ortho-Fluoroazobenzenes are a remarkable example of bistable photoswitches, addressable by visible light. Symmetrical, highly fluorinated azobenzenes bearing an iodine substituent in para-position were shown to be suitable supramolecular building blocks both in solution and in the solid state in combination with neutral halogen bonding acceptors, such as lutidines. Therefore, we investigate the photochemistry of a series of azobenzene photoswitches. Upon introduction of iodoethynyl groups, the halogen bonding donor properties are significantly strengthened in solution. However, the bathochromic shift of the π→π* band leads to a partial overlap with the n→π* band, making it slightly more difficult to address. The introduction of iodine substituents is furthermore accompanied with a diminishing thermal half-life. A series of three azobenzenes with different halogen bonding donor properties are discussed in relation to their changing photophysical properties, rationalized by DFT calculations.

AbstractSpanning a range of hardware platforms, the building-blocks of quantum processors are today sufficiently advanced to begin work on scaling-up these systems into complex quantum machines. A key subsystem of all quantum machinery is the interface between the isolated qubits that encode quantum information and the classical control and readout technology needed to operate them. As few-qubit devices are combined to construct larger, fault-tolerant quantum systems in the near future, the quantum-classical interface will pose new challenges that increasingly require approaches from the engineering disciplines in combination with continued fundamental advances in physics, materials and mathematics. This review describes the subsystems comprising the quantum-classical interface from the viewpoint of an engineer, experimental physicist or student wanting to enter the field of solid-state quantum information technology. The fundamental signalling operations of readout and control are reviewed for a variety of qubit platforms, including spin systems, superconducting implementations and future devices based on topological degrees-of-freedom. New engineering opportunities for technology development at the boundary between qubits and their control hardware are identified, transversing electronics to cryogenics.

Review Reports

This short review reports on spinel-type mixed oxides as catalysts for the transformation of biomass-derived building blocks into chemicals and fuel additives. After an overview of the various methods reported in the literature for the synthesis of mixed oxides with spinel structure, the use of this class of materials for the chemical-loop reforming of bioalcohols is reviewed in detail. This reaction is aimed at the production of H2 with intrinsic separation of C-containing products, but also is a very versatile tool for investigating the solid-state chemistry of spinels.

Oligonuclear complexes as well as coordination polymers with various network topologies can be obtained by using homo- or heterobinuclear complexes as starting materials. These building blocks are stable complexes, where the metal ions are held together by compartmental ligands, or alkoxo-bridged Cu(II) species. The binuclear nodes can be connected through appropriate exo-dentate ligands, or through metal-containing anions (e.g., [M(CN)6]3-, M = CrIII, FeIII, CoIII). A rich variety of 3d-3d and 3d-4f heterometallic complexes, with interesting architectures and topologies of the spin carriers, has been obtained. A particular case is the one concerning the 3d-4f binuclear nodes. Following this strategy, we were able to obtain coordination polymers containing three different spin carriers (2p-3d-4f; 3d-3d'-4f).

"Crown ethers, such as dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) are in principle perfect building blocks to be stacked on top of each other for one-dimensional (1D) channel formation. However, in the more than 1000 publications on crown ethers in the solid state, only one case was of channel formation described, but not as main focus of research.[1] We now present a way to systematically induce the stacking of DB18C6 with the help of polyhalides, which play the roles of scaffolds via halogen bonding.[2] These compounds can be considered as ""supramolecular straws"". Using for example potassium as couter ion for triiodide for example, we obtained a solid which contains three differently filled, parallel channels in the solid state, which are arranged between the polyhalide anions. Exchanging potassium with sodium by immersion of a single crystal into NaOH solution leads to a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation into a compound with two channel types. This transition from a system crystallizing initially in the P2-space group to yield a compound in Pccn is only possible under these very special conditions. We will further present how the ion transport through these channels can be quantified and which process is involved in ion exchange. The role of the polyhalide anions, which cannot be replaced by other linear anions, will be emphasized as well. "
