Microporous Silica-supported Poi yoxometal ate Catalyst H3PW12O400/SiO2 with High Activity for Acetal Reaction between Benzaldehyde and Ethylene Glycol

Keggin-type polyoxometalates (POMs) whose representative is H3PW12O40(PW12) exhibits a unique combination of physical and chemical properties. They have been widely used as acid catalysts in homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction systems. However, the catalytic activity of PW12 is so limited due to its very low specific surface area (≤9 m2/g)[1] that polar molecules can only react on its surface.

ZnCr Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) Nanosheets Assisted Formation of Hierarchical Flower‐Like CdZnS@LDH Microstructures with Improved Visible‐Light‐Driven H2 Production

The development of new semiconductor photocatalysts toward splitting water has supplied a promising way to obtain sustainable and clean hydrogen energy. Herein, CdZnS@layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites with a hierarchical flower‐like microstructure have been fabricated with the aid of ZnCr–LDH nanosheets as templates. XRD, SEM and HRTEM show that the ZnCr–LDH nanosheets are uniformly dispersed within the composites. The surface of the hierarchical structures is rough and composed of numerous nanocrystals of CdZnS. The HRTEM images indicate that the surface of CdZnS nanocrystals is mainly composed of the (111) plane. Moreover, the visible‐light‐driven H₂ production performance of the CdZnS in the presence and absence of ZnCr–LDH nanosheets has been measured. The results show that ZnCr–LDH nanosheets play an important role in the hierarchical morphology and photocatalytic activity of the as‐prepared samples. In the water‐splitting process, the visible‐light‐driven H₂‐production rate of hierarchical flower‐like CdZnS@LDH is 4.03 times and nearly 10 times higher than that of pristine CdZnS microsphere and pure commercial CdS, respectively. Therefore, this work not only achieves enhanced catalytic performance of the CdZnS by the introduction of ZnCr–LDH nanosheets, but also supplies an insight into the relationship between the hierarchical morphology and the semiconductor photocatalytic activity.

Layer-by-layer self-assembled ultrathin multilayer films of lanthanide polyoxometalates and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and their photoluminescent properties

Ultrathin multilayer films of two lanthanide polyoxometalates (LPOMs), K(17)[Eu(P(2)W(17)O(61))(2)] (EPW) and K(13)[Eu(SiW(11)O(39))(2)] (ESW), and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) have been prepared by layer-by-layer self-assembly from dilute aqueous solutions. UV-vis spectroscopy and ellipsometry respectively show that the absorbance values at characteristic wavelengths and the thicknesses of the multilayer films increase linearly with the number of LPOM/PAH bilayers, suggesting that the deposition process is linear and highly reproducible from layer to layer. Average thicknesses of ca. 3.4 and 2.4 nm were determined for the EPW/PAH and ESW/PAH bilayers by ellipsometry, respectively. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images provide the surface morphology of the LPOM/PAH films, indicating that the film surface is relatively uniform and smooth. The photoluminescent properties of these films have also been investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The LPOM/PAH multilayer film has a good thermal stability as shown by UV-vis, X-ray photoelectron, and fluorescence spectra.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and structures of two novel chain-like heteropolymolybdate formed by Keggin cluster units

Two novel heteropolymolybdate, [H₂bpy]₂ [Hbpy] [PCuMo₁₁O₃₉]·H₂O 1 and [H₂bpy]₂ [Hbpy] [PZnMo₁₁O₃₉]·2.75H₂O 2, have been prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The two compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n (No. 14) with a=13.440(3) Å, b=26.660(5) Å, c=15.240(3) Å, β=99.55(3)°, and Z=4 for the compound 1, and a=13.610(3) Å, b=26.781(5) Å, c=15.205(3) Å, β=100.40(3)°, and Z=4 for the compound 2. Compound 1 and 2 exhibit a zigzag chain structure in which Keggin anions are connected through a common oxygen atom. They are the first characterized compounds containing 1D chains of transition-metal substituted Keggin heteropolymolybdate. Other characterizations by elemental analysis, IR, EPR, TG, and XRPD are also described.     

A novel three-dimensional network constructed from tetramolybdate clusters linked via two types of copper complex fragments: synthesis, characterization, and magnetic behavior of [[CuII(2,2'-bpy)][CuII(IN)2][Mo4O12(OH)2]

A novel three-dimensional copper molybdate with mixed ligands, [[Cu(II)(2,2'-bpy)][Cu(II)(IN)(2)][Mo(4)O(12)(OH)(2)]] (IN(-) = isonicotinate ion, 2,2'-bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), 1, has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized, and this compound is built from an unprecedented tetranuclear molybdenum oxide cluster covalently bonded to two types of copper complex fragments, [Cu(II)(2,2'-bpy)](2+) and [Cu(II)(IN)(2)], via terminal oxygen atoms of [MoO(6)] octahedra. Crystal data for compound 1: monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 16.4755 A, b = 10.3714 A, c = 17.4382 A, alpha = 90.0000 degrees, beta = 94.8098 degrees, gamma = 90.0000 degrees; V = 2969.24 A(3); Z = 2. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates that both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions exist in 1.

Computational Simulation of HIV Protease Inhibitors to the Main Protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2: Implications for COVID-19 Drugs Design

SARS-CoV-2 is highly homologous to SARS-CoV. To date, the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is regarded as an important drug target for the treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Some experiments confirmed that several HIV protease inhibitors present the inhibitory effects on the replication of SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting Mpro. However, the mechanism of action has still not been studied very clearly. In this work, the interaction mechanism of four HIV protease inhibitors Darunavir (DRV), Lopinavir (LPV), Nelfinavir (NFV), and Ritonavire (RTV) targeting SARS-CoV-2 Mpro was explored by applying docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and MM–GBSA methods using the broad-spectrum antiviral drug Ribavirin (RBV) as the negative and nonspecific control. Our results revealed that LPV, RTV, and NFV have higher binding affinities with Mpro, and they all interact with catalytic residues His41 and the other two key amino acids Met49 and Met165. Pharmacophore model analysis further revealed that the aromatic ring, hydrogen bond donor, and hydrophobic group are the essential infrastructure of Mpro inhibitors. Overall, this study applied computational simulation methods to study the interaction mechanism of HIV-1 protease inhibitors with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, and the findings provide useful insights for the development of novel anti-SARS-CoV-2 agents for the treatment of COVID-19.
