Rigid rod anchored to infinite membrane

We investigate the shape deformation of an infinite membrane anchored by a rigid rod. The density profile of the rod is calculated by the self-consistent-field theory and the shape of the membrane is predicted by the Helfrich membrane elasticity theory [W. Helfrich, Z. Naturforsch. 28c, 693 (1973)]. It is found that the membrane bends away from the rigid rod when the interaction between the rod and the membrane is repulsive or weakly attractive (adsorption). However, the pulled height of the membrane at first increases and then decreases with the increase of the adsorption strength. Compared to a Gaussian chain with the same length, the rigid rod covers much larger area of the membrane, whereas exerts less local entropic pressure on the membrane. An evident gap is found between the membrane and the rigid rod because the membrane's curvature has to be continuous. These behaviors are compared with that of the flexible-polymer-anchored membranes studied by previous Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical analysis. It is straightforward to extend this method to more complicated and real biological systems, such as infinite membrane/multiple chains, protein inclusion, or systems with phase separation.     

Amphiphilic miktoarm star copolymers can self-assemble into micelle-like aggregates in nonselective solvents: a case study of polyoxometalate based miktoarm stars

It is well-known that amphiphilic star-shaped copolymers can self-assemble in selective solvents to form complicated micellar constructs as a synergistic result of both the topological constraints and relative volume fractions of the arms. Although the association phenomena of amphiphilic stars have been observed in nonselective solvents, both the structural detail and formation mechanism of these associates are not clear yet. Moreover, these experimental observations are controversial with respect to molecularly dispersed starlike copolymers in nonselective solvents as is popularly believed. To clarify these issues, we have synthesized a series of polyoxometalate-based polystyrene-poly(ethylene glycol)(PS-PEG) miktoarm star supramolecular copolymers(SEW-1–5) by coupling a Keggin-type polyoxometalate of K_4[α-SiW_(12)O_(40)] with 1,2,3-triazolium bridged block copolymers of-PS_n-b~+-PEG_mI~-(n=17, 26, 39, 57, 81; m=45) through ionic exchange reactions, respectively. TEM imaging,contact angle and ~1H NMR studies reveal that SEW-2–5 self-assemble in chloroform, THF, and toluene to create micellelike aggregates ranging from cylinder to sphere with a PS corona and a PEG core, while for SEW-1, reverse bilayers are captured with a PEG corona and a PS core. Among these aggregates, the Keggin clusters of [α-SiW_(12)O_(40)]~(4-) localize at the core-corona interfaces between PS and PEG. In terms of solvent quality, chloroform, THF, and toluene are only slightly poorer for PEG than that for PS with a relative order of chloroformTHFtoluene. These unexpected aggregates originate from the topological constraints of the chemically different arms of PS and PEG in the miktoarm stars, where the weak incompatibility between the PS and PEG arms is intensified appropriately. The presence of the reverse bilayered structures of SEW-1 is due to the magnified steric hindrance of the PEG45 arm with decreasing the molecular weight of the PS17 arm. However, to the best of our knowledge,these are the first examples clearly indicating that miktoarm star copolymers can self-assemble in common good solvents or slightly selective solvents to generate micellelike aggregates. This scenario is not only in sharp contrast to the intuitively considered behavior of unimolecular miktoarm stars in nonselective solvents, but also rather different from the conventional selfassembly behavior of amphiphilic star copolymers in selective solvents.

Three Keggin-based complexes modified by an asymmetric ligand: structures,electrochemical, photocatalytic and fluorescence sensing properties

By using an asymmetric ligand with triazole and imidazole groups, three Keggin-based complexes were obtained, [Cu(HMET)₄(H₂O)₂](PMo₁₂O₄₀)₂·2H₂O (1), [Cu₃(HMET)₄Cl₂(H₂O)₂(XM₁₂O₄₀)₂]·4H₂O (X?=?Si, M?=?W 2, X?=?Ge, M?=?Mo 3) (MET?=?4-(2-imidazol-1-yl-ethyl)-4H-[1,3,4]triazole). Complex 1 contains discrete Keggin anions and mono-nuclear [Cu(MET)₄(H₂O)₂]²⁺ clusters. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural with tri-nuclear Cu clusters linked by Keggin anions to construct a 1D chain. The 1- to 3-CPEs show electrocatalytic properties and can also act as nitrite amperometric sensors. Complexes 1–3 exhibit photocatalytic activities for degradation of MB. Complexes 1–?3 own fluorescence sensing properties for detecting Hg²⁺ ions.
