Progress in Molecular Nanoarchitectonics and Materials Nanoarchitectonics

Although various synthetic methodologies including organic synthesis, polymer chemistry, and materials science are the main contributors to the production of functional materials, the importance of regulation of nanoscale structures for better performance has become clear with recent science and technology developments. Therefore, a new research paradigm to produce functional material systems from nanoscale units has to be created as an advancement of nanoscale science. This task is assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics, which aims to produce functional materials and functional structures from nanoscale unit components. This can be done through combining nanotechnology with the other research fields such as organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and bio-related science. In this review article, the basic-level of nanoarchitectonics is first presented with atom/molecular-level structure formations and conversions from molecular units to functional materials.

An investigation into the effect of lateral fluoro substitution in the molecular core on the spontaneous polarization of chiral cyclohexanes

A range of chiral biphenylcyclohexanes of high enantiomeric excess has been prepared by asymmetric synthesis. These materials were designed as chiral dopants for ferroelectric mixtures based on fluoro-substituted host materials. Accordingly, fluoro substituents were strategically incorporated into the aromatic core of the chiral biphenylcyclohexanes in order to determine their effect on the spontaneous polarization of the ferroelectric mixtures. Chiral hydroboration was used to generate the chiral cyclohexane units which were attached to the core by using palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions with arylboronic acids; the synthetic methods used are discussed. The spontaneous polarization of the chiral materials was evaluated in H1 host mixture and the results are reported and discussed in comparison with the non-fluoro-substituted analogues.     

Once more on the account of chemical composition analysis, traceability and calibration in chemical analysis (in response to the discussion opened by Werner Hässelbarth [1, 2])

This paper considers the present-day approach to traceability of measurements in chemical analysis. Specific features of concentration as a physical quantity are discussed. It is shown that the traceability of concentration measurements is the main task of metrology applications in quantitative analysis.

The differences in the requirements for the composition measurements of standard samples and of reference materials are discussed by analysing the role played by these materials in calibration processes and accuracy checks.
