The trans-Pt(PBu3)2 Cl2 complex reacts with 1 equiv. of 2,6-diethynyl-AQ and 2 equiv. of 2-ethynyl-AQ (AQ = anthraquinone) to form the polymer (trans-Pt(2,6-diethynyl-AQ)2 (PBu3)2)n, 1, and the model compounds, 2, trans-Pt(PBu3)2 (2-ethynyl-AQ)2 (in a 20:1 ratio as trans-(2a) and cis-(2b) rotational isomers), respectively. These redox-active and luminescent materials have been characterized by gel permeation chromatography, thermal gravimetric analysis, X-ray crystallography, electrochemistry, photophysics, and DFT computations (B3LYP). The typical π,π* T2 → S0 phosphorescence centered on the trans-Pt(PBu3)2 (aryl)2 chromophore, [Pt], generally encountered for the analogous polymers (trans-Pt(PBu3)2 (aryl)2-acceptor)n (acceptor = quinonediimine, QN2; anthraquinone diimine, AQN2), for which the CT T1 → S0 emission is silent, has been completely annihilated and replaced by a red-shifted T1 → S0 emission in 1 and 2a, which arise from a triplet charge transfer excited state [Pt]→ AQ.

The side-chain directions in nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) strongly influence the intermolecular interactions in NFAs; however, the influence of these side chains on the morphologies and charge carrier dynamics of Y6-based acceptors remains underexplored. In this study, we synthesize four distinct Y6-based acceptors, i.e.

In this study, a distinctive multiple core-shell structure of Co nanoparticles inserted into N-doped carbon dodecahedron@Co hydroxide (Co/NCD@Co(OH)) was synthesized a spontaneous redox reaction between metallic Co and NO, ultimately materializing the fine dispersion and exposure of the active sites. The electronic interaction existing between the Co/NCD core and the Co(OH) shell brings a synergistic effect, conspicuously lessens the overpotential, and reinforces the yield-rate and faradaic efficiency of NH for electrochemical nitrate-ammonia conversion. This study underlines the spontaneous redox between the catalysts and substrate, rendering it as a synthetic strategy for designing genuine and well-dispersed active sites.

Athermal (i.e., zero-temperature) underconstrained systems are typically floppy, but they can be rigidified by the application of external strain, which is theoretically well understood.

Dental ultrasonic scalers are commonly employed in periodontal treatment; however, their ability to roughen tooth surfaces is a worry since roughness may increase plaque production, a key cause of periodontal disease. This research studied the influence of a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler on the roughness of two distinct flowable composite filling materials. To do this, 10 disc-shaped samples were generated from each of the two flowable composite materials.

In this study, a novel inhibitor of ERCC1/XPF heterodimerization, A4, was used as an inhibitor of repair for DNA damage by platinum-based chemotherapeutics. Nano-formulations of A4 were developed, using self-assembly of the following block copolymers: methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(α-benzyl carboxylate-ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PBCL), methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL), or methoxy-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly (D, L, lactide) (PEO-b-PDLA 50-50). The nano-formulations were characterized for their average diameter, polydispersity, morphology, A4 encapsulation and in vitro release.
