Abstract

Helical bilayer nanographenes (HBNGs) possess a unique structure and versatile properties, which are of great interest in experimental and theoretical research. This study applied an external electric field to regulate the electronic properties of the HBNG with a helicene moiety length of [9] ([9]HBNG). The direction of the external electric field (Fz) is the positive z-axis along the nanographenes. Intriguingly, the interplanar angle of [9]HBNG is regulated under the Fz. Furthermore, molecular electrostatic potential (ESP) maps demonstrate that the Fz regulates charge distribution effectively. Notably, when Fz = 100 × 10−4 a.u., the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is primarily located on the lower nanographene, while the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is concentrated on the upper nanographene. Remarkably, the Fz induces a substantial increase in the βtot values, ranging from 6.53 × 102 (Fz = 0 a.u.) to 1.26 × 104 a.u. (Fz = 100 × 10−4 a.u.). This study presents an efficient approach for developing high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials through the application of external electric fields, with potential applications in NLO switch devices.

Abstract

The helical structure is a classical framework to design high-performance organic electro-optical materials. In this work, the structure-property's relationships of helical tetraspirobenzene (1) and its oxidation (12+) and reduction (12–) products are explored. The results show that the redox brings some distinctive changes in their geometric structure and electronic property, which regulate the first hyperpolarisability (βtot). Among these structures, the 12– has the largest βtot value of 4.2 × 104, which is greatly larger than 2.0 × 102 a.u. of. 12+. Therefore, the reduction effect is more obvious than the oxidation effect. Furthermore, the UV-Vis absorption spectrum also proves this phenomenon: the oxidation product has a new red-shifted absorption peak (571 nm) and the reduction product has two new red-shifted absorption peaks (577 and 797 nm). We hope the present work can provide theoretical guidance for the search for high-performance nonlinear optical materials by using the redox effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the current study, the pathophysiological mechanisms of endometriosis are unknown, but this study suggests that endometriosis is associated with dysregulation of the autoimmune system. This study identify hub genes involved in the prevalence, identification and diagnostic value of endometriosis and autoimmune diseases, and explore the central genes and immune infiltrates, the diagnosis of endometriosis provides a new sight of thinking about diagnosis and treatment.Methods and Results: The relevant datasets for endometriosis GSE141549, GSE7305 and autoimmune disease-related genes (AIDGs) were downloaded from online database. Using the “limma” package and WGCNA to screen out the autoimmune disease related genes and endometriosis related genes, the autoimmune disease gene-related differential genes (AID-DEGs) progressive GO, KEGG enrichment analysis, and then using the protein interaction network and Cytoscape software to select hub genes (CXCL12, PECAM1, NGF, CTGF, WNT5A), using the “pROC” package to analyze the hub genes for the diagnostic value of endometriosis. The difference in the importance of hub genes for the diagnosis of endometriosis was analyzed by machine learning random forest, and the combined diagnostic value of hub genes was analyzed by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. The eutopic (EU) and ectopic endometrium (EC) immune microenvironment of endometriosis was evaluated using CIBERSORT, the correlation of hub genes to the immune microenvironment was analyzed.Conclusion: The hub genes associated with AIDGs are differentially expressed in EC and EU of endometriosis and possess important value for the diagnosis of endometriosis. The hub genes have a very important impact on the immune microenvironment of endometriosis, which is important for exploring the connection between endometriosis and autoimmune diseases and provides a new insight for the subsequent study of immunotherapy and diagnosis of endometriosis.Keywords: EMT, hub genes, diagnosis, immunotherapy, immune microenvironment

Abstract

A series of triangular nanorings, denoted BnN3–n-CPLY3 (n = 0, 1, 2, and 3), are designed by incorporating boron-/nitrogen-doped phenalenyl (B/N-PLY) units into cycloparaphenylene. These nanorings exhibit appropriate cavity size and shape complementarity to encapsulate fullerene (C60), resulting in the formation of supramolecular complexes termed BnN3–n-CPLY3@C60 (n = 0, 1, 2, 3). The geometric and electronic structures of nanorings and supramolecular complexes are investigated by density functional theory. Importantly, the self-assembly strategy effectively enhances the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the supramolecular complexes. The findings demonstrate that the first hyperpolarizabilities of BnN3–n-CPLY3@C60 (n = 0, 1, 2) are higher compared to that of B3-CPLY3@C60, which is attributed to the intra- and intermolecular charge transfer (CT) regulated by adjusting the amount of the B/N-PLY unit. By absorption spectrum analysis, the absorption peaks of BnN3–n-CPLY3@C60 (n = 0, 1, 2) are attributed to the host–guest interaction between BnN3–n-CPLY3 and C60. Furthermore, CT spectroscopy, main electron transition, and CT properties are studied to gain insights into the optical properties of BnN3–n-CPLY3@C60. This work not only emphasizes the importance of the B/N-PLY unit in supramolecular complexes to improve NLO properties but also shows that the BnN3–n-CPLY3@C60 complexes are important materials for optoelectronic applications.
