Long-range interactions (LRIs) slow down the excitation trapping in quantum transport on a one-dimensional chain with traps at both ends when compared to the case with only nearest-neighbor interactions. This is in contrast to the corresponding classical case, in which LRIs lead to faster excitation trapping. The reason for the slowing down is to be found in subtle changes--due to LRIs--in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian. Pertubation theory allows an analytical analysis of this fact.

Novel coumarin-triphenyliminophosphorane (TPIPP) fluorophores, synthesized via a nonhydrolytic Staudinger reaction, exhibit remarkable redox-responsive optical properties. Upon chemical and electrochemical oxidation, these compounds display a hypsochromic shift in absorption from 430 to 350 nm, accompanied by up to 11-fold fluorescence enhancement under 405 nm excitation. The fluorescence switching occurs at an electrochemical oxidation potential of approximately +2.

Aims: Organic thiocyanates are important pharmaceutical intermediates. This study aimed to develop a selective and efficient approach for synthesizing organic thiocyanates.
Methods: Under mild reaction conditions, an array of alkenes, KSCN, and diaryliodonium salts are considered good substrates, providing various aryl-substituted alkylthiocyanates with modest to excellent yield.

Most studies on dogs' olfactory performance focused only on some individuals pre-trained for a task or on specially selected/trained detection dogs. Here, using the Natural Detection Task (NDT) that does not require training, we assessed the effect of several potential factors on the performance of a large sample of dogs (N = 527/tested, 484/analysed). Olfactory success was associated with breeds, but breed groups (selected for olfaction, cooperation, or both) were proven non-relevant, suggesting that breed-specific traits are more influential than functional breed group characteristics.

Constructing 3D functional covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with both robust linkage and planar macrocycle building blocks still remains a challenge due to the difficulty in adjusting both the crystallinity and the dominant 2D structures. In addition, it is also challenging to selectively convert inert C(sp)-H bonds into value-added chemicals. Herein, robust 3D COFs, USTB-28-M (M=Co, Ni, Cu), have been polymerized from the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of -symmetric 2,3,6,7,14,15-hexahydroxyltriptycene with -symmetric hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (MPcF) under solvothermal conditions.

In this study, we investigate how modulating organic spacers in perovskites influences their X-ray detection performance and reveal the mechanism of low-dose detection with high sensitivity using femtosecond-transient absorption spectroscopy (fs-TAS). Particularly, we employ N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediammonium (TMPDA) and N,N-dimethylphenylene-p-diammonium (DPDA) as organic spacers to synthesize 2D perovskite single crystals (SCs). We find that DPDA-based SCs exhibit reduced interplanar spacing between inorganic layers, leading to increased lattice packing.
