Axial Oxygen Ligands Regulating Electronic and Geometric Structure of Zn‐N‐C Sites to Boost Oxygen Reduction Reaction by Qiuyan Jin, Chenhui Wang, Yingying Guo, Yuhang Xiao, Xiaohong Tan, Jianpo Chen, Weidong He, Yan Li, Hao Cui, Chengxin Wang

“…Here, guided by theoretical calculations, five‐fold coordinated single‐atom Zn sites with four in‐plane N ligands is constructed and one axial O ligand (Zn‐N4‐O) by ionic liquid‐assisted molten salt template method. Additional axial O not only triggers a geometry transformation from the planar structure of Zn‐N4 to the non‐planar structure of Zn‐N4‐O, but also induces the electron transfer from Zn center to neighboring atoms and lower the d‐band center of Zn atom, which weakens the adsorption strength of *OH and decreases the energy barrier of rate determining step of ORR. …”

Effective Combination of the Metal Centers in MOF-Based Materials toward Sustainable Oxidation Catalysts by Alexandre M. Viana, Francisca Leonardes, Marta C. Corvo, Salete S. Balula, Luís Cunha-Silva

“…The presence of Zn²⁺ in the composite material PMo₁₂@ZIF-8 instead of Co²⁺ in PMo₁₂@ZIF-67 caused a remarkable increase in the catalytic activity that achieved a total oxidative desulfurization of a multicomponent model diesel under moderate and friendly conditions (oxidant: H₂O₂ and solvent: ionic liquid, IL). Interestingly, the parent ZIF-8-based composite with the Keggin-type polyoxotungstate (H₃[PW₁₂O₄₀], PW₁₂), PW₁₂@ZIF-8, did not show the relevant catalytic activity. …”
