When east meets west: beauty standards and ideals in Singapore by Dhillon, Sasha Kaur

“…Through my interviews, I discovered that Singapore constructs along unique lines – intertwining both Eastern and Western cultures with heavy emphasis on themes like skin colour, gender and race. In fact, to a certain extent my data also showcases palpable state influence in the construction of these ideals. …”

Azadihomocorannulene as a heptagon-embedded diradicaloid by Hamamoto, Yosuke, Wang, Weifan, Li, Yongxin, Ito, Shingo

“…The synthesis was achieved through a mechanochemical C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling in the presence of sodium as a key reaction. Electron spin resonance studies revealed that the neutral azapentabenzodihomocorannulene adopts a singlet diradical (diradicaloid) ground state with a small singlet-triplet energy gap of 2.1 kcal/mol. …”
