Graphical Abstract

An anthracene-based molecular crystal with a unique "slipped herringbone" packing motif was developed by crystal engineering through terminal tert-butylation. Appropriate exciton–exciton coupling/electron–phonon coupling originating from the unique crystal packing induces a remarkably strong solid-state emission and efficient charge transport, as reported by Wenping Hu et al. in their Research Article (e202206825).

Nanostructures

In their Research Article (e202212251), Di Qiu, Yaping Du et al. report an efficient growth process for ultrathin nanowires based on adding polyoxometalate clusters to the monomers. Fifteen types of rare earth oxide ultrathin nanowires were synthesized.

DNA Nanotechnology

An orthogonally controlled catalytic DNA circuit has been realized by Fuan Wang et al. in their Research Article (e202206529) through multiple molecular recognition events and progressively accelerated signal amplification.
