A luminescent dinuclear Eu(III) complex based on 2,8-bis(4′,4′,4′,-trifluoro-1′,3′-dioxobutyl)-dibenzothiophene for light-emitting diodes

A dinuclear Eu (III) complex Eu₂(dbt)₃·4H₂O was synthesized, where H₂dbt was 2,8-bis(4′,4′,4′,-trifluoro-1′,3′-dioxobutyl)-dibenzothiophene. The complex emits the characteristic red luminescence of Eu³⁺ ion due to the ⁵D₀→⁷F_J(J=0-4) transitions under 395 nm-light excitation with a luminescent quantum efficiency of 17%. The complex is thermally stable up to 280 °C. It was found that the complex can be effectively excited by a 395 nm-emitting InGaN chip. Bright red light was obtained using the complex as light color-conversion material.

High photocatalytic activity and stability for decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde on TiO2/Al2O3 composite films coated on foam nickel substrates by sol-gel processes

A set of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) films coated on foam nickel that modified by Al₂O₃ films as transition layer (indicated as TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films) were synthesized via sol-gel route. The bulk and surface properties of the TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films were characterized by thermal gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and BET. The photocatalytic activities of TiO₂/Al₂O₃ films were investigated based on the degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The foam nickel is a promising substrate material in practical applications because of its excellent hydrodynamic properties for gas passing. The TiO₂/Al₂O₃ composite films showed much higher photocatalytic activity and stability for degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde than the onefold TiO₂ films. The significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity and stability can be ascribed to the coating of Al₂O₃ transition layer, which concentrates the target substances around TiO₂ particles and increases the specific surface area (SSA) of the substrate (the SSAs of bare foam nickel and Al₂O₃ modified foam nickel are 0.12 and 113.7 m²/g, respectively) to provide more sites for TiO₂ loading.     

反气相色谱法测定环氧树脂的表面张力和溶解度参数

采用反气相色谱(IGC)测定了环氧E51树脂在30、40、50和60 ℃下的表面张力和溶解度参数。采用Schultz法,以正癸烷、正壬烷、正辛烷和正庚烷为非极性溶剂探针,计算了不同温度下环氧E51树脂的色散表面张力。根据Good-van Oss方程,以甲苯为碱性探针,二氯甲烷为酸性探针,计算得到环氧E51树脂的极性表面张力。结果表明,环氧E51树脂的色散表面张力和极性表面张力均随着温度的升高而线性降低。根据不同溶剂探针与树脂间的Flory-Huggins相互作用参数,采用DiPaola-Baranyi和Guillet方法计算得到环氧E51树脂在不同温度下的溶解度参数,其在30、40、50和60 ℃下分别为11.78、11.57、11.48和11.14 MPa1/2。根据表面张力、内聚能和溶解度参数的相互关系,计算得到不同温度下溶解度参数的色散和极性分量。结果发现,环氧E51树脂的溶解度参数的色散分量大于极性分量,且均随着温度的升高而降低。

3,4-Dinitrobenzamide Functionalized CdTe/ZnTe Quantum Dots as a Nanoprobe for Imaging Glutathione S-Transferase in Living Cells

A novel fluorescent nanoprobe for glutathione S‐transferase (GST) has been developed by incorporating 3,4‐dinitrobenzamide (a specific substrate of GST) onto CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots. The probe itself displays a low background signal due to the strong quenching effect of the electron‐withdrawing unit of 3,4‐dinitrobenzamide on the quantum dots. However, GST can efficiently catalyze the nucleophilic substitution of reduced glutathione on the p‐nitro group of the nanoprobe, leading to a large fluorescence enhancement. Most notably, this enhancement shows high selectivity and sensitivity towards GST instead of the other biological substances. With this nanoprobe, a simple fluorescence imaging method for intracellular GST has been established, and its applicability has been successfully demonstrated for imaging GST in different living cells, which reveals that A549 cells express GST about 3 times higher than NIH‐3T3 and Hela cells.     

Analysis of Ah receptor binding affinities of polybrominated diphenyl ethers via in silico molecular docking and 3D-QSAR

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have become ubiquitous contaminations due to their use as flame retardants. The structural similarity of PBDE to some dioxin-like compounds suggested that they may share similar toxicological effects: they might activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signal transduction pathway and thus might have adverse effects on wildlife and humans. In this study, in silico computational workflow combining molecular docking and three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) was performed to investigate the binding interactions between PBDEs and AhR and the structural features affecting the AhR binding affinity of PBDE. The molecular docking showed that hydrogen-bond and hydrophobic interactions were the major driving forces for the binding of ligands to AhR, and several key amino acid residues were also identified. The CoMSIA model was developed from the conformations obtained from molecular docking and exhibited satisfactory results as q ² of 0.605 and r ² of 0.996. Furthermore, the derived model had good robustness and statistical significance in both internal and external validations. The 3D contour maps generated from CoMSIA provided important structural features influence the binding affinity. The obtained results were beneficial to better understand the toxicological mechanism of PBDEs.     

Formation and catalytic activity of spherical composites with surfaces coated with gold nanoparticles

Micelle-supported gold composites with a polystyrene core and a poly(4-vinyl pyridine)/Au shell are synthesized using NaBH(4) to reduce a mixture of micelle and HAuCl(4) in acidic aqueous solution (pH approximately 2). The template micelle with a polystyrene core and a poly(4-vinyl pyridine) shell is formed by self-assembly of block copolymer polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine). The gold nanoparticles coated onto the surfaces of the composites possess an average diameter of about 15 nm. The composites are applied to catalyze the reduction of p-nitrophenol in the presence of NaBH(4), and the results indicate that the kinetic constant of the reaction increases when the composite concentration and the reaction temperature increase. In addition, research results also indicate that composites with high content of gold show higher catalytic activity and higher catalytic efficiency.
