Chemical Reactions of Cationic Metallofullerenes: An Alternative Route for Exohedral Functionalization

The chemistry of cationic forms of clusterfullerenes remain less explored than that of the corresponding neutral or anionic species. In the present work, M₃N@I_h-C₈₀ (M=Sc or Lu) cations were generated by both electrochemical and chemical oxidation methods. The as-obtained cations successfully underwent the typical Bingel–Hirsch reaction that fails with neutral Sc₃N@I_h-C₈₀. Two isomeric Sc₃N@I_h-C₈₀ cation derivatives, [5,6]-open and [6,6]-open adducts, were synthesized, and the former has never been prepared by means of a Bingel–Hirsch reaction with neutral clusterfullerenes. In the case of the Lu₃N@I_h-C₈₀ cation, however, only a [6,6]-open adduct was obtained. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicated that the oxidized M₃N@I_h-C₈₀ was much more reactive than the neutral compound upon addition of the diethyl bromomalonate anion. The Bingel–Hirsch reaction of M₃N@I_h-C₈₀ cations occurred by means of an unusual outer-sphere single-electron transfer (SET) process from the diethyl bromomalonate anion to the stable intermediate [M₃N@C₈₀(C₂H₅COO)₂CBr]^.. Remarkably, the diethyl bromomalonate anion was found to act as both a nucleophile and an electron donor.     

Fluorogenic Detection and Characterization of Proteins by Aggregation-Induced Emission Methods

Protein is one of the four most important biomacromolecules in living systems. The detection, quantification, localization, and characterization of proteins is essential for an understanding of biological fundamentals, as well as for the diagnostics and treatment of protein-related diseases. By using intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, different techniques have been established to study proteins, many of which are now being routinely used in research laboratories and clinics. This review summarizes the applications of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorescence in protein science. In contrast to traditional fluorescent dyes, the activation of AIE dyes is mainly attributed to the restriction of intramolecular motions. This unique turn-on mechanism of AIE dyes allows researchers to develop novel fluorogenic strategies for sensitive, selective, and reliable analysis of proteins. This review focuses on introducing AIE strategies for 1) detection, localization, and quantification of proteins; 2) probing polymer conformational transitions of proteins; 3) characterization of protein–ligand interactions; and 4) evaluation of enzyme activities. Perspectives and challenges with respect to this emerging field of protein characterization are offered.     

Synthesis of sponge-like TiO2 with surface-phase junctions for enhanced visible-light photocatalytic performance

Maximizing adsorption and catalytic active sites and promoting the photo-excited charge separation are two key factors to achieve excellent photocatalytic performance. In this study, we report a sol-gel synthesis approach to obtain non-metal doped TiO₂ with sponge-like structure and surface-phase junctions all at once. While doping of carbon and nitrogen shifted the activation wavelength to the visible-light region, the innovative use of perchloric acid as a pore-making agent led to the formation of three-dimensional lamellar and porous structure with surface-phase junctions. High surface area with catalytic active sites rendered by the sponge-like structure and surface-phase junctions contributed to the much improved photocatalytic degradation efficiency toward rhodamine B, tetracycline and Disperse Red 60 with excellent reusability and stability. The improved generation and separation efficiency of the photo-induced charge carriers of the as-prepared TiO₂ were supported by electrochemical impedance measurements and transient photocurrent responses. This method could also be applied to other photocatalysts to achieve structural alteration and element doping simultaneously.     

Rapid Charge Transfer Endowed by Interfacial Ni-O Bonding in S-scheme Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic H2 and Imine Production

Cooperative coupling of H₂ evolution with oxidative organic synthesis is promising in avoiding the use of sacrificial agents and producing hydrogen energy with value-added chemicals simultaneously. Nonetheless, the photocatalytic activity is obstructed by sluggish electron-hole separation and limited redox potentials. Herein, Ni-doped Zn_0.2Cd_0.8S quantum dots are chosen after screening by DFT simulation to couple with TiO₂ microspheres, forming a step-scheme heterojunction. The Ni-doped configuration tunes the highly active S site for augmented H₂ evolution, and the interfacial Ni−O bonds provide fast channels at the atomic level to lower the energy barrier for charge transfer. Also, DFT calculations reveal an enhanced built-in electric field in the heterojunction for superior charge migration and separation. Kinetic analysis by femtosecond transient absorption spectra demonstrates that expedited charge migration with electrons first transfer to Ni²⁺ and then to S sites. Therefore, the designed catalyst delivers drastically elevated H₂ yield (4.55 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹) and N-benzylidenebenzylamine production rate (3.35 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹). This work provides atomic-scale insights into the coordinated modulation of active sites and built-in electric fields in step-scheme heterojunction for ameliorative photocatalytic performance.

Perovskite Films Doped with Polyoxometalate and Ionic Liquid Assisted Crystallization for Efficient Photodetectors

The dependence of perovskite-based photovoltaic devices on toxic solvents limits their applications. Therefore, we added polyoxometalates into ionic liquids, as the green solvent and polyoxometalates synergistically improve the performance of devices. Firstly, methylammonium formate (MAFa) as solvent delayed the crystallization process of perovskite thin films, thus obtained an extended crystal domain, and the photocurrent of the device was increased from 35.51 μA to 63.18 μA. Secondly, introducing PW₁₂ into this green solvent system, the matched energy level and good electron transmission rate promoted the separation of photogenerated excitons and accelerated the transmission of photogenerated electrons in perovskite. After dual adjustment of MAFa and PW₁₂, the photocurrent of the champion device reached 95.99 μA (about 2.7 times of the original device), the unpacked devices can still maintain 80 % of initial value after being placed under environmental conditions for 700 h.
