Described herein are multi-dimensional networks that can include a recurring unit of Formula (I) and a recurring unit of Formula (II), and methods of synthesizing and using the same.

Metal chelates, methods of making the metal chelate, electrolyte formulations comprising metal chelates, and electrochemical devices for energy storage using or including at least one metal chelate are disclosed. The disclosure also relates to a method to provide a metal to an electrolyte in a flow battery to plate an electrode while the electrode is in the battery.

An aspartic acid copper complex, a use thereof, and a feed composition containing said aspartic acid copper complex. The chemical structure of the aspartic acid copper complex is [(Cu(II))(Asp)(H.sub.2O).sub.m].Math.(H.sub.2O).sub.n, wherein Asp is L-Asp or DL-Asp, m is any integer from 0 to 10, and n is any value from 0 to 10. The present aspartic acid copper complex is applied to animal breeding. Calculated using the copper element, a physiological requirement usage amount may promote the growth of livestock and poultry at all stages of the growth cycle, and during high dose use, and the growth performance of the animals is normal under high-dose use, thereby overcoming problems such as excessive use of high-dose inorganic copper in the breeding industry being harmful for animals.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a crystalline solid from glycine-N,N-diacetic acid derivatives (e.g., MGDA) of sufficiently low hygroscopicity, which is characterized in that at least one crystalline compound of the formula I is introduced as seed, and a spray granulation is carried out with at least one compound of the formula I, preferably followed by a heat treatment.
