For a given number of skeletal atoms, the π-electron count of an unsaturated heterocycle can be modified by the incorporation of heteroatoms from different periodic groups. Sulfur and nitrogen are particularly effective in this regard, as their high electronegativity can stabilize electron-rich π-systems. A variety of aromatic, anti-aromatic, and radical systems can be prepared from admixtures of these elements. While the properties of these ring systems are interesting in their own right, the compounds are not without relevance in the design of new materials. The strong interannular interactions that are developed between these rings in the solid state makes them ideal candidates for the fabrication of molecular conductors. The origins and development of this area of research are the subjects of this presentation.

: Graphene as Organic material showed special attention due to their electronic and conductive properties. Moreover, its highly conjugated chemical structures and relative easy modification permitted varied design and control of targeted properties and applications. In addition, this Nanomaterial accompanied with pseudo Electromagnetic fields permitted photonics, electronics and Quantum interactions with their surrounding that generated new materials properties. In this context, this short Review, intends to discuss many of these studies related with new materials based on graphene for light and electronic interactions, conductions, and new modes of non-classical light generation. It should be highlighted that these new materials and metamaterials are currently in progress. For this reason it was showed and discussed some representative examples from Fundamental Research with Potential Applications as well as for their incorporations to real Advanced devices and miniaturized instrumentation. In this way, it was proposed this Special issue entitled “Design and synthesis of Hybrids Graphene based Metamaterials”, in order to open and share the knowledge of the Current State of the Art in this Multidisciplinary field.

Phoxonic crystal (PXC) is a promising artificial periodic material for optomechanical systems and acousto-optical devices. The multi-objective topology optimization of dual phononic and photonic max relative bandgaps in a kind of two-dimensional (2D) PXC is investigated to find the regular pattern of topological configurations. In order to improve the efficiency, a multi-level substructure scheme is proposed to analyze phononic and photonic band structures, which is stable, efficient and less memory-consuming. The efficient and reliable numerical algorithm provides a powerful tool to optimize and design crystal devices. The results show that with the reduction of the relative phononic bandgap (PTBG), the central dielectric scatterer becomes smaller and the dielectric veins of cross-connections between different dielectric scatterers turn into the horizontal and vertical shape gradually. These characteristics can be of great value to the design and synthesis of new materials with different topological configurations for applications of the PXC.

Cellulose aerogels are intriguing new materials produced by supercritical drying of regenerated cellulose obtained by solvent exchange of solid Lyocell moldings. FromN-methylmorpholine-N-oxide solutions with cellulose contents between 1 and 12%, dimensionally stable cellulose bodies are produced, in which the solution structure of the cellulose is largely preserved and transferred into the solid state. The specific density and surface of the obtained aerogels range from 0.05 to 0.26 g/cm3and from 172 to 284m2/g, respectively, depending on the cellulose content of the Lyocell dopes and regeneration procedure. A reliable extraction and drying procedure using supercritical carbon dioxide, the advantageous use of NBnMO as stabilizer for the Lyocell dopes, and selected physical properties of the materials is communicated.

Abstract The inorganic ring systems BNCO2Si2 (B) and BCO3Si4 (E) were prepared for the first time via equations (1) and (5), system BCO3Si2 (C) enlarged by preparation of compound C 1 via eq. (4). Synthesis of a system BCO2Si2 (D) failed as well as preparation of five and seven membered building units VI and VIII. For bis(trimethylsiloxy)phenylborane (IX) detailed and additional information about preparation, properties and structure analysis is given. Compound VTI, C5H15NOSi, was obtained for the first time via eq. (7) and described in its properties.
