Visual detection of Al ions using conjugated copolymer-ATP supramolecular complex

A colorimetric Al³⁺ sensor based on fluorescence recovery of a conjugated copolymer-ATP complex is proposed. An optimized ratio of two polythiophene (PT) monomers is utilized to synthesize copolymer (CP) that yielded maximized colorimetric response for Al³⁺ in deionized (DI) and tap water. The electrostatic disassembly of CP-ATP upon addition of Al³⁺ led to an evident visual color change. The lowest concentration of Al³⁺ for naked eye observation is around 4 μM, which is below the threshold levels in drinking water according to European Economic Community (EEC) standard. Besides, the proposed assay showed a similar response to Al³⁺ in tap water. The proposed methodology showed selective and sensitive detection for Al³⁺ in analytically relevant concentration ranges without involving sophisticated instrumentation, illustrating the applicability for on-site drinking water monitoring.     

表面增强拉曼光谱研究自组装单分子层在化学接触和纳米隔绝下的分子振动活性变化(英文)

为确定表面增强拉曼光谱中某些有争议的弱振动模式是来自高阶的影响还是分子基团对称性变化的影响,本文以1,4-苯二硫醇作为探针分子提供了一种实验验证的框架方法.光谱实验显示,观测到的有争议的弱振动模式并不是来自高阶的影响,而是分子基团对称性变化所致.我们的实验框架方法很容易拓展开来,如用于研究其它波长激光激发的类似体系或有机分子搭接的分子结.     

细胞松弛素B阻断微核法鉴定男性个体辐射敏感性的方法初探

初步研究了男性个体辐射敏感性的鉴定方法及标准。采集50名男性志愿者的外周血，分别给予不同剂量X射线照射，采用细胞松弛素B阻断双核法测定微核率(MNF)，通过二阶多项拟合法，绘制微核剂量效应选项中心标准曲线，将个人微核剂量效应曲线与标准曲线比对后判断个体辐射敏感性。 $0.0\sim2.5 $ Gy剂量范围内，剂量效应二阶多项拟合的中心方程为(MNF=0.014 7+0.036 2D+0.023 1D 2， r=0.726)。50名志愿者中，辐射敏感的有13人，辐射抗性的有14人，基本符合正态分布。Spearman秩和相关分析结果显示，MNF在各个辐射剂量点与辐射敏感性均存在正相关,与辐射抗性呈负相关,MNF随剂量增加而增加。本研究初步建立了“以线代点”男性个体辐射敏感性鉴定方法,并发现男性外周血淋巴细胞的本底微核率与个体辐射敏感性呈正相关。     

Mechanically strong and stiff supramolecular polymers enabled by fiber reinforced long-chain alkane matrix

Fiber-reinforced-concrete (FRC) mechanism refers short discrete fibers that are uniformly distributed and randomly oriented, which offers an effective way to improve the mechanical performance of concrete. In the design of supramolecular polymers, an analogous concept of FRC appears to have been considered very rarely-although fibrous structure has been frequently observed/generated during the supramolecular polymerization. In this work, we apply the alkane thermosets, octadecane (C₁₈H₃₈) and tetracosane (C₂₄H₅₀), taking the role of “concrete”, and the low-molecular-weight monomer with long alkyl chains as the essential “fiber” component, to fabricate the “fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer”. Very much like FRC mechanism in material science, the resulting fiber reinforced supramolecular polymer thus exhibit unusually high mechanical strength and stiffness, which is unprecedented in the conventional supramolecular strategy.     

Two-Dimensional Germanium Sulfide Nanosheets as an Ultra-Stable and High Capacity Anode for Lithium Ion Batteries

Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) at present still suffer from low rate capability and poor cycle life during fast ion insertion/extraction processes. Searching for high-capacity and stable anode materials is still an ongoing challenge. Herein, a facile strategy for the synthesis of ultrathin GeS₂ nanosheets with the thickness of 1.1 nm is reported. When used as anodes for LIBs, the two-dimensional (2D) structure can effectively increase the electrode/electrolyte interface area, facilitate the ion transport, and buffer the volume expansion. Benefiting from these merits, the as-synthesized GeS₂ nanosheets deliver high specific capacity (1335 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.15 A g⁻¹), extraordinary rate performance (337 mAh g⁻¹ at 15 A g⁻¹) and stable cycling performance (974 mAh g⁻¹ after 200 cycles at 0.5 A g⁻¹). Importantly, our fabricated Li-ion full cells manifest an impressive specific capacity of 577 mAh g⁻¹ after 50 cycles at 0.1 A g⁻¹ and a high energy density of 361 Wh kg⁻¹ at a power density of 346 W kg⁻¹. Furthermore, the electrochemical reaction mechanism is investigated by the means of ex-situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. These results suggest that GeS₂ can use to be an alternative anode material and encourage more efforts to develop other high-performance LIBs anodes.     

Synergistic N-Heterocyclic Carbene/Palladium-Catalyzed Umpolung 1,4-Addition of Aryl Iodides to Enals

An umpolung 1,4-addition of aryl iodides to enals promoted by cooperative (terpy)Pd/NHC catalysis was developed that generates various bioactive β,β-diaryl propanoate derivatives. This system is not only the first reported palladium-catalyzed arylation of NHC-bound homoenolates but also expands the scope of NHC-induced umpolung transformations. A diverse array of functional groups such as esters, nitriles, alcohols, and heterocycles are tolerated under the mild conditions. This method also circumvents the use of moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents.
