Communications Chemistry, Published online: 18 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s42004-025-01485-3Controlling the populations of triplet and singlet states in donor-acceptor conjugated molecules is a prerequisite for developing optoelectronic devices. In this…

C3-symmetric aromatic triimides (ATIs) represent an interesting class of electron-deficient molecular backbones, characterized by π-conjugated aromatic cores symmetrically substituted with three imide groups. Their unique structural and electronic features, combined with exceptional stability and straightforward N-

Whilst bis(trimethylsilyl)amide has been used extensively as a ligand across the periodic table, the chemistry of its heavier group 15 congeners is relatively underdeveloped. However, bis(trimethylsil...

As the focus evolves from structure discovery/characterization (what it is) to property/performance exploration (what it is for), the pursuit of stable functional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been ongoing in terms of both fundamental research and industrial implementation. Under the guidance of crystal engin
