphous-to-crystalline framework transformation, which was triggered by the gentle application of heat or pressure, was accompanied by a change in the coordination geometry of the Zn2+ ions from tetrahedral to octahedral symmetry.

(Summary) Rational design to control the dynamics of molecular rotors in crystalline solids is of interest because it offers advanced materials with precisely tuned functionality. Herein, we describe the control of the rotational frequency of rotors in flexible porous coordination polymers (PCPs) using a solid-solution approach. Solid-solutions of the flexible PCPs [{Zn(5-nitroisophthalate)x(5-methoxyisophthalate)1-x(deuterated 4,4'-bipyridyl)}(DMF·MeOH)]n allow continuous modulation of cell volume by changing the solid-solution ratio x. Variation of the isostructures provides continuous changes in the local environment around the molecular rotors (pyridyl rings of the 4,4'-bipyridyl group), leading to the control of the rotational frequency without the need to vary the temperature.

(Summary) The establishment of methodologies for the mixing of immiscible substances is highly desirable to facilitate the development of fundamental science and materials technology. Herein we describe a new protocol for the compatibilization of immiscible polymers at the molecular level using porous coordination polymers (PCPs) as removable templates. In this process, the typical immiscible polymer pair of polystyrene (PSt) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was prepared via the successive homopolymerizations of their monomers in a PCP to distribute the polymers inside the PCP particles. Subsequent dissolution of the PCP frameworks in a chelator solution affords a PSt/PMMA blend that is homogeneous in the range of several nanometers. Due to the unusual compatibilization, the thermal properties of the polymer blend are remarkably improved compared with the conventional solvent-cast blend. This method is also applicable to the compatibilization of PSt and polyacrylonitrile, which have very different solubility parameters.

(Summary) The solid-to-liquid phase transition, a fundamental process commonly observed for various types of substances with significant potential for application, has been given little attention in the field of coordination polymers (CPs) despite the rich functionality of these compounds. In this article, we report the reversible solid-to-liquid phase transition of crystalline CPs. These CPs are composed of zinc ions, phosphate, and azoles, and a well-balanced composition, ionicity, and bond strength afford "melting" CPs. We examined the structure of one such melting framework in the liquid and glass states and found that the coordination bonds are not fully preserved in the liquid state but are re-formed in the glass state. As a demonstration, we fabricated, via phase transition, a thin film with an aligned crystal orientation and a monolith crystal of the CP.

(Summary) Novel organic-inorganic hybrid liposomes, so-called coordination polymersomes (CPsomes), with artificial domains that exhibit strong lateral cohesion were prepared by a three-step procedure that formed a coordinative interaction leading to a lipid bilayer. First, the lipophilic complex (dabco-C18)[Mn(N)(CN)4(dabco-C18)] (1; dabco-C18(+)=1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane-(CH2)17-CH3 cation), was synthesized. 1 has a lipophilic alkyl tail part and a tetracyanometallate head group, which can be used for an expansion to two-dimensional coordination networks. Second, 1 and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine were mixed to prepare the liposomes. Finally, CPsomes were obtained by the addition of transition-metal ions (M) to form unilamellar faceted liposomes with plain CP raft domains with Mn-CN-M linkages. The concentration of 1 influences the size of the CP raft domains and the shape of the CPsomes. The synthesis of coordination polymers in lipid bilayers is a novel approach for the construction of artificial architectures as raft domains, for example, in cell membranes.

(Summary) We report the synthesis and characterization of a coordination polymer that exhibits both intrinsic proton conductivity and gas adsorption. The coordination polymer, consisting of zinc ions, benzimidazole, and orthophosphate, exhibits a degree of flexibility in that it adopts different structures before and after dehydration. The dehydrated form shows higher intrinsic proton conductivity than the original form, reaching as high as 1.3 x 10(-3) S cm(-1) at 120 degrees C. We found that the rearranged conduction path and liquid-like behavior of benzimidazole molecules in the channel of the framework afforded the high proton conductivity. Of the two forms of the framework, only the dehydrated form is porous to methanol and demonstrates guest-accessible space in the structure. The proton conductivity of the dehydrated form increases by 24 times as a result of the in situ adsorption of methanol molecules, demonstrating the dual functionality of the framework. NMR studies revealed a hydrogen-bond interaction between the framework and methanol, which enables the modulation of proton conductivity within the framework.

(Summary) We have synthesized four porous coordination polymers (PCPs) using Zn(2+), 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoate (sdb), and four types of dinitrogen linker ligands, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (dabco), 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)benzene (bpb), 3,6-bis(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (bpt), and 4,4'-bipyridyl (bpy). The bent sdb ligands form a rhombic space connected by zinc paddle-wheel units to form a one-dimensional double chain, and each dinitrogen ligand linked the one-dimensional double chains. There are different assembled structures of two-dimensional sheets with the same connectivities between Zn(2+) and the organic ligands. [Zn2(sdb)2(dabco)]n (1) has a noninterpenetrated and noninterdigitated structure, [Zn2(sdb)2(bpb)]n (2) and [Zn2(sdb)2(bpt)]n (3) have interdigitated structures, and [Zn2(sdb)2(bpy)]n (4) has an interpenetrated structure. The length of the dinitrogen ligands dominated their assembled structures and flexibility, which influence the adsorption properties. The flexible frameworks of 2 and 3 provide different stepwise adsorption behaviors for CO2, CH4, C2H6, and C2H4 affected by their pore diameters and the properties of the gases. Their different adsorption properties were revealed by IR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis under a gas atmosphere. The framework of 4 possesses less flexibility and a smaller void space than the others and a negligible amount of CH4 was adsorbed; however, 4 can adsorb either C2H6 or C2H4 through the gate-opening phenomenon. Measurement of the solid-state (2)H NMR was also carried out to investigate the relationship between the framework structure and the dynamics of bpy with regard to the lower flexibility of 4. We have demonstrated a strategy to control the pore size and assembled structures toward selective adsorption properties of PCPs.

(Summary) We synthesized a coordination polymer consisting of Zn(2+), 1,2,4-triazole, and orthophosphates, and demonstrated for the first time intrinsic proton conduction by a coordination network. The compound has a two-dimensional layered structure with extended hydrogen bonds between the layers. It shows intrinsic proton conductivity along the direction parallel to the layers, as elucidated by impedance studies of powder and single crystals. From the low activation energy for proton hopping, the conduction mechanism was found to be of the Grotthuss fashion. The hopping is promoted by rotation of phosphate ligands, which are aligned on the layers at appropriate intervals.

(Summary) We present a new approach to nondestructive magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) for thin films. In this scheme, the sample put on the top of a rotor is spun using the conventional MAS system, and the NMR signals are detected with an additional coil. Stable spinning of disk-shaped samples with diameters of 7 mm and 12 mm at 14.2 and 7 kHz are feasible. We present 7Li MAS NMR experiments of a thin-film sample of LiCoO2 with a thickness of 200 nm. Taking advantage of the nondestructive feature of the experiment, we also demonstrate ex situ experiments, by tracing conformation change upon annealing for various durations. This approach opens the door for in situ MAS NMR of thin-film devices as well.

(Summary) Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) has been attracting attention as an anode material for lithium ion batteries due to its structural stability and good cycle characteristics. However, the electrical conductivity of LTO is low because of its insulating ionic crystal structure. In this study, we aimed to improve the ionic conductivity of LTO by forming lattice defects in the LTO crystal, which would be advantageous for ionic diffusion, using the mechanical milling method. Fabricating oxygen deficient LTOs was also carried out for an enhancement of the electronic conduction. Their modifications to LTO resulted in different effects of the ionic and electronic conductivity of LTO. They were analyzed and discussed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electrical conductivity measurements.

(Summary) Local structure and Li+ ion motion in spinel Li-Ti oxides (LTO) have been studied with complex impedance and broadband NMR techniques. XRD profiles of LTO milled showed weakening and broadening of reflection peaks because of local lattice distortions in LTO. LTO milled for 10 h showed lower activation energy in conductivity compared to non-milled sample. 7Li NMR spectra of LTO milled showed characteristic changes with temperature and milling, implying that distinct Li+ ion motions would develop in the LTO system.

(Summary) リチウムイオン2次電池の負極材料としてのスピネル型チタン酸リチウム(LTO)はLiの挿入脱離反応において体積膨張率が小さいことからひずみの影響を受けにくくサイクル特性が良いとされるが，電子伝導性は高くなく伝導性向上のための取り組みが進められている．LTOにおける電気伝導挙動を明らかにするために，メカニカルミリング法を用いて結晶構造中に構造擾乱を誘起することで局所的に格子ひずみを導入し，局所構造の変化に対する伝導挙動の変化を電気伝導度測定と7Li-NMR測定の結果を議論した．ミリング処理によりXRDパターンは拡がり，回折強度の大きく減少したことからミリングにより結晶構造内にひずみなど擾乱が導入されたことが分かった．ミリングされた試料のstatic NMRスペクトルにはLi+イオンの運動状態を反映した2つのスペクトルが重畳して見られる．運動状態にあるLi⁺イオンの割合がミリング時間の増加にしたがい大きく増大することが分かった．ニオブ酸リチウムでは最大で10%程度のLi⁺イオンが運動状態に移るが，LTOでは10hミリングで20%程度のLi+イオンが運動状態にあると考えられる．

(Summary) 7Li NMR and electrical conductivity measurements have been performed to study milling effects on ionic motion and local structure in lithium transition-metal oxides, LiNbO₃, LiTaO₃, Li-doped AgNbO₃, and Li-Ti oxide. Mechanical milling technique successfully induced lattice distortion/defects into their crystal structure. The motional states of Li⁺ ion with relatively low activation energy is realized by exposing to a moderate milling process in these systems. Instability of Li sites would be strongly connected with local lattice distortion and defects, and it would be useful for controlling Li⁺ ionic motion in oxides.

(Summary) リチウムイオン2次電池の負極材料としてのスピネル型Li₄Ti₅O₁₂(LTO)はLiの挿入脱離反応において体積膨張率が小さいことからひずみの影響を受けにくくサイクル特性が良いとされるが，電子伝導性は高くなく伝導性向上のための取り組みが進められている．LTOにおける電気伝導挙動を明らかにするために，メカニカルミリング法を用いて結晶構造中に構造擾乱を誘起することで局所的に格子ひずみを導入し，その際の局所構造の変化に対する伝導挙動の変化を調べた．LTOの複素抵抗率の虚部𝜌 の周波数依存性にはデバイ型緩和の振る舞いが見られ，その周波数依存性から，ミリングにより活性化エネルギーが低下することが分かった．

(Summary) Local structure and electrical resistivity of spinel Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ (LTO) have been studied with a complex impedance technique. XRD profile of LTO exposed to milling indicated weakening and broadening of reflection peaks, implying that lattice disturbance is caused in the crystal structure. The temperature dependence of the imaginary resistivity of LTO exposed to 10 h milling yielded low activation energy of 0.31 eV. This means that lattice disturbance induced in 10 h milling LTO would effectively cause lowering of the activation energy.

(Summary) Na_xCoO₂をはじめとする層状Na遷移金属酸化物は，リチウムイオン二次電池に代わる次世代二次電池の正極材料として注目されている．Na_xMO₂ (M=Co, Cr)に着目し，電気伝導度と²3Na 核のスピン-格子緩和時間T₁の温度依存性から，Na⁺イオンの運動状態や局所構造について議論した．電気伝導度の温度依存性からNa_xCoO₂においてx=1, 0.9, 0.8に対して，それぞれ1.15eV，0.98eV，0.76eVとなり，Na_xCo_{2}O₂での活性化エネルギー(x=0.8で0.39eV，x=0.5で0.37eV)に比べて大きな値を示した．Na_xCrO₂のNa層内でのキャリアホッピング障壁が大きく，伝導度がNa_xCoO₂に比べ小さい一因と考えられる．

(Summary) Layered oxides such as NaxMO2 (M = Co, Cr) have been studied as electrodes for replacing the lithium ion batteries. The relaxation time T1 of 23Na nucleus in Na0.8CoO2 decreased in the range from 180 K to 300 K and increased above 300 K. Temperature dependence of Electrical conductivity NaxCoO2 and NaxCrO2 shows that electric conduction of NaxCoO2 becomes larger than that of NaxCrO2.These results suggest that the crystal structure of NaxCoO2 becomes locally disordered. It is considered that the crystal structure of NaxCoO2 is unstable, and related to the improvement Na+ ion diffusion.

(Summary) Na_xCoO₂をはじめとする層状酸化物は，リチウムイオン二次電池に代わる次世代型二次電池の正極材料として注目され，近年活発に研究されている．Na_xCoO₂におけるイオンの運動状態に着目し，電気伝導度測定やNMR(核磁気共鳴)法を用いた²³Naにおけるスピン-格子緩和時間T₁の結果から，Na⁺イオンの運動状態や局所構造について議論した．250K以下での23Na-NMR スペクトルは1本の中心線を示すが，室温以上ではCo副格子の局所的な変化にともなう電場勾配の変化の影響で四重極相互作用の2次の粉末図形スペクトルを示したが，700Kまでの高温度域でもスペクトルの先鋭化は見られなかった．Na_xCrO₂の電気伝導度における活性化エネルギーはNa組成に依存し0.7∼1eVと見積もられ，Na_xCoO₂(∼0.4eV)に比べ大きい．NaxCrO2の四重極相互作用はNa_xCoO₂より小さく，四重極相互作用の1次の粉末図形が観測された．

(Summary) Olivine-type LiMPO₄ (M=Fe and Mn) has been studied as a cathode material for lithium ion secondary batteries. The XRD peak broadening and peak shift of LiFePO₄ at high temperatures suggest that the crystal structure around Li sites becomes locally disordered. The NMR line width and the spin-lattice relaxation time, T₁, for ⁷Li nucleus of LiFePO₄ depended on temperature from 550K to 700K, while those of LiMnPO₄ did not show a remarkable temperature dependence up to 700K. The results imply that a local structural change of LiFePO₄ at high temperatures is related to the motion of a part of Li⁺ ions.

The peak broadening of XRD pattern of LiFePO₄ at high temperatures suggests that the crystal structure around Li sites becomes locally disordered. It is considered that these situations would stimulate Li⁺ ion dynamics related to changes of the NMR line width and T₁ at high temperatures.

(Summary) ²³Na NMR and electrical conductivity measurements have been performed to study milling effects on ion conducting behavior and local structure of NaNbO3 exposed to milling. A complex MAS NMR spectrum attributed to Na(1) and Na(2) sites was dependent on milling time as well as XRD patterns. It was found that inequivalent local structures around Na sites of NaNbO3 are disturbed severely by milling. This structural change is considered to be connected with the Na+ ion conductivity with the activation energy of 0.3~0.4 eV because narrowing in the NMR line widths and changes in electrical conductivity were observed at high temperatures.

Antimagnetic spin correlation was dominant at low temperatures in the NMR spectrum and relaxation time of both samples, while changes in the line width and relaxation time were observed in LiFePO₄ above 550K.

(Summary) Non-linear ultrasonic resonance measurement with acoustic echo (phonon echo) has been applied to detect indirectly ion motion in solids. The relaxation time, T₂, of SiO₂ particles with a small amount of LiNbO₃ particles was different from that of SiO₂ particles above 600K. The T₂ values were significantly dependent on temperature. A simple Debye model was applied to interpret its temperature dependence, and derived thermal activation energy would be related to an activation energy for the Li⁺ ion motion These results suggest that the indirect measurement is available to detect the Li⁺ ion motion in solids.
