✦ Synopsis


Nonacene crystals …

… possess a bright metallic sheen and their solution absorption spectra fit well in the series of silylethyne-substituted acenes. As J. E. Anthony et al. report in their Communication on page 7013 ff., crystallographic analysis of functionalized nonacenes confirmed the nine-ringed structure and showed that p-stacked arrangements exist in the solid state. EPR analysis showed that the nonacenes possess radical character, and exposure of nonacene solutions to light caused decomposition to form a red-fluorescent compound.

Saturated lipid molecules may spontaneously form crystalline lipid domains. X-ray diffraction studies performed on artificial lipid vesicles, monolayers, and supported bilayers have provided substantial information on the lipid organization in these domains. In their Minireview on page 3620 ff., R.
