Diamondoids, sp -hybridized nanometer-sized diamond-like hydrocarbons (nanodiamonds), difunctionalized with hydroxy and primary phosphine oxide groups, enable the assembly of the first sp -C-based chemical sensors by vapor deposition. Both pristine nanodiamonds and palladium nanolayered composites can be used to detect toxic NO and NH gases. This carbon-based gas sensor technology allows reversible NO detection down to 50 ppb and NH detection at 25-100 ppm concentration with fast response and recovery processes at 100 °C. Reversible gas adsorption and detection is compatible with 50 % humidity conditions. Semiconducting p-type sensing properties are achieved from devices based on primary phosphine-diamantanol, in which high specific area (ca. 140 m g ) and channel nanoporosity derive from H-bonding.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a method to create homochiral superhelical covalent organic frameworks (COFs) by adjusting the lengths of alkyl chains in organic linkers.
- These COFs, specifically COF-13-OEt, form distinct right- and left-handed superhelical fibers due to optimal ethoxyl substituents, while other variants exhibit different shapes.
- The superhelical structures enhance their chiral recognition abilities, demonstrating significantly better enantioselectivity in binding carbohydrates and exhibiting notable chiral-induced spin selectivity compared to non-helical structures.

Diamondoid molecules and their derivatives have attracted attention as fascinating building blocks for advanced functional materials. Depending on the balance between hydrogen bonds and London dispersion interactions, they can self-organize in different cluster structures with functional groups tailored for various applications. Here, we present a new approach to supramolecular aggregation where self-assembly of diamondoid acids and alcohols in the ultracold environment of superfluid helium nanodroplets (HNDs) was analyzed by a combination of time-of-flight mass spectrometry and computational tools.

Introduction of adamantane moieties on diamondoids such as adamantane, 2-azaadamantane or diamantane by amide formation and reduction to the corresponding amine was performed in a straightforward and easy way by amidation under Schotten-Baumann conditions and reduction with BH ⋅ THF. The obtained amides and amines were studied in terms of structural properties towards the perspective of transformation into nanodiamonds. Crystal structure and dynamic NMR experiments of the most crowded amide obtained gave structural insights into the effect of bulkiness and steric strain on out-of-planarity of amide bonds (16.

Background: The brain is a vital and composite organ. By nature, the innate make-up of the brain is such that in anatomical parlance, it is highly protected by the "Blood-Brain Barrier", which is a nexus of capillary endothelial cells, basement membrane, neuroglial membrane and glialpodocytes. The same barrier, which protects and isolates the interstitial fluid of the brain from capillary circulation, also restricts the therapeutic intervention.
