This highlight review explains advanced structural analysis techniques utilizing electron microscopy to uncover various properties and phenomena in subnanometer clusters that were previously unknown in larger nanoparticles. The discoveries introduced the concept of “subnano alloying,” where different elements mix at the atomic level in arbitrary proportions, leading to enhanced catalytic performance. Additionally, the behavior and dynamics of these clusters were examined to gain insights into their stability and reactivity. These findings have significant implications for the design of advanced materials with tailored properties and improved catalytic applications.

Amorphous materials are very attractive materials because of their unique properties, including high corrosion resistance and catalytic activity. Creating such materials on a nanoscale is very effective in maximizing their performance. However, it is difficult to synthesize amorphous nanomaterials by conventional rapid cooling methods, commonly used for bulk amorphous materials. Therefore, there are not as many reports about amorphous nanomaterials as bulk materials. Herein we report the first synthesis of Pd–Pt–P amorphous nanoparticles by a two-step synthesis method. They were also characterized.

This paper, for the first time, reports on synthesis of Au@Pd core-shell nanoparticles in the absence of any capping and reducing agents by ultrafine bubbles and ultrasound. The mean diameter of the bimetallic core-shell nanoparticles was controlled by the ultrafine bubble concentration during the synthesis. The Pd shell thickness also varied with the concentration of Pd(II) ions. These Au@Pd core-shell nanoparticles showed excellent catalytic performance due to the pure surface without any capping and reducing agents.

We investigated the unique aggregation behavior of 3 types of positively charged poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latex particles in the presence of a trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) anion. The particles were prepared based on surfactant-free emulsion polymerization using azo radical initiators. The triflate anion was strongly adsorbed to surfaces of positively charged PMMA latex particles, as confirmed by electrophoresis. Additionally, its presence significantly reduced the critical coagulation concentration of the cationic PMMA latex particles compared with other anions.

Acetaminophen may cause acute liver failure due to overdose. Understanding the processes of adsorption and incorporation of acetaminophen into cell membranes is crucial for elucidating the mechanisms of action and toxicity of acetaminophen. We investigated the interaction between acetaminophen and a model cell membrane (dioleoylphosphatidylcholine) using surface pressure–area isotherms. Acetaminophen was incorporated into the dioleoylphosphatidylcholine membrane under basic conditions, increasing the dioleoylphosphatidylcholine molecular area. The acetaminophen uptake was explained by the adsorption of hydroxide ions onto the lipid membrane and electrostatic interaction between acetaminophen and lipid molecules under basic conditions.

Magnetic properties of N-nonylphenothiazine radical cations were found to vary depending on their counter ions. The radical cations in NTf2– (bis(N-trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ion), OTf– (trifluoromethanesulfonate), and BF4– salts formed π-dimer with strong antiferromagnetic interactions. The SbF6– salt exhibited paramagnetic properties with quite weak antiferromagnetic interaction. Interestingly, the NTf2– salt transformed to the paramagnetic liquid state upon heating to 78 oC.

We developed a simple and rapid process for synthesizing dithieno[3',2':3,4; 2'',3'':5,6]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (fDTBT) derivatives using crystalline sulfur and internal alkynes, wherein thiophene is cyclized to benzothiadiazole. Cyclized derivatives were synthesized in three or five steps using this reaction, whereas the conventional synthesis methods involved seven steps and hazardous reactions with explosive properties. The absorption spectra of the synthesized fDTBT derivatives in chloroform solution revealed a new absorption band owing to the cyclization. All three compounds exhibited orange-to-red luminescence, and the maximum absolute quantum yield was determined to be 67%, demonstrating excellent luminescence.

Molecular dynamics in the crystalline solid state, typically constrained by a densely packed crystal environment, may offer opportunities to control the physical properties of solid-state materials. In this work, a neutral crystalline molecular rotor featuring a para-phenylene rotator encapsulated by N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and connected via a C-Au-C rotational axis is presented. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, along with variable-temperature solid-state 2H NMR spin-echo measurements, confirm the presence of 180° 2-fold rotational dynamics of the para-phenylene moiety in the solid state.

5-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphine (TPPCOOH) was acid-dissociated and its salt with alkali metal ions (TPPCOO−M+, M+=Li+, Na+, and K+) formed ordered needlelike monolayered aggregates at the toluene/water interface under alkaline conditions. The light absorption of the aggregates at 451 nm depended on the polarization direction. The dependence revealed 2 types of TPPCOO−M+ aggregates with different growth direction, but their microstructure and interfacial concentration were almost the same. The height of the aggregates measured by atomic force microscopy was approximately equivalent to that of titled TPPCOO−.
