AbstractAggregation-induced emission (AIE) has proven to be a viable strategy to achieve highly efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in bulk by restricting molecular motions. Here, we show that by utilizing triphenylamine (TPA) as an electronic donor that connects to an acceptor via an sp3 linker, six TPA-based AIE-active RTP luminophores were obtained. Distinct dual phosphorescence bands emitting from largely localized donor and acceptor triplet emitting states could be recorded at lowered temperatures; at room temperature, only a merged RTP band is present. Theoretical investigations reveal that the two temperature-dependent phosphorescence bands both originate from local/global minima from the lowest triplet excited state (T1). The reported molecular construct serves as an intermediary case between a fully conjugated donor-acceptor system and a donor/acceptor binary mix, which may provide important clues on the design and control of high-freedom molecular systems with complex excited-state dynamics.

Chemistries exhibiting complex dynamics—from inorganic oscillators to gene regulatory networks—have been long known but either cannot be reprogrammed at will, or rely on the sophisticated chemistry underlying the central dogma. Can simpler molecular mechanisms, designed from scratch, exhibit the same range of behaviors? Abstract coupled chemical reactions have been proposed as a programming language for complex dynamics, along with their systematic implementation using short synthetic DNA molecules. We developed this technology for dynamical systems, identifying critical design principles and codifying them into a compiler automating the design process. Using this approach, we built an oscillator containing only DNA components, establishing that Watson-Crick base pairing interactions alone suffice for arbitrarily complex dynamics. Our results argue that autonomous molecular systems that interact with and control their chemical environment can be designed via molecular programming languages.

AbstractIn this article, we review some recent theoretical results about intrusion and extrusion of non-wetting liquids in and out of cavities of nanotextured surfaces and nanoporous materials. Nanoscale confinement allows these processes to happen at conditions which significantly differ from bulk phase coexistence. In particular, the pressure at which a liquid penetrates in and exits from cavities is of interest for many technological applications such as energy storage, dissipation, and conversion, materials with negative compressibility, ion channels, liquid chromatography, and more. Notwithstanding its technological interest, intrusion/extrusion processes are difficult to understand and control solely via experiments: the missing step is often a simple theory capable of providing a microscopic interpretation of the results, e.g., of liquid porosimetry or other techniques used in the field, especially in the case of complex nanoporous media. In this context, simulations can help shedding light on the relation between the morphology of pores, the chemical composition of the solids and liquids, and the thermodynamics and kinetics of intrusion and extrusion. Indeed, the intrusion/extrusion kinetics is determined by the presence of free energy barriers and special approaches, the so-called rare event techniques, must be used to study these processes. Usually, rare event techniques are employed to investigate processes occurring in relatively simple molecular systems, while intrusion/extrusion concerns the collective dynamics of hundreds to thousands of degrees of freedom, the molecules of a liquid entering in or exiting from a cavity, which, from the methodological point of view, is itself a challenge.

Ways to characterize and control excited states at the single-molecule and atomic levels are needed to exploit excitation-triggered energy-conversion processes. Here, we present a single-molecule spectroscopic method with micro–electron volt energy and submolecular-spatial resolution using laser driving of nanocavity plasmons to induce molecular luminescence in scanning tunneling microscopy. This tunable and monochromatic nanoprobe allows state-selective characterization of the energy levels and linewidths of individual electronic and vibrational quantum states of a single molecule. Moreover, we demonstrate that the energy levels of the states can be finely tuned by using the Stark effect and plasmon-exciton coupling in the tunneling junction. Our technique and findings open a route to the creation of designed energy-converting functions by using tuned energy levels of molecular systems.
