    A molecular movie of ultrafast singlet fission

    The complex dynamics of ultrafast photoinduced reactions are governed by their evolution along vibronically coupled potential energy surfaces. It is now often possible to identify such processes, but a detaile...

    Two-dimensional tessellation by molecular tiles constructed from halogen–halogen and halogen–metal networks

    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 tesse...

    Tuneable near white-emissive two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks

    Most two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are non-fluorescent in the solid state even when they are constructed from emissive building blocks. The fluorescence quenching is usually attribute...

    Tuning magnetoresistance in molybdenum disulphide and graphene using a molecular spin transition

    Coupling spins of molecular magnets to two-dimensional (2D) materials provides a framework to manipulate the magneto-conductance of 2D materials. However, with most molecules, the spin coupling is usually weak...

    Tuning the role of charge-transfer states in intramolecular singlet exciton fission through side-group engineering

    Understanding the mechanism of singlet exciton fission, in which a singlet exciton separates into a pair of triplet excitons, is crucial to the development of new chromophores for efficient fission-sensitized ...

    Cyclopenta-fused perylene: a new soluble, stable and functionalizable rylene building block

    We report a facile synthesis of a [1,12-b,c,d]cyclopenta-fused perylene 5 from the parent perylene via a formylation-oxidative esterification–nucleophilic addition-followed-by-Friedel–Crafts alkylation strategy. ...
