Summary: Natural photosensitizers, like flavins, have excellent toxicity profiles and activating energy ranges compatible with biological systems. Flavin-rich nanoparticles show promise in photodynamic therapies and drug delivery with their improved pharmacokinetics and reduced photobleaching. The design of riboflavin-rich nanoparticles with tunable morphology and predictable self-assembly can be guided by coarse-grained simulations of the self-assembling process.

Summary: This study describes the synthesis of a set of fullerene receptors and their interaction with C60 and C70 using corannulene-based molecular tweezers. The affinity towards fullerenes is mainly contributed by London dispersion forces. However, the sulfur-derived subfamily shows better interaction with fullerenes and can form inclusion complexes.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of pi-conjugated polymer-functionalized semiconductor surfaces and the use of surface-confined monolayers of these polymers. The nanostructure of the monolayers is influenced by factors such as the type and position of anchor groups, polymer structure, and film-forming techniques. The applications of these monolayers in dye sensitized solar cells and polymer solar cells are summarized. Future research directions for improving the efficiency and assembly states of these monolayers are also discussed.

Summary: This study presents an effective strategy for controlling the pathways of p-conjugated supramolecular polymers. By incorporating donor and acceptor units on the monomeric structure, it is possible to achieve parallel-stacked metastable polymers that convert to thermodynamically stable slip-stacked polymers. The presence of donor-acceptor functionality on the seed structure is crucial for accelerating the pathway conversion.

Summary: In this study, a pyrene based probe associated with pi center-dot-hydrazone as one of the recognizing elements is synthesized and transformed into a selective colorimetric and turn-on fluorescent sensor (L-3) for cyanide anion. The chemo sensor exhibits high selectivity towards cyanide anion through a photo electron transfer (PET) mechanism, with a binding strength and sensitivity of 2.0 X 10(4) and 4.44 x 10(-4) respectively. Comparison with previously reported receptors L-1 and L-2 shows the homogeneous dispersion of pi center-dot-hole in the aromatic ring governing the selectivity of the receptor towards cyanide anion.

Summary: In this article, a novel catalytic reaction using Pd(0) and Bronsted acid is reported for the synthesis of biologically important imidazolidinone-fused N-heterocycles through redox-neutral intramolecular N-allylation of indoles and pyrroles with alkynes. This atom-economical method is applicable to a wide range of substrates and eliminates the need for leaving groups or oxidizing agents commonly used in traditional allylation reactions.

Summary: This study presents the design and synthesis of sulfated disaccharide inhibitors based on IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S), which showed potent inhibition of Sulf-2. The results suggest that IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S) is the shortest fragment size required for effective inhibition of Sulfs, and a trisulfated disaccharide is identified as the minimal fragment size of heparan sulfate for effective endosulfatase inhibition.

Summary: The self-adaptability of galvanostatic electrolysis was found to be helpful in a multistage chemo- and diastereoselective electrochemically promoted cyclodimerization of chalcones. Through a series of reductive events, densely functionalized cyclopentanes with five contiguous stereocenters were obtained (25 examples, yields up to 95%, dr values up to >20:1). Further experimental and electrochemical investigations indicated the crucial role of dynamic kinetic resolution of the aldol intermediate in the reaction mechanism.

Summary: In this study, the synthesis of functionalized benzo[a]phenazines and indazolo[2,3-a]quinolines was achieved through Rh(III)-catalyzed oxidative annulation of 2-arylquinoxalines and 2-aryl-2H-indazoles with allyl alcohols. The method showed a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, good to high yields of annulated products, and the capability for scaled-up synthesis. A tentative mechanism of the annulation reaction was proposed based on a preliminary mechanistic investigation.
