Zwitterionic osmolytes are widely known to have a protein-protective effect against high salt concentration, but a mechanistic picture of osmolyte function remains elusive. Here total scattering is used to determine…
Anion−π+ interaction has gained continuous attention in diverse organic aggregates, which can effectively alter the emission behavior. Herein, the anion−π+ interaction is introduced to the phosphonium salts which exhibit tunable…
Raising the cut-off voltage increases the energy density of LiCoO2 for lithium-ion batteries, but it exacerbates the decomposition of the electrolyte and the capacity decay of LiCoO2. To address such…
Precise molecular recognition depends on the delicate interplay between a guest molecule and a host possessing complementary functional groups. The de novo design of selective artificial receptors remains a formidable…
Redox catalysts play a critical role in chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (CL-ODH). However, challenges persist in modulating lattice oxygen in metal oxides and maintaining surface oxygen coverage to…
Tetrazine-based fluorogenic labels are widely utilized in medical and biological studies, exhibiting substantial fluorescence enhancement (FE) following tetrazine degradation through bio-orthogonal reactions. However, the underlying mechanisms driving this fluorogenic response…
In recent years, birefringent crystals have attracted much attention in the field of optical materials and play a significant role in laser technology and optical imaging. However, commercially available birefringent…
Polaritons, quasiparticles formed from the collective strong coupling of light and matter, have been shown for their capability to modify chemical reactions, energy and charge transport – amazing features that…
Fluorescent nucleobase analogues (FBAs) have emerged as powerful tools for understanding nucleic acid systems at the molecular level. However, their application at the single-molecule level has been limited by low…
The catalytic activity of different classes of boron catalysts was studied in amidation reactions with 4-phenylbutylamine/benzoic acid, and with 2-aminopyridine/phenylacetic acid. Whilst a simple boronic acid catalyst showed high catalytic…
