While there are intensive studies on the coalescence of sessile macroscale droplets, there is little study on the coalescence of sessile microdroplets. In this paper, the coalescence process of two sessile microdroplets is studied by using a many-body dissipative particle dynamics numerical method. A comprehensive par…

Spiropyran (SP), which can respond to acid, ultraviolet irradiation, and mechanical force, has received great attention as a classic molecule for the construction of stimuli-responsive materials. However, the self-assembly behavior of SP with a tunable morphology has rarely been investigated. In the present work, a SP…

The construction of lanthanide(III) chelates that exhibit superior photophysical properties holds great importance in biological and materials science. One strategy to increase the luminescence properties of lanthanide(III) chelates is to hinder competitive non-radiative decay processes through perfluorination of the…

Abstract Reversible homolytic dissociation of the bis(pyrimidinenorcorrole) σ‐dimer was elucidated by means of variable temperature ESR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and optical spectrocopy. Dehydrogenation of the σ‐dimer yielded another dimer displaying a singlet–triplet equilibrium in solution, strong…
