Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Properties of a Dinuclear Cu(I) Cluster

Abstract

A new dinuclear copper(I) cluster complex, [(o-Tol)₃PCuI₂CuP(o-Tol)₃(DMF)] (1) ((o-Tol)₃P = tris(2- methylphenyl)phosphine, DMF = N, N′-dimethylformamide), has been synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The dinuclear copper(I) cluster molecule containing an asymmetric Cu₂I₂P₂O core and the dinuclear clusters are fused together by a strong π–π stacking interaction to form asupramolecular one-dimensional (1D) chain. After having compared the relevant complexes composed of CuI and monodentate triarylphosphine ligands, the impact of the substituent of the triarylphosphine ligand to the subsequent complex structure has also been discussed.Except for a strong π–π* bond, the complex 1 also exhibits a weak metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) absorption bond in the 430–530-nm region and displays a weak green-yellow emission when irradiated by ultraviolet (UV) light. The thermogravimetric analysis demonstrates that its thermal stability is good, and the corresponding PXRD analysis has revealed that the final, organic-free decomposed product is CuI.

Degradation of pyrazinamide in aqueous solution by electron beam irradiation: kinetics,influence factors and mechanism study

The degradation of pyrazinamide (PZA) by electron beam irradiation (EBI) was studied. It was found that the degradation of PZA was efficient with the removal rate of 99% for 0.2 mM PZA under 5 kGy, and the degradation kinetics followed pseudo-first-order kinetics. The presence of CO₃^2?, HCO₃^?, NO₃^?, and fulvic acid inhibited the degradation of PZA. The addition of H₂O₂ or K₂S₂O₈ effectively enhanced the degradation and mineralization of PZA. The scavenger experiments and quantum chemical calculations showed that ^·OH was the primary reactive species in the degradation. The identification of intermediates and quantum chemical calculations illustrated the mechanism of degradation.

     

Amorphous Co-Mo-B Film: A High-Active Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Generation in Alkaline Seawater

The development of efficient electrochemical seawater splitting catalysts for large-scale hydrogen production is of great importance. In this work, we report an amorphous Co-Mo-B film on Ni foam (Co-Mo-B/NF) via a facile one-step electrodeposition process. Such amorphous Co-Mo-B/NF possesses superior activity with a small overpotential of 199 mV at 100 mA cm⁻² for a hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline seawater. Notably, Co-Mo-B/NF also maintains excellent stability for at least 24 h under alkaline seawater electrolysis.

Synergetic Modulation of Steric Hindrance and Excited State for Anti-Quenching and Fast Spin-Flip Multi-Resonance Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorophore

Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials hold great promise for advanced high-resolution organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. However, persistent challenges, such as severe aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and slow spin-flip, hinder their optimal performance. We propose a synergetic steric-hindrance and excited-state modulation strategy for MR-TADF emitters, which is demonstrated by two blue MR-TADF emitters, IDAD-BNCz and TIDAD-BNCz , bearing sterically demanding 8,8-diphenyl-8H-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine (IDAD) and 3,6-di-tert-butyl-8,8-diphenyl-8H-indolo[3,2,1-de]acridine (TIDAD), respectively. These rigid and bulky IDAD/TIDAD moieties, with appropriate electron-donating capabilities, not only effectively mitigate ACQ, ensuring efficient luminescence across a broad range of dopant concentrations, but also induce high-lying charge-transfer excited states that facilitate triplet-to-singlet spin-flip without causing undesired emission redshift or spectral broadening. Consequently, implementation of a high doping level of IDAD-BNCz resulted in highly efficient narrowband electroluminescence, featuring a remarkable full-width at half-maximum of 34 nm and record-setting external quantum efficiencies of 34.3 % and 31.8 % at maximum and 100 cd m⁻², respectively. The combined steric and electronic effects arising from the steric-hindered donor introduction offer a compelling molecular design strategy to overcome critical challenges in MR-TADF emitters.

A novel method of protein extraction from perennial Bupleurum root for 2-DE

The perennial Bupleurum root is thick and woody and contains high levels of interfering compounds. Common protein extraction methods have proved refractory towards the isolation of proteins suitable for 2-DE, due to the presence of interfering compounds. A novel method for extracting proteins suitable for 2-DE was established to overcome these problems. The main characteristic of this protocol is the partitioning of the proteins into the aqueous (fraction A-2), chloroform and isoamyl alcohol phases (A-3), and the interphase (A-1). The proteins are then extracted from each of these phases. From A-1, 85% (extracted protein against total proteins) proteins could be extracted and purified. For fraction A-2, a novel phenol extraction step is employed for the extraction of proteins. Based on the well-resolved 2-DE patterns, our protein preparation is free of interfering compounds. Using these methods (A-1, A-2, and A-3-3), a total of 3662 (1526 + 1128 + 1008) spots could be separated, and a protein yield of about 1.41 mg per 1.0 g fresh root material was obtained. To our knowledge, this is the first time that a protocol for protein extraction from perennial Bupleurum root has been reported that gives reproducible results. The protocol is expected to be applicable to other recalcitrant plant tissues as well.     

The Cauchy Problem for the Fifth Order Shallow Water Equation

The local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the fifth order shallow water equation δtu＋αδx^5u＋βδx^3u＋rδxu＋μuδru=0,x,t∈R, is established for low regularity data in Sobolev spaces H^s（s≥-3/8） by the Fourier restriction norm method. Moreover, the global well-posedness for L^2 data follows from the local well-posedness and the conserved quantity. For data in H^s（s〉0）, the global well-posedness is also proved, where the main idea is to use the generalized bilinear estimates associated with the Fourier restriction norm method to prove that the existence time of the solution only depends on the L^2 norm of initial data.     

A two‐dimensional manganese(II) coordination polymer: poly­[[di­aqua­manganese(II)]‐μ‐4,4‐bi­pyridine‐κ2N:N′‐μ‐(p‐phenyl­ene­dioxy­diacetato)‐κ2O:O′]

In the title two‐dimensional coordination polymer, [Mn(1,4‐BDOA)(4,4‐bipy)(H₂O)₂]_n [1,4‐BDOA²⁻ is the p‐phenyl­ene­dioxy­di­acetate dianion (C₁₀H₈O₆) and 4,4‐bipy is 4,4‐bi­pyridine (C₁₀H₈N₂)], each Mn^II atom displays octahedral coordination by two O atoms of the 1,4‐BDOA²⁻ groups, two N atoms of the 4,4‐bipy ligands and two solvent water mol­ecules. The Mn^II atom, 4,4‐bipy ligand and 1,4‐BDOA²⁻ group occupy different inversion centres. Adjacent Mn^II atoms are bridged by 1,4‐BDOA²⁻ groups and 4,4‐bipy ligands, forming a two‐dimensional network with Mn⋯Mn separations of 11.592 (2) and 11.699 (2) Å. Hydro­gen bonds from a water O—H group link the layers in the third dimension.
