Summary: Smart polymers with different responses to induced stimuli have attracted much attention. Polymers with fluorescent properties have potential applications in fluorescence chemosensors, optoelectronics, molecular thermometers, organic light-emitting diodes, molecular imaging, storage data security, drug delivery carriers, and encryption. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is an advanced optical mechanism that can be controlled by the swelling, aggregation, or collapsing of smart polymers, thereby affecting the spatial distance and efficiency. This review article focuses on the application of FRET in smart polymers for imaging and detection, based on the modulation of FRET efficiency by the smart polymer response to various stimuli including temperature, pH, light, solvent, glucose, and mechanical force.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.

Summary: Doped carbon materials, especially F-doped carbon catalysts, have gained significant attention as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions and as corrosion-resistant supports for Pt and non-Pt nanoparticles. F-doped carbon materials possess unique properties and greatly improve the activity and durability of the ORR compared to N-doped carbon materials. The high electronegativity of F-doping can efficiently modify the electronic band structure of carbon materials, favoring the ORR. This review systematically discusses the effect of F-doping/F co-doping on the electrocatalytic reduction of O2 in acidic and alkaline conditions, the stability and durability of fuel cell catalysts, and provides guidelines for working with F-doped carbons. Future research directions on F-doped carbons are also proposed to bridge the gap between laboratory-scale assessments and commercial applications.
