    Abstract Pyriporphyrinoids have recently attracted a significant proliferation of attention due to their versatile characters, which stem from structural motifs in which the pyridine moiety is involved. The evolution of pyriporphyrin chemistry revealed the subtle modifications of the macrocyclic core that tweak the electronic structure as compared to the parental macrocycle. The amendment of π-electronic organization inside the core manifests exceptional photophysical and coordination properties that cover a vast range of seemingly contradictory fields. In fundamental chemistry, the pyridine unit acts as a modulator of π-conjugated porphyrinoid systems, resulting in aromaticity swapping. From the applied chemistry perspective, these macrocycles are primarily utilized as (i) sensors, (ii) NIR absorbing photoacoustic dyes, (iii) electrochemical catalysts, (iv) singlet biradicaloid generation and (v) contributors to generate metal complexes with intriguing binding modes. Surprisingly, despite their prominence, pyriporphyrinoids are inadequately investigated, while pyridine unit-embedded calixphyrin, calixpyridinopyrrole and calixpyridine are barely reported. This review article illustrates the controlled formation of specific porphyrinic scaffolds with pyridine unit(s) and diverse functionalized heterocyclic and/or carbocyclic building block(s), and demonstrates a substantial influence on the macrocyclic properties.

    Abstract Water vapor increases the electrical conductivity of silk cocoons, human hair, jute, and corn silk. This phenomenon is unclear. In the present study, XPS analysis of cocoons showed that water vapor reduces the surface presence of low-energy carbon species (C-C, C-H). In contrast, electron-dense, high-energy carbon species (C-N, C=C, C=O) remained unchanged, possibly enhancing surface charge hopping. While water vapor improves the conduction, the deficiency of charge carrier diminishes the effect. We increase the charge carrier by soaking the cocoon in an aqueous solution of common salt (NaCl) to amplify the current. Salt treatment followed by 2-min exposure to water vapor results in a sharp upward spike in the current (3.6 ± 1.07 mA, n = 12; mean ± SE) from the baseline (0.06 ± 0.02 mA, n = 12). After 1 h, it maintains an average value of 0.39 ± 0.12 mA; n = 12, indicating an upward shift in the baseline. Every time the cocoon charges with water vapor, the next charging cycle initiates after the cocoon dries up. Inspired by the cocoon ecology, we demonstrate an alternating 'water vapor-dry air' cycle for rapid charging and discharging of the cocoon battery. Finally, we designed a prototype of a self-lighting kettle and water-vapor panels for futuristic homes using a 'brine-silk cocoon protein bio-battery,' where moist waste heat generates electricity.

    Abstract Recent experiments have uncovered a distinctive magnetic metal in lightly-doped multilayer graphene, coined the \textit{quarter metal}. This quarter metal consolidates all the doped carriers, originally distributed evenly across the four (or twelve) Fermi surfaces of the paramagnetic state, into one expansive Fermi surface by breaking time-reversal and/or inversion symmetry. In this work, we map out a comprehensive mean-field phase diagram of the quarter-metal in rhombohedral trilayer graphene within the four dimensional parameter space spanned by the density $n_e$, interlayer electric potential $U$, external magnetic field parallel to the two-dimensional material plane $B_{\parallel}$ and Kane-Mele spin-orbit coupling $\lambda$. We found an annular Lifshitz phase transition and a Ising-XY phase transition and locate these phase boundaries on the experimental phase diagram. The movement of the Ising-XY phase boundary offers insights into $\lambda$. Our analysis reveals that it moves along the line $\partial n_e/\partial B_{\parallel} \sim -0.5\times 10^{11} \text{cm}^{-2}\text{T}^{-1}$ within the $n_e$-$B_{\parallel}$ parameter space when $\lambda=30\mu$eV. Additionally, we estimated the in-plane spin susceptibility of the valley-Ising quarter-metal $\chi_{_\parallel}\sim 8~\mu\text{eV} ~\text{T}^{-2}$. Beyond these quantitative findings, two general principles emerge from our study: 1) The valley-XY quarter metal's dominance in the $n_e-U$ parameter space grows with an increasing number of layers due to the reduce valley polarization variations within the Fermi sea. 2) Layer polarization near the band edge plays an important role in aiding the re-entrance of the paramagnetic state at low density. The insights derived from the quarter metal physics may shed light on the complex behaviors observed in other regions of the phase diagram.

    Abstract A diradical/biradical character of organic derivatives is one of the key aspects of contemporary research focusing on the fundamental studies followed by potential applicability relying on the unique optical, electronic, or magnetic properties assigned to unpaired electrons. A precise involvement of two p-phenylenes into a cyclophane-like conjugated, diatropic system creates a flexible molecule with the two different characters of both subunits (benzene and quinone) imprinting into the structure a Kekulé delocalized system. A dynamic of both carbocyclic subunits, and their mutual interaction generates a singlet open-shell state (J=-1.25 kcal/mol) as documented spectroscopically (NMR and EPR). The extended theoretical analysis has proved a correlation between dihedral angle and the diradicaloid character that shifts from a closed-shell singlet to an open-shell state, eventually showing the y

    Abstract Due to enthralling applications in various fields and augmenting fundamental wisdom, π-conjugated macrocycles in general and porphyrin systems in particular are constantly explored. Subtle modifications of porphyrin structure can amend the rudimentary properties. Pursuing innovative properties provides impetus to underpin arene or pyridine moiety embedded porphyrin derivatives. There have been several reviews related to arene incorporated carbaporphyrinoids; however, recent developments of porphyrin analogues by introducing higher analogues of arenes and pyridine units are not adequately inspected. This mini-review mainly focuses on biphenyl, bipyridine, terphenyl, and mixed arene pyridine embedded porphyrin analogues and their coordination chemistry.

    Abstract The synthesis of solar-light-responsive zinc telluride (ZnTe) nanoparticles and their composite with reduced graphene oxide (rGO-ZnTe) via a simple hydrothermal reaction is reported. The synthesized nanostructures were comprehensively characterized by a combination of X-ray diffraction and photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The effects of graphene oxide on the crystallinity, microstructure, photo-excitation, light absorption, surface area and thermal stability of ZnTe were studied. The current-voltage (

    Abstract Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare condition usually referred to as a group of genetic disorders resulting due to a deficiency of steroid enzymes required by adrenal glands to produce cortisol and mineralocorticoid hormones. It has an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance and is further categorized into two types-Classic and Non-Classic. Non-Classic CAH is a more common milder form that presents late after puberty. Classic CAH, although more severe, is rare and detected at birth and is associated with the life-threatening adrenal crisis in both sexes and virilization of the external genitalia in females (46, XX) patients, whereas in males, no overt abnormality of the external genitalia is present. We present a case of a four-month-old male child with the classic form of CAH who was brought with complaints of loose stools, projectile non bilious vomiting, decreased urine output, and failure to feed for 3 days. The child had a clinical presentation of salt wasting with hypoglycemia and hyperpigmentation of his genitalia. The USG findings revealed increased anteroposterior diameter of renal pelvis indicative of a growth in the suprarenal area. 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) was found to be elevated confirming the diagnosis. He was treated with hydrocortisone with gradual improvement in his glucose and electrolytes. The patient was discharged home on replacement therapy consisting of oral prednisolone and fludrocortisone acetate and followed up as outpatient with significant improvement in the clinical findings. The fact that the child was not screened for CAH at birth led to the critical consequences of the disease in this case. To prevent life-threatening adrenal crisis and help perform appropriate sex assignments for affected female patients, newborn screening (NBS) programs for the classical form of CAH should be made mandatory even in low- and middle-income countries.
