The pi(+)-pi interactions are utilized to design the solid-state assembly of host-guest complexes where guests are anions. The doubly protonated MPTPH(2) (MPTP = 4'-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) complexed with H(2)O and Cl(-) or Br(-) are synthesized, crystallized, and characterized by X-ray analysis. By using the density functional theory calculations which can properly describe the dispersion energy, the assembling phenomena are analyzed in terms of pi(+)-pi and pi-pi interactions as well as H-bonding interactions. The planar structure of MPTPH(2)(Cl)(2).2H(2)O or MPTPH(2)(Br)(2).2H(2)O facilitates the crystal packing, since the pi(+)-pi interactions play an important role in the solid-state assembly.

Three bisferrocene-based bis(acylthiourea) positional isomers, namely, 1,2-bis(ferrocenylcarbonylthioureido)benzene (1), 1,3-bis(ferrocenylcarbonylthioureido)benzene (2) and 1,4-bis(ferrocenylcarbonylthioureido)benzene (3), all [Fe(CH)(CHNOS)], have been synthesized via facile nucleophilic addition reactions of 2.3 equivalents of ferrocenoyl isothiocyanate with o-, m- and p-phenylenediamine, respectively. The structures of the three new synthesized isomers were fully characterized by H NMR, C NMR, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and cyclic voltammetry.

[CuL(tmen)] is a sequence of four ternary mononuclear Schiff base copper(II) complexes that are derived from L-valine, suitable 5'-substituted-2'-hydroxyacetophenones (where the substituents are -Cl for L, -Me for L, -OMe for L, and -H for L), and tmen (where tmen-N,N,N',N' tetramethyl ethylenediamine). Without isolating the Schiff base ligand or producing any other intermediate products, all of the complexes were synthesised. These compounds were identified using elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV-Vis, FTIR, EPR, VSM-RT, and CD spectra.

Most current highly efficient organic solar cells utilize small molecules like Y6 and its derivatives as electron acceptors in the photoactive layer. In this work, a small molecule acceptor, SC8-IT4F, is developed through outer side chain engineering on the terminal thiophene of a conjugated 6,12-dihydro-dithienoindeno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene (IDTT) central core. Compared to the reference molecule C8-IT4F, which lacks outer side chains, SC8-IT4F displays notable differences in molecule geometry (as shown by simulations), thermal behavior, single-crystal packing, and film morphology.

In this study, we present an ultrasensitive and specific multiplexed detection method for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza (Flu) utilizing CRISPR/Cas13a technology combined with a hydrogel-encapsulated photonic crystal (PhC) barcode integrated with hybridization chain reaction (HCR). The barcodes, characterized by core-shell structures, are fabricated through partial replication of periodically ordered hexagonally close-packed silicon dioxide beads. Consequently, the opal hydrogel shell of these barcodes features abundant interconnected pores that provide a substantial surface area for probe immobilization.

Two series of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon isomers ( and , and and ) were designed and synthesized by isomerically fusing phenanthrene with thiophene and thieno[3,2-]thiophene, respectively. All of the new target molecules were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, and it was found that the solid-state packing can be effectively modulated through a combination of π-extended and isomeric fused strategies. Meanwhile, compared with thiophene ring-terminated isomers and , both having a V-shaped geometry and showing no obvious self-assembly behavior, π-extended unit thieno[3,2-]thiophene-terminated isomer displays a V-shaped structure with moderate self-assembly properties and isomer exhibits a C-shaped configuration with further enhanced self-assembly properties.
