Article Abstract
Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties hold tremendous potential in biomedical sensing/imaging and telecommunications. In this study, a multiscale method combined with thermal vibration correlation function (TVCF) theory is used to investigate the photophysical properties of the novel TADF molecule CNPy-SPAC in toluene and crystal and amorphous states. In the crystal state, an increase in radiative rates and a decrease in nonradiative rates lead to AIE. Additionally, conformational isomerization effects result in significantly different luminescent efficiencies between the two crystal structures. Furthermore, the isomerization effect allows for the coexistence of three configurations in the amorphous state. Among them, the non-TADF quasi-axial (Qa) configuration may facilitate energy transfer to the TADF-characteristic quasi-equal/quasi-equal-H (Qe/Qe-H) configurations, enhancing AIE. Moreover, the Qa configuration enables rapid electron transport, offering the potential for self-doped devices. Our work elucidates a new mechanism for the isomerization effect in AIE-TADF molecules.

Polyesters are a widely used class of biomaterials thanks to their (bio)degradability and tunable thermomechanical properties. Introducing dynamic disulfide bonds into their backbone enables them to be degraded through different routes and also imparts self-healing properties. However, while numerous polymerization protocols exist with which to introduce disulfide bonds into linear polymers, these methods lack the versatility needed to produce materials with diverse thermomechanical properties.

The gas-phase structures of dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) and dinaphtho-24-crown-8 (DN24C8) complexes with divalent metal ions (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Fe, Ni, and Zn) were investigated by cryogenic ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) in combination with density functional theory calculations. Several complexes, particularly those of DN24C8, exhibited multiple coexisting conformers. DFT-optimized structures were classified based on the relative orientation of the two aromatic rings in the crown ether.

Several carrier proteins are involved in nuclear translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. We have previously demonstrated the binding of several intact folded and disordered proteins to the human isoform importin α3 (Impα3); furthermore, disordered peptides, corresponding to their nuclear localization signals (NLSs), also interact with Impα3. These proteins and their isolated NLSs also bind to the truncated importin species ∆Impα3, which does not contain the N-terminal disordered importin binding domain (IBB).

Dimethoxyethane (DME) is the monomer of polyethylene oxide, a polymer widely used in materials science, with its conformation affecting properties such as host-guest interactions with ions. This quantum-chemical study reveals that DME undergoes rotational isomerization among nine rotamers, favoring a zigzag (all-trans) conformation, followed by a conformer with the OCCO fragment in a gauche arrangement. This preference strengthens with increasing chain length but transitions to a gauche configuration resembling a helical structure in polar solvents like DMSO.

Starch-lipid complexes are generating great research interest due to their promising health benefits. However, there remains a big challenge for preparing typical V-type crystalline starch-diacylglycerol or triacylglycerol complexes. In this study, two diacylglycerol (DAG) isomers ((1,2 dipalmitoyl glycerol; 1,2 DPG) and (1,3 dipalmitoyl glycerol; 1,3 DPG)) were used to prepare the V-type crystalline starch-lipid complexes and to understand the role of molecular conformation in the formation of starch-DAG complexes using a modified previous protocol in which the complexing parameters were optimized.
