Identifying and Tracking Defects in Dynamic Supramolecular Polymers

A central paradigm of self-assembly is to create ordered structures starting from molecular monomers that spontaneously recognize and interact with each other via noncovalent interactions. In recent years, great efforts have been directed toward perfecting ...

Reversible Magnetic Transition in a Bench-Stable Radical Cation Triggered by Structural Transition in the Magnetically Silent Counteranion

Sergio Vela Llausi

Fabrication of bench-stable radical ions under ambient conditions is of utmost significance from the perspective of materials and structural (solid-state) chemistry. Two exceptionally stable benzotriazinyl radical cationic salts of 1-phenyl-3(phenylamino)- ...

Structural and Photophysical Templating of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes with Single-Stranded DNA

Ursula Röthlisberger, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Polydefkis Diamantis

A promising approach to influence and control the photophysical properties of conjugated polymers is directing their molecular conformation by templating. We explore here the templating effect of single-stranded DNA oligomers (ssDNAs) on cationic polythiop ...

Trametinib Induces the Stabilization of a Dual GNAQ p.Gly48Leu-and FGFR4 p.Cys172Gly-Mutated Uveal Melanoma. The Role of Molecular Modelling in Personalized Oncology

Krisztian Homicsko

We report a case of an uveal melanoma patient with GNAQ p.Gly48Leu who responded to MEK inhibition. At the time of the molecular analysis, the pathogenicity of the mutation was unknown. A tridimensional structural analysis showed that G alpha(q) can adopt ...

D-pi-A-Type Triazatruxene-Based Dopant-Free Hole Transporting Materials for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Hiroyuki Kanda, Sanghyun Paek, Kasparas Rakstys, Cristina Roldán Carmona, Hobeom Kim, Cansu Igci

Three donor-pi-bridge-acceptor (D-pi-A)-type organic small molecules coded CI-B1, CI-B2, and CI-B3 are designed, synthesized, and used as dopant-free hole transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The strong electron-donating triazat ...

To bend or not to bend, the dilemma of multiple bonds

Michele Pizzochero

Beyond the second row of the periodic table, the nature of the multiple bonds between the elements of the main groups remains yet elusive, and "non-classical" bonding schemes are often invoked for their description. Here, focusing on group 14, we have perf ...

A Molecular Dual Pump

Cristian Pezzato

Artificial molecular machines (AMMs) built from mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) can use energy ratchets to control the unidirectional motion of their component parts. These energy ratchets are operated by the alteration of kinetic barriers and th ...
