Weak interactions, like London dispersion forces, are cumulative in nature and have been thought to be essential for only the structure and stability of large molecular systems. Only recently has thei...

Molecular solar thermal storage (MOST) systems have recently regained great interest after a period of intense research around five decades ago. This perspective clarifies the nomenclature, and intro...

A domino inverse electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction/thermal ring expansion sequence was developed to enable the one-step synthesis of arene-annulated eight-membered nitrogen heterocycles from readil...

The length of the linker connecting a photoswitch to a material significantly influences the latter’s properties, with “zero-length” linkers being ideal for optimal photomodulation. The 1,2,3-triazole...

Azobenzenes are promising materials for energy storage due to their reversible photoisomerization and redox properties. Given the critical role of redox behavior in the latter application, an investigation of their redox processes is essential. We propose a classification of azobenzenes into two categories: benzenoid-type and quinoid-type, based on the mechanism of their oxidation. Benzenoid-type compounds have been extensively studied due to their reversible reduction. Quinoid-type compounds exhibit oxidative and reductive versatility, making them promising for further research in energy storage.
