Fully conjugated ladder polymers (cLPs), in which all the backbone units on polymer main-chain are π-conjugated and fused, have attracted great interest owing to their intriguing properties, remarkable chemical thermal stability, potential suitability as functional organic materials. The synthesis of cLPs can be, general, achieved by two main strategies: single-step ladderization post-polymerization ladderization. Although a variety synthetic methods been developed, chemistry must contend...

Abstract A standard P adsorption procedure was proposed and the ability of four laboratories to produce consistent results over a wide range soils determined. For this procedure, 0.5 1.0 g soil were shaken in 0.01 mol L −1 CaCl 2 at soil/solution ratio 1:25 containers allowing 50% head space for 24 h 26°C on an end‐over‐end shaker. Initial dissolved inorganic concentrations 0 323 µ (as KH PO 4 or NaH ) used microbial activity inhibited by 20 chloroform. Excellent agreement between obtained...

It is highly desirable to develop compact- and robust-film jumping robots that can withstand severe conditions. Besides, the demands for strong actuation force, large bending curvature in a short response time, good environmental tolerance are significant challenges material design. To address these challenges, this paper reports fabrication of thin-film actuator, which exhibits shrimp-shell architecture, from conjugated ladder polymer (cLP) connected by carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets. The...
The synthesis of a carbazole-derived, well-defined ladder polymer was achieved under thermodynamic control by employing reversible ring-closing olefin metathesis.
The fate of phosphorus in terrestrial ecosystems is concern because it has been identified as a major contributor to eutrophication surface water supplies. In order ascertain the impact inorganic phosphate on quality, chemical speciation, concentration, bio‐availability, and distribution soil‐water system are prerequisites. Environmental regulations land disposal organic wastes also require quantifying partitioning between solid solution phases systems. develop partition coefficient or...
Stimuli‐responsive supramolecular materials are of paramount importance for a broad range applications. It is essential to impart versatility, sustainability, and scalability into these materials. Herein the authors report design synthesis new class thermochromic materials, which can easily be processed from water via reversible sol–gel transition.

Stimuli-responsive materials, such as thermochromics, have found mass usage and profitability in manufacturing process control. Imparting charge-transfer-based functional supramolecular materials with tunable thermochromism emerges an ideal strategy to construct optically responsive multifunctional assemblies. Herein, the authors report a new series of thermochromic assembled water. These assemblies are composed bis-bipyridinium-derived acceptor commercially available donors—namely,...
Well-defined, fused-ring aromatic oligomers represent promising candidates for the fundamental understanding and application of advanced carbon-rich materials, though bottom-up synthesis structure-property correlation these compounds remain challenging.

Abstract Soils were extracted successively with 1 N NH 4 Cl, 0.5 F, 0.1 NaOH and H 2 SO solutions to represent water‐soluble, aluminum, iron calcium phosphates, respectively. Over 80% of the added phosphorus was retained by soils as aluminum phosphates. Less than 10% in water‐soluble phosphate forms. The balance not accounted for may have been forms other those mentioned. ratio phosphates increased rates applied three soils. This more evident Red Bay fine sandy loam Norfolk loamy sand Leon...
Selective desorption of (6,5) single-wall carbon nanotubes from hydrogels only occurs at specific co-surfactant ratios. High-purity fractions are obtained this ratio even with long elution times and different total concentrations. These results suggest that each (n,m) type forms a thermodynamically-stable surfactant structure in the solution, enabling high-fidelity separations single column.
Abstract Pertaining to motion of a rigid particle in flow, several distinct “centers” the body can be identified, including geometric center (centroid), mass, hydrodynamic center, and diffusion. In this work, we elucidate relevance these centers Brownian Starting from microscopic stochastic equations motions, systematically derive coarse-grained Fokker-Planck that govern evolution probability distribution function (PDF) phase space configurational space. For consistency with equilibrium...

A highly efficient and feasible "condensation followed by annulation" synthetic approach was developed to afford a subset of 9-ring-fused quinacridone derivatives on 10 g scale. Despite the amenable intermolecular hydrogen-bonding ability these rigid molecules, good solubility in common organic solvents solution processability into uniformed thin films were achieved. Integrated advantages synthesis properties make compounds ideal building blocks for high-performance dyes optoelectronic materials.
