Perovskite-based semiconductors, such as methylammonium and cesium lead halides (MPbX3: M = CH3NH3+ or Cs+; X I–, Br–, Cl–), have attracted immense attention for several applications, including radiation detection, due to their excellent electronic optical properties.1,2,3,4,5,6 In addition, the combination of perovskites with other materials enables unique device structures. For example, robust reliable diodes result when combined metal oxide semiconductors. This can be used detection...
The solution-state fluxional behavior of bullvalene has fascinated physical organic and supramolecular chemists alike. Little effort, however, been put into investigating applications in bulk, partially due to difficulties characterizing such dynamic systems. To address this knowledge gap, we herein probe whether Hardy-Cope rearrangements can be mechanically perturbed bulk polymer networks. We use mechanical analysis demonstrate that the activation barrier glass transition process is...
The solution-state fluxional behavior of bullvalene, first investigated over 60 years ago, has fascinated physical organic and supramolecular chemists alike. Little effort, however, been put into investigating bullvalene applications in the bulk, partially due to difficulties characterizing such dynamic systems. To address this fundamental knowledge gap, herein we probe whether Hardy-Cope rearrangements can be mechanically perturbed bulk polymer networks. We demonstrate impact fluxionality...
Redox-active polymers serving as the active materials in solid-state electrodes offer a promising path toward realizing all-organic batteries. While both cathodic and anodic redox-active are needed, diversity of available is limited. Here, we predict structural, ionic, electronic properties anodic, phthalimide-containing using multiscale approach that combines atomistic molecular dynamics, structure calculations, machine learning surrogate models. Importantly, by combining information from...
