The anisotropic correlation between buckled dimers on Si(100) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. A bidentate ligand molecule was used to pin two neighboring dimers at 300 K. The chemically pinned dimer in...
A novel bis-EDOT-based monomer with ethylene glycol oligomers was synthesized and shown to exhibit strong ion solvation, good transport properties, and effective charge screening. These properties greatly improved J(SC) ...
A new heterometallic electroactive compound having the ferrocenyl moiety attached to the platinum atom through an amidine functionality has been prepared via Pt(II)-mediated nucleophilic addition of beta-aminoethylferroc...
Two similar dithiafulvalene-fused conjugated polymers, with different donor-acceptor (D-A) structures, were synthesised. The polymers have different band gaps and stacking structures, as proven by the experimental result...
The creation of novel engineered multimodal nanoparticles (NPs) is a key focus in bionanotechnology and can lead to deep understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. Here, we present a multi-component sy...
We report a novel near-infrared fluorescent calcium probe (KFCA), which has good optical properties such as intense NIR fluorescence emission (670 nm, QY:0.24), excellent ON/OFF ratio (120-fold), and good wavelength-comp...
Fine control of the N/S ratio and/or the position of the bridged heteroatoms in mixed heterocalix[4] arenes leads to a new approach to generate inherent chiral scaffolds and represents a new challenge to fine-tune cooper...
Cyclopenicillone (1), possessing a unique 2,5-dimethylcyclopent-2-enone carbon skeleton, has been isolated from the cultures broth of the fungus Penicillium decumbens. The structure and absolute configuration of 1 were e...
A 1D Mo(V)Mn(III) chain compound balanced by {Fe[ HC(3,5-Me(2)pz)(3)](2)}(2+) dications was prepared. This complex displays a typical single-chain magnet character associated with the Mo(V)Mn(III) chain and a spin crosso...
A general chemical approach was used to synthesise NiO-CdS core-shell nanoparticle films as photocathodes for p-type semiconductor- sensitized solar cells. Compared to dye-sensitized NiO photocathodes, the CdS-sensitized...
Acid-base bifunctional activity governed by -NH(2) group's microenvironment is evident from two different catalysts scrutinized by interchanging the location of -SO(3)H/NH(2) groups on periodic mesoporous ethylenesilica....
Selective nucleophilic substitution on a perfluorophenyl unit comprising a BODIPY fluorophore using an alkanethiol or a primary amine offers a quantitative fluorophore labelling strategy, while retaining high photostabil...
