Developing molecular circuits that can function as the active components in electrical devices is an ongoing challenge electronics. It demands mechanical stability of single-molecule circuit while simultaneously being responsive to external stimuli mimicking operation conventional electronic components. Here, we report based on spiropyran derivatives respond electrically chemical and stimuli. The merocyanine results from protonation/ring-opening form showed diode characteristics, with...

The effect of para-substituents on the crystal packing phenols has been investigated, for systems bearing nonpolar groups (tert-butyl and benzyl, compounds 1 2, respectively) methylene linked bis-phenol polar nitro (compound 3). Remarkable asymmetric unit six molecules, which form infinite helical hydrogen bonded arrays in extended structures, whereas compound 3 coplanar with phenol rings forms almost columnar arrays. Hirshfeld surface analysis is used to show that despite a nearly identical...

A novel refinement technique for X-ray diffraction data has been employed to derive SO bond orders in sulfur dioxide experimentally. The results show that ionic bonding dominates over hypervalency. Detailed facts of importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited or typeset. They made available submitted by the authors.

Together with the more intuitive and commonly recognized conductance mechanisms of charge-hopping tunneling, quantum-interference (QI) phenomena have been identified as important factors affecting charge transport through molecules. Consequently, establishing simple flexible molecular-design strategies to understand, control, exploit QI in molecular junctions poses an exciting challenge. Here we demonstrate that destructive quantum interference (DQI) meta-substituted phenylene ethylene-type...
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) has been used to image class I methanol masers at 9.9, 25 (a series from J=2 J=9), 84, 95 and 104 GHz located in the vicinity of IRAS 16547-4247 (G343.12-0.06), a luminous young stellar object known harbour radio jet. detected maser emission consists cluster 6 spots spread over an area 30 arcsec. Five were only 84- 95-GHz transitions (for two 84-GHz detection is marginal), while sixth spot shows activity all 12 observed transitions. We report...
A new paradigm for the synthesis of 4′-pyridyl terpyridines using poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) as a benign reaction medium is described, with compounds readily accessible in high purity ca. 4 hours 'one pot' procedure. This method requires no product purification and affords desired reasonable yield without formation unwanted side products.
We study how uncertainties in the rate coefficients of chemical reactions RATE06 database affect abundances and column densities key molecules protoplanetary disks. randomly varied gas-phase reaction rates within their uncertainty limits calculated time-dependent using a gas-grain model flaring steady-state disk model. find that species can be separated into two distinct groups according to sensitivity uncertainties. The first group includes CO, C$^+$, H$_3^+$, H$_2$O, NH$_3$, N$_2$H$^+$,...

The electronic structures of the prototypical bimetallic buta-1,3-diyn-1,4-diyl-bridged radical cation complexes [{M(dppe)Cp′}2(μ-C≡CC≡C)]+ (M= Fe, Cp′ = Cp* (1a), Cp (1b); M Ru, (2a), (2b)) have been (re)investigated using a combination UV–vis–NIR and IR spectroelectrochemistry, quantum chemical calculations based on both dispersion-corrected global (BLYP35-D3) local (Lh-SsirPW92-D3) hybrid functionals. Following analysis new existing data, including IR-active ν(C≡C) bands, iron compounds...
Large metal-oxo clusters consistently assume spherical or regular polyhedral morphologies rather than high-aspect-ratio structures. Access to elongated core structures has now been achieved by the reaction of lanthanoid salts with a tetrazole-functionalized calixarene in presence simple carboxylate co-ligand. The resulting Ln19 and Ln12 are constructed from apex-fused Ln5O6 trigonal bipyramids formed under range conditions reagent ratios. Altering co-ligand structure reliably controls...
