An open-framework zinc-cobalt phosphate CoZnPO4-V with 16-ring extra-large-pore channels has been obtained in the presence of chain-type polyamines as the structure directing agent (SDA). Its large single crystal suited for structure refinement has been prepared with the assistance of small organic amines. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that CoZnPO4-V is a novel metal phosphate. It crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c (No. 14), with a = 31.936(3) , b = 8.3775(7) , c = 15.7874(13) , α = γ = 90°, β = 97.0530(10)°, V = 4191.8(6) 3, and Z = 4 with R1 = 0.0455,wR2 = 0.0869. Its three-dimensional framework can be considered as stacking from two-dimensional nets and one-dimensional units as linkers. Between the stacking nets and linkers are located extra-large channels with 16-ring apertures.

A simple method to prepare titania nanomaterials of core-shell structure, hollow nanospheres and mesoporous nanoparticles has been developed. The core-shell nanostructures with NH4Cl as core and TiO2·xH2O-NH4Cl as shell were prepared in nonaqueous system by the deposition on the surface of the aggregated NH4Cl crystals, which could be transformed into mesoporous anatase nanoparticles or hollow nanospheres by calcination at 500℃ or extraction with methanol, respectively. The hierarchical mesoporous nanostructures benefited the photocatalytic activities of the resultant titania nanomateri-als, demonstrated by the UV light photodegradation of Methyl Orange.
Porous hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanorods with the diameter of 20-40 nm and the length of 80-300 nm were synthesized by a simple surfactant-assisted method in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).The α-Fe2O3 nanorods possess a mesostructure with a pore size distribution in the range of 5-12 nm and high surface area,exhibiting high catalytic activity for CO oxidation.CuO nanocrystals were loaded on the surface of porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods by a deposition-precipitation method,and the catalysts exhibited superior activity for catalytic oxidation of CO,as compared with commercial α-Fe2O3 powders supported CuO catalyst.The enhanced catalytic activity was attributed to the strong interaction between the CuO nanocrystals and the support of porous α-Fe2O3 nanorods.
