Breathable and waterproof membranes that self-seal damaged areas are prepared by modifying a poly(ether ester) membrane with an amphiphilic polymer co-network. The latter swells in water and the gel closes punctures. Damaged composite membranes remain water tight up to pressures of at least 1.6 bar. This material is u…

Using a purification method introduced earlier based on redox properties it was possible to isolate Sc3N@I(h)-C80 and Sc3N@D(3h)-C78 and a mixture of Sc3N@D(5h)-C80 and Sc3N@D3-C68. Taking advantage of their chemical reactivity differences, Sc3N@D(5h)-C80 was isolated from Sc3N@D3-C68 followed by further functionaliza…

Membrane transporters actively translocate their substrate by undergoing large-scale structural transitions between inward- (IF) and outward-facing (OF) states ('alternating-access' mechanism). Despite extensive structural studies, atomic-level mechanistic details of such structural transitions, and as importantly, th…

The adsorption and reactions of water on surfaces has attracted great interest, as water is involved in many physical and chemical processes at interfaces. On metal surfaces, the adsorption energy of water is comparable to the hydrogen bond strength in water. Therefore, the delicate balance between the water-water and…

Cancer treatment suffers from limitations that have a major impact on the patient's quality of life and survival. In the case of chemotherapy, the systemic distribution of cytotoxic drugs reduces their efficacy and causes severe side effects due to nonselective toxicity. Photopharmacology allows a novel approach to ad…

We report on a visible-light-absorbing chiral molecular triangle composed of three covalently linked 1,6,7,12-tetra(phenoxy)perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) units. The rigid triangular architecture reduces the electronic coupling between the PDIs, so ultrafast symmetry-breaking charge separation is kinetical…
