Experimentalists are challenged to find the organometallic thermal electrocyclizations that are computationally predicted to proceed with opposite stereoselectivity compared to their metal-free parent 4n and 4n+2 π-electron systems. While ring closure of, for example, s-cis-butadiene proceeds conrotatory, an iron alkyl complex formed by replacement of a (CH) unit by an [FeH] metal fragment results in a disrotatory electrocyclization.

Enhancing Reverse Intersystem Crossing in TSCT-TADF Emitters: Heavy Atom Modulation of Multiresonance Acceptors.
J Phys Chem A

With the rapid development of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, achieving efficient reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) to mitigate triplet-triplet annihilation has emerged as a prominent research focus. This study investigates five derivative molecules, featuring varied bridging atoms/groups (O, S, Se, -CH-), designed from the reported TADF molecule with through-space charge transfer (TSCT) properties. Utilizing time-dependent density functional theory coupled with a PCM solution model, their excited state behaviors were simulated in a toluene environment.

Triggering the anionic redox reaction is an effective approach to boost the capacity of layered transition metal (TM) oxides. However, the irreversible oxygen release and structural deterioration at high voltage remain conundrums. Herein, a strategy for Mg ion and vacancy dual doping with partial TM ions pinned in the Na layers is developed to improve both the reversibility of anionic redox reaction and structural stability of layered oxides.

Article Synopsis
- Organic cathode materials are promising for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) due to their low cost and tunable properties, with benzothiadiazoles showing potential for effective electron acceptance.
- A new polymer, PBDQ-N, was designed by adding nitro groups to enhance electron delocalization and increase active sites, resulting in better zinc-ion insertion/extraction.
- PBDQ-N exhibited exceptional electrochemical performance with a specific capacity of 446.2 mAh/g and a cycle life of over 20,000 cycles, highlighting the importance of molecular design in optimizing battery materials.
Ferro-Valleytricity with In-Plane Spin Magnetization.
Nano Lett

Ferro-valleytricity that manifests spin-orbit coupling (SOC)-induced spontaneous valley polarization is generally considered to occur in two-dimensional (2D) materials with out-of-plane spin magnetization. Here, we propose a mechanism to realize SOC-induced valley polarization and ferro-valleytricity in 2D materials with in-plane spin magnetization, wherein the physics correlates to non-collinear magnetism in triangular lattice. Our model analysis provides comprehensive ingredients that allow for ferro-valleytricity with in-plane spin magnetization, revealing that mirror symmetry favors remarkable valley polarization and time-reversal-mirror joint symmetry should be excluded.

Concurrent superconductivity and negative photoconductivity (NPC) are rarely observed. Here, the discovery in PbSeTe of superconductivity and photoconductivity transitions between positive photoconductivity (PPC) and NPC during compression is reported to ≈40 GPa and subsequent decompression, which are also accompanied by reversible structure transitions (3D Fm m ⇌ 2D Pnma ⇌ 3D Pm m). Superconductivity with a maximum T of ≈6.
