TL;DR: Su et al. as mentioned in this paper found that doping tin selenide with chlorine and lead substantially improved the thermoelectric figure of merit over a wide temperature range, mainly due to an improvement in the material's deformation potential related to mass and strain fluctuations introduced into the n-type material.

TL;DR: By taking the radical cationic state of 1,1′-dialkyl-4,4′-bipyridinium (BIPY•+) as an example, research on the art and science of introducing radical-pairing interactions into functional systems, from prototypical molecular switches to complex molecular machines is highlighted, followed by a discussion of the limitations of the current systems.

TL;DR: A tristable [2]catenane, composed of a macrocyclic polyether incorporating 1,5-dioxynaphthalene (DNP) and tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units along with a 4,4'-bipyridinium (BIPY(•+)) radical cation as three very different potential recognition sites, interlocked mechanically with the tetracationic cyclophane.

TL;DR: An alkali metal cation-dependent approach to gold recovery, facilitated by second-sphere coordination with eco-friendly α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) is reported, which develops an efficient process for green gold recovery.

TL;DR: An artificial biomimetic system which sustains delicate secondary and tertiary structures, reminiscent of those present in nucleic acids and proteins, is reported, which is dominated by intermolecular radical-radical interactions.
