A molecular Faraday optical filter (MFOF) working in the mid-infrared region is realized for the first time. NO molecule was used as the working material of the MFOF for potential applications in atmospheric remote sensing and combustion diagnosis. We develop a complete theory to describe the performance of MFOF by taking both Zeeman absorption and Faraday rotation into account. We also record the Faraday rotation transmission (FRT) signal using a quantum cascade laser over the range of 1,820 cm to 1,922 cm and calibrate it by using a 101.6 mm long solid germanium etalon with a free spectral range of 0.012 cm. Good agreement between the simulation results and experimental data is achieved. The NO-MFOF's transmission characteristics as a function of magnetic field and pressure are studied in detail. Both Comb-like FRT spectrum and single branch transmission spectrum are obtained by changing the magnetic field. The diversity of FRT spectrum expands the range of potential applications in infrared optical remote sensing. This filtering method can also be extended to the lines of other paramagnetic molecules.

The interaction of defects has been proven effective in regulating the mechanical properties of structural materials, while its influence on the physicochemical performance of functional materials has been rarely reported. Herein, we synthesized Ag nanorods with dense stacking faults and investigated how the defect interaction affects the catalytic properties. We found that the stacking faults can couple with each other to form a unique structure of opposite atoms with extortionately high tensile strain.

Developing a multi-site Pd-based electrocatalyst for CO-to-C1 conversion with high performance and selectivity in the hydrogenation pathway for the CO electroreduction reaction is both desirable and challenging. Here, we develop triple-site metallene (PdBiIn), which can achieve an unprecedented Faraday efficiency of 72.6 ± 1% for methanol production.

Four cobalt-based metal-organic frameworks (Co-MOFs) based on different ligands with varying electron-donating properties (dpt = 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole, NH₂bdc = 5-aminoisophthalic acid, OHbdc = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, H₂tdc = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid, and hfipbb = 4,4'-(hexafluoropropane-2,2-diyl)bisbenzoic acid) are synthesized. Among them, Co-dpt-NH₂bdc demonstrates the highest nitrogen reduction reaction activity, achieving an ammonia (NH) yield of 68.61 µg·h⁻¹·mg⁻¹ and Faraday efficiency (FE) of 6.

Article Synopsis
- Generative models for designing molecules have not shown significant improvements over traditional expert intuition, particularly in predicting specific properties due to limited data availability.
- A major challenge is that there are often very few samples for desired properties, making it hard to accurately map properties to molecular structures.
- The authors propose that providing multiple properties during training can enhance the accuracy of generative models, leading to new models they call "large property models" (LPMs) which incorporate a wealth of available chemical property data to improve predictions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the potential of molecular nanographenes for next-gen optoelectronics, particularly focusing on chiral versions that show unique optical properties but are challenging to synthesize in pure forms.
- - Traditional methods for obtaining chiral nanographenes involve costly HPLC for separating racemic mixtures, while only limited examples of direct enantioselective synthesis exist in literature.
- - The authors propose a simpler chemical method for chiral resolution of helical bilayer nanographenes, utilizing BINOL and camphorsulfonyl chloride, leading to scalable production of enantiomerically pure nanographenes without relying on HPLC.
