Article Abstract
The photochemical and thermal reactivity of a number of acyl azide-substituted pyridine compounds, namely nicotinyl azide, isonicotinyl azide, picolinyl azide and dinicotinyl azide with investigated as saturated monolayers on a single-crystal Pt(111) surface in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. Multilayers of the substrates exhibited a maximum rate of desorption at 270 K, above which, stable saturated monolayers formed as characterized by reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy by observation of C=O and N3 bands at 1700 cm(-1), and 2100 and 1300 cm(-1) respectively. The monolayers were stable up to 400 K. Photolysis of the monolayer (or heating above 400 K) results in the formation of the respective isocyanate intermediate after loss of nitrogen as evidenced by the appearance of a new infrared band at 2260 cm(-1) with concomitant loss of the azide bands. The resulting isocyanate saturated monolayer is stable in absence of nucleophiles, but can be quenched with appropriate nucleophiles.

Carbazole-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM) materials as hole transport layers (HTL) have led organic solar cells (OSCs) to state-of-the-art photovoltaic performance. Nonetheless, the impact of the alkyl spacer length of SAMs remains inadequately understood. To improve the knowledge, four dichloride-substituted carbazole-based SAMs (from 2Cl-2PACz to 2Cl-5PACz) with spacer lengths of 2-5 carbon atoms is developed.

Developing sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity for detecting neurotransmitters under near-physiological conditions is a major challenge and is crucial for preventing diseases of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. Most existing systems that meet these requirements involve either complicated synthesis processes, require sulfur groups, or are not functional under aqueous conditions. Herein, we report that the self-organisation of a simple imine ligand L with copper(II) tetrafluoroborate leads to the formation of a [CuL](BF) complex (CuL) with a 2 : 1 ligand-to-metal ratio, as confirmed by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR ESI-MS), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray analysis.

2D stacking presents a promising avenue for creating periodic superstructures that unveil novel physical phenomena. While extensive research has focused on lateral 2D material superstructures formed through composition modulation and twisted moiré structures, the exploration of vertical periodicity in 2D material superstructures remains limited. Although weak van der Waals interfaces enable layer-by-layer vertical stacking, traditional methods struggle to control in-plane crystal orientation over large areas, and the vertical dimension is constrained by unscalable, low-throughput processes, preventing the achievement of global order structures.

Decorating a gold surface with molecular-level control over the positioning of DNA probes was demonstrated using a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of wireframe DNA nanocube structures. The DNA nanocubes were specifically adsorbed and oriented using thiol-modified DNA on one face of the cube. The DNA nanocube SAM had a uniform coverage over the gold single crystal bead electrode with a separation of 20-30 nm measured by AFM.

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in La_{3}Ni_{2}O_{7} at pressures above 14 GPa has spurred extensive research efforts. Yet, fundamental aspects of the superconducting phase, including the possibility of a filamentary character, are currently subjects of controversial debates. Conversely, a crystal structure with NiO_{6} octahedral bilayers stacked along the c-axis direction was consistently posited in initial studies on La_{3}Ni_{2}O_{7}.
