Summary: This study investigates the effect of steric hindrance on amyloid formation using Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that steric hindrance inhibits oligomerization and can either facilitate or suppress the conformational conversion of proteins. Moreover, steric hindrance has an overall inhibitory effect on amyloid nucleation. These findings enhance our understanding of how nature regulates protein aggregation and amyloid formation through steric hindrance.

Summary: A novel complex [(Fe4L4)-L-II](8+) was designed and synthesized through subcomponent self-assembly, with a tetrahedral cage structure confirmed by H-1 NMR and ESI-MS measurements. The weak intermolecular interactions with guest molecules may be attributed to the steric effect of methyl groups near the peripheral apertures of the cage.

Summary: In this work, two luminescent iridium complexes were synthesized with phosphine-based ligands that had large steric hindrance, leading to highly luminescent excited states. Limited aggregation-induced phosphorescence emission (AIPE) effect was observed due to minimized intermolecular interactions between molecules. The photophysical parameters of these complexes in different states were compared, and density functional theory calculations were conducted to analyze the excited state behavior. The limited aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect was confirmed, and high emission quantum yield and long emissive lifetime were observed in the solid state.

Summary: A new measurement method for the steric hindrance effect of amine molecules, N exposure, is proposed. This method is independent of group-specific parameters and takes into account the spatial arrangements of pendant groups. It can effectively screen for sterically hindered amines with improved carbon dioxide loading capacities.

Summary: The hydration number distributions of alkali metal ions were characterized using ZIF-8-based membranes and the in situ liquid time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry technique. It was found that ion dehydration was induced through neutral confined ZIF-8 windows, which increased the intrapore velocity for monovalent cations. The study also revealed the crucial role of dehydration energy barriers and size-based entropy barriers in ion selectivity of trans-subnanochannel transport.

Summary: This study synthesized three new strongly luminescent tricarbonylrhenium(I) complexes with promising optical properties. Comparison of these complexes revealed that increasing the size of the substituent significantly enhanced the photoluminescence quantum yield, while the complexes also showed waveguiding properties not previously seen in rhenium complexes.

Summary: A series of strong it-acceptor polyfluorinated and dicationic chelating phosphines were synthesized and evaluated in the Rh-catalysed dimerization of norbornadiene, leading to the selective formation of specific products and site-selective arylation reactions. Theoretical calculations were performed to understand the origin of the observed regioselectivity.

Summary: In this study, the long-time diffusion of a solute in a chemically crosslinked and flexible hydrogel was calculated using a bead-spring model of a polymeric network to assess the effect of steric obstruction. The relative diffusivities obtained for various systems can be described by an exponential decay, depending on a parameter different from that used for rigid gels. The mathematical expression derived in this work can approximately predict diffusivity in flexible gels if steric hindrance governs diffusion.
