T1 - In situ time-resolved monitoring of mixed-ligand metal–organic framework mechanosynthesis
N2 - The mechanism of mixed-ligand metal–organic framework (MOF) formation, and the possible role of intermediate single-ligand metal complexes during mechanosynthesis, have not been explored yet. For the first time, we report here in situ real-time monitoring of the mechanochemical formation mechanism of mixed-ligand MOFs. Our results show that binary phases can act as intermediates or competing products in one-pot and stepwise synthesis.

T1 - Mechanochemical comparison of ball milling processes for levofloxacin amorphous polymeric systems
N2 - This study aimed to investigate the amorphization capabilities of levofloxacin hemihydrate (LVXh), a fluoroquinolone drug, using a polymer excipient, Eudragit® L100 (EL100). Ball milling (BMing) was chosen as the manufacturing process and multiple mill types were utilized for comparison purposes. The product outcomes of each mill were analyzed in detail. The solid-state of the samples produced was comprehensively characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), In-situ PXRD, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Solid-State Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS). The crystallographic planes of LVXh were investigated by in-situ PXRD to disclose the presence or absence of weak crystallographic plane(s). The mechanism of LVXh:EL100 system formation was discovered as a two-step process, first involving amorphization of LVXh followed by an interaction with EL100, rather than as an instantaneous process. DVS studies of LVXh:EL100 samples showed different stability properties depending on the mill used and % LVXh present. Overall, a more sustainable approach for achieving full amorphization of the fluoroquinolone drug, LVXh, was accomplished, and advancements to the fast-growing world of pharmaceutical mechano- and tribo-chemistry were made.

T1 - Utilizing Taguchi method and in situ X-ray powder diffraction monitoring to determine the influence of mechanical activation conditions on the physico-chemical properties and Al leachability of K-feldspar
N2 - K-feldspar represents an important natural resource of potassium and aluminum. Within the framework of this study, the K-feldspar was mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill under different conditions planned according to 43 Taguchi orthogonal array experimental design. As outputs, specific surface area (SBET), median particle size (d50), amorphization degree of mineral phases , and Al recovery were used. It was found that the initial d50 value of 293 μm could be reduced to 6.7 μm and the SBET value of 4.7 m2/g could be increased up to 32.5 m2/g upon milling. Both microcline KAl3SiO8, and albite NaAl3SiO8 could be almost completely amorphized, whereas quartz SiO2 still maintained some crystallinity even under the most intensive conditions. Increasing SBET and decreasing the d50 values did not lead to a significant improvement in Al leach recovery, whereas a clear relationship between the amorphization of microcline and the recovered aluminum was found. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that increasing ball-to-powder ratio is the most beneficial for the improvement in Al recovery. In situ powder X-ray diffraction monitoring performed in an oscillation ball mill under synchrotron irradiation has shown very rapid amorphization of microcline phase at the beginning. However, amorphization of microcline was only partial after two hours of the treatment in this mill, apart from almost complete process in the planetary ball mill. In the end, regressions for the calculation of Al recovery by knowing the values of input parameters were calculated. In general, by just using mechanical activation without the subsequent roasting process that is commonly used to boost metal recoveries, it was possible to quantitatively recover aluminum from K-feldspar.

T1 - Heteropolyaromatic Covalent Organic Frameworks via One-Pot Multicomponent Reactions
N2 - Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) offer a platform to create different chemical structures and linkages for highly stable covalent organic frameworks (COFs). As an illustrative example, the multicomponent Povarov reaction generates 2,4-phenylquinoline from aldehydes and amines in the presence of electron-rich alkenes. In this study, we introduce a new domino reaction to generate unprecedented 2,3-phenylquinoline COFs in the presence of epoxystyrene. This work thus presents, for the first time, structural isomeric COFs produced by multicomponent domino and Povarov reactions. Furthermore, 2,3-phenylquinolines can undergo a Scholl reaction to form extended aromatic linkages. With this approach, we synthesize two thermally and chemically stable MCR-COFs and two heteropolyaromatic COFs using both domino and in situ domino and Scholl reactions. The structure and properties of these COFs are compared with the corresponding 2,4-phenylquinoline-linked COF and imine-COF, and their activity toward benzene and cyclohexane sorption and separation is investigated. The position of the pendant phenyl groups within the COF pore plays a crucial role in facilitating the industrially important sorption and separation of benzene over cyclohexane. This study opens a new avenue to construct heteropolyaromatic COFs via MCR reactions.

T1 - Room-temperature superprotonic conductivity in COOH-functionalized multicomponent covalent organic frameworks
N2 - In solid materials, the development of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) networks within pores is crucial for efficient proton conductance. In this study, a chemically stable carboxylic acid-functionalized, quinoline-linked 2D microporous covalent organic framework (COF) (Qy-COOH) was synthesized using the Doebner multicomponent reaction (MCR) and compared to a similar framework lacking the –COOH functionality (Qy-H), prepared via an MC Domino reaction. The proton conductivity of the –COOH-functionalized MCR-COF was significantly enhanced, reaching 10−2 S cm−1, attributed to strong H-bonding interactions between water molecules and the dangling –COOH groups within the COF pores. In contrast, the analogous Qy-H framework exhibited a much lower proton conductivity of 10−5 S cm−1, while an imine-based COF showed only 10−6 S cm−1. This work represents the first demonstration of a general strategy to achieve efficient proton conduction in a class of layered 2D –COOH-functionalized COFs, offering superprotonic conductivity without requiring additives at room temperature. The MCR-COF design approach provides a promising pathway for developing highly stable and high-performance proton-conducting materials.

T1 - Thermally Robust 1D Cu(I) Phosphonate Coordination Polymer Exhibiting Enhanced Proton Conductivity via Humidity‐Driven Pathways
N2 - The development of thermally stable solid-state proton conductors (SSPCs) is crucial for advancing energy-conversion devices such as proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this work, we report the solvothermal synthesis and characterization of a novel, 1D Cu(I) coordination polymer, {Cu(ADP)0.5(BPY)}n (BAM-5), based on anthracenediylphosphonate (H2ADP) and 4,40 -bipyridine (BPY). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that BAM-5 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 and shows a 1D ladder structure connected by the H2ADP and organic BPY linkers, which is assembled into a 2D layer via O−H···O hydrogen bonding interactions between uncoordinated oxygen and the O−H of the phosphonate group. Thermogravimetric and dynamic water sorption analysis demonstrated exceptional thermal robustness of BAM-5 until 230°C and notable water affinity. Proton conductivity measurements found increasing proton conductive properties with increasing temperature and relative humidity.The latter is correlated with the material’s water uptake since the structure itself does not contain any permanent lattice water molecules. A maximum proton conductivity of 6.6 × 10−6 S cm−1 was found at 80°C and 98% RH. To the best of our knowledge, no dense, nonporous 1D coordination polymer without lattice or coordinated solvent molecules has shown comparable proton con� ductivity. The high activation energy suggests a combination of both, a Grotthuss-type proton hopping through the hydrogen� bonded framework, and a vehicular process, in which protons are carried along with absorbed water molecules.

T1 - Mechanochemically Synthesized Covalent Organic Framework Effectively Captures PFAS Contaminants
N2 - Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants that pose significant health risks, prompting urgent efforts to develop effective removal methods and adsorbers. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are metal‐free adsorbers with high stability and tunable porosity. A highly crystalline COF is synthesised mechanochemically using 1,3,5‐tris(4‐aminophenyl)benzene (TAPB) and 1,3,5‐triformylbenzene (TFB). The formation dynamics are monitored in real time with time‐resolved in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction. The TAPB‐TFB COF demonstrates good efficiency in eliminating PFAS from water. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are effectively extracted, and most of the adsorption occurred within the first 10 min. Additionally, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and DFT calculations are employed to elucidate the molecular interactions between PFAS and the COF framework. The rapid and efficient removal of PFAS makes TAPB‐TFB COF a promising material for water treatment applications.

T1 - Inhibition of Human Colorectal Cancer by a Natural Product 7-Acetylhorminone and Interactions with BSA/HSA: Multispectral Analysis and In Silico and In Vitro Studies
N2 - We have semi-synthesized a natural product 7-acetylhorminone from crude extract of Premna obtusifolia (Indian headache tree), which is active against colorectal cancer after probation through computational screening methods as it passed through the set parameters of pharmacokinetics (most important nonblood–brain barrier permeant) and drug likeliness (e.g., Lipinski’s, Ghose’s, Veber’s rule) which most other phytoconstituents failed to pass combined with docking with EGFR protein which is highly upregulated in the colorectal carcinoma cell. The structure of 7-acetylhorminone was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and COSY studies. To validate the theoretical studies, first, in vitro experiments were carried out against human colorectal carcinoma cell lines (HCT116) which revealed the potent cytotoxic efficacy of 7-acetylhorminone and verified preliminary investigation. Second, the drugability of 7-acetylhorminone interaction with serum albumin proteins (HSA and BSA) is evaluated both theoretically and experimentally via steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic studies, circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry, and molecular docking. In summary, this study reveals the applicability of 7-acetylhorminone as a potent drug candidate or as a combinatorial drug against colorectal cancer.

T1 - Simultaneously Mechanically Flexible, Photobending, and Acidochromic Cyanostilbene Molecular Crystals
N2 - Molecular crystals that respond to multiple stimuli are gaining significant attention for their potential in smart materials like actuators and sensors. However, imparting multiple stimuli-responsive properties to a single crystal remains a major challenge. Herein, we report two cyanostilbene derivative-based crystals 1 and 2, with various responses to stimuli such as mechanical stress, light, acid vapors, etc. Both crystals 1 and 2 demonstrated mechanical flexibility and reversible acidochromism. Additionally, crystal 1 also exhibited light-induced photobending, which is ascribed to Z to E photoisomerization. Detailed structure–property correlation was established to unravel distinct mechanical responses. The development of these multitasking crystals may find applications in multitasking actuators, anticounterfeiting materials, and more.

T1 - Time-Resolved InSitu Monitoring of Mechanochemical Reactions
N2 - Mechanochemical transformations offer environmentally benign synthesis routes, whilst enhancing both the speed and selec-tivity of reactions. In this light, mechanochemistry promises to trans-form the way in which chemistry is done in both academia and indus-try but is greatly hindered by a current lack in mechanistic understand-ing. The continued development and use of time-resolved in situ(TRIS) approaches to monitor mechanochemical reactions provides a new dimension to elucidatethese fascinating transformations. We here discuss recent trends in method development that have pushed the boundaries of mechanochemical research. New features of mech-anochemical reactions obtained by TRIS techniques are subse-quently discussed, shedding light on how different TRISapproaches have beenused. Emphasis is placed on the strength of combining complementary techniques. Finally, we outline our views for the po-tential of TRIS methods in mechanochemical research, towards es-tablishing a new, environmentally benign paradigm in the chemical sciences
