  • The structural transformation of crystals triggered by external stimuli is a fascinating area in materials science and supramolecular chemistry, though it is challenging to maintain crystallinity during an organic reaction. Here the authors show an example of a triethylamine vapor-induced cyclization reaction in a cocrystal, leading to its conversion into polycrystals.

  • Nanomedicine has promise for treatment of cancer, but achieving targeting and efficacy is challenging. Here, the authors report the development of gold-based aggregation-induced emission materials that demonstrate tumour cell specific targeting and lead to cell death.

  • By combining one-photon ultraviolet excitation with X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the nitrogen K-edge with advanced quantum-chemical calculations, researchers unveiled the fascinating and mysterious electronic dynamics of pyrazine at conical intersections. Here, electrons and nuclei dance in harmony until water steps in to disrupt the rhythm.

  • Although mature and systematic theories of molecular photophysics have been developed, it is still challenging to endow clusteroluminogens (CLgens) with designed photophysical properties by manipulating through-space interactions. Here, the authors design three CLgens that show multiple emissions and white-light emission in the crystalline state, and emphasize the important role of secondary through-space interactions between the acceptor and non-conjugated donor units.
