Poly(octadecylacrylate) having plural trimethoxysilyl groups in the side chain (co-ODA(n)) was newly synthesized and immobilized onto silica through these groups. The liquid chromatographic behavior of silica-supported co-ODA(n) (Sil-co-ODA(n)) was investigated and compared with that of Sil-ODA(n), in which poly(octadecylacrylate) was immobilized through a terminal trimethoxy group at one side of the polymer main chain. Sil-co-ODA(n) showed higher selectivity for molecular shape, especially molecular planarity of PAHs than Sil-ODA(n).

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides derived from the enzymatic degradation of starch. Their distinct molecular shape, which resembles a truncated cone with a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic outer surface, enables the formation of inclusion complexes via host-guest interactions. These complexes facilitate beneficial modifications such as enhancing the solubility and stabilizing unstable guest molecules.

The research and development of push-pull tetraene chromophores (PPT-phores) have contributed greatly to the field of organic electro-optic (EO) materials and devices since the inauguration of CLD-1 in 2001. This study is thus a systematic contribution to synthesize and characterize a series of centro-arylated PPT-phores based on strong electron-donating tetrahydroquinolinyl groups and variable strong electron-accepting tricyanofuran derivatives. In particular, we report the crystallographic data to show various packing modes of these PPT-phores with detailed information about bond length alternation and intermolecular interactions, the optical absorption edges of guest-host polymers by the Tauc model, and the anisotropy and dispersion of Pockels tensors for the poled polymers by attenuated total reflection spectroscopy.

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are identified as emerging organic contaminations with largely unexplored health impacts. To elucidate their toxic mechanisms, support the establishment of environmental discharge and management standards, and promote effective LCMs control, this study constructs a database covering 20,545 potential targets of 1431 LCMs, highlighting 9 key toxic target proteins that disrupt the nervous system and metabolic functions. GO and KEGG pathway analysis suggests LCMs severely affect nervous system, linked to neurodegenerative diseases and mental health disorders, with toxicity variations driven by electronegativity and structural complexity of LCM terminal groups.

In this paper the binding of noscapine (NOS) as an anticancer drug with poor bioavailability and low solubility with beta and methyl-beta cyclodextrins (β-CD and M-β-CD) as the biocompatible drug carriers were discussed using ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as well as molecular docking. The absorption of NOS changed when it was bound to both cyclodextrins, resulting in a hyperchromic shift. It formed a 1:1 stoichiometry inclusion complex with both cyclodextrins according to the Benesi-Hildebrand equation.

Understanding the interplay of structural features responsible for molecular assembly is essential for molecular crystal engineering. When assembling molecules with encoded motifs, supramolecular strategies almost always include robust directional nonbonded contacts. Quasiracemic materials, considered near racemates since cocrystallization occurs with chemically unique components, lack a molecular framework or functional group restrictions, highlighting the importance of molecular shape to molecular assembly.
