Notably, we extend the scope of substrates beyond metals by demonstrating successful modification of glassy carbon. Compared to diazonium salts, NHC coatings show comparable resistance to sonication while forming films of only ∼4 nm in thickness. This reduced film thickness leads to lower surface passivation, which could offer advantages for electrochemical applications. The versatility of these NHC as molecular anchors is demonstrated through the attachment of electrochemically active TEMPO˙, the immobilization of streptavidin, and the formation of copper coatings.

This isomerization results in distinct chromophore packing modes. In the case of S1, the BODIPY and binaphthyl moieties are arranged in a relatively loose manner (~ 6.0 Å), enabling efficient FRET and preserving the strong locally excited (LE) emission (ΦF = 91.3%) characteristic of the BODIPY unit. In contrast, for S2, the denser packing between the BODIPY and binaphthyl moieties (~ 4.8 Å) leads to through-space charge transfer (TSCT) and weak charge transfer (CT) emission (ΦF = 8.6%). Notably, only complex (R)/(S)-S1 shows mirror-image circular dichroism (CD) signals based on chirality transfer and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), as supported by TD-DFT calculations which reveal that the binaphthyl moiety alter the angle between the electric transition dipole moment (μ) and the magnetic transition dipole moment (m).","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"214 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145209872","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}

Subsequent studies on modulating side-chain modifications have revealed distinct singlet oxygen (1O2) generation capabilities. Notably, quaternary ammonium-functionalized macrocycles show lower quantum yields yet superior 1O2 generation efficiency under light irradiation compared to their ethoxy-modified counterparts and the acyclic building block, while retaining targeted fluorescence imaging capabilities. Significantly, the supramolecular synergy between photodynamic action and ceftizoxime sodium drug complexation drastically enhances antibacterial efficacy compared to individual modalities.

However, the thermodynamic instability of the oxygen-anionic redox couple leads to lattice oxygen loss and structural transformation, resulting in a rapid decline in voltage and capacity. In this work, we rationally engineer Li-deficient phase formation in LLOs to stabilize oxygen-anionic redox chemistry and improve the structural stability of LLOs. The Li-deficient and Li-rich biphasic intergrowth composite is synthesized via ion exchange from the P3/O3 intermediate mixed-phase oxides. It is found that the incorporation of the Li-deficient phase makes the movement of the O 2p non-bonding energy band toward lower energy, which further alleviates the lattice oxygen release and stabilizes the oxygen-anionic redox chemistry upon Li + de-intercalation. Consequently, the cycling stability is significantly enhanced in the biphasic LLOs, maintaining superior capacity/voltage retention of ~86%/88% after 400 cycles with a low capacity decay rate of 0.034% and voltage decline of 1.06 mV per cycle. The biphasic design offers a simple and feasible strategy for regulating the oxygen-anionic redox chemistry and boosting the structural stability of high-capacity LLOs.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145203588","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 energy barrier of the ORR substantially limits the overall catalytic efficiency. Herein, we propose an alternative hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) reduction pathway to replace the ORR pathway, enabling the spontaneous generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) without ultrasound assistance. Perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsions were prepared to construct a PFC-water liquidliquid interface. Contact electrification at the PFC-water interface induces interfacial electron-transfer process, wherein the PFC act as mediators by capturing electrons from hydroxide ions (OH -) and subsequently transferring them to H2O2 , thereby generating •OH. Furthermore, ultrasound can enhance •OH production by increasing the frequency of liquid-liquid contact and facilitating electron release from negatively charged PFC (PFC*) to H 2 O 2 . Importantly, we demonstrate that this H 2 O 2 -based CEC pathway represents a previously unrecognized mechanism underlying CEDT. In tumor microenvironments, where H2O2 is overexpressed, this mechanism leads to enhanced ROS production and tumor cell death. This work uncovers a hidden catalytic route within the CEDT framework and provides new insights into the application of CEC for tumor therapy.","PeriodicalId":9909,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145203592","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}
