Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly of block copolymer through dispersion RAFT polymerization in ionic liquid

Polymerization‐induced self‐assembly of block copolymer through dispersion RAFT polymerization has been demonstrated to be a valid method to prepare block copolymer nano‐objects. However, volatile solvents are generally involved in this preparation. Herein, the in situ synthesis of block copolymer nano‐objects of poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐polystyrene (PEG‐b‐PS) in the ionic liquid of 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIN][PF₆]) through the macro‐RAFT agent mediated dispersion polymerization is investigated. It is found that the dispersion RAFT polymerization of styrene in the ionic liquid of [BMIN][PF₆] runs faster than that in the alcoholic solvent, and the dispersion RAFT polymerization in the ionic liquid affords good control over the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution of the PEG‐b‐PS diblock copolymer. The morphology of the in situ synthesized PEG‐b‐PS diblock copolymer nano‐objects, e.g., nanospheres and vesicles, in the ionic liquid is dependent on the polymerization degree of the solvophobic block and the concentration of the fed monomer, which is somewhat similar to those in alcoholic solvent. It is anticipated that the dispersion RAFT polymerization in ionic liquid broads a new way to prepare block copolymer nano‐objects. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Engineering of chiral nanomaterials for biomimetic catalysis

Chiral nanomaterial-based biomimetic catalysts can trigger a similar biological effect to natural catalysts and exhibit high performance in biological applications. Especially, their active center similarity and substrate selectivity promoted their superior biocatalytic activity. Here, modification of critical elements, such as size, morphology, nanocrystal facets, chiral surface and active sites, for controlling the catalytic efficiency of individual chiral nanoparticles (NPs) and chiral nanoassemblies has been demonstrated, which had a synergistic effect on overcoming the defects of pre-existing nanocatalysts. Noticeably, application of external forces (light or magnetism) has resulted in obvious enhancement in biocatalytic efficiency. Chiral nanomaterials served as preferable biomimetic nanocatalysts due to their special structural configuration and chemical constitution advantages. Furthermore, the current challenges and future research directions of the preparation of high-performance bioinspired chiral nanomaterials for biological applications are discussed.

Synthesis of phosphorylated calix[4]arene derivatives for the design of solid phases immobilising uranyl cations

With the aim of developing supports for uranyl cations immobilisation, new 1,3-alternate calix[4]arenes bearing both phosphonic acid functions as chelating sites and N-succinimide-4-oxabutyrate as the anchoring arm were synthesised in good yields. The coupling of such calixarenes to a gel was performed and a successful immobilisation of uranyl cations was obtained.     

Evaluation of the microhaplotype markers in kinship analysis

Microhaplotype markers are emerging forensic genetic markers, which may supplement existing markers. Consisting of two to four SNPs with an extent of <200 bp, microhaplotype can be genotyped through massively parallel sequencing technology. Articles that have been published suggested that microhaplotype markers have good application prospect in forensics. Multiallelic haplotype loci are potentially important in certain forensic works, as the stutter and high mutation rate of short tandem repeats and the low polymorphism of single nucleotide polymorphisms may limit the power of these two kind of regular markers. In this study, we explored the potential of 11 new microhaplotype loci in kinship analysis. The results suggested that these loci have relatively high polymorphic information in different populations worldwide and relatively high system effectiveness in the kinship analysis. Microhaplotypes have potential for forensic kinshipg analysis.     

A convenient cyclopropanation process of oxindoles via bromoethylsulfonium salt

A practical convenient conversion of oxindoles into the corresponding spirocyclopropyl oxindoles is achieved efficiently using bromoethylsulfonium salt, which is easily prepared on a large scale and is stable crystalline. This reaction of bromoethylsulfonium salt with different substituted unprotected oxindoles proceeded under mild condition and provided moderate yields.
