Long-wavelength (red to near-infrared) emissive carbon dots: Key factors for synthesis,fluorescence mechanism,and applications in biosensing and cancer theranostics

Carbon dots (CDs), as a new member of carbon nanostructures, have been widely applied in extensive fields due to their exceptional physicochemical properties. While, the emissions of most reported CDs are located in the blue to green range under the excitation of ultraviolet or blue light, which severely limits their practical applications, especially in photovoltaic and biological fields. Studies that focused on synthesizing CDs with long-wavelength (red to near-infrared) emission/excitation features (simply named L-w CDs) and exploring their potential applications have been frequently reported in recent years. In this review, we analyzed the key influence factors for the synthesis of CDs with long wavelength and multicolor (containing long wavelength) emissive properties, discussed possible fluorescence mechanism, and summarized their applications in sensing and cancer theranostics. Finally, the existing challenges and potential opportunities of L-w CDs are presented.     

Facile synthesis of (Z)- and (E)-3-allylidene-β-lactams via thermal β-elimination of trans-3-allyl-3-sulfinyl-β-lactams

A competent synthetic route for the synthesis of novel (Z)- and (E)-3-allylidene-β-lactams is described. The strategy involves oxidation of trans-3-allyl-3-phenylthio-β-lactams 1 using sodium metaperiodate (NaIO₄) to diastereomeric trans-3-allyl-3-phenylsulfinyl-β-lactams 2 and 3, which further undergo thermal β-elimination in refluxing carbon tetrachloride to furnish (Z)- and (E)-3-allylidene-β-lactams 5 and 6 in good to excellent yields. The molecular structure of 3b has been established with the help of single crystal X-ray analysis.     

Chromatographic analysis of alkylresorcinols and their metabolites

Alkylresorcinols (AR) are phenolic lipids present in high amounts in the bran fraction of wheat and rye. AR are of scientific interest as bioactive compounds, as markers for the presence of wholegrain or bran fractions of wheat and rye in food products, and as possible biomarkers of intake for wholegrain wheat and rye. This review discusses their extraction from cereal grains, food and biological fluids, and the various chromatographic methods used in their analysis.

近自由面的多个水下爆炸气泡相互作用研究

将气泡运动阶段周围的流场假设为无黏、无旋、不可压缩的理想流体,运用边界积分法模拟流场中气泡的运动,并开发了三维计算程序,计算值与实验值吻合较好.用该方法模拟了近自由面多气泡之间的相互作用,包括同相气泡和异相气泡. 通过计算发现,气泡的周期随两气泡中心的距离减小而增大,这是由于多气泡之间存在抑制作用,特别是对异相气泡,这种抑制作用更加明显,称之为多气泡之间的抑制效应. 无论有、无自由面存在,多气泡之间均存在抑制效应,由于抑制效应导致同相与异相气泡相互耦合作用的动态特性存在巨大的差异,这些现象可为将来研究多个同时或延时产生的水下爆炸气泡的威力提供参考.      

离心机水下爆炸缩比实验原理及数值研究

对离心机水下爆炸缩比实验方法进行探究,对离心机水下爆炸缩比实验的相似理论进行了推导,通过数值计算分析,探究了原模型、离心机缩比实验及常规缩比实验的冲击波载荷、气泡载荷以及气泡动力学行为。结果表明:常规缩比实验不能对气泡行为及垂直方向的近场载荷进行准确的预报,若要保证远场气泡脉冲峰值误差小于10%,则爆距需大于9.5倍气泡最大半径。而离心机缩比实验能够对原模型进行准确的预报,以小当量装药模拟大当量装药水下爆炸整个物理过程,且冲击波和气泡两个阶段完全相似。同时,水深也可以进行几何缩比,克服了常规缩比方法的缺陷。     

“Instant Methylide” Modification of the Corey–Chaykovsky Cyclopropanation Reaction

Treatment of various electron‐deficient alkenes in DMSO with stable, dry, equimolar mixtures of either Me₃S(O)I/KOt‐Bu or Me₃S(O)I/NaH cleanly afforded the corresponding substituted cyclopropanes in good yields and short reaction times (<20 min for reactions at 50–60°C using 0.4–4.0 mmol alkene).     

Dust ion‐acoustic solitons with trapped q‐non‐extensive electrons,dissipative processes,and streaming ions

The characteristics of dust ion‐acoustic waves (DIAWs) that are excited because of streaming ions and hot q‐non‐extensive electrons obeying a vortex‐like distribution are investigated. By exploiting a pseudo‐potential technique, we have derived an energy integral equation. The presence of non‐extensive q‐distributed hot trapped electrons and a streaming ion beam has been shown to influence soliton structure quite significantly. The evolution of the soliton‐like perturbations in complex plasmas, taking into account the dissipation processes, are also investigated, obtained by numerically solving the modified Schamel, equation whose widths are dependant on electron trapping efficiency β. Our illustrations indicate that compressive DIAWs develop in this plasma. As the plasmas in reality have a relative flow, such an analysis can be used to understand the DIA solitary structures observed in the mesospheric noctilucent clouds.
