Self‐Assembly of Five 8‐Hydroxyquinolinate‐Based Complexes: Tunable Core,Supramolecular Structure,and Photoluminescence Properties

Five new Zn^II complexes, namely [Zn₃(L)₆] ( 1 ), [Zn₂(Cl)₂(L)₂(py)₂] ( 2 ), [Zn₂(Br)₂(L)₂(py)₂] ( 3 ), [Zn(L)₂(py)] ( 4 ), and [Zn₂(OAc)₂(L)₂(py)₂] ( 5 ), were prepared by the solvothermal reaction of ZnX₂ (X^?=Cl^?, Br^?, F^?, and OAc^?) salts with a 8‐hydroxyquinolinate ligand (HL) that contained a trifluorophenyl group. All of the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and powder and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. The building blocks exhibited unprecedented structural diversification and their self‐assembly afforded one mononuclear, three binuclear, and one trinuclear Zn^II structures in response to different anions and solvent systems. Complexes 1 – 5 featured four types of supramolecular network controlled by non‐covalent interactions, such as π???π‐stacking, C? H???π, hydrogen‐bonding, and halogen‐related interactions. Investigation of their photoluminescence properties exhibited disparate emission wavelengths, lifetimes, and quantum yields in the solid state.     

Synthesis and Chromatographic Evaluation of Perfluorooctyl Stationary Phase for Separation of Basic Compounds

Fluorinated stationary phases provide unique separation effect on basic compounds, due to the fluorine atoms, and pentafluorophenyl stationary phases (PFPs) are the most widely used. Considering that some fluoroalkyls have higher fluorine contents than PFPs do, it is speculated that fluoroalkyl stationary phases should have potential new applications. Herein, we synthesized a silica-based stationary phase bonding perfluoroctyl (FC8) proved by characterization through elemental analysis and solid-state ¹³C cross-polarization/magic-anglespinning nuclear magnetic resonance. The chromatographic behavior of the stationary phase was evaluated with test compounds. In addition, to further study the applicability of FC8 materials, Corydalis decumbens (Thunb.) Pers. fraction, considered as a challenging medicine on reversed-phase chromatography columns, was chosen as a test sample. Results demonstrated that the FC8 stationary phase had better and more satisfactory separation performance than the PFP stationary phase on basic compounds.

     

Photocatalytic removal of tetracycline by a Z-scheme heterojunction of bismuth oxyiodide/exfoliated g-C3N4: performance,mechanism, and degradation pathway

Antibiotics, once being released into the environment, become recalcitrant organic pollutants, which pose a potential risk to ecological balance and human health. In this study, a Z-scheme heterojunction of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI)/exfoliated g-C₃N₄ (BiOI/ECN hereafter) was synthesized by the combination of thermal exfoliation of g-C₃N₄ and chemical precipitation of BiOI for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline in aqueous solutions under visible light irradiation. The optimized BiOI/ECN delivered an outstanding degradation rate at circa 0.0705 min^?1, which was 10 times higher than that of the bulk g-C₃N₄. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of tetracycline remained almost unchanged in a pH range of 3–11, and the BiOI/ECN displayed an excellent photostability upon recycled usage. The photocatalytic mechanism of tetracycline was ascribed to the main reactive oxidation species of photogenerated holes and superoxide radicals. In addition, the possible degradation pathways of tetracycline were investigated by HPLC-MS to identify intermediates. The toxicity of photocatalytic-generated intermediates of tetracycline was found significantly alleviated according to the calculation of quantitative structure–activity relationship prediction. This work not only provides an attractive photocatalyst for the removal of tetracycline but also opens a new avenue for rational design of Z-scheme heterojunction composites for tetracycline degradation.     

Synthesis of Fluorescent Carbon Dots and Their Application in Ascorbic Acid Detection

Water-soluble fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized by a hydrothermal method using citric acid as the carbon source and ethylenediamine as the nitrogen source. The repeated and scale-up synthetic experiments were carried out to explore the feasibility of macroscopic preparation of CDs. The CDs/Fe³⁺ composite was prepared by the interaction of the CDs solution and Fe³⁺ solution. The optical properties, pH dependence and stability behavior of CDs or the CDs/Fe³⁺ composite were studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. Following the principles of fluorescence quenching after the addition of Fe³⁺ and then the fluorescence recovery after the addition of asorbic acid, the fluorescence intensity of the carbon dots was measured at λex = 360 nm, λem = 460 nm. The content of ascorbic acid was calculated by quantitative analysis of the changing fluorescence intensity. The CDs/Fe³⁺ composite was applied to the determination of different active molecules, and it was found that the composite had specific recognition of ascorbic acid and showed an excellent linear relationship in 5.0–350.0 μmol·L⁻¹. Moreover, the detection limit was 3.11 μmol·L⁻¹. Satisfactory results were achieved when the method was applied to the ascorbic acid determination in jujube fruit. The fluorescent carbon dots composites prepared in this study may have broad application prospects in a rapid, sensitive and trace determination of ascorbic acid content during food processing.     

Determination of PEGylation homogeneity of polyethylene glycol-modified canine uricase

Polyethylene glycol-modified canine uricase (PEG-UHC) was prepared by modifying the ε-amino group of lysine residues on the canine uricase (UHC) protein to near-saturation with 5 kDa monomethoxyl-polyethylene glycol succinimide (mPEG-SPA-5k). In order to accurately determine the PEGylation uniformity of PEG-UHC, CZE, 3–8% gradient gel SDS-PAGE, and imaging CIEF (iCIEF) analyses were compared. CZE could not effectively separate PEG-UHC proteins with different degrees of modification, 3–8% gradient gel SDS-PAGE could separate PEG-UHC into seven gel bands; however, most of the gel bands were smeared or blurred, and the separation of PEG-UHC samples by iCIEF was significantly better than that by 3–8% gradient gel SDS-PAGE. Under denatured conditions, iCIEF separated 12 pI peaks, and could also accurately quantify the relative monomer PEG-UHC content. More than 85% of the total monomeric PEG-UHC was conjugated with 7–12 PEG molecules; of this 85%, approximately 40% was conjugated with 9–10 PEG molecules. These results demonstrated that iCIEF exhibits good potential for determining the PEGylation homogeneity of PEGylated protein drugs.

钼酸根阴离子在增强聚苯胺包覆的镍钴层状氢氧化物的电容和析氧行为中的关键作用

理论容量大且过电位低的层状氢氧化物(LDHs)是极有前景的超级电容电池和析氧反应的电极材料;然而,体相LDHs的低电导率和活性位点不足增加了电极的内阻,降低了电极容量和产氧效率.本文采用两步法制备了聚苯胺包覆的MoO42?插层的镍钴层状双金属氢氧化物复合电极(M-LDH@PANI).随着LDH中MoO42?含量的增加,针状的LDH微球逐渐演化为具有较高比表面积的片状M-LDH微球,这为整个电极提供了更多的电化学位点.此外,非晶态的聚苯胺包覆提高了复合电极的电导率.在引入适量MoO42?插层离子时,M-LDH@PANI表现出显著强化的储能和催化性能.所获得的M-LDH@PANI-0.5在析氧反应中表现出优越的电催化活性(10 mA cm?2时的过电位为266 mV),作为超级电容电池电极则具有864.8 C g?1的高容量.采用M-LDH@PANI-0.5作为正极及以活性炭作为负极组装的超级电容电池在功率密度为8,300.0 W kg?1时能量密度为44.6 Wh kg?1,且具有优异的循环稳定性(10000次循环后保留83.9％的初始容量).本文为LDH基材料的阴离子插层改性增强材料性能的机理提供了一个非传统的解释.在上述研究基础上,采用射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、高分辨透射电镜(HRTEM)和比表面积测试(BET)等手段对样品进行了深入表征.XRD结果表明,MoO42?插层的LDH材料的层间晶面(003)的峰随着MoO42?含量的增加而逐渐消失,这是由于晶面间距越大越容易受到晶粒细化的影响,间距大的晶格更容易受到破坏,导致晶格的展宽和弱化,从而间接证明MoO42?的成功插层.SEM、HRTEM和BET测试结果表明,MoO42?的含量对材料的形貌和比表面积具有重大影响.利用XPS对样品的价态进行了研究,发现随着MoO42?含量的增加,Co和Ni的价态没有明显变化.电化学测试结果表明,电极的储能和催化性能随MoO42?含量的增加而先增加后减小.利用理论计算分析了MoO42?在LDH中的插层行为,发现少量的MoO42?有利于扩大LDH的层间间距,而过量的MoO42?则会与LDH的H原子结合,从而与电解液中的OH?竞争,导致复合电极的电化学性能下降.此外,MoO42?插层的片状微球能有效调节材料的去质子化能,大大加速电极表面的氧化还原反应.因此,MoO42?插层能够显著强化LDH基材料的超级电容电池电极和OER催化剂电化学性能.

Characterization of Cr‐doped Sb2Te3 films and their application to phase‐change memory

Phase‐change memory (PCM) is regarded as one of the most promising candidates for the next‐generation nonvolatile memory. Its storage medium, phase‐change material, has attracted continuous exploration. Along the traditional GeTe–Sb₂Te₃ tie line, the binary compound Sb₂Te₃ is a high‐speed phase‐change material matrix. However, the low crystallization temperature prevents its practical application in PCM. Here, Cr is doped into Sb₂Te₃, called Cr–Sb₂Te₃ (CST), to improve the thermal stability. We find that, with increase of the Cr concentration, grains are obviously refined. However, all the CST films exhibit a single hexagonal phase as Sb₂Te₃ without phase separation. Also, the Cr helps to inhibit oxidation of Sb atoms. For the selected film CST_10.5, the resistance ratio between amorphous and crystalline states is more than two orders of magnitude; the temperature for 10‐year data retention is 120.8 °C, which indicates better thermal stability than GST and pure Sb₂Te₃. PCM cells based on CST_10.5 present small threshold current/voltage (4 μA/0.67 V). In addition, the cell can be operated by a low SET/RESET voltage pulse (1.1 V/2.4 V) with 50 ns width. Thus, Cr–Sb₂Te₃ with suitable composition is a promising novel phase‐change material used for PCM with high speed and good thermal stability performances. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co.
