Platinum oxide catalyzed silylation of aryl halides with triethylsilane: an efficient synthetic route to functionalized aryltriethylsilanes

[STRUCTURE: SEE TEXT] The first platinum-catalyzed selective silylation of aryl halides including aryl iodides and bromides having an electron-withdrawing group is described. The reaction takes place rapidly in NMP with triethylsilane as a silicon source and sodium acetate to provide functionalized aryltriethylsilanes in moderate to good yields. Heteroaromatic halides also were found to be readily silylated with triethylsilane. The procedure is chemoselective and tolerates a wide variety of functional groups.     

Cold-catalytic antitumor immunity with pyroelectric black phosphorus nanosheets

Catalytic nanomedicine with the innate features of catalysts brings incomparable properties to biomedicine over traditional drugs. The temperature-dependent activity of catalysts provides catalytic nanomedicines with a facile strategy to control their therapeutic performance. Tuning catalytic nanomedicine by cold treatment (4–37 °C) is safe and desired for practical applications, but there is a lack of cold-catalytic platforms. Herein, with black phosphorus (BP) as a model pyroelectric nanocatalyst, we explored the potential of cold-catalysts for antitumor therapy. BP nanosheets with pyro-catalytic activity catalyze the generation of oxidative stress to activate antitumor immunity under cold treatment. Due to the cold-catalytic immunomodulation, immune memory was successfully achieved to prevent tumor metastasis and recurrence. Considering the safety and conductive depth (>10 mm) of cold in the body, pyroelectric nanocatalysts open up exciting opportunities for the development of cold-catalytic nanomedicine.

Cold-catalytic nanomedicine and the concept of cold-catalytic immunotherapy are explored with black phosphorus as a model cold catalyst.     

纳米Pd粉的热稳定性研究

采用化学液相合成法制备了纳米Pd,热稳定性研究表明，温度在773～523K内，样品的平均粒径与退火温度T之间服从Arrhenius关系，且平均粒径与退火时间t之间满足经验公式=ktn。纳米Pd的热稳定范围T≤250℃。计算得到纳米Pd颗粒生长的表观激活能为0.15eV,远比纳米复合材料的生长激活能小（约为1eV）。故纳米Pd颗粒-极易长大，热稳定范围非常窄。
