TL;DR: In this paper, a one-pot synthesis of large size and high quality AuAg alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with well controlled compositions via hot organic media is demonstrated, where complexation between trioctylphosphine (TOP) and metal precursors is found, which slows down the rate of nucleation and leads to the growth of large-size AuAg nanoalloys.

TL;DR: A tryptophan analogue is presented that exhibits remarkable water catalysed proton-transfer properties and provides unique fingerprints that can be exploited for direct sensing of a site-specific water environment in a protein without disrupting its native structure.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of novel oxygen-linked N-phenyl carbazole (NPC) dendritic wedges and triphenylamine-centered dendrimers (CBD-G0 to -G2) have been synthesized and extensively studied.

TL;DR: The comparable electron delocalization and solvent relaxation time scale may set up a new paradigm to investigate their specific correlation in the early time domain.

TL;DR: A series of 2-pyridyl-pyrazole derivatives 1-4 possessing five-membered ring hydrogen bonding configuration is synthesized, the structural flexibility of which is strategically tuned to be in the order of 1 > 2 > 3 > 4.
