New conjugated polymers that incorporate dihexylanthradithiophene (DHADT) in the main chain were prepared by Stille, Sonogashira, and Yamamoto cross-coupling polymerization reactions. The polymerization chemistry is enabled by a soluble 5,11-dibromodihexylanthradithiophene monomer that is capable of cross-coupling reactions. Five readily soluble DHADT containing polymers were prepared and characterized experimentally and computationally. These polymers possess HOMO energies of -5.18 eV to -5.43 eV and LUMO energies of -3.0 eV to -2.82 eV. The notable optical features include broad absorption and band gaps ranging from 1.62 eV to 2.15 eV. Polymers were tested in organic field effect transistors and were found to operate in the p-type regime.

Heterostructures comprise two or more different semiconducting materials stacked either as co-assemblies or self-sorted based on their dynamics of aggregates. However, self-sorting in heterostructures is rather significant in improving the short exciton diffusion length and charge separation. Despite small organic molecules being known for their self-sorting nature, macrocyclic are hitherto unknown owing to unrestrained assemblies from extended π-conjugated systems.

CPNs have been widely employed in gas capture, separation, and adsorption, but the fluorescent properties of CPNs possessing extensive π-conjugated systems tend to be unexplored. Herein, we report the photophysical properties of the CPN and investigate its sensing capability towards hypochlorite.

Selective therapeutic targeting of T-cell malignancies is difficult due to the shared lineage between healthy and malignant T cells. Current front-line chemotherapy for these cancers is largely nonspecific, resulting in frequent cases of relapsed/refractory disease. The development of targeting approaches for effectively treating T-cell leukemia and lymphoma thus remains a critical goal for the oncology field.

To simplify the composition and improve the efficacy of metal-phenolic network (MPN)-based nanomedicine, herein, we designed an MPN platform to deliver programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) antibody (anti-PD-L1) for combined tumor chemo/chemodynamic/immune therapy. Here, generation 5 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers conjugated with gossypol (Gos) through boronic ester bonds were used as a synthetic polyphenol to coordinate Mn, and then complexed with anti-PD-L1 to obtain the nanocomplexes (for short, DPGMA). The prepared DPGMA exhibited good water dispersibility with a hydrodynamic size of 166.

Herein, a novel composite solid-state polymer electrolytes (CSEs) was regulated by introducing CoNi-MOF (Metal-organic framework) @NiPc (Nickel phthalocyanine) nanofiller (CMN) into PEO (polyethylene oxide) matrix. In this novel system, the NiPc uniformly wrapped around the surface of MOF through hydrogen bond bridging, avoiding the agglomeration of the MOF particles. The chemisorption between Ni in NiPc and the O atoms in the bis(triffuoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI) restricted the mobility of the anions within the CSEs, which improved the release of Li ions from the NiPcLi.
