Vibrational analysis of ethyl 4-nitrophenylacetate (ENPA) molecule was carried out using FT-IR and FT-Raman spectroscopic techniques. The equilibrium geometry, harmonic vibrational wave numbers, various bonding features have been computed using density functional theory. The calculated molecular geometry parameters have been compared with XRD data. The detailed interpretation of the vibrational spectra has been carried out by computing Potential Energy Distribution (PED). Stability of the molecule arising from hyperconjugative interactions and charge delocalization has been analyzed using Natural Bond Orbital (NBO) analysis. The results show that the charge in the electron density (ED) in the σ(*) and π(*) antibonding orbitals and second order delocalization energies (E(2)) confirm the occurrence of ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) within the molecule. The simulated spectra satisfactorily coincide with the experimental spectra.

Nowadays, much attention is paid to the development of high-performance and multifunctional materials, but it is still a great challenge to obtain polymer materials with high mechanical properties, high self-healing properties, and multifunctionality in one. Herein, an innovative strategy is proposed to obtain a satisfactory waterborne polyurethane (PMWPU-Bx) by in situ anchoring 3-aminophenylboronic acid (3-APBA) in a pyrene-capped waterborne polyurethane (PMWPU) via supramolecular interactions. The multiple functional sites inherent in 3-APBA can produce supramolecular interactions with groups on PMWPU, promoting the aggregation of hard domains in the polymer network, which confers the PMWPU-Bx strength (7.

The design of solid-state materials requests a thorough understanding of the structural preferences among plausible structure models. Since the bond energy contributes to the formation energy of a given structure model, it also is decisive to determine the nature of chemical bonding for a given material. In this context, we were motivated to explore the correlation between chemical bonding and structural distortions within the low-dimensional tellurium fragments in TbCuTe.

Degradable and cost-effective cellulose fiber-based materials are ideal substitutes for traditional plastics. However, organic additives used to enhance water and oil resistance often contain toxic substances that may migrate into food, posing health risks. In this study, inspired by tree structures, lignin-containing cellulose nanofibers (LCNFs) are used to form a "crown-roots" structure to enhance the water, oil, and gas resistance, as well as mechanical performance of composites.

Corneal neovascularization (CorNV) develops under various pathological conditions and is one of the main causes of blindness. Due to that CorNV progression involves multiple steps, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs alone could not sufficiently suppress this process, highlighting an urgent need for an efficient delivery system for the multi-step management of CorNV. In this study, a neutrophil nanovesicle-based eye drop (NCCR) is developed for CorNV therapy that simultaneously inhibits angiogenesis and inflammation, while eliminating pathological cells through chemoexcited photodynamic therapy (PDT).

A microwave-strengthened supramolecular adhesive by introducing maleic acid amide bonds into the cross-linked networks of catechol-based monomers and iron oxide nanoparticles is reported. Under microwave irradiation, the supramolecular adhesive can be rapidly heated up, causing the transformation from maleic acid amide bonds to maleimide bonds and thus the increase of its cohesive strength. The supramolecular adhesive can flexibly bond substrates like pressure sensitive adhesives during the bonding procedure and shows an adhesion strength of 0.
