The rotational dynamics of phenylene and diamantane rotators in crystals of 1,9-bis(4-[3,3,3-triphenylpropynyl]phenyl)diamantane were analyzed independently within the same crystal structure. The dynamics of phenylene rotation were established by dynamic line shape analysis using 13C CPMAS NMR. The phenylene signals were selectively highlighted by deuteration of the aromatic trityls and the use of short contact times for cross polarization. The dynamics of the diamantane group were established by 1H spin-lattice relaxation under conditions where dipolar relaxation was shown to be the dominant mechanism between 250 and 425 K. A factor of 20 000 between the rates of rotation of the faster diamantane and the slower phenylene at 300 K supports expectations that higher symmetry rotors should have significantly faster dynamics.

Two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectra of the phenylene ethynylene dendrimer with 2-ring and 3-ring branches were evaluated by combining the on-the-fly trajectory surface hopping nonadiabatic dynamics and the doorway-window simulation protocol. The ground state bleach (GSB), stimulated emission (SE), and excited-state absorption (ESA) contributions to the 2D signal were obtained and carefully analyzed. The results demonstrate that the ultrafast intramolecular nonadiabatic excited-state energy transfer (EET) from the 2-ring to the 3-ring units is comprehensively characterized by the SE and ESA signals.

Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that regular conical helices of poly(-phenylene) (PPP) chains can be constructed inside the confined space of single-walled carbon nanocones (CNCs). The translocation displacement of the PPP chain combined with the change of the system total potential energy including each energy component and structural parameters of the formed conical helix is discussed to deeply explore the microstructure evolution, driving forces and dynamic mechanisms. In addition, the influence of chain length, cone angle, temperature, chain number, linked position of benzene rings and the form of Lennard-Jones potential on the helical encapsulation is further studied.

Flexible sensors have garnered significant interest for their potential to monitor human activities and provide valuable feedback for healthcare purposes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are promising materials for these applications but suffer from issues of poor purity and solubility. Dispersing SWNTs with conjugated polymers (CPs) enhances solution processability, yet the polymer sidechains can insulate the SWNTs, limiting the sensor's operating voltage.

With the increasing demand for high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs) in the 6G communication era, dielectric substrate materials must exhibit a low dielectric constant (D), low dielectric loss (D), and high dimensional stability. In this study, a series of bismaleimide-incorporated poly(phenylene ether) resins (PPE-BMI) with varying bismaleimide (BMI) crosslinker contents is developed, exhibiting significantly enhanced dielectric properties and dimensional stability, owing to the restricted polymer chain mobility and increased crosslinking density. Dielectric property measurements reveal that the PPE-BMI resins exhibit low D and D values at frequencies above 100 GHz, while maintaining an excellent dielectric performance even after an 85 °C/85% relative humidity reliability test.
