Cadmium ions (Cd) are similar to calcium ions (Ca) in size, whereas the Cd ions tend to form covalent bonds with the neighboring anions because of the high electronegativity. The covalent Cd-O bonds affect other metal-oxygen bonds, inducing drastic changes in crystal structures and electronic states. Herein, we demonstrate high-pressure synthesis, crystal structure, and properties of a new quadruple perovskite CdCuFeO. This compound exhibits an electronic phase transition accompanying a charge disproportionation of Fe ions without charge ordering below ∼200 K, unlike charge-disproportionation transition with rock-salt-type charge ordering for CaCuFeO. First-principle calculations and Mössbauer spectroscopy display that covalent Cd-O bonds effectively suppress the Fe-O bond covalency, resulting in an electronic state different from that of CaCuFeO. This finding proposes covalency competition among constituent metal ions dominating electronic states of complex metal oxides.

Despite the unprecedented therapeutic potential of immune checkpoint antibody therapies, their efficacy is limited partly by the dysfunction of T cells within the cancer microenvironment. Combination therapies with small molecules have also been explored, but their clinical implementation has been met with significant challenges. To search for antitumor immunity activators, the present study developed a cell-based system that emulates cancer-attenuated T cells.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with highly ordered structures and predictable optoelectronic properties provide an ideal platform to investigate the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance based on organic materials by atomically varying the molecular construction. Herein, the effect of imine-bond orientation on the ECL performance of COFs is investigated. We report two COFs (NC-COF and CN-COF) with different orientations of imine bonds using pyrene donor units (D) and bipyridine acceptor motifs (A) monomers.

Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) dependent Lysyl hydroxylase (LH) is a critical enzyme in the post-translational conversion of lysine into hydroxylysine in collagen triple helix and telopeptide regions. Overexpression of LH increases collagen hydroxylation and covalent cross-linkage, causing fibrosis. Currently, no drugs are available to inhibit LH potentially.

Metastable supramolecular polymerization under kinetic control has recently been recognized as a closer way to biosystem than thermodynamic process. While impressive works on metastable supramolecular systems have been reported, the library of available non-covalent driving modes is still small and a simple yet versatile solution is highly desirable to design for easily regulating the energy landscapes of metastable aggregation. Herein, we propose a coopetition-driven metastability strategy for parallel/perpendicular aromatic stacking to construct metastable supramolecular polymers derived from a class of simple monomers consisting of lateral indoles and aromatic core.
