Generating New Cross‐Relaxation Pathways by Coating Prussian Blue on NaNdF4 To Fabricate Enhanced Photothermal Agents

Cross‐relaxation among sensitizers is commonly regarded as deleterious in fluorescent materials, although favorable in photothermal agents. Herein, we coated Prussian blue (PB) on NaNdF₄ nanoparticles to fabricate core–shell nanocomplexes with new cross relaxation pathways between the ladder‐like energy levels of Nd³⁺ ions and continuous energy band of PB. The photothermal conversion efficiency was improved exceptionally and the mechanism of the enhanced photothermal effect was investigated. In vivo photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy demonstrated the potential of the enhanced photothermal agents. Moreover, the concept of generating new cross‐relaxation pathways between different materials is proposed to contribute to the design of all kinds of enhanced photothermal agents.     

利用无机化学在线课程资源，开展翻转课堂的教学实践

During the years of 2015 to 2018, the inorganic chemistry course in Tianjin University has gradually transited from small private on-line course (SPOC) to flipped classroom. Flipped classroom teaching practices were carried out at more than 30 classes at our university by the sufficient use of on-line course resources. These practices effectively improve the quality of teaching, and greatly solve the problem of poor learning initiative and low participation of the students existing in current traditional teaching model. This article in detail introduces and summarizes the following four aspects, including transition of teaching modes, construction of online resources, online and offline supervising, test scores analysis and teaching thought. The effective ways for flipped classroom mode are discussed to improve students' knowledge and learning ability. And it also provides references for teachers to carry out their classroom teaching reform.     

TBN as a metal-free reagent initiated sp3 C–H functionalization of glycine esters: Synthesis of quinoline-2-carboxylate esters

As a metal-free reagent, tert-butylnitrite (TBN) initiated aerobic sp³ C–H bond oxidation of glycine esters was achieved, providing a series of quinoline-2-carboxylates in good yields. The mechanistic investigation revealed that in the presence of molecular oxygen, TBN derived radicals were involved in the C–H bond oxidation and the terminal aromatization.     

An Unconventional Polymerization Route to Hydrophilic Fluorescent Organic Nanoparticles for Multicolor Cellular Bioimaging

We demonstrated an unconventional polymerization route to synthesize hydrophilic fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) for multicolor cellular bioimaging in this contribution. The route benefits from our unexpected discovery of a rapid polymerization reaction between 1,6‐hexanediol dipropiolate and 2,4,6‐triazide‐1,3,5‐triazine under the catalysis of N,N,N′,N′′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA). Interestingly, the 2,4,6‐triazide‐1,3,5‐triazine and PMDETA system can also induce rapid free radical polymerization at room temperature. The as‐prepared FONs exhibited promising water solubility and stability with an average diameter of 20 nm. The excitation wavelength‐dependent fluorescent properties endow the FONs with blue, yellow, and red fluorescent emission under UV, blue, and green excitation, respectively. The cytotoxicity of FONs was investigated by using a Cell Counting Kit (CCK‐8) assay, which indicated good biocompatiblity. More importantly, the cell uptake experiment verified the FONs were excellent fluorescent nanoprobes for multicolor cellular bioimaging. Therefore, this unconventional route provides a novel fabrication strategy of highly hydrophilic FONs for biomedical applications.     

A Helicate‐Based Three‐State Molecular Switch

The control of structural transformations triggered by external signals is important for the development of novel functional devices. In the present study, it is demonstrated that helicates can be designed to structurally respond to the presence of different counterions and to adopt either a compressed or an expanded structure. Reversible switching is not only possible between those two states, furthermore, the twist of the aggregate also can be controlled. Thus, three out of four possible states of a helicate (expanded/left‐handed, expanded/right‐handed, compressed/left‐handed) based on an enantiomerically pure ester bridged dicatecholate ligand are specifically addressed by introduction, exchange, or removal of countercations. This approach is used to reversibly switch between the different states or to successively address them.     

Electrochemical capacitance of the composite of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes

The homogenous coating of poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) on carbon nanotubes was realized by using functionalization of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in this study. Consequently, the PEDOT/functionalized SWNTs (PEDOT/F-SWNTs) composites, with size of around 100nm, which is much smaller than that of PEDOT, were prepared by the electrochemical method. Its small granule increased the active/nonactive mass ratio and reduced the ions diffusion length. Therefore, its specific capacitance of the composite was up to 200F g^?1, which was remarkably greater than that of PEDOT. Furthermore, the PEDOT/F-SWNTs composites had very rapid charge/discharge ability with specific capacitance of 180F g^?1 at scanning rate of 200mV s^?1 and 170F g^?1 at frequency of 1Hz, which is an important practical advantage. In addition, such composite had a good cycling performance and a wide potential window.     

Grain Boundary Electronic Insulation for High-Performance All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Sulfide electrolytes with high ionic conductivities are one of the most highly sought for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the non-negligible electronic conductivities of sulfide electrolytes (≈10⁻⁸ S cm⁻¹) lead to electron smooth transport through the sulfide electrolyte pellets, resulting in Li dendrite directly depositing at the grain boundaries (GBs) and serious self-discharge. Here, a grain-boundary electronic insulation (GBEI) strategy is proposed to block electron transport across the GBs, enabling Li−Li symmetric cells with 30 times longer cycling life and Li−LiCoO₂ full cells with three times lower self-discharging rate than pristine sulfide electrolytes. The Li−LiCoO₂ ASSLBs deliver high capacity retention of 80 % at 650 cycles and stable cycling performance for over 2600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm⁻². The innovation of the GBEI strategy provides a new direction to pursue high-performance ASSLBs via tailoring the electronic conductivity.     

Development of pyrrole-imidazole polyamide for specific regulation of human aurora kinase-A and -B gene expression

Pyrrole-imidazole polyamide (PIP) is a nuclease-resistant novel compound that inhibits gene expression through binding to the minor groove of DNA. Human aurora kinase-A (AURKA) and -B (AURKB) are important regulators in mitosis during the cell cycle. In this study, two specific PIPs (PIP-A and PIP-B) targeting AURKA and AURKB promoter regions were designed and synthesized, and their biological effects were investigated by several in vitro assays. PIP-A and PIP-B significantly inhibited the promoter activities, mRNA expression, and protein levels of AURKA and AURKB, respectively, in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, 1:1 combination treatment with both PIPs demonstrated prominent antiproliferative synergy (CI value [ED(50)] = 0.256) to HeLa cells as a result of inducing apoptosis-mediated severe catastrophe of cell-cycle progression. The novel synthesized PIP-A and PIP-B are potent and specific gene-silencing agents for AURKA and AURKB.
