Summary: New tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs) based on imidazolium containing weakly coordinating anion [Ga(C2F5)(4)](-) were investigated for their viscosity, conductivity, and electrochemical stability. The gallate-TAAILs showed stability even at high electrochemical potentials and are considered promising candidates for electrolytes in electrochemical applications. More details can be found in the communication by B. Hoge, T. Strassner, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102097).

Summary: Ultraviolet ozone flushing (UVO) is used to oxidize the NiOx hole-transport layer, activating the Ni3+ at the top of the NiOx film and enhancing its electrical properties and hole extraction ability. Sequential deposition of perovskites leads to the formation of residual PbI2 at the bottom interface, preventing direct contact between the NiOx film and the perovskite layer and avoiding NiOx-related chemical reactions.

Summary: The optical fluorescent pH sensors based on positively charged silica microparticles containing anionic pyranine molecules were developed using a modified Stober method, ensuring overly pH-sensitive nature of pyranine and long-term stability through silica shell coating. These cytocompatible ratiometric pH sensors can be individually observed and are suitable for pH sensing and tracking applications.

Summary: This study presents the synthesis of in-fjord substituted expanded helicenes and estimates their inversion barriers through state-of-the-art quantum calculations. The energetic profile of the inversions is found to be significantly influenced by the interplay of steric and attractive London dispersion interactions. More details can be found in the Full Paper by R. A. Mata, M. Alcarazo, et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102585).
