Article Abstract
Developing the films of N-containing unsubstituted poly(p-phenylene) (PPP) films for diverse applications is significant and highly desirable because the replacement of sp C atoms with sp N atoms will bring novel properties to the as-prepared polymers. In this research, an electrochemical-dehalogenation polymerization strategy is employed to construct two N-containing PPP films under constant potentials, where 2,5-diiodopyridine (DIPy) and 2,5-dibromopyrazine (DBPz) are used as starting agents. The corresponding polymers are named CityU-23 (for polypyridine) and CityU-24 (for polypyrazine). Moreover, it is found that both polymers can form films in situ on different conductive substrates (i.e., silicon, gold, ITO, and nickel), satisfying potential device fabrication. Furthermore, the as-obtained thin films of CityU-23 and CityU-24 exhibit good performance of alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction with the overpotential of 212.8 and 180.7 mV and the Tafel slope of 157.0 and 122.4 mV dec, respectively.

Chiral macrocycles have attracted considerable attention because of their fascinating circular chiral topologies, circularly distributed electronic structures, and excellent chiroptical features. However, the challenging synthesis and limited cases hinder the understanding, improvement, and regulation of their optoelectronic properties. To avoid this dilemma, we employed cyclic Suzuki-Miyaura coupling between dithienylethene (DTE) and [6]helicene to firstly synthesize donor-acceptor (D-A)-type π-conjugated chiral macrocycles, including m-[1 + 1], m-[2 + 2], and m-[3 + 3], where these compounds displayed photocontrollable ring sizes and chiroptical properties.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effects of postdeposition treatments (UV-ozone and thermal annealing) on aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films grown by atomic layer deposition.
- - X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the films exhibit a polycrystalline wurtzite structure with an increase in crystal size after thermal annealing, while UV-ozone treatment does not significantly alter crystallinity.
- - Postdeposition treatments influence the electrical and optical properties of ZnO:Al, with UV-ozone exposure increasing oxygen vacancies and effectively reducing sheet resistance without altering the films' basic structure or morphology.
Magnetic Anisotropies and Exchange Bias of Co/CoO Multilayers with Intermediate Ultrathin Pt Layers.

Co/CoO multilayers are fabricated by means of radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. For the formation of each multilayer period, a Co layer is initially produced followed by natural oxidation. Platinum is used not only as buffer and capping layers, but also in the form of intermediate ultrathin layers to enhance perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
