The desirable self-assembly (SA) of repeated 2D stacked layers requires a “holistic analysis” three interconnected components: the electrode, interface, and molecular component; among them, contact interface bears largest burden responsibilities. Epitaxial growth (EG) coherent 2D+n heterojunction by solvent-free deposition holds great promise, although feasibility has never been demonstrated gi...

We present a straightforward and generally applicable synthesis route for cofacially linked homo- heterobimetallic porphyrin complexes. The protocol allows the of unsymmetrical aryl-based meso-meso as well β-meso-linked porphyrins. Our method significantly increases overall yield published compound known o-phenylene-bisporphyrin (OBBP) by factor 6.8. Besides 16 novel homobimetallic complexes co...

High redshift DLA systems suggest that the relative abundances of elements might be roughly solar, although with absolute abundances of more than two orders of magnitude below solar. The result comes from observations of the [SII/ZnII] ratio, which is a reliable diagnostic of the true abundance, and from DLA absorbers with small dust depletion and negligible HII contamination. In particular, in...

The development of synthetic approaches towards new mixed-ligand metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been attracting considerable attention recently as they display fascinating properties due to the synergistic effect between different ligands. Herein, initial combination pyridine-2,6-dimethanol (H2pdm) with benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) provided access three MOFs, [M3(bdc)2(Hpdm)2]n (M...
