Charge transfer, or the movement of electrons, can occur either within a molecule or between two molecules. Combining the two types of charge transfer is challenging. Now, scientists have developed a ...

Transfer of charge is a process in which electrons move within a molecule or between two molecules. It is a crucial chemical process that can be applied to a wide range of technologies. Intramolecular ...

A donor-acceptor pyrazinacene derivative with triphenylamine substituents selectively detects naphthalene via π-hole⋅⋅⋅π interactions, inducing a striking, reversible color change from greenish-blue ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Structural colors – the vibrant hues that arise not from pigments but from the interaction of light with microscopic structures – are among nature’s most captivating phenomena.

A group of chemics working with the Osaka University in Japan have identified a rare crystal that melts whenever it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The researchers published their findings in a new ...
