- ItemFulleretic well-defined scaffolds: Donor–fullerene alignment through metal coordination and its effect on photophysics(Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Williams, Derek E.; Dolgopolova, Ekaterina A.; Godfrey, Danielle C.; Ermolaeva, Evgeniya D.; Pellechia, Perry J.; Greytak, Andrew B.; Smith, Mark D.; Avdoshenko, Stanislav M.; Popov, Alexey A.; Shustova, Natalia B.Herein, we report the first example of a crystalline metal–donor–fullerene framework, in which control of the donor–fullerene mutual orientation was achieved through chemical bond formation, in particular, by metal coordination. The 13C cross‐polarization magic‐angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, and time‐resolved fluorescence spectroscopy were performed for comprehensive structural analysis and energy‐transfer (ET) studies of the fulleretic donor–acceptor scaffold. Furthermore, in combination with photoluminescence measurements, the theoretical calculations of the spectral overlap function, Förster radius, excitation energies, and band structure were employed to elucidate the photophysical and ET processes in the prepared fulleretic material. We envision that the well‐defined fulleretic donor–acceptor materials could contribute not only to the basic science of fullerene chemistry but would also be used towards effective development of organic photovoltaics and molecular electronics.
- ItemControllable sliding transfer of wafer‐size graphene(Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Lu, Wenjing; Zeng, Mengqi; Li, Xuesong; Wang, Jiao; Tan, Lifang; Shao, Miaomiao; Han, Jiangli; Wang, Sheng; Yue, Shuanglin; Zhang, Tao; Hu, Xuebo; Mendes, Rafael G.; Rümmeli, Mark H.; Peng, Lianmao; Liu, Zhongfan; Fu, LeiThe innovative design of sliding transfer based on a liquid substrate can succinctly transfer high‐quality, wafer‐size, and contamination‐free graphene within a few seconds. Moreover, it can be extended to transfer other 2D materials. The efficient sliding transfer approach can obtain high‐quality and large‐area graphene for fundamental research and industrial applications.
- ItemMononuclear clusterfullerene single‐molecule magnet containing strained fused‐pentagons stabilized by a nearly linear metal cyanide cluster(Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2017) Liu, Fupin; Wang, Song; Gao, Cong-Li; Deng, Qingming; Zhu, Xianjun; Kostanyan, Aram; Westerstrçm, Rasmus; Jin, Fei; Xie, Su‐Yuan; Popov, Alexey A.; Greber, Thomas; Yang, ShangfengFused‐pentagons results in an increase of local steric strain according to the isolated pentagon rule (IPR), and for all reported non‐IPR clusterfullerenes multiple (two or three) metals are required to stabilize the strained fused‐pentagons, making it difficult to access the single‐atom properties. Herein, we report the syntheses and isolations of novel non‐IPR mononuclear clusterfullerenes MNC@C76 (M=Tb, Y), in which one pair of strained fused‐pentagon is stabilized by a mononuclear cluster. The molecular structures of MNC@C76 (M=Tb, Y) were determined unambiguously by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, featuring a non‐IPR C2v(19138)‐C76 cage entrapping a nearly linear MNC cluster, which is remarkably different from the triangular MNC cluster within the reported analogous clusterfullerenes based on IPR‐obeying C82 cages. The TbNC@C76 molecule is found to be a field‐induced single‐molecule magnet (SMM).
- ItemEntirely flexible on-site conditioned magnetic sensorics(Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Münzenrieder, Niko; Karnaushenko, Daniil; Petti, Luisa; Cantarella, Giuseppe; Vogt, Christian; Büthe, Lars; Karnaushenko, Dmitriy D.; Schmidt, Oliver G.; Makarov, Denys; Tröster, GerhardThe first entirely flexible integrated magnetic field sensor system is realized consisting of a flexible giant magnetoresistive bridge on‐site conditioned using high‐performance IGZO‐based readout electronics. The system outperforms commercial fully integrated rigid magnetic sensors by at least one order of magnitude, whereas all components stay fully functional when bend to a radius of 5 mm.
- ItemMagnetic suspension array technology: Controlled synthesis and screening in microfluidic networks(Hoboken, NJ : Wiley, 2016) Lin, Gungun; Karnaushenko, Dmitriy D.; Cañón Bermúdez, Gilbert Santiago; Schmidt, Oliver G.; Makarov, DenysInformation tagging and processing are vital in information‐intensive applications, e.g., telecommunication and high‐throughput drug screening. Magnetic suspension array technology may offer intrinsic advantages to screening applications by enabling high distinguishability, the ease of code generation, and the feasibility of fast code readout, though the practical applicability of magnetic suspension array technology remains hampered by the lack of quality administration of encoded microcarriers. Here, a logic‐controlled microfluidic system enabling controlled synthesis of magnetic suspension arrays in multiphase flow networks is realized. The smart and compact system offers a practical solution for the quality administration and screening of encoded magnetic microcarriers and addresses the universal need of process control for synthesis in microfluidic networks, i.e., on‐demand creation of droplet templates for high information capacity. The demonstration of magnetic suspension array technology enabled by magnetic in‐flow cytometry opens the avenue toward point‐of‐care multiplexed bead‐based assays, clinical diagnostics, and drug discovery.
