A selfie with musical expression in the background. An attempt at heuristics
Authors: Bilica Krzysztof
Published: August 2024

A selfie with musical expression in the background is a metaphor. We take a selfie to see a reflection of ourselves. However, the photograph also enables us to see what surrounded us and what we did not really pay attention to. Let us try to capture the essence of expression in such a metaphorical selfie. We will need additional mirrors: a mirror of language and a mirror of music, as well as a strong (logical!) insight into the real manifestations of language (speech and writing) and the real manifestations of music (sounding music – musica sonabilis and written music – musica scripta), into the relations between the manifestations of language and the manifestations of music, and into the differences between them, and finally into what and how they can express (we can express through them).
EVALUASI PENURUNAN TERHADAP IMPLEMENTASI ELEMEN PENGAKU BETON PADA METODE PERBAIKAN TANAH DEEP CEMENT MIXING
Authors: Antony Robert , Iskandar Ali
Published: August 2024

When working in construction problems with soil quality can be encounter. Soil improvement can be carried out for various types of soil without the need to replace the soil in the field with new soil. One soil improvement method that can be used is the deep cement mixing (DCM) soil improvement method. DCM uses a mixture of dry or wet cement mixed with field soil so that the soil's bearing capacity will increase. Implementation of concrete stiffening element to the DCM or stiffened deep cement mixing (SDCM) can strengthen the DCM and increase the bearing capacity of the soil. By using a finite element program, a simulation of the implementation of stiffening elements in the deep cement mixing soil improvement method can be carried out. The solid method is a modeling method in a finite element program where DCM pile and stiffeners are created in the program along with the surrounding soil. Apart from the solid method, you can also use the composite method to make modeling easier. The composite method is a method that combines the average values ​​of soil parameters and DCM parameters so that there is no need to model DCM in a finite element program. In this research, stiffening elements were added to the DCM in a finite element program using solid and composite methods that were subjected to static loads. The reduction in settlement that occurred in DCM and SDCM using the solid method was 67.87%, while in DCM and SDCM the composite method was 81.09%.

Authors: Christianto Daniel , Audrian Nikita , Victoria Gabriella , Leo Edison
Published: August 2024

Anchors are one of the commonly used connecting methods, that are used to connect structural elements with concrete or other materials and are used not only in new structures but also in existing structures. The installation system can be done by cast in place or post-installed. One type of post-installed anchor is an adhesive anchor which is widely used in strengthening concrete structures because of its installation efficiency. One of the factors that determine the anchor’s tensile strength is the embedment length, where the anchor transmits force from or to the surrounding concrete. The research used the finite element method using Midas FEA NX. Modeling was made with anchor diameters of 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 19 mm, concrete strength of 20 MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, 35 MPa, and anchor embedding depths of 3d, 6d, 105 mm, 150 mm. Then, a tensile test is carried out on the anchors to obtain the tensile capacity value of each anchor. The analysis is carried out in nonlinear static with vertical loads in displacement approach. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the deeper the anchor embedment length, the greater the anchor's tensile capacity.
Abstrak
Angkur adalah salah satu metode penghubung yang umum digunakan, tujuannya untuk menghubungkan elemen struktural dengan beton atau material lainnya dan digunakan bukan hanya pada struktur baru tetapi juga pada struktur yang sudah ada. Sistem pemasangannya dapat dilakukan sebelum (cor di tempat) ataupun sesudah beton mengeras (pasca pasang). Salah satu tipe angkur pasca pasang adalah angkur adhesif yang saat ini banyak digunakan dalam perkuatan struktur beton karena pemasangannya lebih efisien. Salah satu pengaruh kuat tarik angkur adalah berdasarkan dari kedalaman penanaman angkur, dimana angkur menyalurkan gaya dari atau menuju beton di sekelilingnya. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode elemen hingga menggunakan Midas FEA NX. Pemodelan dibuat dengan diameter angkur 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, 19 mm, mutu beton 20 MPa, 25 MPa, 30 MPa, 35 MPa, serta kedalaman penanaman angkur sebesar 3d, 6d, 105 mm, 150 mm. Setelah itu dilakukan pengujian tarik pada angkur untuk mendapatkan nilai kapasitas tarik masing-masing angkur. Analisis dalam Midas FEA NX dilakukan secara nonlinear statik dengan beban secara vertikal menggunakan pendekatan perpindahan dan mengetahui jenis keruntuhan yang terjadi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, semakin dalam penanaman angkur maka semakin besar pula kapasitas tarik angkur.

La protección del erario por el derecho penal y su relación con el deber fundamental de pagar impuestos. Una perspectiva filosófica del integrativismo tridimensionalista
Authors: Silva Rodrigues Raphael
Published: August 2024

In the modern world, there is a clear phenomenon of legal science impoverishment due to disconnection from ethics, even though it should keep present and intact in the law formulation, interpretation, and enforcement. Drawing on the three dimensions (philosophical, political, and legal-scientific) that come into play when examining a crime, should the crime of tax evasion aim to protect Public Funds or the fundamental and solidaristic duty to pay taxes? How should the payment of taxes be configured within the realm of criminal law? This article aims to analyze, albeit superficially, the criteria for interpreting and applying the ethical foundations of Western taxation, given that life in a democratic society requires citizens to fully exercise fiscal solidarity. This is because of their fundamental duty to contribute, according to their economic capacity, to the achievement of the common good. Thus, those who deliberately fail to do so are engaging in behavior deserving criminal reproach.

Authors: Horowitz Sara R. , Veprinska Anna
Published: August 2024

The Mark and Gail Appel Program in Holocaust and Antiracism Education: “Learning from the Past, Teaching for the Future” (TFTF) is a tri-national program that brings students from Canada, Germany, and Poland to sites of Holocaust memory to focus on the history, experience, representation, and memorialization of the Holocaust and its implications for other instances of atrocity, racism, and genocide. This forum gathers five voices from the 2013-2014 cohort of TFTF in order to reflect, a decade after the program, on the program’s challenges, opportunities, and lasting impacts. The forum documents the various ways TFTF has influenced the lives and career trajectories of each of the forum participants. The forum is bookended by reflections from its editors—a program organizer and a program participant—on the potentials of experiential learning, the promise of an international network of educators, and the processing that a program like TFTF continues to demand.

This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges inherent to managing collision CNS tumors, particularly when one neoplasm is hematological.
The Securitization of Migration in Hungary through Conspiracy Theories
Authors: Yukaruç Umut
Published: August 2024

This study examines the securitization of migration in Hungary and its connection to conspiracy theories and populist rhetoric. The Copenhagen School's concept of securitization suggests that security issues are constructed through discourse, where certain topics are elevated to existential threats, justifying extraordinary measures. In Hungary, the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has framed migration as a significant threat to Hungarian identity, culture, and values. This framing frequently relies on conspiracy theories, such as the Great Replacement and Eurabia, which claim that there is a deliberate plan to alter the demographic and cultural makeup of Europe. The study analyses Orbán's speeches and the policies his government has implemented, demonstrating a pattern where migration is portrayed as a severe danger, legitimizing strict responses such as border fences, anti-migrant legislation, and the targeting of institutions associated with liberal ideals. These securitization processes resonate with populist ideologies that create a dichotomy between "us" and "them," fostering division and fear. To understand these processes the article defines securitization, the interplay between conspiracy theories and populist style of politics and examines the Eurabia and Great Replacement conspiracy theories and the speeches of Orbán.

Изучено антивирусное (вирусстатическое) действие 127 производных фосфонуксусной кислоты в культуре клеток костного мозга свиней, из которых для изучения лечебно-профилактического действия было отобрано и испытано 16 веществ. На основе анализа данных об эффективности синтеза, воспроизводимости и лечебной активности при африканской чуме свиней (АЧС) были отобраны три соединения - фосфонуксусная кислота, комплекс фосфонуксусной кислоты с 7-амино-1,3,5-триазаадамантаном (А-14) и калиевая пиридиновая соль фосфонуксусной кислоты (Ф-230), которые предохраняли от гибели более 80% зараженных животных при 100% гибели в контроле. Применение фосфонуксусной кислоты в комплексе с метисазоном в условиях микроэпизоотии предохраняло от гибели всех подсвинков, бывших в контакте с больными, при 100% гибели животных, которым соединение не вводили. Показана возможность (отработаны дозы, сроки и кратности введения химиопрепаратов) для снятия вирусоносительства при АЧС. Установлена возможность получения типоспецифических сывороток, минуя процесс аттенуации вирулентных штаммов. Это позволяет сократить время получения сыворотки в 3-12 раз, что имеет важное значение для серотипирования вируса, так как для аттенуации отдельных штаммов требуется от 6 до 12 и более месяцев. Результаты дают возможность разработки рекомендаций и мероприятий по борьбе с АЧС.

Abstract - Antiviral (virustatic) activity of 127 derivatives of phosphonoacetic acid was examined in porcine bone marrow cell culture; consequently, 16 of them were selected and tested for studying their therapeutic and prophylactic effect. Analysis of combined data on their synthesis efficiency, reproducibility, and therapeutic activity against African swine fever (ASF) resulted in choosing three compounds, i.e. phosphonoacetic acid, phosphonoacetic acid complex with 7-amino-1,3,5-triazaadamantane, and potassium pyridine salt of phosphonoacetic acid, all of which prevented mortality of more than 80% of infected animals versus 100% mortality of animals in control group. The use of phosphonoacetic acid in combination with metisazone under microepizootic conditions prevented mortality of all piglets contacted with the diseased ones, in comparison to 100% mortality in untreated animals. A possibility for virus carriage removal under ASF was shown (dosages, terms and frequency of chemotherapeutic agent administration were determined). The possibility of obtaining type-specific sera was established which left out the step of attenuation of virulent strains. The result allowed to shorten the serum preparation time by 3-12 times which might be crucial for serotyping the virus, since attenuation of individual strains can take up to 6-12 months or more. The results contribute to developing recommendations and measures against ASF.

Keston College (1969–1989) and the evaluation of its activities by the Polish communist intelligence
Authors: Wójcik Bogusław
Published: August 2024

During the Cold War, people split in two camps would not only enter into political, military and economic arguments, but also clash in a strong ideological conflict. In this period, when the Western slogan: ‘Better dead than red’ was on everyone’s lips, ruling leaders in the East were trying to defend their own ideological status quo, by, among other things, battling against so-called Western centres of ideological subversion. As it emerges from preserved documents of Department I of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the People’s Republic of Poland, the Centre for the Study of Religion and Communism, founded in 1969 in Great Britain, later to be colloquially known as Keston College2 was regarded as such a centre. This paper aims to present the activities of Keston College and verify its classification by Polish communist intelligence as a Western centre of ideological subversion. Looking for an answer to the question: ‘why was Keston College treated by officers of the Polish communist intelligence as a centre of ideological subversion?’ I will use the analysis of archival sources and references to the opinions of Keston College researchers and historical literature. In the article, I refer mainly to the archival materials of the Ministry of the Interior of the People’s Republic of Poland. However, it should be borne in mind, that intelligence officers from countries remaining in the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union also spoke in a similar tone about the activities of Keston College. I will carry out comparative research in this area in the forthcoming publication Keston College and the Polish Affairs.
“Shu yun” for two violins, piano and percussion by Jia Daqun: at the intersection of Chinese tradition and European musical avant-garde
Authors: Сяо Ц.
Published: August 2024

Камерный ансамбль «Шуюнь» (1995) Цзя Дацюня является примером программной трактовки жанра, восходящей в истории китайской музыки к первому образцу такого рода – трио «В горах Тайваня» (1949) Цзяна Вэнье. Программное содержание произведения в целом связано с воссозданием средствами «чистой музыки» особенностей сычуаньской оперы (первая и третья части). Вторая часть «Узор на скале» передаёт впечатления композитора от покрытых трещинами древних гор Сычуани. Произведение написано в русле сближения китайской традиции и музыкального авангарда. Анализируя стилевые особенности сочинения, автор статьи показывает, что применённые Цзя Дацюнем европейские композиторские техники и приёмы письма, в том числе авангардные, служат раскрытию образов китайского музыкального театра и воссозданию специфического языка китайской традиционной музыки. Интонационный и метроритмический компоненты обнаруживают тесное взаимодействие в их фиксируемой и нефиксируемой нотами формах. Нефиксируемые элементы генетически восходят к музыкальному языку сычуаньской оперы, но воссоздаются современными композиторскими средствами. В развитии тематизма композитор использует как традиционные полифонические приёмы (в том числе, зеркальную имитацию), так и микрополифонию, характерную для современной музыки

The chamber ensemble "Shu yun" (1995) by Jia Daqun is an example of a programmatic interpretation of the genre, dating back in the history of Chinese music to the first example of this kind – the trio "In the Mountains of Taiwan" (1949) by Jiang Wenye. The programmatic content of the work as a whole is associated with the recreation by means of "pure music" of the features of the Sichuan opera (the first and third parts). The second part "Pattern on the Rock" conveys the composer's impressions of the cracked ancient mountains of Sichuan. The work is written in line with the convergence of Chinese tradition and the musical avant-garde. Analyzing the stylistic features of the composition, the author of the article shows that the European compositional techniques and writing techniques used by Jia Daqun, including avant-garde ones, serve to reveal the images of Chinese musical theater and recreate the specific musical language of Chinese traditional music. Intonation and metrorhythmic components show close interaction in their fixed and unfixed forms. Unfixed elements genetically go back to the musical language of Sichuan opera, but are recreated by modern compositional means. In the development of thematism, the composer uses both traditional polyphonic techniques (including mirror imitation) and micro-polyphony, characteristic of modern music
The development of Chinese vocal music of the 20th century in the context of the processes of academization of art
Authors: Ян Т. , Варламов Д.И.
Published: August 2024

Вокальное искусство Китая, одно из самых древних в мире, не прекращает своего развития на протяжении тысячелетий. Начиная со второй половины XIX века, этот процесс стал особенно интенсивным: в китайской культуре появилось «бельканто», под которым китайские музыканты подразумевали общеевропейскую манеру пения, Пекинская опера, современное национальное пение. В ХХ веке национальная вокальная музыка Китая начала активно перенимать западные музыкальные традиции, чему способствовало основательное знакомство с ними и обучение музыкантов Китая в Европе, в том числе в Советском Союзе, и Америке. При этом особые национальные условия Китая потребовали активной разработки нового способа пения, сформировавшегося на двойной основе – европейской и китайской. Этот способ можно определить, как «национальное академическое пение». Хотя в науке сформировался большой корпус работ об истории вокальной музыки Китая до сих пор нет единого мнения о сущностных особенностях ее становления, терминологического единства в определениях. В данной работе для уточнения и обобщения имеющихся в научной литературе данных предлагается применять понятие «академизация», которое активно используется в исследованиях о музыке для народных инструментов, также проходящей схожие пути развития. Авторы статьи делают вывод, что инновации в китайской вокальной культуре сегодня стали следствием процессов академизации

The vocal art of China, which is among the oldest in the world, has continuously developed for thousands of years. Since the second half of the 19th century, this development process has become especially intense, with the introduction of “bel canto”, a pan-European singing style, into Chinese culture. This included the Beijing Opera and modern national singing styles. In the 20th century, the Chinese national vocal music began to adopt Western musical influences, facilitated by the thorough familiarity with these traditions and the training of Chinese musicians abroad, including in Europe and the United States. At the same time, China's unique national context required the development of a distinct singing method, formed on the basis of both European and Chinese traditions. This style can be described as “national academic singing”. Although a significant body of research on the history of Chinese vocal music has been conducted in the field of science, there still exists no consensus on its essential characteristics and terminology. In this article, in an effort to clarify and synthesize the available data in the scholarly literature, we propose to apply the concept of “academization,” which is actively employed in research on folk instrument music, which also undergoes a similar developmental process. The authors conclude that the innovations in Chinese vocal culture that are currently taking place are a consequence of these academization processes

SLOGANS IN COMPANY NAMES AS AN IMPLEMENTATION OF A BRAND VALUE PROMOTION STRATEGY
Authors: Суворова Т.В.
Published: August 2024

В работе обсуждается проблема важности стратегии про- движения ценности бренда за счет коротких и рифмованных слоганов, легко запоминающихся с мнемонической позиции. Актуальность разработки стра- тегии продвижения ценности бренда в настоящее время несомненна, так как маркетинг в XXI веке становится не просто прибыльным удовлетворением потребностей потребителей, а мостом доверительных партнерских отноше- ний компаний с клиентами. Брендинг как составляющая маркетинга компании нацелен на предоставление и донесение ценностного предложения потреби- телям через платформу бренда. Вербальной частью стратегии продвижения бренда является слоган. Автор приходит к выводу, что все процессы в ком- пании должны быть нацелены на стратегию продвижения ценностного пред- ложения бренда, а слоган поможет показать потребителю ценность и непо- вторимость бренда. В качестве новизны исследования необходимо отметить авторский ориги- нальный подход к рассмотрению слоганов через призму стратегии продвиже- ния ценности, а также переосмысление целей использования слогана. Целью настоящего исследования стало рассмотрение эффективных стра- тегий продвижения ценности бренда с помощью кратких и запоминающихся слоганов. Основной задачей работы явилось рассмотрение и анализ слоганов ком- паний и выявление через семантику слоганов ценностных предложений. Ме- тоды исследования: сравнительный анализ, индукция и дедукция.

В 2022 г. Комитетом по энергетике Государственной Думы Федерального собрания Российской Федерации отмечалось, что для повышения уровня безопасности инновационных термоядерных технологий требуется опережающее развитие нормативной правовой базы в области использования атомной энергии. В соответствии с положениями статьи 24 Федерального закона от 21.11.1995 № 170-ФЗ «Об использовании атомной энергии» меры по регулированию безопасности объектов использования атомной энергии должны быть соразмерны потенциальной опасности данных объектов. При этом существующие и перспективные установки управляемого термоядерного синтеза обладают степенью потенциальной опасности и техническими особенностями, схожими как с радиационными источниками, так и с ядерными установками. Построение эффективной системы регулирования и обеспечения безопасности может быть реализовано за счет отнесения установок управляемого термоядерного синтеза к различным категориям объектов использования атомной энергии, что, в свою очередь, требует разработки соответствующих критериев. В статье описан подход к выбору параметров, по которым в будущем в федеральных нормах и правилах в области использования атомной энергии могут быть определены критерии отнесения установок, реализующих реакции термоядерного синтеза легких ядер, к категориям объектов использования атомной энергии.

In 2022 the Energy Committee of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation noted that in order to increase the safety level of innovative fusion technologies, the regulatory framework in the field of the use of atomic energy shall be developed in advance. In accordance with the provisions of article 24 of Federal Law No. 170-FZ of 21.11.1995 “On the atomic energy use”, measures of nuclear facilities safety regulation must be proportionate to the potential hazard of these facilities. At the same time existing and prospective controlled thermonuclear fusion facilities possess a degree of potential hazard and technical features similar to both radiation sources and nuclear installations. The development of an effective safety regulation system can be implemented by classifying controlled thermonuclear fusion facilities as different types of nuclear facilities, which, in turn, requires the development of appropriate criteria. The article describes an approach to the choice of parameters, which can be used in federal rules and regulations in the field of the use of atomic energy to establish criteria for classification of installations that implement thermonuclear fusion reactions of light nuclei as nuclear facilities.

We present a multi-robot-multi-task scheduling system designed for autonomous chemistry laboratories to enhance the efficiency of executing complex chemical experiments. Building on the herein formulated and developed scheduling algorithms and employing a constraint programming approach, the scheduling system optimizes task allocation across three robots and 18 experimental stations, facilitating the coordinated and concurrent execution of experiments. The system allows for dynamic task insertion during ongoing operations without significant disruption, enhancing laboratory efficiency and flexibility while providing a scalable solution for high-throughput experimentation. In real-world applications involving four diverse chemical experiments with varied step counts, step durations, and sample throughputs, the system demonstrated its ability to reduce total execution time by nearly 40% compared to sequential execution of individual experiments, where in-experiment tasks were already optimized for concurrency. Our multi-robot-multi-task system represents a timely and significant advancement in autonomous chemistry, enabling automated laboratories to conduct experiments with greater efficiency and versatility. By reducing the time and resources required for experimentation, it accelerates the pace of scientific discovery and offers a robust framework for developing more sophisticated autonomous laboratories capable of handling increasingly complex and diverse scientific tasks.
Replica Exchange with Solute Tempering for Protein Conformational Sampling

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become indispensable in numerous biological studies, facilitated by advances in algorithms and high-performance computing. These simulations have played a pivotal role in uncovering both the structural and functional characteristics of biomolecules, particularly proteins, through sophisticated molecular modeling techniques. However, the comprehensive understanding of molecular functions hinges on the ability to thoroughly explore their conformational space. Despite the power of MD simulations, complex systems such as proteins often present challenges, as they can become trapped in local energy minima within the rugged free energy landscape. While recent advancements in hardware and distributed computing platforms have enabled longer simulations and the study of protein folding in explicit solvents, conventional MD simulations still face difficulties in adequately sampling protein configuration space due to this trapping phenomenon. To address this issue, generalized ensemble (GE) sampling algorithms like the replica exchange method (REM) and simulated tempering (ST) have been developed. These algorithms facilitate the exploration of conformational space by inducing a random walk in temperature space within an expanded ensemble. By enabling the exchange of conformations between different temperature replicas, these algorithms can help facilitate the escape from local energy minima, particularly at higher temperatures where thermal fluctuations are more pronounced. These temperature-based GE algorithms are widely employed in simulating proteins and other biological macromolecules. In this chapter, we provide an overview of replica exchange methods, followed by a detailed discussion of Hamiltonian-based replica exchange methods, with a particular focus on replica exchange with solute tempering (REST), REST2 and their variants, including generalized REST (gREST) and replica exchange with hybrid tempering (REHT). Finally, we explore several applications of these enhanced sampling methods in elucidating biological conformational changes.

The mechanisms of odor discrimination are based on the differential interactions of odorant molecules with olfactory receptors (ORs). The biohybrid sensors described so far using ORs show selectivity towards specific versus non-specific binding. Here we disclose a method that enables odorant discrimination based on modulation of the capacitive response of the receptor that allows differentiation of three high-affinity hOR1A1 agonists. We performed voltammetry and impedance measurements of the hOR1A1 receptor selectively immobilized on a gold electrode in the absence and presence of the agonists. Binding induces a decrease in the capacitive response of the receptor that is proportional to the ligand affinity, and which is attributed to changes in the magnitude and orientation of the electric dipole in the receptor, regulating its response to the applied electric field.

Natural products (NP) have proven to be a rich source of potentially bioactive compounds, and metabolomics is the current method of choice for characterizing natural extracts. To integrate the vast amount of data and information produced by modern metabolomics workflows, we recently developed a sample-centric approach for the semantic enrichment and alignment of metabolomics datasets. The resulting Experimental Natural Products Knowledge Graph (ENPKG) is queryable and integrates both newly acquired digitalized experimental data and information, and previously reported knowledge. It allows the highlighting of putative bioactive compounds at the extract level by comparing, for example, the occurrence of compounds of a given chemical class with bioactivity results. Using this approach, we recently described potent anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of two rotenoids, deguelin and rotenone. These compounds were identified in six active extracts from four plant species: Cnestis palala (Connaraceae), Chadsia grevei, Pachyrhizus erosus, and Desmodium heterophylum (Fabaceae). In this work, we present the results of the phytochemical investigation of four of these extracts and the establishment of a library of structural analogs for in vitro bioactivity testing. This work led to the isolation, characterization, and biological evaluation of the anti-T. cruzi potential of 41 compounds, including 11 rotenoids and seven compounds reported for the first time. Thanks to modern metabolite annotation and single-step isolation procedures, this work also demonstrates the possibility of considering natural extract libraries as a reservoir of rapidly accessible pure NPs. This perspective could increase the options for NP research and help accelerate NP drug discovery efforts.

Published: August 2024

Zigzag aromatic hydrocarbon belts, ultrashort segments of zigzag carbon nanotubes, have been fascinating chemistry community for more than a half century because of their aesthetically appealing molecular nanostructures and tantalizing applications. Precise introduction of heteroatoms of distinct electronegativity and electronic configuration can create various heterocyclic aromatic nanobelts with novel physical and chemical properties. Here, we report the synthesis of unprecedented zigzag-type N-heterocyclic aromatic belts, belt[n]pyrrole[n]pyridines (n = 6 - 8), from multiple intramolecular Caryl-Caryl homocoupling reactions of readily available azacalix[n](3,5-dibromopyridine)s. These compounds adopt globally -conjugated belt structures and displayed unique photophysical and electrochemical properties. The spherical frustum cavity of belt[8]pyrrole[8]pyridine was used as the outstanding host to form a very stable 2:1 encapsulation complex with buckminsterfullerene. This work opens a new avenue to the rational design and efficient synthesis of aromatic belts of distinct topological structures and tailor-made properties which are invaluable in applications in materials and supramolecular chemistry.
