In-situ cation exchange enhances room temperature phosphorescence of a family of metal-organic frameworks

The rational designability and chemical tunability of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are enabling tributes to efficaciously enhance their room temperature phosphorescence(RTP)performance.A family of stable anionic MOFs,[Zn₂(4,5-ImDC)₂]M₂(NKU-132,M=(CH₃)₂NH₂or(CH₂CH₃)₂NH₂),featuring significant RTP have been synthesized.By rational cation selection and in-situ replacement from dimethylammonium to diethylammonium,the phosphorescence lifetime is increased from 30.88 to126.3 ms,along with less sensitivity to air.This work provides an anti-quenching and lifetime tuning example for RTP-MOFmaterials via facile host-guest chemistry.

Facile Synthesis of Manganese Tellurite Nanoparticles for Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Photothermal Therapy

In this study, manganese tellurite (MnTeO₃) nanoparticles are developed as theranostic agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided photothermal therapy of tumor. MnTeO₃ nanoparticles are synthesized via a simple one-step method. The as-synthesized MnTeO₃ nanoparticles with uniform size show good biocompatibility. In particular, MnTeO₃ nanoparticles exhibit a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 26.3%), which is higher than that of gold nanorods. Moreover, MnTeO₃ nanoparticles also have high MRI performance. The longitudinal relaxivity (r₁) value of MnTeO₃ nanoparticles is determined to be 8.08 ± 0.2 mm ⁻¹ s⁻¹, which is higher than that of clinically approved T₁-contrast agents Gd-DTPA (4.49 ± 0.1 mm ⁻¹ s⁻¹). The subsequent MnTeO₃ nanoparticles-mediated photothermal therapy displays a highly efficient ablation of tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo with negligible toxicity. It is demonstrated that MnTeO₃ nanoparticles can serve as promising theranostic agents with great potentials for MRI-guided photothermal therapy.

Mechanistic Investigation and Conductance Modulation of a Metal-Molecule-Metal Junction via Extra Acid Addition

One important prerequisite for the fabrication of molecular functional device strongly relies on the understanding the conducting behaviors of the metal-molecule-metal junction that can respond to an external stimulus. The model Lewis basic molecule 4,4′-(pyridine-3,5-diyl)dibenzonitrile (DBP), which can react with Lewis acid and protic acid, was synthesized. Then, the molecular conducting behavior of DBP, DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH (DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH were produced by Lewis acid and protonic acid treatment of DBP) was researched and compared. Given that their identical physical paths for DBP, DBP-B(C₆F₅)₃, and DBP-TfOH to sustain charge transport, our results indicate that modifying the molecular electronic structure, even not directly changing the conductive physical backbone, can tune the charge transporting ability by nearly one order of magnitude. Furthermore, the addition of another Lewis base triethylamine (of stronger alkaline than DBP), to Lewis acid-base pair reverts the electrical properties back to that of a single DBP junction, that is constructive to propose a useful but simple strategy for the design and construction of reversible and controllable molecular device based on pyridine derived molecule.

电磁场作用下菜籽油的摩擦学性能研究

使用改进后的四球摩擦磨损试验机考察了不同电磁场强度和不同载荷条件下菜籽油的摩擦学性能,结合扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线能谱仪(EDS)和X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)分析了磨斑的表面形貌及表面典型元素的化学状态,并对摩擦学机理进行了初步探讨.结果表明:在所考察的工况下,电磁场有利于改善菜籽油的抗磨减摩性能,其强度越大,对菜籽油抗磨减摩性能的改善效果越好;电磁场通过促进吸附膜的吸附作用和O元素与金属表面作用,有利于在磨斑表面生成更厚、更致密的摩擦化学反应膜,从而增强了菜籽油的抗磨减摩性能;不同强度的电磁场可能会改变长链菜籽油分子在摩擦界面的吸附形态而影响其减摩性能.
