Abstract
The cooling power of a radiative cooler is more than halved in the tropics, e.g., Singapore, because of its harsh weather conditions including high humidity (84% on average), strong downward atmospheric radiation (∼40% higher than elsewhere), abundant rainfall, and intense solar radiation (up to 1200 W/m2 with ∼58% higher UV irradiation). So far, there has been no report of daytime radiative cooling that well achieves effective subambient cooling. Herein, through integrated passive cooling strategies in a hydrogel with desirable optofluidic properties, we demonstrate stable subambient (4-8 °C) cooling even under the strongest solar radiation in Singapore. The integrated passive cooler achieves an ultrahigh cooling power of ∼350 W/m2, 6-10 times higher than a radiative cooler in a tropical climate. An in situ study of radiative cooling with various hydration levels and ambient humidity is conducted to understand the interaction between radiation and evaporative cooling. This work provides insights for the design of an integrated cooler for various climates.

Abstract
Understanding how proteins work requires a thorough understanding of their internal dynamics. Proteins support a wide range of motions, from the femtoseconds to seconds time scale, relevant to crucial biological functions. In this context, the term "protein collective dynamics" refers to the complex patterns of coordinated motions of numerous atoms throughout the protein in the sub-picosecond time scale (terahertz frequency region). It is hypothesized that these dynamics have a substantial impact on the regulation of functional dynamical mechanisms, including ligand binding and allosteric signalling, charge transport direction, and the regulation of thermodynamic and thermal transport properties. Using the theoretical framework of hydrodynamics, the collective dynamics of proteins had previously been described in a manner akin to that of simple liquids, i.e. in terms of a single acoustic-like excitation, related to intra-protein vibrational motions. Here, we employ an interacting-mode model to analyse the results from molecular dynamics simulations and we unveil that the vibrational landscape of proteins is populated by multiple acoustic-like and low-frequency optic-like modes, with mixed symmetry and interfering with each other. We propose an interpretation at the molecular level of the observed scenario that we relate to the side-chains and the hydrogen-bonded networks dynamics. The present insights provide a perspective for understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the energy redistribution processes in the interior of proteins.

Abstract
Non-invasive imaging of morphological changes in biologically relevant lipidic mesophases is essential for the understanding of membrane-mediated processes. However, its methodological aspects need to be further explored, with particular attention paid to the design of new excellent fluorescent probes. Here, we have demonstrated that bright and biocompatible folic acid-derived carbon nanodots (FA CNDs) may be successfully applied as fluorescent markers in one- and two-photon imaging of bioinspired myelin figures (MFs). Structural and optical properties of these new FA CNDs were first extensively characterized; they revealed remarkable fluorescence performance in linear and non-linear excitation regimes, justifying further applications. Then, confocal fluorescence microscopy and two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy were used to investigate a three-dimensional distribution of FA CNDs within the phospholipid-based MFs. Our results showed that FA CNDs are effective markers for imaging various forms and parts of multilamellar microstructures.

Abstract
The far infrared (FIR) and Raman fingerprints of the halogen bond in two representative 1D halogen bonded networks based on the recognition of TFIB, tetrafluorodiiodobenzene, with piperazine or azopyridine, have been accurately identified. It was demonstrated that the signature of the halogen bonding in the solid state, especially the N⋯I signal can be simply and directly evidenced in the far infrared region. The DFT theoretical calculations identified the N⋯I interaction in the molecular crystals and allowed estimation of the corresponding energies and distances of the involved halogen bonds, in accordance with the cristallographic data.

Abstract
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are a promising class of porous crystalline materials for gas sorption and gas separation technologies that can be constructed under mild synthetic conditions. In forming three-dimensional networks of flexible hydrogen bonds between donor/acceptor subunits, these materials have displayed high stability at elevated temperature and under vacuum. Although the structural properties of HOFs are commonly characterized by diffraction techniques, new complimentary methods to elucidate phase behaviour and host-guest interactions at the molecular level are sought, particularly those that can be applied under changing physical conditions or solvent environment. To this end, this study has applied synchrotron far-IR and mid-IR spectroscopy to probe the properties of two known and one new HOF system assembled from tetrahedral amidinium and carboxylate building blocks. All three frameworks produce feature-rich and resolved infrared profiles from 30 to 4000 cm-1 that provide information on hydrogen-bonded water solvent networks and the HOF channel topography via lattice and torsional bands. Comparison of experimental peaks to frequencies and atomic displacements (eigenvectors) predicted by high-level periodic DFT calculations have allowed for the assignment of vibrational modes associated with the aforementioned physicochemical properties. Now compiled, the specific vibrational modes identified as common to charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding motifs, as well as low frequency lattice and torsional bands attributed to HOF pore morphology and water-of-hydration networks, can act as diagnostic features in future spectroscopic investigations of HOF properties, such as those toward the design and tuning of host-guest properties for targeted applications.

Abstract
Applications of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the fields of chemistry and biomedicine have recently received increased attention. Specifically, THz-TDS is particularly effective for the identification of alkaloid molecules, because it can distinguish the vibration types of base molecules in the THz band and provide a direct characteristic spectrum for the configuration and conformation of biomolecules. However, when THz-TDS technology is used to identify alkaloid molecules, most of them are concentrated in the 0.1-3.0 THz band, limiting the amount of information that can be obtained. In this work, a wide-spectrum THz-TDS system was independently built to explore the absorption spectra of uracil and its 5-substituents in the range of 1.3-6.0 THz. We found that, in the THz band, uracil and its 5-substituents have similar absorption peaks near 4.9 and 3.3 THz, while the 5-substituents have an additional absorption peak in the range of 1.5-2.5 THz. This absorption peak is red-shifted as the relative atomic mass of the 5-substituted atoms increases. Gaussian software was adopted to calculate the absorption spectra of the samples. The simulation conclusions were in good agreement with the experimental results, revealing that the vibration of the base molecule at low frequencies can be attributed to the inter-molecular vibration. This work demonstrates that THz-TDS technology can be used to accurately identify biomolecules with similar molecular structures, reflecting the importance of molecular structure in biological activity.

Abstract
This experimental work applied coherent synchrotron-radiation terahertz spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering to address two processes directly associated with the mode of action of metal-based anticancer agents that can severely undermine chemotherapeutic treatment: drug binding to human serum albumin, occurring during intravenous drug transport, and intracellular coordination to thiol-containing biomolecules (such as metallothioneins) associated with acquired drug resistance. Cisplatin and two dinuclear platinum (Pt)- and palladium (Pd)-polyamine agents developed by this research group, which have yielded promising results toward some types of human cancers, were investigated. Complementary synchrotron-radiation-terahertz and inelastic neutron scattering data revealed protein metalation, through S- and N-donor ligands from cysteine, methionine, and histidine residues. A clear impact of the Pt and Pd agents was evidenced, drug binding to albumin and metallothionein having been responsible for significant changes in the overall protein conformation, as well as for an increased flexibility and possible aggregation.

Abstract
Ultrafast intramolecular proton transfers of 1,2-dihydroxyanthraquinone (alizarin-h2) and its deuterated product (alizarin-d2) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been investigated by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy. The population dynamics in the solute vibrational mode of νC=O and the coherent oscillations observed in all of the skeletal vibrational modes νC=O and νC=C clearly showed the ultrafast excited-state intramolecular proton transfer dynamics of 110 and 170 fs for alizarin-h2 and alizarin-d2, respectively. Interestingly, we have observed that the solvent vibrational modes νS=O and νCSC may also represent ultrafast structural dynamics at the frequencies for its "free" or "aggregated" species. From the kinetic analysis of the νS=O and νCSC modes of DMSO, the ultrafast changes in the solvation or intermolecular interactions between DMSO molecules initiated by the structural changes of solute molecules have been thoroughly investigated. We propose that the solvent vibrational modes νS=O and νCSC of DMSO can be used as a "sensor" for ultrafast chemical reactions accompanying the structural changes and subsequent solute-solvent interactions.

Abstract
The conception of this theoretical research was idealized aiming to unveil the intermolecular structures of complexes formed by acetylene or ethylene and hydrofluoric acid. At light of computational calculations by using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method, the geometries of the C2H2⋯(HF), C2H2⋯2(HF), C2H2⋯4(HF), C2H4⋯(HF), C2H4⋯2(HF) and C2H4⋯4(HF) hydrogen-bonded complexes were fully optimized. Moreover, the Post-Hartree-Fock calculations MP2/6-311++G(d,p), MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ, MP4(SDQ)/6-311++G(d,p) and CCSD/6-311++G(d,p) also were also used. The infrared spectra were analyzed in order to identify the new vibrational modes and frequencies of the proton donors shifted to red region. Through the modeling of charge-fluxes on the basis of the Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) and, by contradicting the expectation of the hydrofluorination mechanisms of acetylene or ethylene, C⋯HF was recognized as a new type of hydrogen bond instead of the already well known π⋯H. The calculations of the Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) and Charges derived from the Electrostatic Potential Grid-based (ChElPG) were also applied to interpret the shifting frequencies as well as measuring of the punctual charge-transfer after the formation of the complexes. Finally, the determination of the stabilization energy was carried out through the arguments of the Fock matrix in NBO basis and through the supermolecule approach. Also it is worthwhile to notice that some algebraic formulations were used for determining the electronic cooperative effect (CE).

Abstract
The thermal behaviour of an H-bonded molecular network A based on [FeII (CN)6 ]4- anions and organic bisamidium cations 12+ was investigated. Heating was found to induce the partial oxidation of [FeII (CN)6 ]4- into [FeIII (CN)6 ]3- , together with a thermochromic effect and also a loss of crystallinity was evidenced from mid and far FT-IR spectroscopic data, XRPD and DSC/TGA analysis. Rehydration also partially reversed the redox reaction and its colour, and after that, a mixture of A with an amorphous phases was observed. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that the oxidation of Fe(II) was accompanied by a deprotonation of the cation.
