Isomerism of atomically precise noble metal nanoclusters provides an excellent platform to investigate the structure-property correlations of metal nanomaterials. In this study, we performed density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (TD-DFT) calculations on two Au (SR) nanoclusters, one with a hexagonal closed packed core (denoted as Au ), and the other one with a face-centered cubic core (denoted as Au ). The structural and electronic analysis on the typical Au-Au and Au-S bond distances, bond orders, composition of the frontier orbitals and the origin of optical absorptions shed light on the inherent correlations between these two clusters.

Ion transport in solid polymer electrolytes is crucial for applications like energy conversion and storage, as well as carbon dioxide capture. However, most of the materials studied in this area are petroleum-based. Natural materials (biopolymers) have the potential to act as alternatives to petroleum-based products and, when derived with ionic liquid (IL) functionalities, present a sustainable alternative for conductive materials by offering tunable morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties.

3D disordered fibrous network structures (3D-DFNS), such as cytoskeletons, collagen matrices, and spider webs, exhibit remarkable material efficiency, lightweight properties, and mechanical adaptability. Despite their widespread in nature, the integration into engineered materials is limited by the lack of study on their complex architectures. This study addresses the challenge by investigating the structure-property relationships and stability of biomimetic 3D-DFNS using large datasets generated through procedural modeling, coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning.

Noncovalent forces have a significant impact on photophysical properties, and the flexible employment of weak forces facilitates the design of novel luminescent materials with a variety of applications. The arene-perfluoroarene (AP) force, as one type of π-hole/π interaction, shows unique directionality, involving an electron-deficient π-hole interacting with a π-electron-rich region, facilitating precise orientation and stabilization in supramolecular structures. Here we present an amination engineering protocol to build a perfluoroarene library based on an octafluoronaphthalene skeleton with various steric and electronic properties.

Natural polysaccharides have complex structural properties and a wide range of health-promoting effects. Accumulating evidence suggests that the effects are significantly mediated through fermentation by gut microbiota. In recent years, the relationship between the structures of natural polysaccharides and their properties in regulating gut microbiota has garnered significant research attention as researchers attempt to precisely understand the role of gut microbiota in the bioactivities of natural polysaccharides.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a critical half-reaction in water splitting and metal-air cells. The sensitivity of the OER to the composition and structure of the electrocatalyst presents a significant challenge in elucidating the structure-property relationship. In this study, highly stable single-crystal cobalt carbonate hydroxide [Co(OH)CO, CoCH] was used as a model to investigate the correlations among structure, composition, and reactivity.
