Charge transfer, or the movement of electrons, can occur either within a molecule or between two molecules. Combining the two types of charge transfer is challenging. Now, scientists have developed a ...

Imagine a crystal that changes color just by coming into contact with a pollutant, almost instantly revealing its presence. Scientists at Japan’s Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT) have developed ...

A donor-acceptor pyrazinacene derivative with triphenylamine substituents selectively detects naphthalene via π-hole⋅⋅⋅π interactions, inducing a striking, reversible color change from greenish-blue ...

Transfer of charge is a process in which electrons move within a molecule or between two molecules. It is a crucial chemical process that can be applied to a wide range of technologies. Intramolecular ...
