Synthesis and properties of a thiophene-substituted diaza[7]helicene for application as a blue emitter in organic light-emitting diodes

Carbazole-based diaza[7]helicene substituted by thiophene groups, 2,12-dithiophene-5,15-dihexyl-5,15-diaza[7]helicene (6), was synthesised successfully and confirmed by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, High Resolution Mass Spectrometry, Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry. Compound 6 exhibited good solubility and excellent thermal stability with no melting point and a high decomposition temperature of 453.64 °C. A doped device with a structure of ITO/NPB (50 nm)/CBP: 10% 6 (30 nm)/Bphen (20 nm)/Mg:Ag (150 nm)/Ag (50 nm) emitted the blue light at 460 nm with Commission Internationale de LEclairage (CIE) coordinate of (0.176, 0.26). The maximum brightness and external quantum efficiency (EQE) were 2306 cd m^?2 and 0.41%, respectively.     

Fluorometric determination of the activity and inhibition of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase via in-situ formation of copper nanoclusters using enzymatically generated DNA as template

The authors report on a simple strategy for sensitive determination of the activity of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) using copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) as fluorescent probes. TdT-polymerized long chain AT-rich DNA serves as a template for the synthesis of the CuNCs, and TdT activity is detected fluorometrically at excitation/emission wavelengths of 340/570 nm. The protocol relies on the target-triggered formation of dsDNA polymers and in-situ formation of CuNCs. The calibration plot is linear in the 0.7 to 14 U L^?1 activity range, with a 60 mU L^?1 detection limit (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3). The protocol was applied to determine TdT activity in acute lymphatic leukemia cells. This approach is selective, simple, convenient and cost-efficient because a complex DNA sequence is not required. In our perception, the method provides a viable new platform for monitoring the activity and inhibition of TdT.

Vulgarisins B–D,three novel diterpenoids with a rare skeleton isolated from Prunella vulgaris Linn

Three new diterpenoids, vulgarisins B–D (1–3), have been isolated from a medicinal plant Prunella vulgaris Linn. These diterpenoids contain a rare 5/6/4/5 fused tetracyclic ring skeleton. Their structures were determined through the analysis of spectroscopic data, and the absolute configuration were further confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction as well as CD analysis. All the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity activity, vulgarisins B (1) and C (2) demonstrated modest cytotoxicity activity against human lung carcinoma A549 cell line.     

一种铈（Ⅲ）配合物对含石墨粘结涂层耐蚀性的影响

为了改善含石墨粘结涂层的耐蚀性，首先对这种涂层在腐蚀环境中耐蚀性差的原因进行了分析，然后将二正丁基磷酸、ＣｅＦ＿３、Ｓｂ＿２Ｏ＿３和一种Ｃｅ（Ⅲ）配合物Ｃｅ（ＮＯ＿３）（Ｃ＿８Ｈ＿（１８）ＰＯ＿４）＿２分别添加于酚醛环氧－ＭｏＳ＿２－石墨粘结涂层中，考察了它们对这种涂层耐蚀性的影响，并对含Ｃｅ（ＮＯ＿３）（Ｃ＿８Ｈ＿（１８）ＰＯ＿４）＿２的涂层和空白样涂层进行了表面分析。盐雾试验表明，添加Ｃｅ（ＮＯ＿３）（Ｃ＿８Ｈ＿（１８）ＰＯ＿４）＿２可以有效地抑制涂层中ＭｏＳ＿２的氧化和由石墨所引起的金属底材之电化学腐蚀；根据Ｘ射线光电子能谱分析结果可知，添加Ｃｅ（ＮＯ＿３）（Ｃ＿８Ｈ＿（１８）ＰＯ＿４）＿２之所以能够提高含石墨粘结涂层的耐蚀性，应当归因于它在ＭｏＳ＿２晶体表面和金属底材表面的吸附。因此，Ｃｅ（Ⅲ）配合物Ｃｅ（ＮＯ＿３）（Ｃ＿８Ｈ＿（１８）ＰＯ＿４）＿２是含石墨粘结涂层的一种实用性能良好的新型防腐添加剂。
