Nature Communications
An open access, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in all areas of the biological, health, physical, chemical and Earth sciences.
Nanofluidic Sensing
The unique nanoconfined water often leads to the discovery of unexpected phenomena. Here, we report an electrically controlled two-dimensional channels with cation intercalated for nanofluidic sensing, which opens a door for the field of sensing.
Safeguarding Blue Skies: Advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks for Pollution Remediation
Benzene and SO2 coexist as hazardous air pollutants. Here we synthesized a robust pyrazolate MOF sorbent with accessible Ni2+ sites that can simultaneously capture trace amounts of benzene and SO2 under humid conditions.
TPE-Embedded Butterfly Bis-Crown Ether with Controllable Conformation and Supramolecular Chiroptical Property
A series of bis-crown ethers with AIE-active TPE core are synthesized via intramolecular McMurry coupling. The incorporation of flexible side chains into the rigid TPE core results in specific strain on the molecules, generating two conformers with specific semi-rigid symmetric/asymmetric structures
