Stacked-ring aromaticity from the viewpoint of the effective number of π-electrons
High-level quantum chemical calculations for closely stacked π-dimers of antiaromatic molecules have revealed that the appearance of the double-triplet [1(T1T1)] character is critical to connecting the stacked-ring aromaticity with Baird's rule.

Tuning the interlayer stacking of a vinylene-linked covalent organic framework for enhancing sacrificial agent-free hydrogen peroxide photoproduction
This work reports an efficient strategy to tailor the stacking mode in 2D vinylene-linked covalent triazine frameworks by regulating the base-catalyst with different alkali-metal ions.
About this collection
In 2018, the Chemical Science Editorial Team launched ‘ChemSci Pick of the Week’ as a means to select and promote our favourite articles from the week and share them with the wider chemical community.
This on-going web collection showcases all ChemSci Picks from 2025, which are highlighted on our journal social media pages via the #ChemSciPicks hashtag.
