Synthesis, photophysical and electrophosphorescent properties of fluorene-based platinum(II) complexes

A series of platinum(II) complexes bearing tridentate cyclometalated C^N^N (C^N^N=6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine and π-extended R-C^N^N=3-[6'-(naphthalen-2'-yl)pyridin-2'-yl]isoquinoline) ligands with fluorene units have been synthesised and their photophysical properties have been studied. The fluorene units are incorporated into the cyclometalated ligands by a Suzuki coupling reaction. An increase in the π-conjugation of the cyclometalated ligands confers favourable photophysical properties compared to the 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine analogues. The fluorene-based platinum(II) complexes display vibronic-structured emission bands with λ(max)=558-601 nm, and high emission quantum yields up to 0.76 in degassed dichloromethane. Their emissions are tentatively assigned to excited states with mixed (3)IL/(3)MLCT parentage (IL=intraligand, MLCT=metal-to-ligand charge transfer). The crystal structures of these platinum(II) complexes reveal extensive Pt(II)···π and/or π-π interactions. The fluorene-based platinum(II) complexes are soluble in organic solvents, have high thermal stability with decomposition temperature >350 °C, and can be thermally vacuum-sublimed or solution-processed as phosphorescent dopants for the fabrication of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). A monochromic OLED with 3d as dopant (2 wt%) fabricated by vacuum deposition gave a current efficiency of 14.7 cd A(-1) and maximum brightness of 27000 cd m(-2). A high current efficiency (9.2 cd A(-1)) has been achieved in a solution-processed OLED using complex 3f (5 wt%) doped in a PVK (poly(9-vinylcarbazole)) host.     

New Guaipyridine Sesquiterpene Alkaloids from Artemisia rupestris L.

Three new guaipyridine sesquiterpene alkaloids, rupestine A, B, C ( 1 – 3 , resp.), and the new nor‐sesquiterpne alkaloid rupestine D ( 4 ) were obtained from the flowers of Artemisia rupestris L. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of sepectroscopic data and by comparison with those of the related compounds reported in the literature. In addition, the absolute configurations of 2 and 4 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses.     

光谱法和电化学法研究甲硫氨酸二肽与DNA的相互作用

利用紫外-可见光谱、荧光探针、循环伏安等方法研究了甲硫氨酸二肽(Met-Met)与DNA的相互作用.结果发现:加入甲硫氨酸二肽后,DNA-Met-Met体系的紫外光谱呈减色效应,同时甲硫氨酸二肽的加入使得EB-DNA荧光强度减弱;循环伏安法表明,DNA的加入使得甲硫氨酸二肽的峰电流减小,峰位负移;Stern-Volmer方程说明二肽对DNA-EB的作用属于静态猝灭.这几种方法的实验结果都表明两者的作用模式为静电结合,多种计算方法得到两者作用的结合常数达到103 L/mol.     

荧光探针法研究色氨酸二肽与DNA的相互作用

以溴化乙锭(EB)为荧光探针,对色氨酸二肽(Trp-Trp)与小牛胸腺DNA的作用机制进行了研究,考查了酸度、离子强度及磷酸根离子对Trp-rrp与DNA相互作用的影响;结果表明,在ph 7.2的模拟体液条件下,Tro-Trp可与DNA发生相互作用;向DNA-EB体系中加入Trp-Trp时荧光逐渐减弱,这说明Trp-Trp 能与DNA发生作用.通过ScatehaId方程进一步分析发现,Trp-Trp对DNA-EB的影响表现为混合模式:一方面,Trp-Trp能中和DNA上的磷氧负离子,导致DNA链收缩,从而影响DNA的构象,使嵌入的EB从DNA中部分游离出来,荧光减弱;另一方面,Trp-Trp与EB也存在静电位点竞争.

A novel anode supported BaCe0.4Zr0.3Sn0.1Y0.2O3−δ electrolyte membrane for proton conducting solid oxide fuel cells

A novel BaCe_0.4Zr_0.3 Sn_0.1Y_0.2O_3−δ (BSY) electrolyte membrane with thickness of 20 μm was fabricated on NiO-based anode substrate via a one-step all-solid-state method followed by a co-sintering at 1450 °C for 5 h. Chemical stability test demonstrated that BSY electrolyte showed adequate chemical stability against CO₂ and H₂O at intermediate temperature. Besides, the doping of Sn also enhanced the conductivity in humidified hydrogen. With Nd_0.7Sr_0.3MnO_3−σ cathode and hydrogen fuel, the fuel cell generated maximum output of 320, 185 and 105 mW cm⁻² at 700, 650 and 600 °C, respectively. The interfacial resistance of the fuel cell was studied under open circuit conditions and the short-term cell performance also confirmed the stability of BSY electrolyte membrane.     

Electrochemistry and Voltammetric Determination of Adenosine with N‐Hexylpyridinium Hexafluorophosphate Modified Electrode

An ionic liquid N‐hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (HPPF₆) modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated for the sensitive voltammetric determination of adenosine in this paper. Carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE) was prepared by mixing graphite powder and HPPF₆ together and the CILE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrochemical methods. The electrochemical behaviors of adenosine on the CILE were studied carefully. Compared with the traditional carbon paste electrode (CPE), a small negative shift of the oxidation peak potential appeared with greatly increase of the oxidation peak current, which indicated the presence of ionic liquid in the carbon paste not only as the binder but also as the modifier and promoter. Under the optimal conditions the oxidation peak current increased with the adenosine concentration in the range from 1.0×10^?6 mol/L to 1.4×10^?4 mol/L with the detection limit of 9.1×10^?7 mol/L (S/N=3) by differential pulse voltammetry. The proposed method was applied to the human urine samples detection with satisfactory results.     

Electrochemical Biosensor Based on Carbon Ionic Liquid Electrode Modified with Nafion/Hemoglobin/DNA Composite Film

A new electrochemical biosensor was constructed by immobilization of hemoglobin (Hb) on a DNA modified carbon ionic liquid electrode (CILE), which was prepared by using 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIMBF₄) as the modifier. UV‐vis absorption spectroscopic result indicated that Hb remained its native conformation in the composite film. The fabricated Nafion/Hb/DNA/CILE was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). A pair of well‐defined redox peaks was obtained on the modified electrode, indicated that the Nafion and DNA composite film provided an excellent biocompatible microenvironment for keeping the native structure of Hb and promoting the direct electron transfer rate of Hb with the basal electrode. The electrochemical parameters of Hb in the composite film were further calculated with the results of the charge transfer coefficient (α) and the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant (k_s) as 0.41 and 0.31 s^?1. The proposed electrochemical biosensor showed good electrocatalytic response to the reduction of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), H₂O₂, NO and the apparent Michaelis–Menten constant (K_M^app) for the electrocatalytic reaction was calculated, respectively.
