The structure of amphiphilic molecules at buried liquid/liquid interfaces can be controlled by ion-pairing interactions to better understand the mechanisms of liquid extraction and self-assembly.
A novel, complementary method to oxidative Scholl coupling enables synthesis of conjugated porous networks via direct aromatic ring knitting.
Researchers have discovered a new mode of SMSI construction under ambient conditions that is driven by photochemistry instead of the traditional thermal activation.
