The search for durable dyes led several past civilizations to develop artificial pigments. Maya Blue (MB), manufactured in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, is one of the best known examples of an organic-inorganic hybrid material. Its durability is due to the unique association of indigo molecule and palygorskite, a particular fibrous clay occurring in Yucatan. Despite 50 years of sustained interest, the microscopic structure of MB and its relation to the durability remain open questions. Combining new thermogravimetric and synchrotron X-ray diffraction analyses, we show that indigo molecules can diffuse into the channel of the palygorskite during the heating process, replacing zeolitic water and stabilizing the room temperature phases of the clay.

The adsorption and diffusion of F2 molecules on pristine graphene have been studied using first-principles calculations. For the diffusion of F2 from molecular state in gas phase to the dissociative adsorption state on graphene surface, a kinetic bar
rier is identified, which explains the inertness of graphene in molecular F2 at room temperature, and its reactivity with F2 at higher temperatures. Studies on the diffusion of F2 molecules on graphene surface determine the energy barriers along the optimal diffusion pathways, which help to understand the high stability of fluorographene.
A microscopic model of the effect of unbinding in diffusion limited aggregation based on a cellular automata approach is presented. The geometry resembles electrochemical deposition - ``ions diffuse at random from the top of a container until encount
ering a cluster in contact with the bottom, to which they stick. The model exhibits dendritic (fractal) growth in the diffusion limited case. The addition of a field eliminates the fractal nature but the density remains low. The addition of molecules which unbind atoms from the aggregate transforms the deposit to a 100% dense one (in 3D). The molecules are remarkably adept at avoiding being trapped. This mimics the effect of so-called ``leveller molecules which are used in electrochemical deposition.
The structural, electronic, and optical properties of 4 A single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) contained inside the zeolite channels have been studied based upon the density-functional theory in the local-density approximation (LDA). Our calculated
results indicate that the relaxed geometrical structures for the smallest SWNTs in the zeolite channels are much different from those of the ideal isolated SWNTs, producing a great effect on their physical properties. It is found that all three kinds of 4 A SWNTs can possibly exist inside the Zeolite channels. Especially, as an example, we have also studied the coupling effect between the ALPO_4-5 zeolite and the tube (5,0) inside it, and found that the zeolite has real effects on the electronic structure and optical properties of the inside (5,0) tube.
Violet Lander (VL) (C108H104) is a large organic molecule that when deposited on Cu (110) exhibited lock-and-key like behavior (Otero et al., Nature Mater. 3, 779 (2004)). In this work we report on a detailed fully atomistic molecular dynamics study
of this phenomenon. Our results show that it has its physical basis in the interplay of the molecular hydrogens and the Cu(110) atomic spacing, which is a direct consequence of an accidental commensurability between molecule and surface dimensions. This knowledge could be used to engineer new molecules capable of displaying lock-and-key behavior with new potential applications in nanotechology.
Low-temperature spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is employed to study spin transport across single Cobalt-Phathalocyanine molecules adsorbed on well characterized magnetic nanoleads. A spin-polarized electronic resonance is identified ove
r the center of the molecule and exploited to spatially resolve stationary spin states. These states reflect two molecular spin orientations and, as established by density functional calculations, originate from a ferromagnetic molecule-lead superexchange interaction mediated by the organic ligands.
