This review article highlights the state of the art in solid-state SEC (ultraviolet–visible–near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR), infrared (IR), Raman, photoluminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopy) relevant to interrogating solid-state materials, particularly those in the burgeoning field of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).

A new CoII-based metal-organic framework has been prepared, which could be applied as a catalyst for CO2 fixation under mild conditions and shows protective effect against systemic Staphylococcus aureus infection in the Department of Ultrasound.

Six structurally diverse sulphonamide-based ligands and monodentate N-donor co-ligands were used to obtain new palladium(II) complexes, which have been used to study C–C coupling catalysis. It was concluded that coordinative saturation is undesirable and that steric repulsion between the synthesised ligands and the bulkier co-ligands aided the generation of vacant coordination sites for the more active complexes.

Functionalised quinacridones can act as both pigments and n-type materials in optoelectronic devices. To date, approaches to structural modifications have been limited in scope. An alternative route to selectively activating quinacridone carbonyl groups provides a means for accessing a diverse library of substituted quinacridone derivatives.

CH20018Temozolomide-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles@Hydrogel for Local Treatment of Tumour
![Graphical Abstract Image](/temp/CH20018_TOC.jpg)
A new temozolomide (TMZ) formulation for local chemotherapy of glioblastoma was prepared by incorporating TMZ-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles into MRI-visible injectable hydrogel of hydroxypropyl chitosan/diaryaldehyde PEG. The good drug-loading capacity, retarded release and in situ gelation of the hydrogel facilitate the compact filling of the operation cavity and sustained release of TMZ.

Multi-responsive spherical polyelectrolyte brushes were adopted as a good absorbent for protein due to the Donna effect and electrostatic interactions. The adsorption and release process could be triggered by pH, ionic strength, temperature, or CO2/N2. For a gas trigger, salt accumulation was avoided even after many cycles.
CH20074Chiral BINAPO Induced Circularly Polarized Luminescence in a Triple-Stranded Eu2L3(BINAPO)2 Helicate
![Graphical Abstract Image](/temp/CH20074_TOC.jpg)
Chiral R/S-BINAPO induces an achiral bis-β-diketone ligand to assemble with Eu3+ to form a pair of enantiomeric helicates with excellent circularly polarized luminescence properties.

A novel compound has been synthesised and characterised, which exhibits distinct aggregation-induced emission activity in EtOH/H2O and can be used as a fluorescent labelling dye in the near-infrared region to track mitochondria in living cells.
