Self-assembly and anion-exchange properties of a discrete cage and 3D coordination networks based on cage structures

By using tridentate ligand 4-(3-pyridinyl)-1,2,4-triazole (pytrz), cage-like complexes of {[Cu(mu2-pytrz)2](ClO4)(SO4)0.5C2H5OH.0.25 H2O}6 (1), {[Cu3(mu3-pytrz)4(mu2-Cl)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2Cl(2).2 H2O}n (2), and {[Cu3(mu3-pytrz)3(mu3-O)(H2O)3](ClO4)2.5(BF4)(1.5)5.25 H2O}n (3) have been synthesized with different copper(II) salts. Complex 1 represents the second example of a M6L12 metal-organic octahedron with an overall Th symmetry. Complex 2 is constructed from a 3(8) cage-building unit (CBU) and each CBU connects six neighboring cages to give the first 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) based on octahedral M6L12. Complex 3 is built from Cu24(pytrz)12 CBUs with the trinuclear copper clusters serving as second building units (SBUs) and decorating each corner of the M24L12 polyhedron. The Cu24(pytrz)12 building unit is linked by extra ligands to give an extended 3D framework that has the formula Cu24(pytrz)24 and possesses a CaB6 topology. The mixed anions ClO4- and BF4- in 3 are both included in the inner cavity of the cage and can be completely exchanged by ClO4- through the open windows of the cage, as evidenced by the crystal structure of the 3D MOF {[Cu3(mu3-pytrz)3(mu3-O)(H2O)3](ClO4)(4)4.5 H2O}n (4). Complex 4 can also be synthesized when employing 1 as a precursor in an extensive study of the anion-exchange reaction. This represents the first successful conversion of a discrete cage into a 3D coordination network based on a cage structure. Complex 2 remains invariable during anion-exchange reactions because uncoordinated Cl- ions are located in the comparatively small inner cavity.

Particle‐Arrayed Silver Mesocubes Synthesized via Reducing Silver Oxide Mesocrystals for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

In this study, we demonstrate an easy particle‐mediated protocol using the specific structure of mesocrystal Ag₂O sacrificial templates to synthesize highly rough‐cubic Ag mesocages. To the best of our knowledge, the mesocrystal particles are reported for the first time as sacrificial templates for synthesizing metal particles. The obtained Ag mesocages show high surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensitivity because of the highly rough topography formed by arrays of uniform individual Ag nanoparticles. Abundant “hot spots” with greatly enhanced local electromagnetic field are promoted densely on the mesocage surface by the plenty of deep and narrow gaps and the hollow structure. The single‐particle SERS signal generated by the Ag mesocage has an enhancement factor of approximately 10⁹, which is approximately four times higher than the Ag mesocage synthesized using single‐crystal Ag₂O particle as a template. Meanwhile, this signal displays a linear dependence on the detected analyte concentration, sensitively down to 1.0 × 10^?12 m .     

Characteristic model of travelling wave ultrasonic motor

In general, the design and analysis of ultrasonic motor and motor’s control strategy are based on mathematical model. The academic model is widely used in the analysis of traveling wave ultrasonic motor (TWUSM). But the dispersive characteristic of piezoelectric ceramics and other complicated process, such as the friction, make the model’s precision not so accurate. On the other hand, identification modeling method, which is built based on the tested data, has obtained increasing application in the study of ultrasonic motor’s control technology. Based on the identification model, many control strategies can be designed easily. But the identification model is an approximate model, so if a more accurate model of ultrasonic motor can be obtained, the analysis and design of motor control system will be more effective. Characteristic model is a kind of identification model which can accurately describe the characteristics of TWUSM. Based on the tested data, this paper proposes the modeling method of ultrasonic motor’s characteristic model. The paper also makes a comparison of the effectiveness of different identification algorithms. Aiming at the speed control of ultrasonic motor, the influence of the parameter’s initial values on the precision of model is discussed. The calculating results indicate the availability of this characteristic model.     

Pair Production of the Doubly Charged Leptons via Electroweak Vector Boson Fusion at the Large Hadron Collider

Pair production of the doubly charged leptons X±± via vector boson fusion （γγ, Zγ and WW） at the large hadron collider is studied. Our numerical results show that the cross section via Zγ fusion is very small. For the center-of-mass energy √s= 14 TeV and Mx = 200 650 GeV, the values of the cross sections σγγ and σww are in the ranges of 5.2 fb-0.04 fb and 20.2 fb 1.2 fb, respectively.

Spectroscopy and Molecular Docking Study on the Interaction Behavior Between Nobiletin and Pepsin

In this study, the binding mode of nobiletin (NOB) with pepsin was investigated by spectroscopic and molecular docking methods. NOB can interact with pepsin to form a NOB-pepsin complex. The binding constant, number of binding sites and thermodynamic parameters were measured, which indicated that NOB could spontaneously bind with pepsin through hydrophobic and electrostatic forces with one binding site. Molecular docking results revealed that NOB bound into the pepsin cavity. Synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra results provide data concerning conformational and some micro-environmental changes of pepsin. Furthermore, the binding of NOB can inhibit pepsin activity in vitro. The present study provides direct evidence at a molecular level to show that NOB could induce changes in the enzyme pepsin structure and function.     

Investigation of astigmatic Gaussian beam Z scan with simultaneous third- and fifth-order nonlinear refraction

Based on Gaussian decomposition method, we present a theoretical investigation on the astigmatic Gaussian beam Z-scan when materials possess the simultaneous third- and fifth-order nonlinear refraction effects, and obtain an analytic expression of normalized transmittance of the Z-scan trace for the case of pinhole. The influences of ellipticity and waist separation on the Z-scan curves are analyzed. We find that normalized transmittance difference between the peak and the valley in Z-scan curves decreases gradually with the increment of the waist separation or with the decrement of the ellipticity.
