Exploring the World of Double Nanohoops

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
As two conjugated nanohoops covalently linked by a central unit, double nanohoops are a relatively new class of strained nanocarbons with different properties to single nanohoops. This review gives an overview of all reported double nanohoops, categorizing their structures, syntheses, and discussing properties and applications. Creativity and synthetic

Mechanochromic Organic Materials: Molecular Mechanisms and Multidimensional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Mechanochromic (MC) organic materials change color in response to mechanical force. This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms (e.g., aggregation‐induced emission, AIE) and explores their multidimensional applications in sensors, anti‐counterfeiting, biomedical devices, and structural health monitoring, providing a roadmap for future smart ...
