Bottom-up strategies have allowed the synthesis of “molecular” nanographenes with full
control over size, shape and functionality. In recent years, the progress on wet chemical …

A nanographene-fused expanded carbaporphyrin (5) and its BF2 complex (6) were
synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray structures revealed that 5 and 6 are connected by two hexa …

A series of chalcogen-doped nanographenes (NGs) and their oxides are described. Their
molecular design is conceptually based on the insertion of different chalcogens into the …

Understanding the influence of molecular structure on charge distribution and charge
separation (CS) provides essential guidance for optoelectronic materials design. Here we …

Photofunctional materials based on donor-acceptor molecules have drawn intense attention
due to their unique optical properties. Importantly, Systematic investigation of substitution …

The optical properties of non-toxic indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) are
impinged by the existence of characteristic deep trap states. Several surface engineering …

Abstract The [3+ 2] cycloadditions of stabilized azomethine ylides (AMYs) derived from
amino esters are well-established. However, the reactions of semi-stabilized AMYs …

Conspectus Photoinduced charge separation (CS) ensures efficient light-energy conversion.
The stable and long-lived charge-separation state (CSs) is beneficial for suppressing charge …

Systematically tuning and optimizing the properties of synthetic nanographenes (NGs) is
particularly important for NG applications in diverse areas. Herein, by devising novel …

Heterogeneous photocatalysts present notable benefits over homogeneous systems.
However, their application is often hindered by spontaneous electron-hole recombination …
