Article Synopsis
  • Thiophene is studied as a key example of excited state photophysics relevant to organic electronics, utilizing multiphoton ionization photoelectron imaging.
  • The research investigates the transitions from the ground state to the first two excited singlet states by analyzing photoelectron spectra and angular distributions.
  • The study confirms the ionization energies: 8.8 eV (adiabatic) and 9.6 eV (vertical) for the ground state, and 3.7 eV (adiabatic) and 4.4 eV (vertical) for the first two excited states.

As a new type of 2D material, 1T'-MoS2 has become one of the fastest growing topics, owing to its extraordinary electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity. Nevertheless, these marvelous properties have not yet been realized in their macroscopic structures such as films and fibers, due to the lack of an assembly method. Herein, we report the synthesis of well-soluble 1T'-MoS2 sheets, which can form a nematic liquid crystalline structure in their aqueous suspensions.
