A series of nickel(ii) complexes of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tpt) have been prepared and identified using crystallographic techniques. Changes in the reaction conditions result in complexes with metal–triazine ligand ratios of 2 : 1, 1 : 1, and 1 : 2 being isolated. The results of the structural studies show that different stereoisomers can be formed, and the structures have been examined in order to identify the stabilizing features that might have led to these particular compounds being formed in preference to others in such labile systems. Numerous π–π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions can be found within the lattices of the structures, but these are notably absent in the structure of [Ni(tpt)2](ClO4)2 7, the complex isolated when perchlorate ions are added to solutions of all the other compounds.

Biological receptors distinguish and bind steroid sex hormones, e.g., androgen-, progestogen-, and estrogen-type hormones, with high selectivity. To date, artificial molecular receptors have been unable to discriminate between these classes of biosubstrates. Here, we report that an artificial polyaromatic receptor preferentially binds a single molecule of androgenic hormones, known as “male” hormones (indicated with m), over progestogens and estrogens, known as “female” hormones (indicated with f), in water. Competitive experiments established the binding selectivity of the synthetic receptor for various sex hormones to be testosterone (m) > androsterone (m) >> progesterone (f) > β-estradiol (f) > pregnenolone (f) > estriol (f). These bindings are driven by the hydrophobic effect, and the observed selectivity arises from multiple CH-π contacts and hydrogen-bonding interactions in the semirigid polyaromatic cavity. Furthermore, micromolar fluorescence detection of androgen was demonstrated using the receptor containing a fluorescent dye in water.

Self-polarized piezoelectric devices have attracted significant interest owing to their fabrication processes with low energy consumption. Herein, novel poling-free piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) based on self-polarized polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) induced by the incorporation of different surface-modified barium titanate nanoparticles (BTO NPs) were prepared via a fully printing process. To reveal the effect of intermolecular interactions between PVDF and NP surface groups, BTO NPs were modified with hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) and hydrophobic 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTES) to yield PDA-BTO and PFD-BTO, respectively. This study demonstrates that the stronger hydrogen bonding interactions existed in PFD-BTO/PVDF composite film comparative to the PDA-BTO/PVDF composite film induced the higher β-phase formation (90%), which was evidenced by the XRD, FTIR and DSC results, as well as led to a better dispersion of NPs and improved mechanical properties of composite films. Consequently, PFD-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs without electric poling exhibited a significantly improved output voltage of 5.9 V and power density of 102 μW cm−3, which was 1.8 and 2.9 times higher than that of PDA-BTO/PVDF-based PENGs, respectively. This study provides a promising approach for advancing the search for high-performance, self-polarized PENGs in next-generation electric and electronic industries.
