Article Abstract
Heteronuclear complexes FeCp2 -DTE-C≡C-Ru(dppe)2 Cl (1 o; dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, Cp=cyclopentadienyl, DTE=dithienylethene) and FeCp2-DTE-C≡C-Ru(dppe)2-C≡C-DTE-FeCp2 (2 oo), with redox-active ferrocenyl and ruthenium centers separated by a photochromic DTE moiety, were prepared to achieve photoswitchable charge delocalization and Fe⋅⋅⋅Ru electronic communication. Upon UV-light irradiation of 2 oo, the Fe⋅⋅⋅Ru heterometallic electronic interaction is increasingly facilitated with stepwise photocyclization, 2 oo→2 co→2 cc; this is ascribed to the gradual increase in π-conjugated systems. The near-infrared absorptions in mixed-valence species [2 oo](+) /[2 co](+) /[2 cc](+) are gradually intensified following the conversion of [2 oo](+) →[2 co](+) →[2 cc](+) , which demonstrates that the extent of charge delocalization shows progressive enhancement with stepwise photocyclization. As revealed by electrochemical, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies, complex 2 exhibits nine switchable states through stepwise photochromic and reversible redox processes.

Additive assisted strategies play a crucial role in optimizing the morphology and improving the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), yet the molecular-level mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we employ molecular dynamics (AIMD) and density functional theory (DFT) to elucidate the influence of typical additives of 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) and 3,5-dichlorobromobenzene (DCBB) on molecular packing, electronic structures, and charge transport. It can be observed that both additives can enhance the stacking properties of the donor and acceptor materials, yet they have different effects on the local electrostatic environment.

Achieving UVA/B-selective, skin-inspired nociceptors with perception and blockade functions at the single-unit device level remains challenging. This is because the device necessitates distinct components for every performance metric, thereby leading to complex preparation processes and restricted performance, as well as the absence of deep UV (UVB and below)-selective semiconductors. Here, to address this, we develop a structure-simplification skin-inspired nociceptor using a reverse type-II CuAgSbI/MoS heterostructure.

Organic mixed ionic-electronic conducting polymers remain at the forefront of materials development for bioelectronic device applications. During electrochemical operation, structural dynamics and variations in electrostatic interactions in the polymer occur, which affect dual transport of the ions and electronic charge carriers. Such effects remain unclear due to a lack of spectroscopic methods capable of capturing these dynamics, which hinders the rational design of higher-performance polymers.

Transition metal (TM)-doped silicon clusters represent critical model systems for understanding nanoscale hybridization and stability mechanisms. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of structural evolution, electronic properties, and thermodynamic stability in ruthenium-doped silicon clusters (RuSi̅, = 7-11) through integrated experimental and computational approaches. Anion photoelectron spectroscopy combined with density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP), coupled-cluster theory [CCSD(T)], and bonding analyses (AdNDP, NICS, ACID) reveals charge-state-dependent structural transitions, with full Ru encapsulation emerging at = 10 for anions and = 11 for neutrals.
