Abstract A new dicyanodistyrylbenzene‐based phasmidic molecule, (2Z,2′Z)‐2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis(3‐(3,4,5‐tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)acrylonitrile), GDCS, is reported, which forms a hexagonal columnar liquid crystal (LC) phase at room temperature (RT). GDCS molecules self‐assemble into supramolecular disks consisting of pair in side‐by‐side disposition assisted by secondary bonding interactions the lateral polar cyano group, which, turn, constitute LC structure. shows very intense green/yellow...

The simultaneous size- and shape-dependent dynamics different guest molecules is observed in situ, real time with submolecular resolution using scanning tunneling microscope both interface under vacuum. temperature-dependent reveals that diffusion proceeds through thermally activated channeling between single-molecule surface cavities.
The electroluminescence of a polythiophene wire suspended between metallic surface and the tip scanning tunneling microscope is reported. Under positive sample voltage, spectral voltage dependencies emitted light are consistent with fluorescence junction mediated by localized plasmons. This emission strongly attenuated for opposite polarity. Both mechanism polarity dependence similar to what occurs in organic emitting diodes (OLED) but at level single molecular wire.
We present the rational design of an organic cage combining electron-donating (D) triazatruxene and electron-accepting (A) triphenyl triazine connected by three electronically inert pillars.

Such induces efficient intramolecular through-space charge transfer (TSCT), providing small singlet–triplet energy difference (ΔEST) 0.049 eV, thus gives rise thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF)...
Clip chemistry: When a fully deterministic strategy that parallels polymer chemistry is used, mono-, bi-, and trifunctional clip-bearing building blocks form noncovalent surface-self-assembled dimers, polymers, 2D networks, respectively (see scheme). These entities can then be subjected to further higher-level manipulations, as shown by controlled reorganization (cyclization) of polymerlike chain around molecular block.
