Summary: The article discusses the structure and stability of peanut-shaped single molecular solvated dielectron formed by doping two potassium atoms into C20F20 cages, as well as the possibility of electron transfer under an external electric field. The results suggest that this structure may belong to the category of mixed-valent compounds.

Summary: A simple and green colorimetric sensing assay strategy for highly efficient determination of melamine was developed based on the redox reaction of gallic acid with Ag+. Using gallic acid as a reducing and stabilizing agent, monodispersed Ag nanoparticles were obtained. The aggregation of AgNPs, attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between melamine and gallic acid, enables rapid detection of melamine concentration with a low detection limit.

Summary: This study investigates the combination of electride and alkalide characteristics in a molecular switch, utilizing phenalenyl radicals and M-3 rings as potential candidates. Through appropriate irradiation and external electric fields, transitions between superalkali and superalkalide states can be achieved. Additionally, differences in the first hyperpolarizability values between them were studied in detail.

Summary: A DFT study was conducted to investigate the nonlinear optics responses of stable superalkali-alkalide ion pairs in alkalide solutions. The study found a clear dependence of the response on the alkali metal atomic number, with a 1 to 3 orders of magnitude improvement in the static and dynamic first hyperpolarizabilities as the atomic number increases.

Summary: By using theoretical computations, we have achieved a novel intramolecular self-redox switch named Rb3BeB6Be' Rb'(3), which is a boron-based sandwich-like complex. Under an applied oriented external electric field (OEEF), a long-range electron transfer occurs from the tetrahedral Be' Rb'(3) to Rb3Be, resulting in the formation of [Rb3Be](2+)[B-6](6-)[Be' Rb'(3)](4+) with high-performance switchable nonlinear optical (NLO) effect. Therefore, Rb3BeB6Be' Rb'(3) is a potential candidate for an intramolecular self-redox (IMSR) NLO switch.

Summary: In recent years, the development of bifunctional electrocatalysts, specifically nanomaterials grown on substrates for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), has gained attention for sustainable and clean energy applications. However, the impact of interfacial interactions between electrode materials and the substrate on device performance has not been thoroughly investigated. This study presents 2D CoO nanosheets grown on carbon cloth (2D CoO/CC) as a hybrid electrocatalyst and demonstrates superior HER performance compared to Pt/C and CoO(aq.)/CC nanosheets. The results highlight the significance of adsorbability in determining the electrocatalyst's performance for HER, providing valuable insights for the rational design of high-performance electrochemical devices in practical energy applications.

Summary: The characteristics of a single-pole quadruple-throw (SP4T) nonlinear optics (NLO) molecular switch with alkalide and electride's characteristics, Na(HCN)(3)Na, were studied in this paper. It was found that an oriented external electric field can drive the transfer of excess electrons between two sodium atoms, resulting in a transition from an electride-like superalkali to four superalkalides forms with considerably larger values. The increase in the nonlinearity of the switch from off to on forms indicates that Na(HCN)(3)Na is a high-performance candidate for SP4T NLO switch.
