Molecules bend, properties change! Nanographene transforms through oxidation The collaborative research group led by Ehime University have synthesized a novel pyrrole-fused aza-nanographene that bends into a ladder-shaped structure due to its unique “gulf-edge” regions. The molecule shows remarkable oxidation-dependent electronic behavior: a diradical open-shell dication and a globally aromatic closed-shell tetracation. This finding reveals how molecular curvature and oxidation state govern electronic properties, paving the way for designing redox-active π-conjugated materials and organic molecular switches.

Fly ash and nano-graphene enhanced stabilization of engine oil-contaminated soils Due to urbanization and population growth, the redevelopment of contaminated areas has become popular. Engine oil, used for lubricating various engines, absorbs additional components from wear.…

This study investigates the impact of waste engine oil (EO)-contaminated kaolin on its physical and engineering behavior and shows that stabilization using #FlyAsh and #NanoGraphene improves the geotechnical properties of contaminated soils.
