Article Abstract
Electron impact resonances of neutral molecules can be probed using 2D photoelectron spectroscopy of their radical anions, with a core advantage of being able to introduce solvent molecules in a systematic manner through clustering. This approach has been employed previously to probe the effect of water molecules on the resonances of anthracene. Here, we extend this study to probe the resonances of anthracene in the presence of methanol. We find that the nature of the solvent has little impact on the resonances from the perspective of the anion. Only the electron affinity is observed to increase, which corresponds to a concomitant decrease in resonance energy as viewed from a free electron impacting the anthracene-methanol cluster. For a critical cluster size, , the lowest resonance becomes a bound state and the mechanism for electron loss switches from a prompt autodetachment process to a statistical thermionic emission process. We posit that the identity of a general solvent molecule only impacts the stabilization of the resonances of anthracene, which in turn affects the overall decay mechanism and , but the inherent resonance dynamics of anthracene is unaffected by the solvent.

Creating optical materials with linear and nonlinear properties has always been a focus of attention in the scientific community. Recently, Pf (x) displays unusual photophysical properties, such as near-infrared absorption and emission, and transparency in the visible light region, etc. However, from the perspective of improving material performance, its structure-property correlation remains to be fully investigated.

The significant enhancement in molecular oxygen activation via multilevel supramolecular assembly provides an effective strategy for advancing the design and development of high-efficiency supramolecular photosensitizer. Here, we designed and constructed a multilevel supramolecular assembly based on anthracene derivative (PA), cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and commercial dyes Cyanine 5 (Cy5). Among them, PA can efficiently absorb light energy and act as an energy donor, while CB[7] and PSS serve as the primary macrocycle and secondary assembly constraint to prominently enhance the fluorescence emission performance of PA.

Nine novel compounds, comprising seven tetrahydroanthraquinones (auxarthrolones A-G, 1-7), a γ-butenolide glycoside (malfilamentoside E, 26), and a γ-butenolide (auxarthrolide A, 27), together with eighteen known compounds (8-25) were isolated from rice-based solid culture of Auxarthron umbrinum (A. umbrinum) DSM3193 using the one strain many compounds (OSMAC) approach. The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry (MS), and NMR calculation combined with DP4+ analysis or MAEΔΔδ parameter, while the absolute configurations of new compounds were established through single-crystal X-ray diffraction, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopic data analysis and/or chemical derivatization.

Organic materials are increasingly commanding attention as a sustainable choice for charge storage in rechargeable batteries. To fully realise their promise, significantly more understanding is needed in terms of structure-property correlations. Here we report a highly conjugated molecule, disodium anthracene-9,10-carboxylate (NaADC), synthesised using rapid microwave-assisted heating and evaluated as an anode material in sodium-ion batteries.
