Abstract

X-Ray Detection and Shielding In article number 2206782, Jian-Qiang Wang, Jian Lin, and co-workers demonstrate a bifunctional platform for X-ray detection and shielding, which is realized by stepwise crystallization of millimeter-scale thorium cluster single crystals. The judicious synergy between high-Z thorium cations and 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate ligands gives rise to a radiochromic nanocluster, whose attenuation efficiency is higher than that of lead glass containing 40% PbO.
