Abstract
Organic electrodes may someday replace transition metals oxides, the current standard in electrochemical energy storage, including those with severe issues of availability, cost, and recyclability. To realize this more sustainable future, a thorough understanding of structure-property relationships and design rules for organic electrodes must be developed. Further, it is imperative that supramolecular interactions between organic species, which are often overlooked, be included in organic electrode design. In this review, we showcase how molecular and polymeric electrodes that host non-covalent interactions outperform materials without these features. Using select examples from the literature, we emphasize how dispersion forces, hydrogen-bonding, and radical pairing can be leveraged to improve the stability, capacity, and energy density of organic electrodes. Throughout this review, we identify potential next-generation designs and opportunities for continued investigation. We hope that this review will serve as a catalyst for collaboration between synthetic chemists and the energy storage community, which we view as a prerequisite to achieving high-performing supramolecular electrode materials.

Abstract
Liquid metals have attracted a lot of attention as self-healing materials in many fields. However, their applications in secondary batteries are challenged by electrode failure and side reactions due to the drastic volume changes during the "liquid-solid-liquid" transition. Herein, a simple encapsulated, mass-producible method is developed to prepare room-temperature liquid metal-infilled microcapsules (LMMs) with highly conductive carbon shells as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. Due to the reasonably designed voids in the microcapsule, the liquid metal particles (LMPs) can expand freely without damaging the electrode structure. The LMMs-based anodes exhibit superior capacity of rete-performance and ultra-long cycling stability remaining 413 mAh g-1 after 5000 cycles at 5.0 A g-1. Ex situ X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) reveal that the LMMs anode displays a stable alloying/de-alloying mechanism. DFT calculations validate the electronic structure and stability of the room-temperature LMMs system. These findings will bring some new opportunities to develop high-performance battery systems.

Abstract
On account of the scarcity of molecules with a satisfactory second near-infrared (NIR-II) response, the design of high-performance organic NIR photothermal materials has been limited. Herein, we investigate a cocrystal incorporating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and tetrachloroperylene dianhydride (TCPDA) components. A stable radical was generated through charge transfer from TTF to TCPDA, which exhibits strong and wide-ranging NIR-II absorption. The metal-free TTF-TCPDA cocrystal in this research shows high photothermal conversion capability under 1064 nm laser irradiation and clear photothermal imaging. The remarkable conversion ability-which is a result of twisted components in the cocrystal-has been demonstrated by analyses of single crystal X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy as well as theoretical calculations. We have discovered that space charge separation and the ordered lattice in the TTF-TCPDA cocrystal suppress the radiative decay, while simultaneously strong intermolecular charge transfer enhances the non-radiative decay. The twisted TCPDA component induces rapid charge recombination, while the distorted configuration in TTF-TCPDA favors an internal non-radiative pathway. This research has provided a comprehensive understanding of the photothermal conversion mechanism and opened a new way for the design of advanced organic NIR-II photothermal materials.

Abstract
Molecular clusters can function as nanoscale atoms/superatoms, assembling into superatomic solids, a new class of solid-state materials with designable properties through modifications on superatoms. To explore possibilities on diversifying building blocks, here we thoroughly studied one representative superatom, Co6 Se8 (PEt3 )6 . We probed its structural, electronic, and magnetic properties and revealed its detailed electronic structure as valence electrons delocalize over inorganic [Co6 Se8 ] core while ligands function as an insulated shell. 59 Co SSNMR measurements on the core and 31 P, 13 C on the ligands show that the neutral Co6 Se8 (PEt3 )6 is diamagnetic and symmetric, with all ligands magnetically equivalent. Quantum computations cross-validate NMR results and reveal degenerate delocalized HOMO orbitals, indicating aromaticity. Ligand substitution keeps the inorganic core nearly intact. After losing one electron, the unpaired electron in [Co6 Se8 (PEt3 )6 ]+1 is delocalized, causing paramagnetism and a delocalized electron spin. Notably, this feature of electron/spin delocalization over a large cluster is attractive for special single-electron devices.

Abstract
Here we unveil a chiral molecular redox switch derived from PDI-based twistacenes─chPDI[2] that has the remarkable attributes of high-intensity and a broadband chiral response. This material exhibits facile, stable, and reversible multistate chiroptical switching behavior over a broad active wavelength range close to 700 nm, encompassing ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared regions. Upon reduction, chPDI[2] exhibits a substantial increase in the amplitude of its circular dichroic response, with an outstanding |ΔΔε| > 300 M-1 cm-1 and a high dissymmetry factor of 3 × 10-2 at 960 nm. DFT calculations suggest that the long wavelength CD signal for doubly reduced chPDI[2] originates from excitation of the PDI backbone to the π* orbital of the bridging alkene. Importantly, the dimer's molecular contortion facilitates ionic diffusion, enabling chiral switching in solid state films. The high dissymmetry factors and near-infrared response establish chPDI[2] as a unique chiroptic switch.

Abstract
Substituted tetraazacoronene fluorophores have been obtained selectively by double Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of symmetrically substituted 1,2-bis(pinacolatoboryl)alkenes with a bay-substituted octaazaperopyrenedioxide (OAPPDO). Subsequent Scholl reaction of the dimethoxyphenylated derivative allowed further π-extension of the azaperylene core, yielding a highly redox-active bis(phenanthro)tetraazacoronene.

Abstract
Tetraazacoronenes were synthesized from bay-functionalized tetraazaperylenes by Zr-mediated cyclization and four-fold Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling. In the Zr-mediated approach, an η4 -cyclobutadiene-zirconium(IV) complex was isolated as an intermediate to cyclobutene-annulated derivatives. Using bis(pinacolatoboryl)vinyltrimethylsilane as a C2 building block gave the tetraazacoronene target compound along with the condensed azacoronene dimer as well as higher oligomers. The series of extended azacoronenes show highly resolved UV/Vis absorption bands with increased extinction coefficients for the extended aromatic cores and fluorescence quantum yields of up to 80 % at 659 nm.

Abstract
For obtaining high-performance lithium-ion batteries, it is important to develop new cathode materials with high capacity. Herein, a one-dimensional coordination polymer [Co(4-DTBPT) (DMF)2(H2O)2] (4-DTBPT) (C10H4O8) (Co-DTBPT) (4-DTBPT = 2,7-di(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4yl)benzo[lmn][3,8] phenanthroline-1,3,6,8-(2H,7H)-tetraone; DMF = dimethylformamide) was synthesized and its electrochemical performance as the cathode material of lithium-ion batteries was first investigated. The Co-DTBPT electrode showed better cycling stability and a specific capacity of 55 mA h g-1 at 50 mA g-1 after 50 cycles, and the coulombic efficiency was close to 100%. The capacity contribution of the Co-DTBPT electrode may be ascribed to the redox reaction of the Co(II) ion and the 4-DTBPT ligand in the process of charge and discharge. Our work proves once again that using one-dimensional coordination polymers as cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries is a feasible way.

Abstract
Incorporating two pyrrole subunits at the bay positions of perylene-diimide has been a long-pursued goal since 2009, but it has not been achieved due to high strain. Herein, via one step Buchwald-Hartwig reaction, PDI-2N was successfully generated with a bowl depth of 1.52 Å. Though with electron-rich pyrrole embedding, PDI-2N's radical anion and dianion were facilely prepared and were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Moreover, PDI-2N crystallized in different manners under distinct conditions, and it formed tubular crystals with infinite two-directional columnar stacking under DMF conditions. This finding develops a dream bowl-shaped PDI derivative that holds great promise in organoelectronics.

Abstract
Organic cathode materials have attracted extensive research interest for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their diverse structures and tunable properties. However, the preparation of organic cathode materials with high capacities, long cycling life, and high energy densities still remains a big challenge. To address these issues, we designed and synthesized a novel multinitro-decorated organic small molecule, N4,N4''-bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-5'-(4-((2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino)phenyl)-[1,1':3',1''-terphenyl]-4,4''-diamine (TAPB-6NO2), where the unique electronic character of nitro group should enable TAPB-6NO2 to be a promising cathode candidate for LIBs. We found that the introduction of multiple nitro groups could efficiently reduce the solubility of TAPB-6NO2 in organic electrolytes, resulting in a high specific capacity of around 180 mAh g-1 and stable cycling with a capacity retention of 91% after 1100 cycles at 1000 mA g-1. This work suggests that attaching multiple nitro groups on a small molecule is an effective approach to construct high-performance organic cathode materials for stable and sustainable rechargeable LIBs.

Abstract
We report a reliable way to manipulate the dynamic, axial chirality in perylene diimide (PDI)-based twistacenes. Specifically, we reveal how chiral substituents on the imide position induce the helicity in a series of PDI-based twistacenes. We demonstrate that this remote chirality is able to control the helicity of flexible [4]helicene subunits by UV-vis, CD spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and TDDFT calculations. Furthermore, we have discovered that both the chiral substituent and the solvent each has a strong impact on the sign and intensity of the CD signals, highlighting the control of the dynamic helicity in this flexible system. DFT calculations suggest that the steric interaction of the chiral substituents is the important factor in how well a particular group is at inducing a preferred helicity.
