Organic electrochromic polymers hold great potential for integration into low-power flexible electrochromic displays (F-ECDs) due to their wide range of colors and simple processing. However, challenges such as inefficient charge transfer and degradation upon device integration hinder their practical applications. Herein, we report an innovative, general approach that utilizes template-induced supramolecular nanostructuring to engineer established electrochromic polymers, enhancing their performance and durability.

- The study addresses conflicting views on the quantum magnetic state of spin-orbit coupled d² double perovskites, focusing on whether their ground state features Janh-Teller-distorted quadrupoles or octupolar order.
- Through direct calculations and inelastic neutron scattering for the d² double perovskite series Ba₂MOsO₆ (with M being Ca, Mg, Zn), the researchers uncover that the ground state consists of ferro-ordered octupoles connected via superexchange interactions.
- Findings indicate the calculated ordering temperature aligns with observed trends in experiments, and slight changes in the cubic structure can significantly alter the magnetic excitations' characteristics.
The stereospecific trimerization of enantiomerically pure binaphthols with hexakis(bromomethyl)benzene gives access in one step to enantiomerically pure molecular propellers, in which three binaphthyl rings are held together with dioxecine rings. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that three out the six naphthyl moieties are folded in a (EF) -type arrangement held by three intramolecular C-H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. This slips outward the three remaining naphthyl rings in a blade-like fashion, just like in three-folded propeller components.
