​Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) represent a novel class of porous crystalline materials composed of light-weight elements and linked by strong covalent bonds. Featuring structural periodicity and inherent porosity, COFs have found interesting applications in molecular absorption and separation, catalysis, sensing, optoelectronics, energy storage, and other things. However, it should be men...

Metal nanoparticles (MNPs) are critical ingredientfor the fabrication of devices on nanoscale. However, solvent, vacuum or inert atmosphere are usually used for the preparation of MNPs, due to their sensitivity to oxygen in air, which limit their application in large scale.A team led byHexiang Deng in College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences and Gary J. Cheng in theInstitute of Technological...

 Interaction mode and gene transfection efficiency in immune cells were studied by Xiang Zhou’s and Hexiang Deng’s Group in Wuhan University, published on Nature Communications (DOI:10.1038/s41467-018-03650-w).Porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are well-known for their ability to bind and release small gas and organic molecules in a precise manner. However, few studies have exploited this...

​Organic π-conjugated molecules have attracted increasing attention for their potential applications in the fields of organic field-effect transistors (OFET), organic lasers, stimuli-responses and so on. Apart from the electronic nature of molecular structure, the molecular packing also shows large impact on the optoelectronic property, as functional π-conjugated molecules mainly exist in so...
