A new iridium complex, IrCp*Cl(PyPyz)[TFSI], has been synthesized and used as additive for the hole transporter material, spiro-OMeTAD, in perovskite solar cells. The cells prepared with this Ir additive present higher efficiency than reference cells, and similar to cells prepared with Co additive. We have determined…

Employment of semirigid double-hinged di-1,2,4-triazoles has led to the synthesis of an isostructural series of metal-organic nanotubes (MONTs). The ditriazole ligands adopt a syn conformation between rigid metal chains while an appropriate anion choice provides a "capping" of the metal ions, leading to MONT formation…

A series of dual-metal zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) crystals with SOD and RHO topologies was synthesised by metal substitution from ZIF-108 (Zn(2-nitroimidazolate)2 , SOD topology) as the parent material. This was based on the concept that metal substitution of ZIF-108 requires a much lower activation energy t…
