The present disclosure concerns synthesis and anion binding features of poly-cyanostilbene macrocycles of Formula (I): ##STR00001##

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for an ortho (o)-hydroxy-functionalized diamine, a method of making an o-hydroxy-functionalized diamine, an o-hydroxy-functionalized diamine-based polyimide, a method of making an o-hydroxy-functionalized diamine imide, methods of gas separation, and the like.

Provided herein are compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating the integrated stress response (ISR) and for treating related diseases; disorders and conditions.

According to one embodiment, An actinic-ray- or radiation-sensitive resin composition comprises a basic compound (C) having n basic groups and m groups that when exposed to actinic rays or radiation, generate an acid, provided that n and m satisfy the relationships n1, m2 and n<m.

A pattern forming method includes forming a pattern film on a substrate. The pattern film includes a triptycene derivative having a triptycene skeleton. The triptycene skeleton includes a first plane in which position 1, position 8, and position 13 of the triptycene skeleton are arranged, and a second plane in which position 4, position 5, and position 16 of the triptycene skeleton are arranged. The triptycene derivative includes a first side chain on a one plane side, the one plane side being on a side of one plane from among the first plane and the second plane, and a second side chain on another plane side or on the one plane side, the another plane side being on a side of another plane from among the first plane and the second plane. The second side chain is different from the first side chain in an etching selectivity ratio.
