A Spiro Phosphamide Catalyzed Enantioselective Proton Transfer of Ylides in a Free Carbene Insertion into N−H Bonds

Free carbene readily causes multiple side reactions due to its high energy, thus its asymmetric transformation is very difficult. We present here our findings of high-pK_a Brønsted acid catalysts that enable free carbene insertion into N−H bonds of amines to prepare chiral α-amino acid derivatives with high enantioselectivity. Under irradiation with visible light, diazo compounds produce high-energy free carbenes that are captured by amines to form free ylide intermediates, and then the newly designed high-pK_a Brønsted acids, chiral spiro phosphamides, promote the proton transfer of ylides to afford the products. Computational and kinetic studies uncover the principle for the rational design of proton-transfer catalysts and explain how the catalysts accelerate this transformation and provide stereocontrol.     

Accelerating Crystallization of Open Organic Materials by Poly(ionic liquid)s

The capability to significantly shorten the synthetic period of a broad spectrum of open organic materials presents an enticing prospect for materials processing and applications. Herein we discovered 1,2,4-triazolium poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) could serve as a universal additive to accelerate by at least one order of magnitude the growth rate of representative imine-linked crystalline open organics, including organic cages, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and macrocycles. This phenomenon results from the active C5-protons in poly(1,2,4-triazolium)s that catalyze the formation of imine bonds, and the simultaneous salting-out effect (induced precipitation by decreasing solubility) that PILs exert on these crystallizing species.     

Influences of levofloxacin salts on the metabolism of Escherichia coli by microcalorimetry

A microcalorimetric technique was used to evaluate the influence of both Levofloxacin lactate in sodium chloride injection (drug A) and Levofloxacin hydrochloride in sodium chloride injection (drug B) on the metabolism of Escherichia coli. By means of an isothermal calorimeter and ampoule method at 37 °C, the power-time curves of E. coli growth were obtained under different conditions. The parameters such as the growth rate constant k, maximum power output P _m, time t _m corresponding to the maximum power output and inhibitory ratio I of these two drugs were obtained. The results reveal that the inhibitory abilities enhance with increasing concentrations of the two drugs. The critical growth concentration and the half-inhibitory concentration IC₅₀ were 0.15 and 0.079 μg mL^?1 (for drug A), 0.13 and 0.061 μg mL^?1 (for drug B), respectively. These results show the drug A has slightly better inhibitory effect on E. coli than that of drug B.

Double-strand DNA cleavage by copper complexes of 2,2'-dipyridyl with guanidinium/ammonium pendants

Two ligands with guanidinium/ammonium groups were synthesized and their copper complexes, [Cu(L1)Cl2](ClO4)2.H2O (1) and [Cu(L2)Cl2](ClO4)2 (2) (L1 = 5,5'-di[1-(guanidyl)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridyl cation and L2 = 5,5'-di[1-(amino)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridyl cation), were prepared to serve as nuclease mimics. X-Ray analysis revealed that Cu(II) ion in 1 has a planar square CuN2Cl2-configuration. The shortest distance between the nitrogen of guanidinium and copper atoms is 6.5408(5) A, which is coincident with that of adjacent phosphodiesters in DNA (ca. 6 A). In the absence of reducing agent, supercoiled plasmid DNA cleavage by the complexes were performed and their hydrolytic mechanisms were demonstrated with radical scavengers and T4 ligase. The pseudo-Michaelis-Menten kinetic parameters (kcat, KM) were calculated to be 4.42 h(-1), 7.46 x 10(-5) M for 1, and 4.21 h(-1), 1.07 x 10(-4) M for 2, respectively. The result shows that their cleavage efficiency is about 10-fold higher than the simple analogue [Cu(bipy)Cl2] (3) (0.50 h(-1), 3.5 x 10(-4) M). The pH dependence of DNA cleavage by 1 and its hydroxide species in solution indicates that mononuclear [Cu(L1)(OH)(H2O)]3+ ion is the active species. Highly effective DNA cleavage ability of is attributed to the effective cooperation of the metal moiety and two guanidinium pendants with the phosphodiester backbone of nucleic acid.

Bulk Mn2+ Doped 1D Hybrid Lead Halide Perovskite with Highly Efficient,Tunable and Stable Broadband Light Emissions

Mn²⁺ doped colloidal three-dimensional (3D) lead halide perovskite nanocrystal (PNC) has attracted intensive research attention; however, the low exciton binding energy and fatal optical instability of 3D PNC seriously hinder the optoelectronic application. Therefore, it remains significant to explore new stable host perovskite with strongly bound exciton to realize more desirable luminescent property. In this work, we utilized bulk one-dimensional (1D) hybrid perovskite of [AEP]PbBr₅ ⋅ H₂O (AEP=N-aminoethylpiperazine) as structural platform to rationally optimize the luminescent property by a controllable Mn²⁺ doping strategy. Significantly, the series of Mn²⁺-doped 1D [AEP]PbBr₅ ⋅ H₂O show enhanced energy transfer efficiency from the strongly bound excitons of host material to 3d electrons of Mn²⁺ ions, resulting in tunable broadband light emissions from weak yellow to strong red spectral range with highest photoluminescence quantum yield up to 28.41 %. More importantly, these Mn²⁺-doped 1D perovskites display ultrahigh structural and optical stabilities in humid atmosphere, water and high temperature exceeding the conventional 3D PNC. Combined highly efficient, tunable and stable broadband light emissions enable Mn²⁺-doped 1D perovskite as excellent down-converting phosphor showcasing the potential application in white light emitting diode. This work not only provides a profound understanding of low-dimensional perovskites but also opens a new way to rationally design high-performance broadband light emitting perovskites for solid-state lighting and displaying devices.
