Thermodynamics analysis of indium iodide polycrystal synthesis

According to the thermodynamics analysis, the molar enthalpy change, the molar entropy increase, the Gibbs free energy change and the balance constant of indium iodide polycrystal synthesis reaction were calculated in order to evaluate the feasibility of reaction temperature on 653 K. After the temperature 653 K was applied in the synthesis experiment, indium iodide polycrystal was successfully obtained by the two‐zone vapor transporting method. The result of X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates the temperature 653K can be used for indium iodide polycrystal synthesis.     

Two copper(II)-bbtz modified Keggin and β-octamolybdate compounds captured in one-pot under hydrothermal conditions

Under hydrothermal conditions two compounds based on Keggin and β-octamolybdate, respectively, [Cu₂(bbtz)₄(SiMo₁₂O₄₀)] (1) and [Cu₂(bbtz)₄(Mo₈O₂₆)]_1/2·H₂O (2) (bbtz = 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene), were synthesized in one-pot and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, and IR spectroscopy. In compound 1, two adjacent wave-like Cu^II-bbtz lines are connected by SiMo₁₂ anions and bbtz to generate a ladder-like chain. Adjacent chains share the same Cu^II ions to build a three-dimensional (3-D) framework. In compound 2, the β-Mo₈ anions link Cu₃(bbtz)₂ subunits alternately to form a one-dimensional (1-D) chain. These chains connect each other through sharing Cu^II ions and a 3-D network is constructed. Moreover, we studied the electrocatalytic and photocatalytic activities of these two compounds. The results indicate that 1 and 2 show good electrocatalytic performance for the reduction of nitrite and bromate; they also exhibit photocatalytic properties for degradation of MB and RhB.     

In-tip nanoreactors for cancer cells proteome profiling

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteome profiling is essential for molecular diagnostics in modern biomedical study. To date, sample preparation including protein extraction and proteolysis is still very challenging and lack of efficiency. Recently tips-based sample preparation protocols exhibit strong potentials to achieve the goal of “a proteome in an hour”. However, in-tip proteolysis is still rarely reported and far from ideal for dealing with complex bio-samples. In this work, nanoreactors encapsulated micropipette tips were demonstrated as high performance devices for fast (∼minutes) and multiplexing proteolysis to assist the profiling of cancer cells proteome. Nanoporous silica materials with controlled pore size and surface chemistry were prepared as nanoreactors and encapsulated in micropipette tips for efficient in situ proteolysis. The as-constructed device showed desirable sensitivity (LOD of 0.204 ± 0.008 ng/μL and LOQ of 0.937 ± 0.055 ng/μL), selectivity, stability (two months under −20 °C), reusability (at least 10 times), and little memory effect in MS based bottom-up proteomic analysis. It was used for comprehensive protein mapping from cancer cell lines. The number of identified proteins was increased by 18%, 22%, 52%, and 52% dealing with HepG2, F56, MCF7, and HCCLM3 cancer cells, compared to traditional in-solution proteolysis based bottom-up proteomic strategy. With the enhanced performance, our work built a novel, efficient and miniaturized platform for facile proteomic sample preparation, which is promising for advanced biomarkers discovery in biomedical study.     

BF3-catalyzed oxidative tandem annulation-aromatization of naphthols with terminal aryl alkenes

A metal-free oxidative arene/alkene annulation-aromatization has been realized, which enables efficient synthesis of 2-arylnaphtho[2,1-b]furans from readily available terminal aryl alkenes and 2-naphthols. Mechanistic study suggests that this reaction proceeds via free-radical initiated tandem cyclization, dehydrogenative rearomatization and aromatization.     

Fragilolides A-Q,norditerpenoid and briarane diterpenoids from the gorgonian coral Junceella fragilis

Chemical investigation of the gorgonian coral Junceella fragilis resulted in the isolation of a new norditerpenoid fragilolide A (1), sixteen new briarane diterpenoids fragilolides B-Q (2–17), together with frajunolides H and N, and three known norcembranoids scabrolide D, sinuleptolide and 5-epi-sinuleptolide. The structures of new compounds were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including the experimental and calculated ECD data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction for the configurational assignments. The structure of fragilolide A featured an unprecedented 4,13- and 7,11-fused tetracyclic norcembranoid, while the biogenetic relationships of the briarane analogues were postulated. Frajunolide H exerted significant inhibition against a panel of tumor cell lines, and six briarane diterpenoids (3, 6, 8, 12, 16, and frajunolide N) exhibited the inhibitory effects against the HBeAg express of hepatitis B virus in HepAD38 cells. In addition, sinuleptolide and 5-epi-sinuleptolide exerted the effects to inhibit NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells, in addition to the activation of ARE and the inhibition of NF-κB expression.     

A universal blown film apparatus for <Emphasis Type="Italic">in situ</Emphasis> X-ray measurements

A setup of blown film machine combined with in situ synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction measurements and infrared temperature testing is reported to study the structure evolution of polymers during film blowing. Two homemade auto-lifters are constructed and placed under the blown machine at each end of the beamline platform which move up and down with a speed of 0.05 mm/s bearing the 200 kg weight machine. Therefore, structure development and temperature changes as a function of position on the film bubble can be obtained. The blown film machine is customized to be conveniently installed with precise servo motors and can adjust the processing parameters in a wide range. Meanwhile, the air ring has been redesigned in order to track the structure information of the film bubble immediately after the melt being extruded out from the die exit. Polyethylene (PE) is selected as a model system to verify the feasibility of the apparatus and the in situ experimental techniques. Combining structure information provided by the WAXD and SAXS and the actual temperature obtained from the infrared probe, a full roadmap of structure development during film blowing is constructed and it is helpful to explore the molecular mechanism of structure evolution behind the film blowing processing, which is expected to lead to a better understanding of the physics in polymer processing.     

Analysis of temperature and stress field in Al alloy’s twin wire welding

By analyzing the shape of twin wire welding’s arcs and the track of droplets’ transition, the phenomenon that the twin wire welding’s fore arc and rear arc all deflect to the middle of the two arcs is found. Based on this the double ellipsoid heat source model is amended, and a heat source model which can apply to calculate the twin wire welding’s temperature field is put forward. This model is testified by actual experiment of temperature sampling. By comparing the temperature field of twin wire welding and single wire welding, the results show that twin wire welding has slender weld pool the end part of which is ellipsoid, and its HAZ is narrower than that of single wire welding. So, twin wire welding can not only reduce the Al alloy generating hot crack, but can also weaken the “overaging” softened phenomenon of heat treated strengthening Al alloy. In the end, the evolving rules of 2219 Al alloy’s longitudinal and transverse stress when welded with twin wire welding are analyzed.
