Chemically modified graphene has been great interest for the application of printed electronics using solution prossesable technique. Here, we demonstrate a large area graphene exfoliation method with fewer defects on the basal plane by application of shear stress in solution to obtain high quality reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Moreover, we introduce a novel route to preparing highly concentrated and conductive RGO in various solvents by monovalent cation-${\pi}$ interaction. Noncovalent binding forces can be induced between a monopole (cation) and a quadrupole (aromatic ${\pi}$ system). The stability of this RGO dispersion was more sensitive to the strength of the cation-${\pi}$ interactions than to the cation-oxygen functional group interactions. The RGO film prepared without a post-annealing process displayed superior electrical conductivity of 97,500 S/m. Our strategy can facilitate the development of large scalable production methods for preparing printed electronics made from high-quality RGO nanosheets.

In this study, we have performed ab initio computer simulations to investigate the conformational and complexation characteristics of the trimethyl ether of p-tert-butylmonodeoxycalix[4]arene (6) with a potassium ion. The structures of different conformers of 6 and their potassium complexes were optimized by using ab initio RHF/6-31G and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) methods. The relative stability of the various conformers of the uncomplexed 6 is in following order: cone (most stable) > 1-partial-cone ~ 2i-partial-cone > 2-partial-cone ~ 1,3-alternate > 3i-partial-cone. However, the relative stability of the conformational complexes of 6 with $K^+$ is in the following order: 2-partial cone ~ 1,3-alternate > cone > 3-partial cone > 1-partial cone (least stable). The highest binding strengths of 2-partial-cone and 1,3-alternate complexes originate from two strong cation-$\pi$ interactions and two strong cation-oxygen interactions in the complex of 6+$K^+$. Due to the cation-$\pi$ interactions, the calculated C-C bond distances in the arenes of the $K^+$-complexes are about 0.0048 $\AA$ longer than the values of their isolated hosts.

Mussel byssus is a bundle of threads used to attach mussels to wet substrates. Recently, a thin cuticle layer on the byssus has attracted public attentions due to its remarkable toughness - stiff as epoxy resin and extensible as rubber. Here, we observed ultrastructure of the cuticle layer in a far eastern mussel (Mytilus coruscus) to understand underlying mechanisms for the mechanical properties. The cuticle layer observed by TEM was composed of submicron-sized granular inclusions in a continuous matrix phase. In addition, ultrastructural study in the presence of tertiary amine (Tetraethylammonium, TEA) showed an evidence that the cuticle is stabilized by cation-${\pi}$ interaction.

Mechanisms underlying the impacts of interactions between carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) and ionic liquids (ILs) on the physicochemical behavior of CNPs need to be more full worked out. This manuscript describes a theoretical investigation at multiple levels on the interactions of fullerene $C_{60}$ with 21 imidazolium-based ILs of varying alkyl side chain lengths and anionic types and their impacts on $C_{60}$ dispersion behavior. Results show that ${\pi}$-cation interaction contributed to mechanism of the $C_{60}$-IL interaction more than ${\pi}$-anion interaction. The calculated interaction energy ($E_{INT}$) indicates that $C_{60}$ can form stable complex with each IL molecule. Moreover, the direction of charge transfer occurred from IL to $C_{60}$ during the $C_{60}$-IL interaction. Quantitative models were developed to evaluate the self-diffusion coefficient of $C_{60}$ ($D_{fullerene}$) in bulk ILs. Three interpretative molecular descriptors (heat of formation, $E_{INT}$, and charge) that describe the $C_{60}$-IL interactions and the alkyl side chain length were found to be determinants affecting $D_{fullerene}$.

The structural and energetic preferences of thiacalix[4]biscrown-5 with and without alkali metal ions ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $Rb^+$, and $Cs^+$) have been theoretically investigated for the first time using molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and density functional theory (MPWB1K/6-31G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d)) methods. The formation of the metal ion complex by the host is mainly driven by the electrostatic attraction between crown-5 oxygens and a cation together with the minor contribution of the cation-$\pi$ interaction between two facing phenyl rings around the cation. The computed binding energies and the atomic charge distribution analysis for the metal binding complexes indicate the selectivity toward a potassium ion. The theoretical results herein explain the experimentally observed extractability order by this host towards various alkali metal ions. The physical nature and the driving forces for cation recognition by this host are discussed in detail.

말단기에 페닐(B), 벤질(Bz), 피리딘(Py), 퀴놀린(Q) 또는 나프탈렌(Np), 그리고 에테르 사슬에 산소(O) 또는 황(S) 주개원자를 갖는 몇 가지 포단드를 합성하여 1가 양이온과의 결합특성을 NMR 적정법과 용매추출법으로 조사하였다. NMR 적정에 의하면 대부분의 포단드는 1가 양이온과 1:1 착물을 형성하며, 특히 은이온과의 상호작용에서 에테르 사슬의 황 원자는 안정도를 증가시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 또한 포단드를 이용하여 에테르 수용액층에서 클로로포름층으로 알칼리 금속, 은, 탈륨 및 암모늄 등의 피크린산 1가 양이온염을 추출하였다. 은이온에 대한 추출률은 $Q_2O_4$, $Q_2O_5$ 및 $BQO_5$와 같이 퀴놀린을 포함하는 포단드의 경우 각각 86.8, 86.6 및 48.0%였으나 나프탈렌을 갖는 $Np_2O_4$ 및 $Np_2O_5$에 의해서는 거의 추출되지 않았다. 한편, $Bz_2O_3S_2$(89.4%), $B_2O_2S_2$(76.8%), $B_2O_3S_2$(58.9%), $Py_2O_2S_2$(58.8%), $Py_2O_3S_2$(42.1%) 및 $B_2O_4S$(15.0%)의 경우, 황 원자와 벤질기를 갖는 $Bz_2O_3S_2$가 가장 큰 은이온 추출 선택성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 HSAB 이론에 의한 황 원자와 은이온과의 강한 상호작용 뿐 아니라 페닐기 대신에 벤질기가 치환됨으로써 유연한 메틸렌기 공간에 의해 두 방향족 말단기 사이의 ${\pi}-{\pi}$ 스택킹 상호작용이 효과적으로 증가하기 때문이다. 추출계수는 안정도 및 추출률과 비슷한 경향성을 나타내었는데, 이로부터 추출계수에 주된 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 포단드의 구조와 밀접한 관계가 있는 안정도임을 알 수 있었다.

The cis-hex-3-ene-1,5-diynyl-bridged diiron compound 3, [(η$^{5}$ - $C_{5}$ M $e_{5}$ ) Fe(dppe)］$_2$($\mu$-C≡C-CH=CH-C≡C), have been prepared and characterized by cyclic voltammetry(CV), and electronic spectroscopy (UV-VIS and near-IR, NMR). From the results, compound 3 show two well resolved, single-electron, reversible oxidation waves by CV, and comproportionation constant(Kc) calculated from the CV data for compound 3. The Mixed-valence (MV) radical cation 3$^{+}$ show strong absorptions in the near IR, 1586 nm, and this band is more readily assigned as MV $\pi$-$\pi$ band of delocalized complex (Robin-Day Mixed-valence Class III), and the $H_{ab}$ , effective coupling parameter are most consistent with electronic delocalization.

낮은 농도와 높은 농도의 염 용액에서 Poly(styrene sulfonic acid)(PSSA) 겔의 팽윤도에 대한 이온 특성화 효과를 ${SO_3}^-$와 페닐 고리의 수소결합을 통하여 조사하였다. 낮은 농도에서 PSSA 수화 겔의 수축 정도는 ${SO_3}^-$와 물 사이의 수소 결합에 대한 음이온의 불안정화 영향 때문에 음이온에서는 $SCN^-$<$Br^-$<$Cl^-$<$F^-$의 순서를 따랐다. 재 팽윤은 계에서 특별한 상호 작용이 있을 때 높은 농도에서 관찰되었다. 반면 양이온에서 PSSA 겔의 수축은 $Li^+$<$Na^+$<$K^+$<$Ca^{+2}$ 순서를 따랐다. $Ca^{+2}$ 이온에서의 큰 수축 효과는 이가 양이온(+2)에 의한 PSSA 겔의 물리적 가교 때문에 나타난 것으로 보인다. 양이온에서의 수축은 ${SO_3}^-$와 양이온 사이의 상호작용 정도에 비례하였다. PSSA의 팽윤에 대한 이온 특성화 효과는 ${SO_3}^-$와 페닐 고리의 수화 수소결합에 대한 이온의 영향 정도, 양이온과 ${\pi}$ 전자의 상호작용, 소수성 상호작용, 그리고 분산력 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 나타난다고 볼 수 있다.
