The zigzag-edged triangular graphene molecules (ZTGMs) have been predicted to host ferromagnetically coupled edge states with the net spin scaling molecular size, which affords large tunability crucial for next-generation spintronics. However, scalable synthesis of ZTGMs and direct observation their long-standing challenges because molecules' high chemical instability. Here, we report bottom-up π-extended [5]triangulene atomic precision via surface-assisted cyclodehydrogenation a rationally...
Self-assembly of trimesic acid (TMA) displayed remarkable abundance over its full coverage range on gold under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Experiments showed that previously well-reported "chicken wire" and "flower" structures were actually two special cases within coverage. All observed assembling formed hexagonal porous networks could be well-described by a unified model in which the TMA molecules inside half unit cells (equilateral triangles) bound via trimeric hydrogen bonds all...
Despite the great potential of cuproptosis in tumor therapy, current cuproptosis‐based therapy still suffers from compromised efficiency immune activation. Pyroptosis, a proinflammatory cell death modality, provides good opportunity to induce immunogenic (ICD) and promote systemic response. However, synergistic pyroptosis has not been fully explored. Herein, it is discovered that Cu(II)‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles (NPs) can synergistically evoke ICD for high‐efficiency...
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) manifest in various polymorphs, which deliver different electronic properties; the most prominent among them include semiconducting 2H phase and metallic 1T (or distorted 1T′ phase) phase. Alkali intercalation or interface strain has been used to induce semiconductor-to-metal a monolayer MoS2 sheet, leading exotic quantum states improved performance catalysis. However, direct growth of is challenging due its metastability. Here, we...
Ullmann coupling of 4-bromobiphenyl thermally catalyzed on Ag(111), Cu(111), and Cu(100) surfaces was scrutinized by scanning tunneling microscopy as well theoretical calculations. Detailed experimental evidence showed that initial formation organometallic intermediates the surface, self-assembled structures or sparsely dispersed species, is determined subsequent reaction pathway. Specifically, assembled at full coverage underwent a single-barrier process to directly convert into final...
Molecular tessellations are often discovered serendipitously, and the mechanisms by which specific molecules can be tiled seamlessly to form periodic tessellation remain unclear. Fabrication of molecular with higher symmetry compared traditional Bravais lattices promises potential applications as photonic crystals. Here, we demonstrate that highly complex constructed on Au(111) from a single building block, hexakis(4-iodophenyl)benzene (HPBI). HPBI gives rise two self-assembly phases possess...
Phase-controlled synthesis of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is great interest due to the distinct properties different phases. However, it challenging prepare metallic phase group-VI TMDCs their metastability. At monolayer level, interface engineering can be used stabilize metastable phase. Here, we demonstrate selective growth either single-layer 1H- or 1T'-MoSe2 on Au(111) by molecular-beam epitaxy; two phases unambiguously distinguished using scanning tunnelling...
A novel calcium-based nanoinducer that simultaneously induces pyroptosis and remodels tumor-associated-macrophages effectively overcomes the immunosuppression for enhancing systemic antitumor immunity.
Van der Waals multiferroic tunnel junctions (vdW-MFTJs) are promising candidates for data storage devices due to their tunable thickness and capability exhibit multiple nonvolatile resistance states. However, existing vdW-MFTJs utilize ferroelectricity ferromagnetism independently, failing achieve true magnetoelectric coupling, which leads unnecessary energy dissipation. Here, we propose an innovative vdW-MFTJ design based on a CrBr$_3$/MnPSe$_3$/CrBr$_3$ vertical heterostructure, enabling...
The controllable synthesis of plasmonic metal nanocrystals with well-defined shapes is great significance for their potential applications, and it requires a good understanding the mechanism under thermodynamically kinetically controlled reactions. Herein we present seed-mediated growth approach to series five-fold twinned (FT) gold nanocrystals. Specifically, concave FT Au embedded grooves at twin boundaries are preferentially prepared dominated conditions. Meanwhile, pentagonal bifrustums,...
Substrates and extrinsic metals on top dictate the reaction intermediates pathways of on-surface Ullmann couplings.
To discern the catalytic activity of different active sites, a self-assembly strategy is applied to confine involved species that are "attached" specific surface sites. The employed probe reaction system Ullmann coupling 4-bromobiphenyl, C6H5C6H4Br, on an atomically flat Ag(111) surface, which explored by combined scanning tunneling microscopy, synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. cycle involves detachment Br atom from initial reactant...
BackgroundHigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a common extracellular damage associated molecular pattern molecule, is overexpressed in several solid tumors including pancreatic carcinoma. We previously observed that radiotherapy induced dying cells secrete HMGB1 and accelerate carcinoma progression through an unclear mechanism.MethodsUsing the Millicell system as vitro co-culture model, we performed quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, western blot sphere forming...
Three-dimensional (3D) complex plasmonic intragap nanostructures (PINs) have attracted significant attention in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) owing to their abundance interior gaps and voids, which enable robust near-field focusing. However, developing a simple, precise, reproducible synthetic strategy remains great challenge, as preparation such often demands multiple laborious steps with controlled chemistry. Here, we present facile one-pot approach for synthesizing...
