This study presents a series of triphenylmethyl monoradicals incorporating varying numbers of peripheral perylene bisimide (PBI) substituents (1PBI-TTM⋅, 2PBI-TTM⋅ and 3PBI-TTM⋅). The incorporation of electron-withdrawing PBI substituents significantly enhances the stability of these carbon radicals, enabling them to display exceptional electrochemical redox reversibility. Notably, the electronic interplay between the PBI substituents and the central triphenylmethyl core facilitates unique and reversible multi-step redox reactions. Among the reported radicals, the tris-PBI-functionalized radical (3PBI-TTM⋅) demonstrates the remarkable ability to accommodate up to seven electrons under negative potentials, forming high valence anions. This research promotes the development of highly stable carbon radicals with superior electrochemical oxidation-reduction processes, presenting promising avenues for the advancement of electric energy storage technologies.

Transition-metal-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions are typically performed in organic solvents under inert and anhydrous conditions due to the involved air and water-sensitive nature of reactive intermediates. Overall, this study provides insights into the iron-based ([Fe(PBI)](CFSO) (1), where PBI = 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole), catalytic and stoichiometric aziridination of styrenes using PhINTs ([(-tosylimino)iodo]benzene), highlighting the importance of reaction conditions including the effects of the solvent, co-ligands (-substituted pyridines), and substrate substituents on the product yields, selectivity, and reaction kinetics. The aziridination reactions with /PhINTs showed higher conversion than epoxidation with 1/PhIO (iodosobenzene).

High-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) are gaining more and more attention due to their higher efficiency than low-temperature ones. Polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes are the most popular membranes used in HT-PEMFCs. However, their chemical stability and chemical degradation mechanisms, which directly affect the lifetime of fuel cells, have been hardly reported.

Efficient exciton transport is essential for high-performance optoelectronics. Considerable efforts have been focused on improving the exciton mobility in organic materials. While it is feasible to improve mobility in organic systems by forming well-ordered stacks, the formation of trap states, particularly the lower-lying states referred to as excimers, remains a significant challenge to enhancing mobility.

Despite impressive demonstrations of memristive behavior with halide perovskites, no clear pathway for material and device design exists for their applications in neuromorphic computing. Present approaches are limited to single element structures, fall behind in terms of switching reliability and scalability, and fail to map out the analog programming window of such devices. Here, we systematically design and evaluate robust pyridinium-templated one-dimensional halide perovskites as crossbar memristive materials for artificial neural networks.
