Back flip: Field-induced transformations between the two homogeneously chiral enantiomers of a bent-core mesogen (see picture) take place by two different mechanisms (A and B). Their combination leads to an unexpected field-induced chirality flipping (C) between the oppositely tilted structures without polarity revers…

Inside knowledge: The true internal structure of a complex concentric circular hexagonal mesostructure has been solved for the first time by using electron tomography. This technique allows the mesostructure containing closed rings to be differentiated from a closed helical mesostructure. The key step is the use of to…

Changing direction: Gold electrodes have been linked to CdS nanoparticles through a β-cyclodextrin bridging unit (see scheme). The encapsulation of I3− or N,N′-dioctyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (octyl viologen) in the β-cyclodextrin cavities leads to enhanced photocurrents that are direction-controlled by the nature of the gu…

We carry out a detailed deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of local nematic ordering in polydomain nematic elastomers. This system has a close analogy to the random-anisotropy spin glass. We find that, in spite of the quadrupolar nematic symmetry in three dimensions requiring a first-order transition, th…

We demonstrate that a metamaterial formed by crossed metallic wires is characterized by an anomalously high index of refraction. Such property does not rely on a resonant response of the inclusions, but rather is a consequence of the ultrahigh density of the wires and of the strong electromagnetic interaction between…

The hydrogen storage material of Ti-doped Na alanate has been studied by using both experimental and theoretical Ti K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis. The results suggest the existence of small TiAl x Ti y nanoclusters with not more than 13−35 atoms in NaAlH 4 after the intercalation of Ti a…

Quantum chemical calculations on single molecules were performed to provide insight into the decomposition mechanism of shocked RDX. These calculations complement time-resolved spectroscopy measurements on shock wave compressed RDX crystals (previous paper, this issue). It is proposed that unimolecular decomposition i…

A question of shape: Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of borylporphyrins has led to the synthesis of a β-to-β thienylene-bridged porphyrin dimer and two types of trimer (see picture; gray C; white H, pink Ni, yellow S, blue N). The ladderlike trimer exhibits a very large two-photon absorption cross-section (17 300 G…
