The synthesis of the first mesogenic donor-acceptor polyoxometalate (POM)-based hybrid is herein described. structural and electronic properties compound were evaluated through combination small- wide-angle X-ray scattering, optical microscopy, electrochemistry photoluminescence. In solid state, behaves as a birefringent solid, displaying lamellar organization in which double-layers POMs bis(th...

The study of metal-organic frameworks has largely been motivated by their structural and chemical diversity; however, these materials also possess rich physics, including optical, electronic, and magnetic activity. If these materials are to be employed in devices, it is necessary to develop an understanding of their solid-state behavior. We report an approach to calculate the effect of strain o...

In recent years, morphology control has emerged as an important research topic in many fields such as chemistry, biology, and medicine for the development of highly efficient materials and functional structures of devices based on organic and inorganic materials and their hybrids. Once developed, these techniques will pave the way for a wide range of possibilities such as the creation of highly...

Spherical aberration (C(s)) correction in the transmission electron microscope has enabled sub-angstrom resolution imaging of inorganic materials. To achieve similar resolution for radiation-sensitive organic materials requires the microscope to be operated under hybrid conditions: low electron dose illumination of the specimen at liquid nitrogen temperature and low defocus values. Initial imag...
