Stable crystal forms comprising lithium ions and the conjugate base of an organic acid which is in the form of anhydrous coordination polymer that exhibit improved in vivo performance with respect to lithium carbonate.

The present invention pertains to an anode-less lithium ion battery comprising a) a cathode comprising a cathode current collector and a cathode electro-active material on the cathode current collector; b) an anode current collector; c) a liquid electrolyte composition between the a) cathode and the b) anode current collector; and d) a separator, wherein the c) liquid electrolyte composition comprises i) at least 70% by volume (vol %) of a solvent mixture with respect to the total volume of the electrolyte composition, comprising at least one fluorinated ether compound and at least one non-fluorinated ether compound, and ii) at least one lithium salt.

The present invention relates to methods of manufacturing multiple metal propionates in a single reaction using sodium hydroxide as initiator and propionic acid as solvent. The method provides up to 95% conversion with greater than 60% yield. In addition, the method significantly reduces the cost or production by shortening reaction time, eliminating secondary mixing process, and providing simultaneous drying and micronization steps.

Complex containing betaine, transition metal and sulfate in a ratio of 1:1:1, the transition metal being coordinated with two oxygen atoms from the betaine.

The present invention relates to: a derivative in which glutamate-urea-Lysine (GUL) and isonitrile are linked by a linker; a radioisotope labeled compound comprising the derivative; and a pharmaceutical composition for treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, containing the derivative as an active ingredient. A derivative according to the present invention has high binding capacity for PSMA, which is expressed in prostate cancer, by acting as a multi-ligand through the binding of three or six derivatives to one atom of technetium or rhenium, has excellent stability in human serum when administered in vivo, and is excreted into the kidney rather than the hepatobiliary tract because of high water solubility so that a clear image of a prostate cancer tumor site can be obtained, and thus the present invention can be effectively usable as a pharmaceutical composition for treating or diagnosing prostate cancer.

Highly thermal and photo-stable inorganic-organic hybrid phosphor compounds, in which a copper (I) halide module is coordinated with a multi-dentate organic ligand. Also disclosed are semiconductor and light emitting devices comprising these materials, including light emitting diodes, and methods of preparing these materials and devices.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage material for a gas such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, or acetylene (excluding nitrogen gas) comprising a metal-organic framework comprising a hydroxamic acid group as a bonding site. A metal-organic framework comprising a multivalent metal ion and a molecule comprising an unsubstituted or substituted hydroxamic acid group and one or more sites capable of being bonded to the multivalent metal ion is contained. The molecule is preferably at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of formulas (I) to (III).
