Abstract
Low temperature synthesis of ZnO particles without using reactive materials, solvents and post-treatments is still a serious challenge for both fundamental research and industrial applications. In this research, we report the dry synthesis of ZnO particles only by using Zn(acac)2 and supercritical CO2 (scCO2) at the low temperature of 60 °C. The synthesis was performed using CO2 and N2 from 0.1 to 30.0 MPa for 18 h. As a result, ZnO yields increased with a rise in the CO2 pressure and reached 67% at 30.0 MPa while N2 medium gave low yields below 4.9% regardless of the pressure. Additionally, the detailed characterization results and the phase behavior observations evidentially showed the formation of zinc-CO/CO2-organic complexes in the solid phase of Zn(acac)2 powder under scCO2, resulting in the accelerated formation of ZnO particles. These findings suggest that scCO2 has potential value to drive the formation reaction of zinc-CO/CO2-organic complexes, which allows the low temperature synthesis of ZnO particles under dry conditions without using reactive materials, solvents and post-treatments.

Abstract
A new diradical based on diindenocarbazole or difluorenopyrrole was synthesized and experimentally characterized by optical, electrochemical, and magnetic techniques, as well as quantum chemical calculations. The isomerism of these structures tunes the diradical character and the associated properties, representing a unique case of such important modulation. A full study of the electronic structure was carried out considering the perturbative interactions between different canonical forms as well as the anti-aromatic character of the molecular cores. Such a study reveals how we can tune diradical character simply by reorganizing the bonding patterns at constant chemical costs (composition).

Abstract
Precise engineering of excited-state interactions between an organic conjugated molecule and a two-dimensional semiconducting inorganic nanosheet, specifically the manipulation of charge-transfer excited (CTE) states, still remains a challenge for state-of-the-art photochemistry. Herein, we report a long-lived, highly emissive CTE state at structurally well-defined hetero-nanostructure interfaces of photoactive pyrene and two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets via an N-benzylsuccinimide bridge (Py-Bn-MoS2). Spectroscopic measurements reveal that no charge-transfer state is formed in the ground state, but the locally-excited (LE) state of pyrene in Py-Bn-MoS2 efficiently generates an unusual emissive CTE state. Theoretical studies elucidate the interaction of MoS2 vacant orbitals with the pyrene LE state to form a CTE state that shows a distinct solvent dependence of the emission energy. This is the first example of organic-inorganic 2D hetero-nanostructures displaying mixed luminescence properties by an accurate design of the bridge structure, and therefore represents an important step in their applications for energy conversion and optoelectronic devices and sensors.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive ruthenium complexes proximal- and distal-[Ru(C10tpy)(C10pyqu) OH2]2+ (proximal-1 and distal-1; C10tpy = 4'-decyloxy-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine and C10pyqu = 2-[2'-(6'-decyloxy)-pyridyl]quinoline) were experimentally studied for adduct formation with a model DNA base. At 303 K, proximal-1 exhibited 1:1 adduct formation with 9-ethylguanine (9-EtG) to yield proximal-[Ru(C10tpy)(C10pyqu)(9-EtG)]2+ (proximal-RuEtG). Rotation of the guanine ligand on the ruthenium center was sterically hindered by the presence of an adjacent quinoline moiety at 303 K. Results from 1H NMR measurements indicated that photoirradiation of a proximal-RuEtG solution caused photoisomerization to distal-RuEtG, whereas heating of proximal-RuEtG caused ligand substitution to proximal-1. The distal isomer of the aqua complex, distal-1, was observed to slowly revert to proximal-1 at 303 K. In the presence of 9-EtG, distal-1 underwent thermal back-isomerization to proximal-1 and adduct formation to distal-RuEtG. Kinetic analysis of 1H NMR measurements showed that adduct formation between proximal-1 and 9-EtG was 8-fold faster than that between distal-1 and 9-EtG. This difference may be attributed to intramolecular hydrogen bonding and steric repulsion between the aqua ligand and the pendant moiety of the bidentate ligand..

Abstract
The trace detection of NO2 through small sensors is essential for air quality measurement and the health field; however, small sensors based on electrical devices cannot detect NO2 with the desired selectivity and quantitativity in the parts per billion (ppb) concentration region. In this study, we fabricated metalloporphyrin-modified graphene field-effect transistors (FETs). Mg-, Ni-, Cu-, and Co-porphyrins were deposited on the graphene FETs, and the transfer characteristics were measured. With the introduction of NO2 in the ppb concentration region, the FETs of pristine graphene and Ni-, Cu-, and Co-porphyrin-modified graphene showed an insufficient response, whereas the Mg-porphyrin-modified graphene exhibited large voltage shifts in the transport characteristics. This indicates that Mg-porphyrin acts as an adsorption site for NO2 molecules. An analysis of the Dirac-point voltage shifts with the introduction of NO2 indicates that the shifts were well-fitted with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, and the limit of detection for NO2 was found to be 0.3 ppb in N2. The relationship between the mobility and the Dirac-point voltage shift with the NO2 concentration shows that the complex of NO2 and Mg-porphyrin behaves as a point-like charge impurity. Moreover, the Mg-porphyrin-modified graphene FETs show less response to other gases (O2, H2, acetic acid, trimethylamine, methanol, and hexane), thus indicating high sensitivity for NO2 detection. Furthermore, we successfully demonstrated the quantitative detection of NO2 in air, which is near the environmental standards. In conclusion, the results of the Mg-porphyrin-modified graphene FETs enable a rapid, easy, and selective detectability.

Abstract
Few artificial systems can be exfoliated into, and observed as, single wires with lengths of more than several micrometers, and no previous example features a copolymer structure; this is in contrast with biopolymers such as single-strand DNAs. Here, we create a set of one-dimensional coordination copolymers featuring bis(dipyrrinato)zinc complex motifs in the main chain. A series of random copolymers is synthesized from two types of bridging dipyrrin proligand and zinc acetate, with various molar ratios between the proligands. Sonication of the bulk solid copolymer in organic solvent exfoliates single strands with lengths of 1.4 to 3.0 μm. Atomic force microscopy at ambient conditions visualizes the copolymer structure as height distributions. The copolymer structure improves its photoluminescence (up to 32%) relative to that of the corresponding homopolymers (3 and 10%). Numerical simulation based on a restricted random walk model reproduces the photoluminescence intensification, suggesting at the same time the existence of fast intrawire exciton hopping.
