The unimolecular rectifier is a fundamental building block of molecular electronics. Rectification in single molecules can arise from electron transfer between molecular orbitals displaying asymmetric spatial charge distributions, akin to p–n junction diodes in semiconductors. Here we report a novel all-hydrocarbon mo…

Extensive study of the electronic structure of Fe-NO complexes using a variety of spectroscopic methods was attempted to understand how iron controls the binding and release of nitric oxide. The comparable energy levels of NO π* orbitals and Fe 3d orbitals complicate the bonding interaction within Fe-NO complexes and…

Reaction of KH with elemental tellurium, in the presence of 18-crown-6, results in the formation of the ditelluride, [K(18-crown-6)]2[Te2] (1), in good yield. Similarly, reaction of KH with elemental selenium, in the presence of 18-crown-6, results in the formation of [K(18-crown-6)]2[Se4] (4). Both 1 and 4 are capabl…

A new colorimetric probe has been developed for the detection and estimation of Pd(II) at sub-nanomolar concentrations. The probe consisted of rhodamine (signaling unit), which was linked with a bis-picolyl moiety (binding site) through a phenyl ring. Pd(II) induced opening of the spirolactam ring of the probe with th…

Abstract An important challenge in asymmetric cascade reactions is solving the intrinsic incompatibility of two types of distinct organometallic complexes that participate in a one‐pot reaction. Herein, we develop an organoruthenium‐/organopalladium‐bifunctionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica and realize one‐pot…

The gravity-driven flow of a thin liquid film down a uniformly heated vertical fiber is considered. This is an unstable open flow that exhibits rich dynamics including the formation of droplets, or beads, driven by a Rayleigh-Plateau mechanism modified by the presence of gravity as well as the variation of surface ten…

This work describes an efficient synthetic method for creating ladder-type, oligomeric donor monomers with fused thienobenzothiophene structures. These monomers are copolymerized with fluorinated thieno[3,4- b ]thiophene ester to form a series of polymers which are investigated as donor materials in polymer/fullerene…

The enzyme flavocytochrome c3 (fcc3), which catalyzes hydrogenation across a C═C double bond (fumarate to succinate), is used to carry out the fuel-forming reaction in an artificial photosynthesis system. When immobilized on dye-sensitized TiO2 nanoparticles, fcc3 catalyzes visible-light-driven succinate production in…

Death Receptor 5 (DR5) is a pro-apoptotic cell-surface receptor that is a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Despite the potency of DR5-targeting agents in preclinical models, the translation of these effects into the clinic remains disappointing. Herein, we report an alternative approach to exploiting DR5 tumor…
