We present a novel procedure for ceramic nanocoating using oxide nanosheet as a building block. A variety of oxide nanosheets (such as Ti1−δO2, MnO2 and perovsites) were synthesized by delaminating appropriate layered precursors into their molecular single sheets. These nanosheets are exceptionally rich in both structural diversity and electronic properties, with potential applications including conductors, semiconductors, insulators, and ferromagnets. Another attractive aspect is that nanosheets can be organized into various nanoarchitectures by applying solution-based synthetic techniques involving electrostatic layer-by-layer assembly and Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. It is even possible to tailor superlattice assemblies, incorporating into the nanosheet galleries with a wide range of materials such as organic molecules, polymers, and inorganic/metal nanoparticles. Sophisticated functionalities or paper-like devices can be designed through the selection of nanosheets and combining materials, and precise control over their arrangement at the molecular scale.

Three new uranyl dichromate compounds templated by aza-crown templates were obtained at room temperature by evaporation from aqueous solutions: (H2diaza-18-crown-6)2[(UO2)2(Cr2O7)4(H2O)2](H2O)3 (1), (H4[15]aneN4)[(UO2)2(CrO4)2(Cr2O7)2(H2O)] (H2O)3.5 (2) and (H4Cyclam)(H4[15]aneN4)2[(UO2)6(CrO4)8(Cr2O7)4](H2O)4 (3). The use of aza-crown templates made it possible to isolate unprecedented and complex one-dimensional units in 2 and 3, whereas the structure of 1 is based on simple uranyl-dichromate chains. It is very likely that the presence of relatively large organic molecules of aza-crown ethers does not allow uranyl chromate chain complexes to condense into the units of higher dimensionality (layers or frameworks). In general, the formation of 1, 2, and 3 is in agreement with the general principles elaborated for organically templated uranyl compounds. The negative charge of the [(UO2)(Cr2O7)2(H2O)]2−, [(UO2)2(CrO4)2(Cr2O7)2(H2O)]4− and [(UO2)3(CrO4)4(Cr2O7)2]6− one-dimensional inorganic motifs is compensated by the protonation of all nitrogen atoms in the molecules of aza-crowns.

Bose–Einstein condensation describes the macroscopic occupation of a single-particle mode: the condensate. This state can in principle be realized for any particles obeying Bose–Einstein statistics; this includes hybrid light-matter excitations known as polaritons. Some of the unique optoelectronic properties of organic molecules make them especially well suited for the realization of polariton condensates. Exciton-polaritons form in optical cavities when electronic excitations couple collectively to the optical mode supported by the cavity. These polaritons obey bosonic statistics at moderate densities, are stable at room temperature, and have been observed to form a condensed or lasing state. Understanding the optimal conditions for polariton condensation requires careful modeling of the complex photophysics of organic molecules. In this article, we introduce the basic physics of exciton-polaritons and condensation and review experiments demonstrating polariton condensation in molecular materials.

The partial molal volumes [Formula: see text] of nonpolar organic molecules (i.e. those having more than three aliphatic carbon atoms per polar hydroxyl, ether, amine, amide, or urea group) in water at 25 °C are given by their van der Waals volumes υw plus the additional empty volume provided by an enclosing shell 0.53 Å thick. An equation relates [Formula: see text] to υw More polar compounds (i.e. those having fewer than two or three aliphatic carbon atoms per polar group) have [Formula: see text] smaller than calculated by the equation; the shrinkage in [Formula: see text] from that computed is linearly related to the fraction of the total surface area of the molecule occupied by the polar group.
