Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) has recently attracted remarkable attention as a
novel nano-spectroscopy technique. TERS, which provides site-specific information, can be …

Raman spectroscopy is an analytical method based on light–matter interactions that can
interrogate the vibrational modes of matter and provide representative molecular …

Transmetalation represents an appealing strategy toward fabricating and tuning functional
metal–organic polymers and frameworks for diverse applications. In particular, building two …

Carbon, as an indispensable chemical element on Earth, has diverse covalent bonding
ability, which enables construction of extensive pivotal carbon-based structures in multiple …

The motion of atoms is at the heart of any chemical or structural transformation in molecules
and materials. Upon activation of this motion by an external source, several (usually many) …

Belonging to the enyne family, enetriynes comprise a distinct electron-rich all-carbon
bonding scheme. However, the lack of convenient synthesis protocols limits the associated …

Isotope substitution of a molecule not only changes its vibrational frequencies but also
changes its vibrational distributions in real-space. Quantitatively measuring the isotope …

On-surface synthesis provides tools to prepare low-dimensional supramolecular structures.
Traditionally, reactive radicals are a class of single-electron species, serving as exceptional …

Selective regulation of chemical reactions is crucial in chemistry. Oxygen, as a key reagent
in ubiquitous oxidative chemistry, exhibits great potential in regulating molecular …
