Abstract
We recently introduced the particle-breaking restricted Hartree-Fock (PBRHF) model, a mean-field approach to address the fractional charging of molecules when they interact with an electronic environment. In this paper, we present an extension of the model referred to as particle-breaking unrestricted Hartree-Fock (PBUHF). The unrestricted formulation contains odd-electron states necessary for a realistic description of fractional charging. Within the PBUHF parametrization, we use two-body operators as they yield convenient operator transformations. However, two-body operators can change only the particle number by two. Therefore, we include noninteracting zero-energy bath orbitals to generate a linear combination of even and odd electron states. Depending on whether the occupied or virtual orbitals of a molecule interact with the environment, the average number of electrons is either decreased or increased. Without interaction, PBUHF reduces to the unrestricted Hartree-Fock wave function.

Abstract
α-RuCl3, a promising material to accomplish the Kitaev honeycomb model, has attracted enormous interest recently. Mottness and p-d bonds play vital roles in generating Kitaev interactions and underpinning the potential exotic states of quantum magnets, and the van der Waals monolayer is considered to be a better platform to approach a two-dimensional Kitaev model than the bulk. Here, we worked out the growth art of an α-RuCl3 monolayer on a graphite substrate and studied its electronic structure, particularly the delicate orbital occupations, through scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. An in-plane lattice expansion of 2.67 ± 0.83% is observed and the pronounced t2g-pπ and eg-pσ hybridization are visualized. The Mott nature is unveiled by an ∼0.6 eV full gap at the Fermi level located inside the t2g-pπ manifold which is further verified by the density functional theory calculations. The monolayer phase of α-RuCl3 fulfills the a priori criteria of recent theoretical predictions of tuning the relevant properties in this material and provides a novel platform to explore the Kitaev physics.

Abstract
Self-assembly of cyclohexyl cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbenes (cyCAAC) can be realized and reversibly switched from a close-packed trimer phase to a chainlike dimer phase, enabled by the ring-flip of the cyclohexyl wingtip. Multiple methods including scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations identified a distinct isomer (axial or equatorial chair conformer) in each phase, and consequently support the conclusion regarding the determination of molecular surface geometry on the self-assembly of cyCAAC. Moreover, various substrates such as Ag (111) and Cu (111) are tested to elucidate the importance of cyCAAC-surface interactions on cyCAAC based nanopatterns. These investigations of patterned surfaces prompted a deep understanding of cyCAAC binding mode, surface geometry and reversible self-assembly, which are of paramount significance in the areas of catalysis, biosensor design and surface functionalization.

Abstract
Activation of O2 is a critical step in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation. Here, the concept of increased electron donors induced by nitrogen vacancy is adopted to propose an efficient strategy to develop highly active and stable catalysts for molecular O2 activation. Carbon nitride with nitrogen vacancies is prepared to serve as a support as well as electron sink to construct a synergistic catalyst with Pt nanoparticles. Extensive characterizations combined with the first-principles calculations reveal that nitrogen vacancies with excess electrons could effectively stabilize metallic Pt nanoparticles by strong p-d coupling. The Pt atoms and the dangling carbon atoms surround the vacancy can synergistically donate electrons to the antibonding orbital of the adsorbed O2. This synergistic catalyst shows great enhancement of catalytic performance and durability in toluene oxidation. The introduction of electron-rich non-oxide substrate is an innovative strategy to develop active Pt-based oxidation catalysts, which could be conceivably extended to a variety of metal-based catalysts for catalytic oxidation. Activation of O2 is a critical step in heterogeneous catalytic oxidation. Here, the authors adopt the concept of increased electron donors induced by nitrogen vacancy to develop an efficient strategy for preparing highly active and stable catalysts for molecular O2 activation.

Abstract
The magnetic properties and ozone (O3) gas-sensing activity of zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) were discussed by the combination of the results acquired by experimental procedures and density functional theory simulations. The ZnFe2O4 NPs were synthesized via the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method by varying the reaction time in order to obtain ZnFe2O4 NPs with different exposed surfaces and evaluate the influence on its properties. Regardless of the reaction time employed in the synthesis, the zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization measurements showed superparamagnetic ZnFe2O4 NPs with an average blocking temperature of 12 K. The (100), (110), (111), and (311) surfaces were computationally modeled, displaying the different undercoordinated surfaces. The good sensing activity of ZnFe2O4 NPs was discussed in relation to the presence of the (110) surface, which exhibited low (-0.69 eV) adsorption enthalpy, promoting reversibility and preventing the saturation of the sensor surface. Finally, the O3 gas-sensing mechanism could be explained based on the conduction changes of the ZnFe2O4 surface and the increase in the height of the electron-depletion layer upon exposure toward the target gas. The results obtained allowed us to propose a mechanism for understanding the relationship between the morphological changes and the magnetic and O3 gas-sensing properties of ZnFe2O4 NPs.

Abstract
In this work, a novel multichromic cationic coordination polymer, named [Zn4(BTC)3(bcbpy)2]·5H2O (1), based on a new flexible viologen ligand 1,1'-bis(3-cyanobenzyl)-[4,4'-bipyridine]-1,1'-diium (H2bcbpy·2Cl), Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and pyromellitic acid (H4BTC) was synthesized. Compound 1 has good photosensitive activity and can respond to sunlight at room temperature. The colour of compound 1 changes rapidly in response to UV light and blue ray irradiation within 5 s. We rarely obtained the crystal structures after irradiation under UV light and blue ray. At the same time, compound 1 shows the hydrochromism phenomenon when heated at 120 °C, and it also shows the ability of detecting aniline and NO2- under low-concentration conditions (10-4 M).

Abstract
A molecular rotor based on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) has been rationally designed following theoretical predictions, experimentally realized, and characterized. Utilizing the structural tunability of NHCs, a computational screening protocol was first applied to identify NHCs with asymmetric rotational potentials on a surface as a prerequisite for unidirectional molecular rotors. Suitable candidates were then synthesized and studied using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), analytical theoretical models, and molecular dynamics simulations. For our best NHC rotor featuring a mesityl N substituent on one side and a chiral naphthylethyl substituent on the other, unidirectional rotation is driven by inelastic tunneling of electrons from the NHC to the STM tip. While electrons preferentially tunnel through the mesityl N substituent, the chiral naphthylethyl substituent controls the directionality. Such NHC-based surface rotors open up new possibilities for the design and construction of functionalized molecular systems with high catalytic applicability and superior stability compared with other classes of molecular rotors.

Abstract
Plasmonics is a rapidly growing field spanning research and applications across chemistry, physics, optics, energy harvesting, and medicine. Ultrafast photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) has demonstrated unprecedented power in the characterization of surface plasmons and other electronic excitations, as it uniquely combines the requisite spatial and temporal resolution, making it ideally suited for 3D space and time coherent imaging of the dynamical plasmonic phenomena on the nanofemto scale. The ability to visualize plasmonic fields evolving at the local speed of light on subwavelength scale with optical phase resolution illuminates old phenomena and opens new directions for growth of plasmonics research. In this review, we guide the reader thorough experimental description of PEEM as a characterization tool for both surface plasmon polaritons and localized plasmons and summarize the exciting progress it has opened by the ultrafast imaging of plasmonic phenomena on the nanofemto scale.

Abstract
A series of Pt(II) complexes with tetradentate luminophores has been designed, synthesized, and deposited on coinage metal surfaces with the aim to produce highly planar self‐assembled monolayers. Low‐temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a significant initial nonplanarity for all complexes. A subsequent metal‐catalyzed separation of the nonplanar moiety at the bridging unit via the scission of a C−N bond is observed, leaving behind a largely planar core complex. The activation barrier of this bond scission process is found to depend strongly on the chemical nature of both bridging group and coordination plane, and to increase from Cu(111) through Ag(111) to Au(111).
