Inorganic nanocrystal-dynamic porous polymer assemblies with effective energy transfer for sensitive diagnosis of urine copper

Despite their remarkable mechanical, optical, and electrical properties, inorganic particles and dynamic polymer assemblies encounter difficulties in their compatibility with regards to structural order and complexity. Here, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) constructed through reversible coupling reactions were exploited as dynamic porous polymers to prepare inorganic nanocrystal-polymer assemblies. Under an in situ growth process, carbon quantum dots (CDs) were gradually prepared in the COF cavity, with a narrow size distribution (2 ± 0.5 nm). The well-established assemblies achieve effective energy transfer from the inorganic to the organic part (efficiency > 80%), thus rendering a ∼130% increase in quantum yield compared with the pristine COF network. Notably, the hybrid material realizes a simple, selective, and sensitive diagnostic tool for urine copper, surpassing the detection limit of COF solid by 150 times. Beyond the scientific and fundamental interests, such hybrid assemblies are attractive from technological perspectives as well, for example, in energy storage, electronics, catalysis, and optics.

Electrochemical and surfaced-enhanced Raman spectroscopic investigation of CO and SCN- adsorbed on Au(core)-Pt(shell) nanoparticles supported on GC electrodes

Core-shell Au-Pt nanoparticles were synthesized by using a seed growth method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC electrodes were prepared by drop-coating the nanoparticles on clean glassy carbon (GC) surfaces, and their electrochemical behavior in 0.5 M H2SO4 revealed that coating of the Au core by the Pt shell is complete. The electrooxidation of carbon monoxide and methanol on the Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC was also examined, and the results are similar to those obtained on a bulk Pt electrode. High quality surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of both adsorbed CO and thiocyanate were observed on the Au(core)-Pt(shell)/GC electrodes. The potential-dependent SERS features resemble those obtained on electrochemically roughened bulk Pt or Pt thin films deposited on roughened Au electrodes. For thiocyanate, the C-N stretching frequency increases with the applied potential, yielding two distinctly different dnu(CN)/dE. From -0.8 to -0.2 V, the dnu(CN)/dE is ca. 50 cm(-1)/V, whereas it is 90 cm(-1)/V above 0 V. The bandwidth along with the band intensity increases sharply above 0 V. At the low-frequency region, Pt-NCS stretching mode at 350 cm(-1) was observed at the potentials from -0.8 to 0 V, whereas the Pt-SCN mode at 280 cm(-1) was largely absent until around 0 V and became dominant at more positive potentials. These potential-dependent spectral transitions were attributed to the adsorption orientation switch from N-bound dominant at the negative potential region to S-bound at more positive potentials. The origin of the SERS activity of the particles is briefly discussed. The study demonstrates a new method of obtaining high quality SERS on Pt-group transition metals, with the possibility of tuning SERS activity by varying the core size and the shell thickness.     

Infrared (1.2-1.6 microm) luminescence in Cr4+:Yb3Al5O12 single crystal with 940 nm diode pumping

Infrared (1.2-1.6 microm) luminescence in a ytterbium aluminium garnet (YbAG) crystal, doped with Cr (0.05at.%) ions, was investigated under CW laser diode pumping (lambda=940 nm). The Cr4+ emission band was observed with its peak at 1.34 microm and measured to be about 1.3 times with respect to Yb3+ IR luminescence (lambda=1.03 microm). We demonstrate that for the excitation wavelength of 940 nm Yb3+ ions act as sensitizers of the 3B2(3T2)-3B1(3A2) emission of Cr4+ ions. This crystal is promising as a high-efficient system for tunable laser (1.2-1.6 microm) output.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of the one-dimensional linear chain structure cyano-bridged complex [Cu(teta)(H2O)2][Cu(teta) Fe(CN)6]ClO4·2H2O (teta=5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacylotetradecane)

Reaction of either K₃[Fe(CN)₆] or K₄[Fe(CN)₆] with a macrocyclic Cu^II complex, [Cu(teta)](ClO₄)₂ (teta = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacylotetradecane), in aqueous solution gave the same product as shown by spectroscopic and physicochemical characterisation. The crystal structure of the complex shows that it is a one-dimensional linear chain type heterobinuclear Fe^III–Cu^II polymer. The unit is composed of a [Cu(teta)(H₂O)₂]²⁺ cationic complex, a Fe^III–Cu^II alternate linear chain unit, a ClO ₄ ^– ion and four water molecules. The Cu atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement by four nitrogen atoms from one teta ligand and two nitrogen atoms of the bridging cyanide groups. The Cu—N bond distances involving the cyanide bridges, 2.522(7) and 2.608(7)Å, respectively, indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the Fe^III and Cu^II atoms.

Ligand effect in the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition polymerization (CuAACP)

Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition polymerization (CuAACP) of AB₂ monomers demonstrated a chain-growth mechanism without any external ligand because of the complexation of in situ formed triazole groups with Cu catalysts. In this study, we explored the use of various ligands that affected the polymerization kinetics to tune the polymers’ molecular weights and the degree of branching (DB). Eight ligands were studied, including polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether (PEG₃₅₀, M_n = 350), tris(benzyltriazolylmethyl)amine (TBTA), 2,6-bis(1-undecyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)pyridine (Py(DBim)₂), 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy), 4,4′-di-n-nonyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dNbpy), N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA), N,N,N′,N″,N″-penta(n-butyl)diethylenetriamine (PBuDETA), and N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentabenzyldiethylenetriamine (PBnDETA). All ligands except PEG₃₅₀ exhibited stronger coordination with Cu(I) than the polytriazole polymer, which freed the Cu catalyst from polymers and resulted in dominant step-growth polymerization with simultaneous chain-growth feature. Meanwhile, the use of PEG₃₅₀ ligand retained the confined Cu in the polymer, demonstrating a chain-growth mechanism, but lower polymer molecular weights as compared with the no-external-ligand polymerization. Results indicated that aliphatic substituent groups on ligands had little effect on the molecular weights and DB of the polymers, but rigid aromatic substituent groups decreased both values. By varying the ligand species and amounts, hyperbranched polymers with DB value ranging from 0.53 ([TBTA]₀/[Cu]₀ = 5) to 0.98 ([PMDETA]₀/[Cu]₀ = 2) have been achieved. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis, Structure and H+/K+-ATPase Inhibitory Activity of Novel Triazolyl Substituted Tetrahydrobenzofuran Derivatives via One-pot Three-component Click Reaction

Eleven triazolyl substituted tetrahydrobenzofuran derivatives were synthesized in high yields as novel H⁺/K⁺‐ATPase inhibitor via one‐pot CuI‐catalyzed three‐component click reaction of azide, secondary amine and 3‐bromopropyne under mild conditions in water. Their structures were characterized by NMR, IR, ESI‐MS, elemental analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Most of the target compounds exhibited better H⁺/K⁺‐ATPase inhibitory activity than commercial omeprazole with IC₅₀ values less than 15 µmol·L^?1. The initial structure‐activity analysis suggested that the triazole substituted by cycloalkyl, aromatic ring or O‐containing side‐chain seemed to be beneficial for enhancing the activity.     

Presodiation Strategies for the Promotion of Sodium-Based Energy Storage Systems

Nowadays sodium-based energy storage systems (Na-based ESSs) have been widely researched as it possesses the possibility to replace traditional energy storage media to become next generation energy storage system. However, due to the irreversible loss of sodium ions in the first cycle, development of Na-based ESSs is limited. Presodiation, as a strategy of adding excess sodium ions to the system in advance, accomplishes the enhancement of electrochemical performance. In this minireview, different presodiation strategies applied in sodium-based energy storage systems will be summarized in detail, their functions and corresponding mechanisms will be discussed as well. Furthermore, the current novel application of presodiation method in other aspects of Na-based ESSs will be mentioned additionally.
