The present work reports the first open-cage fullerene derivative (Buckybowl) capable of encapsulating chloride anion selectively. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and theoretical calculations reveal that the encapsulated chloride forms strong H-bonding with the hydroxyl group directly above the orifice, in addition to strong interactions with the electron deficient spherical π-system. All other common anions including fluoride, iodide, and di- and polyatomic anions cannot enter the cavity of this open-cage fullerene derivative except for the bromide anion. Competitive encapsulation experiments with equimolar chloride and bromide mixtures demonstrate a remarkable 94:6 selectivity ratio in favor of chloride. Reversible hydration/dehydration of a carbonyl group along the rim of the 17-membered orifice serves as a chemical switch regulating transitions between open and closed states. The encapsulated chloride/bromide anion can be released upon dehydration to form the open state, followed by interaction with a silver cation. Alternatively, structural modification through 1,2-benzenediamine-mediated orifice expansion provides another pathway for halide release.","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145717409","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}

Herein, we report that by developing trichlorinated cyanoindone as A terminal, the resulting NFA denoted S-5Cl could resist both photodegradation with an increased rotational energy barrier and thermo-diffusion with the elevated glass transition temperature, which was further supported by tighter molecular stacking in the single crystal of S-5Cl. These features, thus, allow the S-5Cl-based binary OPV to possess 2–4 times longer lifetimes under heat (T₈₀) or light (T₇₀) stresses than the counterpart based on the NFA with dichlorinated terminal. Such advantages were inherited by the S-5Cl-based ternary device. Moreover, S-5Cl enabled a good efficiency of 17.66% with a remarkable fill factor of 81.69% for binary OPV and a much better efficiency of 19.25% for the ternary device. Therefore, our work indicates that tailoring the terminal groups for more condensed molecular arrangements of NFAs is a feasible route to highly efficient and stable OPVs.","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145619457","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}

Traditional thermoset elastomers, while strong and durable, are difficult to recycle due to their permanent chemical crosslinks. Recent progress in supramolecular elastomers has improved recyclability but often at the expense of performance. Herein, we introduced a boron–nitrogen (B–N) and boron–oxygen (B–O) coordination-based supramolecular elastomer (BNOSE) that achieved both high mechanical strength and efficient chemical recyclability. The dynamic B–N and B–O bonds in BNOSE provided robust internal bonding, allowing the material to break down in a mild ethanol solvent, while achieving high recovery rates. With a tensile strength over 43 MPa and toughness above 121 MJ/m³, BNOSE surpassed many commercial elastomers and existing chemical recyclable thermoplastic elastomers. This material provided a sustainable solution without sacrificing performance, demonstrating potential for diverse applications such as soft robotics and flexible electronics. Additionally, its scalable design could be extended to other polymers, addressing the rising demand for high-performance, recyclable materials across various industries.","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145619462","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}

In this study, we propose a stretching-induced confined assembly strategy to fabricate ultrastrong graphene films and investigate their applications in extreme environments. The resulting graphene films exhibit remarkable tensile strength (1.97 GPa) and Young’s modulus (108 GPa), which are the strongest previously reported graphene films. These superior properties arise from the synergistic interfacial effects of covalent bonds and π–π conjugation formed between graphene nanosheets during the confined assembly process, significantly enhancing interlayer load transfer efficiency. The densely aligned graphene films (with an orientation degree of up to 0.97) maintain stable mechanical and electrical performance under extreme conditions, including cryogenic to high temperatures (−110 to 150 °C) and UV exposure, surpassing conventional carbon fiber composites. Our proposed strategy provides new insights for fabricating macroscopic assemblies of two-dimensional nanomaterials and enhancing their performance in extreme environments.","PeriodicalId":9810,"journal":{"name":"CCS Chemistry","volume":"2 1","pages":"3823-3835"},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145658075","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}

Herein, we present the synthesis of a new thiophene derivative, ClE-T, by a simple two-step method, comprising a monothiophene functionalized with a chlorine atom and an ester group. The ClE-T offers unique benefits resulting from the combination of the two groups. The incorporation of ClE-T into a polymer yields a polymer donor poly[[4,8-bis[5-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-thienyl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-chloro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)-2,5-thiophenediyl]] (PBDT-ClET). ClE-T demonstrates synergistic effects that significantly downshift energy levels and enhance the crystallinity of PBDT-ClET. In conclusion, PBDT-ClET is incorporated as a third component in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) to enhance charge transport, reduce energy loss, and achieve more favorable phase separation. Finally, the all-PSCs employing PBDT-ClET achieve a notable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 19.04%, which is not only among the highest values in all-PSCs but also represents the record PCE achieved for eco-friendly all-PSCs.

The colorimetric reporter, generating highly distinguishable visual signal via the peroxidase activity of G4 DNAzyme, shows high specificity cross-validated in eight distinct targets and a low detection limit down to 5.2 nM. It demonstrates high compatibility with established DNA circuits by sharing structural similarities with fluorometric reporters. Absorbance-based kinetics behaviors recorded using the colorimetric reporter show desired performance across various DNA circuits, including Boolean logic gates, cascaded logic circuits, and catalytic circuits. When integrated into an inkjet-printed paper-based analytical chip with user-customizable patterns, the on-paper colorimetric reporter enables multiplexed readouts across eight channels.

In this minireview, we briefly summarize recent advances in matching zeolites with metal species for efficient catalysis, highlighting the synergistic effects between zeolites and metal species to improve the catalytic performance. Multiple functions of zeolites with respect to the metal species are highlighted, including the regulation of reactant/product diffusion for increasing the catalytic activity, the control of steric adsorption of reactant for changing the product selectivity, and the modulation of dynamic structural change of metal species for enhancing catalytic stability. Additionally, future challenges and opportunities in rational metal-zeolite catalyst design are discussed to inspire further innovations in catalytic applications.
