For the synthesis of an ortho-dithienylpyrene, a K-region bromination of pyrene was developed which enabled the first reported, non-statistical asymmetric functionalization of pyrene at the 4, 5, 9 and 10 positions. Crystal structures, optical and electronic properties and FET characteristics have been investigated.

The formation of asymmetric microenvironments in proteins benefits from precise transportation of chirality across multiple levels through weak bonds in the folding and assembly process, which inspires the rational design and fabrication of artificial chiral materials. Herein, the chalcogen bonding-directed precise transportation of supramolecular chirality toward multiple levels is reported to aid the fabrication of chiroptical materials. Benzochalcogenadiazole (O, S, Se) motifs are conjugated to amino acid residues, and the solid-state assemblies afforded selective supramolecular chirality with handedness depending on the kinds of chalcogen atoms and amino acids.

Herein, we present a simple, controllable, scalable, and versatile electrochemical modification approach of graphite rods (GRs) extracted from low-cost Eveready cells that were covalently modified with anthracene oligomers. The anthracene oligomers with a total layer thickness of ∼24 nm on the GR electrode yield a remarkable specific capacitance of ∼670 F g with good galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling stability (10 000) recorded in 1 M HSO electrolyte.

Interactions between water and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are essential in many aspects of chemistry, from interstellar and atmospheric processes to interfacial hydrophobicity and wetting phenomena. Despite their growing importance, the intermolecular potentials of the water-hydrocarbon interactions are underdeveloped compared to the water-water potentials, and there are similarly few experimental probes that are sensitive to the details of the water-hydrocarbon potential. We present a combined experimental and computational study of anionic pyrene monohydrate, one of the simplest water/hydrocarbon clusters.

Background: Keystone taxa are drivers of microbiome structure and functioning, which may play critical roles in microbiome-level responses to recalcitrant pollution and are a key to bioremediation. However, the characterization and manipulation of such taxa is a major challenge due to the complexity of microbial communities and rapid turnover in both time and space. Here, microcosms were set up with benzo[a]-pyrene (BaP) and/or nitrate based on C-rich, S-rich, and N-limited mangrove sediments as reductive experimental models to trigger and track the turnover of keystone taxa to address this challenge.
