TL;DR: The first organically synthesized sp-sp3 hybridized porous carbon, OSPC-1, is reported, which exhibits exceptional potential as anode material for lithium-ion batteries with high capacity, excellent rate capability, long cycle life, and potential for improved safety performance.

TL;DR: A series of oligo(phenylene‐ethynylene) wires with one tetrapodal anchor and a phenyl or pyridyl head group designed to bind strongly to gold surfaces without disrupting the conductance pathway of the wires are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper , a non-destructive method for probing the electrical and thermoelectric properties of small assemblies (10−103) of thiol-terminated molecules arranged within a self-assembled monolayers (SAM) on a gold surface is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper , the synthesis of a family of alkanethiol molecules with planar aromatic head groups, designed to anchor molecules effectively to graphene electrodes, is reported, and the results also indicate that the size and geometry of these head groups must be considered in order to produce effective molecular designs.
