Tuning and characterizing the interfacial structure of organic semiconductors on graphene is essential for graphene-based devices. Regulation of the supramolecular assembling structure of oligothiophenes on graphene by changing functional groups attached to the backbone of oligothiophenes is described and the assembling behavior is compared with that on the basal plane of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite. It reveals that terminal functional groups attached to the conjugated backbone of oligothiophene can entirely change the assembling structures. Significant solvent and substrate effects have also been confirmed by comparing the assembling structures of oligothiophenes deposited from tetrahydrofuran, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, and octanoic acid onto graphene and graphite.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of organic salts with melting points below 100°C. Owing to their unique chemical and physical properties, they are used as solvents and catalysts in various chemical transformations, progressively replacing common volatile organic solvents (VOCs) in green synthetic applications. However, their intrinsic ionic nature can restrict the use of mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the time progress of a reaction occurring in an IL medium, thus preventing one from following the formation of the reaction products or intercepting the reaction intermediates.

At present, two competing hyperpolarization (HP) techniques, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen (para-H) induced polarization (PHIP), can generate sufficiently high liquid state C signal enhancement for in vivo studies. PHIP utilizes the singlet spin state of para-H to create non-equilibrium spin populations. In hydrogenative PHIP, para-H is irreversibly added to unsaturated precursors, typically in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst.

The contamination of agricultural soils with military-grade explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazaccyclohexane (RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclohexane (HMX) is an emerging concern in post-conflict regions, where food crops may take up these compounds. This study presents a novel analytical approach for detecting explosive residues in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown on contaminated substrates.

Background: Copper-mediated radiofluorination (CMRF) is a breakthrough in F-radiochemistry, enabling F incorporation into molecules even at electron-rich aromatic positions. In recent years, several improved protocols have been reported to advance the application of CMRF. These advancements primarily focus on improving radiochemical conversion, expanding substrate scope, and enabling scalability for remote-controlled radiotracer production.

The development of cellulose-based electromagnetic shielding materials is critical for the advancement of sustainable, lightweight, and flexible electronic devices. Most high-performance composites rely on nanocellulose, which is expensive and energy-intensive to produce. In this work, we employ chemically modified conventional eucalyptus pulp fibers (non-nano) to fabricate Janus-structured cellulose/MXene composite papers.
