We studied vicinal and long-range coupling constants for 9-anthracene derivatives, e.g., Br, CN, CHO, NO2, CH2Cl, CH2OH, and OCH3. We performed the accurate measurements using modified J doubling in the frequency domain, even for the smallest couplings immersed within the line width. Density functional theory allowed us to reproduce and exhaustively analyze the physical contributions to the values of these spectroscopic parameters. The theory of atoms in molecules defines a delocalization index that correlates linearly with vicinal and long-range coupling constants when they are grouped in terms of the number of bonds between the coupled nuclei. An exception to this behavior is obtained for 4J(H4,H10) values, which have a negative Fermi contact and the largest delocalization index for each molecule. This observation can be explained by a characteristic "gable roof" arrangement formed by the five nuclei involved in the coupling.

The deterministic preparation of highly ordered single-crystalline surfaces is a key step for studying and utilizing the physical properties of various advanced materials. This paper presents the fast and straightforward preparation of vicinal AlO(0001) surfaces with micrometer-scale atomic order. Crisp electron-diffraction spots up to at least 20 order evidence atomic coherence on terraces with widths exceeding 1 μm.

Achieving timely, reversible, and long-range remote tunability over surface wettability is highly demanded across diverse fields, including nanofluidic systems, drug delivery, and heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, using molecular dynamic simulations, we show, for the first time, a theoretical design of electrowetting to achieve remotely controllable surface wettability via using a terahertz wave. The key idea driving the design is the unique terahertz collective vibration identified in the vicinal subnanoscale water layer, which is absent in bulk water, enabling efficient energy transfer from the terahertz wave to the rotational motion of the vicinal subnanoscale water layer.

Tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (THPP) is an attractive scaffold for designing biologically active compounds. The most obvious way to obtain such compounds is to reduce pyrazolopyrimidines with complex hydrides, because the pyrimidine ring is reduced in the preference over the pyrazole ring. The presence of substituents at positions five and seven of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines complicates the set of reaction products but makes it more attractive for medicinal chemistry because four possible stereoisomers can be formed during reduction.

Chain-like magnetic self-organizations have been documented for micron/submicron-scale magnetic particles. However, the positions of the particles are not stationary in a sustaining fluid owing to Brownian translational motion, resulting in irregular magnetic self-assembly. Toward the development of a programmable and reversible magnetic self-assembly, we report a stepwise collective magnetic self-assembly with periodic polymeric micropillar arrays containing magnetic particles.

From the catalytic, semiconducting, and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) numerous potential applications emerge. For the physical and chemical properties of the surface, under-coordinated atoms often play an important role, necessitating systematic studies of their influence. Here we study the vicinal ZnO([Formula: see text]) surface, rich in under-coordinated sites, using a combination of several experimental techniques and density functional theory calculations.
