Summary: This study presents a method for stabilizing electrogenerated radical ions by effectively decorating organic donor-acceptor diads with B(C6F5)(3). By employing the p-type organic semiconductor benzothienobenzothiophene (BTBT) as the donor, tetracoordinate boron complexes show improved solution electrochemiluminescence (ECL) intensity. The Lewis-pairing-induced ECL enhancement is attributed to the multiple roles of B(C6F5)(3) in redistributing frontier orbitals, facilitating electrochemical excitation, and restricting molecular motions.

Summary: Simple D-hexoses such as D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-galactose were found to form supramolecular complexes with folic acid (FA), with the pterin subunit of FA playing a crucial role in the assembly formation. Experimental measurements and DFT theoretical calculations revealed that the stability of hexose-FA assemblies is maintained by three complementary hydrogen bonds between the pterin subunit of FA and the 3,4,6-trihydroxyl moiety of hexose.

Summary: In recent years, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) has become a highly successful tool in analytical science, with a focus on solid-state ECL for its enhanced electron transfer kinetics and rapid response time. The key element in ECL is the luminophore, with Ru(bpy)(3)(2+) being the gold-standard in ECL. This review provides insights into the principles of ECL and classical reaction mechanisms, as well as fabrication methods and the importance of solid-state ECL over solution-phase ECL. It also discusses emerging technologies and potential applications of solid-state ECL, along with recent advances in hyphenated techniques.

Summary: A 1,2-difunctionalization reaction of cyclic enol ethers mediated by bis(arylsulfonyl) peroxides is reported. Bis(nosyl) peroxide selectively adds a sulfonyl group at the 3-position of enol ethers, generating an oxocarbenium ion that is trapped by a carboxylic acid nucleophile at the 2-position. The reaction proceeds with good yield and tolerates a variety of cyclic enol ethers as well as different carboxylic acids as the oxocarbenium ion trapping reagents.

Summary: We investigate the formation processes and structures of self-assembled layers of 1,3,5-tris(4-bromophenyl)benzene (TBB) molecules on Ag(111) and Si(111) (/3×/3)-Ag surfaces using STM measurements and DFT calculations. Our findings demonstrate that the interplay between intermolecular interaction and molecule-substrate interaction plays a crucial role in controlling the characteristic structures of the self-assembled layers on the surfaces.

Summary: The study investigates the self-assembly behavior of amino-ester benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide monomers and reveals that both ester and amide carbonyls are involved in the hydrogen bond network of the dimeric species formed. Various conformations coexist in solution with rapid interconversion between them, leading to a symmetric structure. This fluxional behavior likely originates from a larger range of energetically favorable conformations accessible through rotation of the side chains.

Summary: This study presents the synthesis, photophysical, and electrochemical properties of selectively mono-, bis- and tris-dimethylamino- and trimethylammonium-substituted bis-triarylborane bithiophene chromophores, as well as the water solubility and singlet oxygen sensitizing efficiency of cationic compounds. The research highlights the significant influence of the bridging unit on the properties of bis-triarylboranes, especially the cationic compounds, and investigates their interactions with DNA, RNA, and DNApore in buffered solutions. Additionally, the study explores the compounds' ability to enter and localize within organelles of human lung carcinoma and normal lung cells, showing that both the number and distribution of charges on the chromophore affect interactions and staining properties.

Summary: New non-symmetrical 1:1 supramolecular H-bonded interactions were designed and induced dimorphic smectic phases were observed in the formed complexes, regardless of the terminal alkenyl chains of the natural acids. The stability of these mesophases was found to depend on the degree of unsaturation of the terminal alkenyl group of the acid component.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.

Summary: In this work, two metal organic frameworks (MOFs) containing {Cu2I2} clusters, Eu-CuI-INA and Sr-K-CuI-INA, were synthesized and characterized. Both materials have a three-dimensional structure with {Cu2I2} clusters coordinated by INA(-) ligands and Eu3+ or Sr2+ ions. The Sr-K-CuI-INA material exhibited sensitive fluorescence sensing behaviors towards cysteine and nitro-bearing molecules, showing potential applications in bio and explosive molecule sensing. This work provides a good reference for designing fluorescent MOF probes containing CuI molecules.

Summary: Na-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted great interest as a potential technology for grid-scale energy storage due to the wide distribution, low cost, and environmental friendliness of sodium resources. However, their implementation is hindered by low rate capability and cycling stability caused by the large ionic size of Na+. In this study, a three-dimensional nanoarchitectured coral-like CoSe2@N-doped carbon (CL-CoSe2@NC) was synthesized, and it exhibited improved sodium storage properties with better electrode kinetics and a stable SEI film.

Summary: Developing low-cost and self-supported bifunctional catalysts is crucial for highly efficient water splitting devices. In this study, nano-NiFe2O4 was directly grown onto iron foil surface and Sn4+ was introduced into the NiFe2O4. The resulting Sn-NiFe2O4/IF showed low overpotentials and high current densities during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), making it a promising catalyst for large-scale hydrogen production.
