Effect of an additive TAB-1 on crystallization behaviors and tensile properties of iPB-1

The excellent high temperature performances of isotactic polybutene-1 (iPB-1) in form I are demanded by many thermoplastic products like hot water pipes. However, as iPB-1 melt is a strong liquid...

Controllable and Defectless Cutting Postprocess Method via Cleavage of an Elastic Cocrystal Based on Pyrene and Tetrachloroterephthalonitrile

An organic cocrystal based on pyrene and tetrachloroterephthalonitrile was reported in this work, which exhibited both elastic and controllable and defectless cutting postprocess properties. The mechanism of postprocessing properties was...

Molecular Dynamics simulation of organic materials: Structure, potentials and the MiCMoS computer platform

The science of organic crystals and materials has seen in a few decades a spectacular improvement from months to minutes for an X-ray structure determination and from single-point lattice energy...

Portrayal of the Color Polymorphism in the 5-Acetyl-derivative of ROY

A novel derivative of the prominent ROY compound, 5-acetyl-2-((2-nitrophenyl)amino)thiophene-3-carbonitrile (AcROY), was synthesized in a two-steps procedure by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction between 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene and 2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitrile, followed by Friedel–Crafts acylation...

Mechanochemical synthesis of crystalline U(vi) triperoxide solids

Mechanochemical reaction of UO3 with metal peroxides (M2O2) yields U(vi) triperoxide materials without producing radioactive solvent wastes.

Formation and Characterization of CuPt-A type Ordered Structure in Cadmium Zinc Telluride Single Crystals

Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe) single crystals have been widely ultilized in various photoelectron devices such as radiation detectors and solar cells. Different types of ordered phases have also been investigated...

A {Cd4Cl2O14} cluster functionalized sandwich-type tungsto-arsenate as conformation modulator for misfolding Aβ peptide

A nanoscale polyoxometalate {[H2dap]6[Cd4Cl2(B-α-AsW9O34)2]} based on tetra-Cd cluster sandwiched trivacant Keggin-type tungstoarsenate was successfully designed and synthesized. It can modulate the β-sheet-rich fibrils of Aβ peptide efficiently; and thus inhibits...

LDH-derived phosphide/N-doped graphene oxide hierarchical electrocatalyst for enhanced oxygen evolution reaction

In this work, high efficient electrocatalyst Fe-Ni2P/N-GO with hierarchical structure was developed through phosphating NiFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH) supported by N-doped graphene oxide (GO), which was assembled by the...

REMINDER: CrystEngComm - Invitation to submit an article Band gap modulation of organic-inorganic Sb(Ⅲ) halide by molecular design

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials have structural diversity and flexibility. The introduction of Sb(Ⅲ) metal ions in the inorganic part can bring about semiconductor performance. In this paper, we successfully adjusted the...

Designing two Dimensional Dodecagonal Boron Nitride

Two-dimensional dodecagonal boron nitride is designed via first principles calculations. Calculations unveil that the proposed two-dimensional dodecagonal boron nitride is energetically stable and less dense than what is observed with...
