TL;DR: It is shown that covalently bound molecular nanostructures can be formed on a gold surface upon thermal activation of porphyrin building blocks and their subsequent chemical reaction at predefined connection points, and it is demonstrated that the topology of these nanostructure can be precisely engineered by controlling the chemical structure of the building blocks.

TL;DR: In this paper, a band inversion between manifolds of surface states is proposed to stabilize topological and symmetry-protected states in solids, by aliovalent substitution of Nb for Zr and Sb for S in the ZrSiS family of nonsymmorphic semimetals.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used crystal chemistry to engineer specific atomic displacements in a layered perovskite, (CaySr1-y)1.15Tb1.85Fe2O7, that change its symmetry and simultaneously generate electrical polarization and magnetization above room temperature.

TL;DR: It is shown that rotation about covalent bonds in a peptide linker can change a flexible MOF to afford nine distinct crystal structures, revealing a conformational energy landscape that is characterized by multiple structural minima.

TL;DR: The bonded and the nonbonded state of the complex were found to be associated with different charge states, and the switching between the two states was accompanied by a considerable change in the tunneling current.
