Summary: The reaction between [Cd(OAc)2]·2H2O and Hbit leads to [Cd(bit)2]. Treatment of [Cd(bit)2] with diamine ligands (L') such as ethylenediamine (en), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), or 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy) results in the formation of [Cd(bit)2(L')] complexes. X-ray crystal structure analysis of [Cd(bit)2(bipy)] reveals a mixture of two binuclear complexes: [Cd(bipy)(κ1-bit)(μ-bit)]2 (2a) and [Cd2(bipy)2(κ1-bit)4(H2O)2(μ-H2O)] (2b). The coordination geometries of 2a and 2b are distorted square pyramidal and distorted octahedral, respectively. The crystal packings of 2a and 2b are stabilized by various intermolecular interactions, including C-H···π and π···π stacking in 2a, and O-H···π, C-H···π, and π···π stacking in 2b. The intermolecular interactions in both complexes are further analyzed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, and the presence or absence of a large cavity in 2a and 2b is checked by void analysis.

Summary: In this work, a series of porous CsPbBr3 nanocrystals as light emitters were prepared using the breath figure approach. Microscopy analysis showed that the nanocrystals were evenly distributed within the polymer matrix but mainly confined inside the pores. The CsPbBr3 nanocrystals maintained their optical properties after film formation, indicating their stability inside the polystyrene matrix. The high porosity and defined micropatterning of the surfaces resulted in highly hydrophobic behavior, making them self-cleaning.

Summary: Self-assembled organic nanomaterials and inorganic nanoparticles can be combined to form hybrid structures. The assembly pathways and structural outcomes in these hybrid systems can be controlled by changing the solubility and size of the components. Quantum dots (QDs) and reversibly binding peptoids were used as the components in this study. In aqueous conditions, QDs stabilized certain morphologies of peptoid intermediates and generated multilayers of small peptoid sheets linked by QDs. In organic solvents, the assembly was facilitated or inhibited by the relative hydrophobicity of the QD surface ligands. Increasing the size of the QDs led to large hybrid sheets with highly ordered square-packed QDs. Additionally, binary hybrid lattices could be created by integrating smaller QD species. These findings provide design principles for controlling the structure and structural evolution of hybrid peptoid-QD assemblies.

Summary: In this study, a novel luminescence assay based on platinum(II) complexes was introduced to detect RNA and achieve nucleolus imaging. The noncovalent interactions between platinum(II) complexes and RNA were induced by introducing a guanidinium group, resulting in strong RNA affinity and remarkable luminescence turnon. The unique properties of platinum(II) complexes, including low-energy red luminescence and large Stokes shifts, make them promising for nucleolus imaging with high signal-to-background ratios and potential biological applications.

Summary: Hydrogen-bonded polymers are highly dynamic supramolecular aggregates that can self-assemble through external or internal stimuli. This study finds that chiral biphenyldiimides derived from amino acids can self-assemble into open-chain 1D supramolecular polymers, and the amino acid side chains play an important role in stabilizing or destabilizing the assemblies. Significant differences in the polymerization process are observed between dynamic liquid and static solid. This work demonstrates the potential of diimide-based organic dyes in the formation of chiral supramolecular assemblies with tunable properties.

Summary: The spectroscopic, electronic, and electron injection properties of a new class of linear carbon chain (LCC) based organic dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). By changing the length of the linear carbon chain, the photophysical properties of LCC-based dyes can be tuned. The results show that LCC-bridges outperform benzene and thiophene bridges, and compounds with a pyrrole ring as the donor group exhibit superior efficiency in solar energy conversion.

Summary: This study provides a new method for synthesizing linear A-B alternating macromolecular systems based on double-decker squaraine (DDSQ) through known hydrosilylation reactions, and reports for the first time the formation of DDSQ-based copolymers with DPn over 1000. The impact of Si-H and Si-Vi reactive group placement in DDSQ on the molecular weight distributions, degree of polymerization, and physicochemical properties (thermal, mechanical, and hydrophobic properties) of the resulting copolymers was also investigated. Understanding the catalytic processes leading to the formation of copolymer systems based on squaraine will facilitate the development of hybrid materials with desired properties and applications.

Summary: Simple synthetic routes for the regioselective deuteration of tris[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amine (Me6TREN) variants are described. Formation of imine with formaldehyde-d(2) from tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN) and subsequent reduction with NaBD4 resulted in N[CH2CH2N(CD3)(2)](3) or d(18)-Me6TREN in 79% yield. A trisubstitution protocol from 2-bromo-N,N-dimethylacetamide and ammonium carbonate, followed by reduction of the N(CH2CONMe2)(3) intermediate with lithium aluminum deuteride, afforded N[CH2CD2N(CH3)(2)](3) or (d(6)-arm)-Me6TREN in three steps and 52% overall yield. A similar protocol using 2-bromo-N,N-dimethyl-d(2)-acetamide, obtained from d(4)-acetic acid in two steps, and reduction of the N(CD2CONMe2)(3) intermediate with lithium aluminum hydride, resulted in N[CD2CH2N(CH3)(2)](3) or (d(6)-cap)-Me6TREN in four steps and 13% overall yield.

Summary: The design and synthesis of two novel polyoxometalate-covalent organic frameworks (POCOFs) were presented, utilizing an amino-functionalized Anderson-type POM and a trialdehyde-based building unit. The addition of hydroxyl groups in the 2,4,6 position to the benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde enriched the structural and functional complexity, allowing for the utilization of keto-enol tautomerization as an additional feature in POCOFs. The resulting POCOF-1 electrodes exhibited superior electrochemical performance, with high specific capacitance, large surface area, and excellent cyclability.

Summary: In this study, the energy conversion efficiency of a novel class of organic dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was predicted using density functional theory (DFT) simulations. The role of the anchoring group in connecting the linker and the surface was investigated. It was found that the variations in UV/VIS absorption spectra had a slight impact on the light harvesting efficiency (LHE), while the electron injection efficiency (phi(inj)) and electron collection efficiency (eta(coll)) did not affect the short-circuit current density (J(SC)) values. The open-circuit voltage (V-oc) was theoretically predicted, and PY-4N and PY-3N dyes showed the highest V-oc values, attributed to a favorable recombination rate related to the energy gap between the HOMO level of the dyes and the conduction band minimum (CBM) of the surface. PY-4N and PY-3N dyes were predicted to have remarkably high photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) values, making them potential candidates for DSSCs.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
