Solvent-induced structural transformations and reversible crystalline–amorphous phase changes in a bianthracene-based copper metal–organic framework.
The length and orientation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) synthesized from molecules fixed in monolayers are significantly different from those synthesized from diffusing molecules.
Here, we report a new on-surface synthetic strategy to precisely introduce five-membered units into conjugated polymers from specifically designed precursor molecules that give rise to low-bandgap fulvalene-bridged bisanthene polymers.
Six ortho-carboranyl compounds were prepared based on 9H-fluorene, each with a different electron-donating ability. Their crystalline-state emission revealed that the radiative efficiency are significantly influenced by electron-donating properties.
Enabled by energy transfer to low-lying states, photoexcitation of ferrocenyl substituted dianthryl sulfoxide results in new photochemistry.
