Acknowledging the carbon footprints, environmental concerns and cost of the commercial cathode materials, this is the high time to advocate sustainable alternatives. This review aims at establishing the potential of organic redox-active molecules as a burgeoning class of sustainable solid cathode materials for LIBs. The materials are classified according to their structural features (molecules, metallo-organic complexes, and organic/metal–organic frameworks) and electrochemical performance to lay emphasis on practical applications and bottlenecks in commercialization. However, these materials are still in early stages of development, and new frontiers have been explored in the last five years.","PeriodicalId":93348,"journal":{"name":"Organic Materials","volume":"5 1","pages":"21 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57975512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cage was found to bind two molecules of corannulene and a variety of C60 derivatives in moderate to quantitative yields. Non-disruptive extraction of encapsulated fullerene derivative PC61BM from the cage was demonstrated by the simple addition of CS2 into an acetonitrile solution of the host-guest complex. This process can be accomplished in a layer-to-layer fashion, and thus, the recovered cage can be further utilized in a recycling process. As this self-assembled host is readily synthesized and able to transfer fullerenes and a range of its derivatives into polar organic solvents, it allows to facilitate purification, chemical modification and solid-state processing of fullerenes for a range of materials applications.","PeriodicalId":93348,"journal":{"name":"Organic Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":"222 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48562481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesis of stereoregular functionalized polyolefins, however, has been a relatively underdeveloped area compared to that of functionalized polyethylene because of the lack of suitable catalysts that tolerate polar groups while possessing stereoselectivity. This review summarizes recent advances concerning the access to stereoregular functionalized polyolefins, including synthetic strategies such as post-functionalization, chain transfer and direct copolymerization methods. The focus of the review lies in the copolymerization approach, in which various polar comonomers and versatile stereoselective polymerization catalysts based on both early and late transition metals are involved.

However, the SOM-based fluorophores typically only show one fluorescence band. It is thus very challenging to achieve dual fluorescence, let alone the dual fluorescence that is sensitive to temperature. Herein, in this short review, we briefly summarized the examples of SOM-based fluorophores exhibiting temperature-dependent dual fluorescence. Through representative examples, we mainly focus on the illustration of the intrinsic mechanisms of this unusual phenomenon, which may take place because of the presence of two local minimum conformations that are thermally equilibrated in the ground state, the presence of two local minimum conformations in the first excited state as the result of significant structural relaxation upon excitation, or the presence of thermal equilibrium between the first and second excited states. Hopefully, the discussions in this short review will provide some important guidelines for the further rational molecular design of such fluorophores.","PeriodicalId":93348,"journal":{"name":"Organic Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":"204 - 215"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43057044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field of OLEDs is rapidly growing day by day in academia and industry due to the success of OLEDs in the form of excellent efficiency, feasible methods, excellent lifetime, color purity, and superb device architecture. As a result, OLEDs are new profitable leading devices of the 21st century.

These investigations provided information about the preferred geometry with which the nerve agent mimics are included into the receptor cavities and about the stability of the complexes formed. According to the results, the positively charged VX mimic prefers to bind to cation receptors such as sulfonated calixarenes and an acyclic cucurbituril but does not noticeably interact with cyclodextrins. While binding to the acyclic cucurbituril is stronger than that to calixarenes, the mode of inclusion into the sulfonatocalix[4]arene cavity is better suited for the development of scavengers that bind and detoxify V-type nerve agents. The neutral Novichok mimic, on the other hand, only interacts with the acyclic cucurbituril with a strength required for scavenger development. These binding studies thus provided guidelines for the further development of nerve agent scavengers.","PeriodicalId":93348,"journal":{"name":"Organic Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":"146 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48104575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
