2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane connected to two pyrene moieties through flexible wires in chloroform exhibited cryptochirality in the ground state, as proven by the lack of detectable circular dichroism signals. This cryptochirality was deciphered in the photoexcited state by circularly polarised luminescence signals.

Physicochemical properties of polymers strongly depend on the arrangement and distribution of attached monomers. Templated polymerization using porous crystalline materials appears as a promising route to gain control on the process. Thus, we demonstrate here the potential of metal-organic frameworks as scaffolds with a versatile and very regular porosity, well adapted for the regioselective oxidative polymerization of pyrene.

Charge transfer (CT) is key for molecular photonics, governing the optical properties of chromophores comprising electron-rich and electron-deficient components. In photoexcited dyes with an acceptor-donor-acceptor or donor-acceptor-donor architecture, CT breaks their quadrupolar symmetry and yields dipolar structures manifesting pronounced solvatochromism. Herein, we explore the effects of electronic coupling through biaryl linkers on the excited-state symmetry breaking of such hybrid dyes composed of an electron-rich core, , 1,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,2-]pyrrole (DHPP), and pyrene substituents that can act as electron acceptors.

Although clusters made of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and water monomers are relevant objects in both atmospheric and astrophysical science, little is known about their energetic and structural properties. In this work, we perform global explorations of the potential energy landscapes of neutral clusters made of two pyrene units and one to ten water molecules using a density-functional-based tight-binding (DFTB) potential followed by local optimizations at the density-functional theory level. We discuss the binding energies with respect to various dissociation channels.

The development of an efficient, sustainable, and inexpensive metal-free catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) photoelectrochemical water splitting is very demanding for energy conversion processes such as green fuel generators, fuel cells, and metal-air batteries. Herein, we have developed a metal-free pyrene-based nitrogen and sulfur containing conjugated microporous polymer having a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area (761 m g) and a low bandgap of 2.09 eV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline solution.

Guanosine penta- or tetraphosphate (pppGpp or ppGpp, respectively) is a nucleotide signalling molecule with a marked effect on bacterial physiology during stress. Its accumulation slows down cell metabolism and replication, supposedly leading to the formation of the antibiotic-tolerant persister phenotype. A specifically tailored fluorescent chemosensor, PyDPA, allows the detection of (p)ppGpp in solution with high selectivity, relative to that of other nucleotides.
