Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C Issue 3’s online now!

The Issue 3’s of Journal of Material Chemistry A, B and C have been published online. Each journal showcases high impact research you expect from Journal of Materials Chemistry, now in three separate journals. For more information, please go to http://rsc.li/jmc-abc.

Journal of Materials Chemistry C features articles on the following:

Self assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metallic surfaces (gold and graphene) for electronic applications, Aravind Vijayaraghavan et al.: We review advances in the last decade in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) for electronic applications, focusing on gold and graphene surfaces.

A D–A–D swivel-cruciform oligothiophene based on 5,5′-bibenzothiadiazole, Xiaowei Zhan et al.: A multi-dimensional D–A–D oligothiophene, 4,4′,7,7′-tetrakis(hexylbithiophene)–5,5′-bibenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole swivel cruciform (BBT-SC), was synthesized. BBT-SC thin films exhibited a high intrinsic charge carrier mobility of 0.1 cm2 V−1 s−1, measured by a time-resolved microwave conductivity technique.

Low operation voltage macromolecular composite memory assisted by graphene nanoflakes, Yang-Fang Chen et al.: Bistable nonvolatile memory devices using an insulating polymer doped with solution phase of graphene nanoflakes are fabricated through a simple one-step solution-process.

Journal of Materials Chemistry A features articles on the following:

Ca-based synthetic materials with enhanced CO2 capture efficiency, Jose Manuel Valverde, This manuscript reviews the development of novel sorbents to improve the CO2 capture performance of natural limestone at Ca-looping conditions.

Microporous metal–organic frameworks with open metal sites as sorbents for selective gas adsorption and fluorescence sensors for metal ions
, Xian-He Bu et al.: Two cluster-based microporous MOFs exhibit highly selective uptake for CO2 over CH4 and N2 under ambient conditions. 1 also provides an ideal luminescence sensor for selectively probing Ba2+ and Cu2+ ions based on its significant fluorescence enhancement or quenching.

Derivatives of 5-nitro-1,2,3-2H-triazole – high performance energetic materials, Jean’ne M. Shreeve et al.: The derivatives of 5-nitro-1,2,3-2H-triazole are energetic materials, in particular 2-amino-4,5-dinitro-1,2,3-2H-triazole which exhibits good properties (Td,onset, 190 °C; P, 36.2 GPa; vD, 8843 m s−1; IS, 24 J).

Journal of Materials Chemistry B features articles on the following:

Biologically responsive, sustainable release from metallo-drug coordinated 1D nanostructures, Naohiro Kameta, Toshimi Shimizu et al.: A multistep self-assembly process produced nanotubes and nanotapes with a ligand that coordinated an anticancer Pt complex. Nanotubes were superior to nanotapes with respect to sustainable release of the drug.

A water-soluble phosphorescent polymer for time-resolved assay and bioimaging of cysteine/homocysteine, Qiang Zhao, Fuyou Li, Wei Huang et al.: A water-soluble phosphorescent bioprobe was successfully developed by introducing an iridium(III) complex as a phosphorescent signaling unit with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) as the stimuli-responsive backbone.

A graphene oxide platform for the assay of DNA 3′-phosphatases and their inhibitors based on hairpin primer and polymerase elongation, Jianhui Jiang, Ruqin Yu et al.: A label-free sensitive GO sensing platform for DNA 3′-phosphatases and their inhibitors, based on a hairpin primer and polymerase elongation.
