In the structures of the title salts, poly[[μ4-4-(3,5-dinitropyrazol-4-yl)-3,5-dinitropyrazol-1-ido]rubidium], [Rb(C6HN8O8)] n , (1), and its isostructural caesium analogue [Cs(C6HN8O8) n , (2), two independent cations M1 and M2 (M = Rb, Cs) are situated on a crystallographic twofold axis and on a center of inversion, respectively. Mutual intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the conjugate 3,5-dinitopyrazole NH-donor and 3,5-dinitropyrazole N-acceptor sites of the anions [N...N = 2.785 (2) Å for (1) and 2.832 (3) Å for (2)] governs the self-assembly of the translation-related anions in a predictable fashion. Such one-component modular construction of the organic subtopology supports the utility of the crystal-engineering approach towards designing the structures of polynitro energetic materials. The anionic chains are further linked by multiple ion–dipole interactions involving the 12-coordinate cations bonded to two pyrazole N-atoms [Rb—N = 3.1285 (16), 3.2261 (16) Å; Cs—N = 3.369 (2), 3.401 (2) Å] and all of the eight nitro O-atoms [Rb—O = 2.8543 (15)–3.6985 (16) Å; Cs—O = 3.071 (2)–3.811 (2) Å]. The resulting ionic networks follow the CsCl topological archetype, with either metal or organic ions residing in an environment of eight counter-ions. Weak lone pair–π-hole interactions [pyrazole-N atoms to NO2 groups; N...N = 2.990 (3)–3.198 (3) Å] are also relevant to the packing. The Hirshfeld surfaces and percentage two-dimensional fingerprint plots for (1) and (2) are described.

Rationally regulating the reactivity of molecules or functional groups is common in organic chemistry, both in laboratory and industry synthesis. This concept can be applied to inorganic nanomaterials, particularly two-dimensional black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets. The high reactivity of few-layer (even monolayer) BP is expected to be “shut down” when not required and to be resumed upon application. Here, we demonstrate a protective chemistry–based methodology for regulating BP reactivity. The protective step initiates from binding Al3+ with lone pair electrons from P to decrease the electron density on the BP surface, and ends with an oxygen/water-resistant layer through the self-assembly of hydrophobic 1,2-benzenedithiol (BDT) on BP/Al3+. This protective step yields a stabilized BP with low reactivity. Deprotection of the obtained BP/Al3+/BDT is achieved by chelator treatment, which removes Al3+ and BDT from the BP surface. The deprotective process recovers the electron density of BP and thus restores the reactivity of BP.

Colourless crystals of the title compound, [Cd2(C7H4IO2)4(C12H10N2)(H2O)2]n, were obtained by the self-assembly of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene (bpe) and 4-iodobenzoic acid (4-IBA). Each CdIIatom is seven-coordinated in a pentagonal–bipyramidal coordination environment by four carboxylate O atoms from two different 4-IBA ligands, two O atoms from two water molecules and one N atom from a bpe ligand. The CdIIcentres are bridged by the aqua molecules and bpe ligands, which lie across centres of inversion, to give a two-dimensional net. Topologically, taking the CdIIatoms as nodes and the μ-aqua and μ-bpe ligands as linkers, the two-dimensional structure can be simplified as a (6,3) network.
