The resulting compound, K2[IIII(IVO3)4]IVO3, exhibits exceptional second harmonic generation responses (21.6KH2PO4 at 1064 nm, 1.0KTiOPO4 at 2050 nm), a wide transparency range from the visible to the mid-infrared wavelengths (0.37–6.05 μm and 7.03–13.40 μm), and a high birefringence (0.358 at 543 nm) to achieve full-wavelength phase matching. These properties are primarily ascribed to the synergistic substantial hyperpolarizability and polarizability anisotropy exhibited by the [IIII(IVO3)4]− complex ions, which comprise square-planar coordinated trivalent iodine and optimally arranged iodate ligands.

Ex‐situ spectroscopic analysis demonstrates the incomplete oxidation of Ru nanosheets to RuO₂, while the in‐situ TEM observations uncover an anomalous reverse phase transformation from the oxidized to metallic phase during oxidation. Combined with theoretical calculations, the oxygen atom migration dominates the reversible oxidation process, strikingly distinct from the unidirectional oxidation pathways in conventional metallic systems. The as‐generated abundant Ru‐RuO2 heterointerfaces formed through reversible oxidation provide a wealth of active sites for electrochemical alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Due to the low reactivity of the unsaturated carbon lattice of graphene, not only are few chemical approaches suitable for successful functionalization, such as those involving highly reactive in situ formed radical species or nitrene and carbene compounds, but also the degree of functionalization is usually limited, modifying only a few percent of the carbon atoms. Typically, uncontrolled side reactions such as homocoupling and oligomerization of newly introduced functional groups can occur instead of direct coupling to the carbon lattice. We want to turn this unwanted side reaction into an advantage and use intentionally formed covalent dendrimeric oligophenylene structures for secondary functionalization. We show that these oligomeric structures can be grown to specific thicknesses and used for further functionalization with bromomethyl groups at high density on the surface. This functionalization opens further avenues for subsequent nucleophilic substitution, as exemplified by the introduction of versatile azide, nitrile, and phosphonate groups. The results presented here are not only applicable to large oligophenylene structures, but also demonstrate that, in principle, single aryl moieties on graphene of any size and density can be successfully functionalized.","PeriodicalId":125,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie International Edition","volume":"166 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the high‐pressure phase with excellent optoelectrical properties is difficult to be stabilized at ambient conditions, seriously limiting the practical applications. Here, we firstly lighted up non‐emissive zero‐dimensional (0D) metal halide (C25H22P)2SnCl6 via pressure engineering, ultimately yielding the bright emission. Note that the quenched (C25H22P)2SnCl6 after pressure treatment of 20.0 GPa exhibited the very bright blue‐white emission. This irreversible photoluminescence (PL) transition was associated with the irreversible amorphization by increasing the potential barrier of phase transition through the steric hindrance effect. The increased distortion of inorganic octahedra and the enhanced hydrogen bond interaction within the amorphous (C25H22P)2SnCl6 after pressure treatment were responsible for the bright emission. Thus pressure‐triggered PL turn‐on behavior can serve as a robust optical switchable logic gate from the initially dark state “0” to the bright state “1”.

While these modifications preserve the frontier molecular orbital distribution with large oscillator strengths, they significantly influence excited‐state dynamics and molecular aggregation at even low doping concentrations. Introducing Ph substituents extends the π‐conjugation extension of CzBN, promoting closer molecular packing, detrimental molecular aggregation, and significantly broadening the excited‐state absorption (ESA) band, which negatively impacts lasing performance. In contrast, CzBN‐tBu, incorporating t‐Bu groups as non‐conjugated substituents, demonstrated reduced molecular aggregation and a distinct separation between the ESA band and stimulated emission region. Consequently, the optimal distributed feedback lasing performance is achieved by CzBN‐tBu across various doping concentrations, resulting in the lowest lasing threshold of 3.4 µJ cm−2. These findings underscore the impact of inherent aggregation at low doping ratio on lasing activities, highlighting the crucial role of rational peripheral engineering in modulating molecular interactions and excited‐state dynamics, offering design strategies for developing MR lasing molecules.","PeriodicalId":125,"journal":{"name":"Angewandte Chemie International Edition","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":16.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
