We study the multipole plasmon mode frequencies of a pair of C60 molecules by means of the linearized hydrodynamic theory for electronic excitations on the each C60 surface. We apply the two-center spherical coordinate system for mathematical convenience and find an explicit form of the surface plasmon energies. Numerical result shows when approaching the two C60 molecules, the coupling between the bare plasmon modes leads to the appearance of additional modes having energies that are different from those of the isolated C60 molecules.

The synthesis of perfluoroalkylated fullerenes (PFAFs) holds significant importance due to their enhanced molecular stability, increased lipophilicity, and high electron affinity. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction conducted under aerobic conditions, which enables the production of highly soluble PFAFs with half-wave reduction potentials similar to those of C. Furthermore, the challenges posed by C-F coupling in carbon signal assignment were addressed through fluorine-decoupled carbon spectroscopy, facilitating precise structural characterization of the perfluoroalkyl moieties.

The electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has been regarded as a green and promising alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process. However, the high bond energy (940.95 kJ mol) of the NN triple bond hinders the adsorption and activation of N molecules, which is a critical factor restricting the catalytic performance of catalysts and their large-scale applications.

Undesirable loss of open-circuit voltage and current of metal halide perovskite (MHP) solar cells are closely associated with defects, so theoretical calculations have been often performed to scrutinize the nature of defects in bulk of MHPs. Yet, exploring the properties of defects at surfaces of MHPs is severely lacking given the complexity of the surface defects with high concentrations. In this study, I (Pb) antisite defects, namely one Pb (I) site being occupied by one I (Pb) atom at the surfaces of the FAPbI (FA=CH(NH)) material, are found to create electron (hole) traps when the surfaces with I (Pb) antisite defects are negatively (positively) charged.

Supramolecular chemistry of carbon-based materials provides a variety of chemical structures with potential applications in materials science and biomedicine. Here, we explore the supramolecular complexation of fullerenes C and C, highlighting the ability of molecular nanographene tweezers to capture these structures. The binding constant for the CNG-1⊃C complex was significantly higher than for CNG-1⊃C, showing a clear selectivity for the more π-extended C.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Kcoronene, a potassium-intercalated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, detailing its synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties while outlining a computational method to identify suitable PAHs for metal intercalation.
- Coronene was selected based on a screening of its electronic structure and available void space, demonstrating stability when intercalated with three potassium ions per coronene molecule.
- Despite structural changes and disorder caused by potassium intercalation, Kcoronene did not exhibit superconductivity, which contrasts with earlier findings and may be linked to the extensive structural disruption observed.
