Both 3D organic-inorganic perovskites ([Et3P(CH2)2Cl][Cd(dca)3] (1) and [Et3P(CH2)2F][Cd(dca)3] (2) [dca = dicyanamide, N(CN)2-]) display two sequentially reversible high-temperature phase transitions and switchable dielectric properties. Through halogen substitution, 1 shows exceptional switching behaviour of second harmonic generation effects and remarkably 2 represents the first above-room-temperature 3D ferroelastic material characterized by two ferroelastic phases.

This paper presents the results of quantum-chemical modeling performed by the Density Functional-Based Tight Binding (DFTB) method to investigate the change in the band structure of hybrid materials based on carbon nanotubes and unsubstituted, tetra-, or octa-halogen-substituted zinc phthalocyanines upon the adsorption of ammonia molecules. The study showed that the electrical conductivity of these materials and its changes in the case of interaction with ammonia molecules depend on the position of the impurity band formed by the orbitals of macrocycle atoms relative to the forbidden energy gap of the hybrids. The sensor response of the hybrids containing halogenated phthalocyanines was lower by one or two orders of magnitude, depending on the number of substituents, compared to the hybrid with unsubstituted zinc phthalocyanine.

This paper explores a novel group of D-π-A configurations that has been specifically created for organic solar cell applications. In these material compounds, the phenothiazine, the furan, and two derivatives of the thienyl-fused IC group act as the donor, the π-conjugated spacer, and the end-group acceptors, respectively. We assess the impact of substituents by introducing bromine atoms at two potential substitution sites on each end-group acceptor (EG1 and EG2).

Background: Cancer presents a significant global health challenge, necessitating effective treatment strategies. While chemotherapy is widely employed, its non-specific nature can induce adverse effects on normal cells, prompting the exploration of targeted therapies. The 1,2,4-triazole scaffold has emerged as a promising element in anticancer drug development due to its structural diversity and potential to target cancer cells.
