Organic D-π-A materials, possessing intramolecular charge transfer, have attracted much scientific attention in recent years because of their potential applications in the development of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Two new compounds, A1 and A2, having a D-π-A skeleton have been synthesized and single crystals were grown by the solution growth technique. Both compounds were characterized for crystallographic, thermal and photophysical properties. Upon photo-excitation in the solid state, A1 showed very strong green light emission while A2 gave sky-blue emission with much lower intensity. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study revealed that in the crystal lattice of A1, both the donor and acceptor groups are involved in the intermolecular interactions. This results in the restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) of the D and A moieties, and enables A1 to emit more intensely in the solid state due to aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Intense green light emission, along with a good crystalline nature indicates that A1 might be a potential candidate for opto-electronic devices.

Anthropogenic CO emissions are the prime cause of global warming and climate change, promoting researchers to develop suitable technologies to reduce carbon footprints. Among various CO sequestration technologies, microalgal-based methods are found to be promising due to their easier operation, environmental benefits, and simpler equipment requirements. Microalgae-based carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is essential for addressing challenges related to the use of industrial-emitted flue gases.

The use of cell lines as alternative models for environmental physiology studies opens a new window of possibilities and is becoming an increasingly used tool in marine research to fulfil the 3R's rule. In this study, an embryonic monoclonal stem cell line obtained from a marine teleost (gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata) was employed to assess the effects of photoperiod (light/dark cycles vs constant dark) and light spectrum (white, blue, green, blue/green and red lights) on gene expression and rhythms of cellular markers of proliferation, DNA repair, apoptosis and cellular/oxidative stress by RT-qPCR and cosinor analyses. The results obtained revealed the optimal performance of cells under blue light (LDB), with all the genes analysed showing their highest RNA expression levels and most robust daily variations/rhythms in this condition.

Alkali and alkaline-earth metal incorporated 5,5'-dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,3,4-oxadiazole (HDNAO) based Energetic Coordination Polymers (ECPs), namely dipotassium 5,5'-dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,3,4-oxadiazole(KDNAO), dicesium 5,5'-dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,3,4-oxadiazole(CsDNAO) and barium 5,5'-dinitramino-3,3'-azo-1,3,4-oxadiazole(BaDNAO) are synthesized for the first time. Synthesized ECPs are thoroughly characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), elemental analysis (EA), thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV-vis spectroscopy. All ECPs are also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique (SC-XRD).

Triazole Drives Hole Localization and Superoxide Radical Formation for Enhancive Photocatalytic Cascade Isomerization/C─C Bond Scission of Biomass to Lactic Acid.

Chemocatalytic synthesis of lactic acid (LA) from biomass sugars involves heat-absorbing multistep cascade reactions mediated by different active sites, often encountering unsatisfactory selectivity. Here, a hole-localized carbon nitride-based photocatalyst (C-CNN) is constructed by covalent binding of heptazine and triazole skeleton via C─N bonds and further conjugated interaction with activated carbon, achieving the complete conversion of various biomass sugars to LA (up to 98.6% selectivity) at room temperature for 2 h.

Synthetic photochemistry is an alternative, green and sustainable approach in organic synthesis, offering the possibility for the discovery of novel reactivities. Carboxylic acids are abundant and widely used as suitable radical precursors for light-mediated processes, providing access to products that are not accessible via conventional methods. Herein, we report a green, cheap, metal-free, photochemical decarboxylative protocol for the 1,4-radical conjugate addition (Giese reaction) using thioxanthone, a commercially available organic molecule, or a thioxanthone-triflic acid (TfOH) complex, as the photocatalyst, under LED 427 nm irradiation.
