Highly efficient, one-step macrocyclizations assisted by the folding and preorganization of precursor oligomers

Highly efficient, one-step macrocyclizations leading to the formation of macrocyclic hexa(aramides) in high yields (69-82%) are described. The one-step macrocyclizations were facilitated by the preorganization or folding of the backbones of uncyclized precursors in the course of macrocyclization. The preorganization of backbones was achieved by the presence of localized three-centered hydrogen bonds that were adopted in the design of a class of closely related, backbone-rigidified foldamers. The macrocyclization involved reactions between diacid chloride 1 and diamine 2. The crude reaction mixtures and products were conveniently examined by mass spectrometric method (MALDI-TOF). Compared to most traditional one-step macrocyclizations that usually require high dilution conditions and often lead to very low overall yields of the desired products, cyclic hexamers 3 were obtained as the overwhelmingly major product under a variety of reaction conditions, suggesting the generality of this approach.

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Novel Organic—Inorganic Hybrid Compound {[Cu（2,2′—bpy）2]2—Mo8O26}

A novel organic-inorganic hybrid compound {[Cu(2,2′-bpy)2]2Mo8O26} has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group, Pna21,with a=2.4164(5),b=1.8281(4),c=1.1877(2)nm,V=5.247(2)nm^3,Z=4,and final R1=0.0331,wR2=0.0727.The structure consists of discrete {[Cu(2,2′-bpy)2]2Mo8O26} clusters,constructed from a β-octamolybdate subunit[Mo8O26]^4- covalently bonded to two [Cu(2,2′-bpy)2]^2 coordination complex cations via bridging oxo groups.In addition,the spectroscopic properties and thernal behavior of this compound have been investigated by spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis,IR,Raman and EPR spectra) and TG analysis.     

Efficient degradation of dye pollutants using dioxygen mediated by iron(Ⅱ) 2,2''-bipyridine loaded layered clay catalyst under visible irradiation

The organic-inorganic layered solid catalyst Fe(bpy)32+-laponite was able to photodegrade Rhodamine B (RhB) by activation of dioxygen under visible irradiation (λ＞420 nm), while the homogeneous aqueous solution Fe(bpy)32+ showed no photoactivity. The catalyst could be repeatedly used and retained its reactivity. The hybrid catalyst could be separated from the suspension by centrifugation or sedimentation. The TOC removal yield of RhB was measured. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed during degradation was detected by EPR. A possible mechanism was proposed on the basis of the experimental results.

Template-synthesized LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and LiNi0.8 Co0.2 O2 nanotubes as the cathode materials of lithium ion batteries

The first point of this work is to synthesize LiCoO2, LiNi0.8 Co0.2 O2, and LiMn2O4 nanotubes with the template of porous anodic aluminum oxide by thermal decomposition of sol-gel precursors. The as-synthesized materials were open-ended nanotubes with uniform shape and size based on the analysis of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. An "in situ reaction from nanoparticle to nanotube" mechanism was discussed for the formation process of the nanotubes. The second point of this paper is to investigate the electrochemical properties of the as-synthesized nanotubes for the cathode materials of lithium ion batteries. It was found that the nanotube electrodes exhibited better reversibility and higher discharge capacities than that of their nanocrystalline counterparts. The reason for the improved electrochemical performance of the nanotube electrodes was also interpreted.

Determining PPARγ-ligand binding affinity using fluorescent assay with cis-parinaric acid as a probe

Upon the study of small-molecules binding to proteins, the traditional methods for calculating dissociation constants (Kd and Ki) have shortcomings in dealing with the single binding site models. In this paper, two equations have been derived to solve this problem. These two equations are independent of the total concentration or initial degree of saturation of receptor and the activity of the competitive molecule. Through nonlinear fitting against these two equations, Kd value of a probe can be obtained by binding assay, and Ki value of a ligand can be obtained by competitive assay. Moreover, only the total concentrations of receptor([R]t), ligand([L]t) and probe([P]t) are required for the data fitting. In this work, Ki values of some typical ligands of PPARγ were successfully determined by use of our equations, among which the Ki value of PPARγ-LY171883 was reported for the first time.
