Three‐Dimensional Chemically Stable Covalent Organic Frameworks via Hydrophobic Engineering
The development of three‐dimensional (3D) covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with high chemical stability is of critical importance for their practical uses. In this work, we for the first time demonstrate the stability of 3D COFs can be improved by periodic decoration of isopropyl groups on their backbones. Owing to the strong hydrophobicity of the alkyl groups, the resultant COFs show high crystallinity, permanent pores, and exceptional stability in harsh environments, such as strong acids (3 M...

Site‐selective oxidation of monolayered liquid‐exfoliated WS2 by shielding the basal plane through adsorption of a facial amphiphile
In recent years, various functionalization strategies for transition metal dichalcogenides have been explored to tailor the materials’ properties and to provide anchor points for the fabrication of hybrid structures. In this report, new insights into the role of the surfactant in functionalization reactions are described. Using the spontaneous reaction of WS 2 with chloroauric acid as a model reaction, the regioselective formation of gold nanoparticles on WS 2 is shown to be heavily dependent...

Host–Guest Complexation of Amphiphilic Molecules at the Air–Water Interface Prevents Oxidation by Hydroxyl Radicals and Singlet Oxygen
A coating with “sleeves” : The compact host–guest complexation of calixarene and oleic acid molecules prevents the oxidation of the complex monolayers at the air–water interface by the action of hydroxyl radicals and singlet oxygen. Abstract The oxidation of antioxidants by oxidizers imposes great challenges to both living organisms and the food industry. Here we show that the host–guest complexation of the carefully designed, positively charged, amphiphilic guanidinocalix[5]arene pentadodecyl...

Controlled Generation of 9‐Boratriptycene by Lewis Adduct Dissociation: Accessing a Non‐Planar Triarylborane
Breaking B–π conjugation : 9‐Boratriptycene is a bent and non‐conjugated triarylborane with an unprecedented geometrical shape, which confers a low reorganization energy and high Lewis acidity power. Abstract A highly bent triarylborane, 9‐boratriptycene, was generated in solution by selective protodeboronation of the corresponding tetra‐aryl boron ate complex with the strong Brønsted acid HNTf2. The iptycene core confers enhanced Lewis acidity to 9‐boratriptycene, making it unique in terms...

Oxidation, Coordination and Nickel‐Mediated Deconstruction of a Highly Electron‐Rich Diboron Analogue of 1,3,5‐Hexatriene
The reductive coupling of a N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐stabilized (dibromo)vinylborane yields a 1,2‐divinyldiborene, which, although isoelectronic to a 1,3,5‐triene, displays no extended π conjugation due to twisting of the C2B2C2 chain. While this divinyldiborene coordinates to copper(I) and platinum(0) in a η2‐B2 and η4‐C2B2 fashion, respectively, it undergoes a complex rearrangement to a η4‐1,3‐diborete upon complexation with nickel(0).

Tunable Bidirectional Electroosmotic Flow for Diffusion‐Based Separations
It's a two‐way street : Using an array of gate electrodes at the base of a microfluidic chamber, electroosmotically driven bidirectional flow, a set of adjacent flow strips with alternating flow direction and tunable velocity magnitude, was created. It is shown that high‐diffusivity species introduced into the flow experience a net‐zero velocity, while lower diffusivity species are continuously advected and thus separated.

Thanks to the molecular‐scale pore size, the modulation is stable at a broad ion concentration range. After decoration with Pt nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier photodiode, the membrane can drive “uphill” ion transport through the application of light.
