Summary: Low-temperature solution phase synthesis of nanomaterials using designed molecular precursors has advantages over traditional high-temperature solid-state synthesis, but requires molecular complexes with specific properties. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of new molecular precursors containing direct Sn-E bonds, which can decompose easily under various conditions to produce phase-pure or mixed-phase tin chalcogenide nanoflakes.

Summary: High-quality lead sulfide films were successfully fabricated by H2S-free metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using a single-source metal-organic complex. The films exhibited chemically stoichiometric and homogenous properties, with high crystallinity and comparable charge transport characteristics as those produced by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Photodetectors fabricated with these films showed high photocurrents, reliable switching characteristics, and high sensitivity over a broad spectral bandwidth, indicating their potential for practical broadband photodetection.

Summary: Through molecular dynamics simulations, researchers have found that many different substrates can promote the formation of pristine I-c, I-c can be selectively nucleated even with mild supercooling, the water contact layer's resemblance to a face of ice is the key factor determining the polytype selectivity and nucleation temperature, and substrate lattice match to ice is not indicative of the polytype obtained.

Summary: In this study, a suitable single-source precursor for the deposition of nanostructured PbS thin films at moderate temperatures under ambient conditions was sought. The ligand N-(thiomorpholine-4-carbothioyl)benzamide and its corresponding lead(II) complex were synthesized and their structures were determined. The lead complex showed promising thermal decomposition behavior, leading to the successful fabrication of phase-pure PbS thin films at a comparably low annealing temperature of 250 degrees C. The resulting films exhibited nanoparticles with cuboidal morphology and blue-shifted optical absorption.

Summary: In this study, a simple process for the electrodeposition of tungsten disulfide thin films was reported using a tailored single source precursor [NEt4](2)[WS2Cl4] from a CH2Cl2-based electrolyte. The new precursor eliminates the need for an additional proton source in the electrolyte and allows for the formation of WS2 thin films with the correct W : S ratio. The electrochemical behavior of the precursor was studied by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance techniques.

Summary: Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2 (5 alpha R-2) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of steroids and plays a crucial role in prostate growth and function. Drugs like finasteride and dutasteride have been approved as inhibitors of 5 alpha R-2, but they come with high costs and undesirable sexual side effects. This study identified ten novel compounds with potential as alternative chemotherapeutic agents for treating diseases related to 5 alpha R-2, based on molecular docking and simulations.

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.
