We apply the ab initio spin density functional theory to study magnetism in all-carbon nanostructures. We find that particular systems, which are related to schwarzite and contain no undercoordinated carbon atoms, carry a net magnetic moment in the ground state. We postulate that, in this and other nonalternant aromatic systems with negative Gaussian curvature, unpaired spins can be introduced by sterically protected carbon radicals.

ConspectusTriangulene (TRI) and its heterotriangulene (HT) derivatives are planar, triangle-shaped molecules that, via suitable coupling reactions, can form extended organic two-dimensional (2D) crystal (O2DC) structures. While TRI is a diradical, HTs are either closed-shell molecules or monoradicals which can be stabilized in their cationic form.Triangulene-based O2DCs have a characteristic honeycomb-kagome lattice.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers found that a protected diradical variant can maintain its open-shell state on a gold substrate, showing specific interactions between its unpaired electrons and a unique nonplanar geometry.
- * Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), the team was able to observe and manipulate the magnetic states of these molecules, indicating that structural changes can affect their spin properties and suggesting future applications in spin-crossover materials.

Patiromer (Veltassa®) is a crosslinked, insoluble co-polymer drug used as a nonabsorbent potassium binder, approved for treatment of hyperkalemia. Quantitative solid-state C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis with comprehensive peak assignment, component quantification, and calculation of mole and weight fractions of monomer units was performed on three doses of patiromer. The workflow is documented in detail.

Configurational and conformational analysis of the biologically relevant natural product artemisinin was conducted using carbon-carbon residual dipolar couplings (D RDCs) at natural abundance. These RDCs were measured through the 2D-INADEQUATE NMR experiment using a sample aligned in a compressed poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) gel swollen in CDCl. Singular value decomposition (SVD) fitting analysis of all carbon-carbon bonds, D RDCs, in relation to the full configuration/conformational space (32 diastereoisomers) of artemisinin, unambiguously identified the correct configuration of artemisinin.
