Two organic-inorganic poly(pseudo-rotaxane)-like composite solids constructed from polyoxovanadates and silver organonitrogen polymers

Two new composite solids, [Ag(btx)]₄H₂V₁₀O₂₈·2H₂O 1 and [Ag(biim)]₂V₄O₁₁2 (btx=1,4-bis(triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, biim=1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole)), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TGA and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 contains two one-dimensional (1D) polymeric chains, {Ag₂(btx)₂}²⁺ and [Ag₂(btx)₂H₂V₁₀O₂₈]²⁻, that are assembled by supramolecular forces into an intriguing two-dimensional (2D) poly(pseudo-rotaxane) network. Compound 2 comprises cationic {Ag₂(biim)₂}²⁺ three-dimensional (3D) framework penetrated by anionic chains. The electrochemical properties of the two compounds have been studied.

Seconoriridone A: A C16-seco-noriridal derivative with a 5/5/7 tricyclic skeleton from Belamcanda chinensis

Seconoriridone A (1), a novel C₁₆-seco-noriridal with a 5/5/7 tricyclic scaffold, was isolated from the rhizome of Belamcanda chinensis. Its structure and absolute configuration were determined by NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. Notably, seconoriridone A featured a 2-butanonyl moiety with oxidative cleavage of the conventionally multisubstituted cyclohexane ring of iridals. Seconoriridone A was a mixture of C-14 epimers in the presence of hemiacetal. The plausible biosynthetic pathway for 1 was deduced.     

Metabolism of cyadox by the intestinal mucosa microsomes and gut flora of swine,and identification of metabolites by high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with ion trap/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

Cyadox (CYX), 2‐formylquinoxaline‐1,4‐dioxide cyanoacetylhydrazone, is an antimicrobial and growth‐promoting feed additive for food‐producing animals. To reveal biotransformation of CYX in swine intestine, CYX was incubated with swine intestinal microsomes and mucosa in the presence of an NADPH‐generating system and swine ileal flora and colonic flora, respectively. The metabolites of CYX were identified using high‐performance liquid chromatography combined with ion trap/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC/MS‐ITTOF). Structural elucidation of the metabolites was precisely performed by comparing their changes in molecular mass, full scan MS/MS spectra and accurate mass measurements with those of the parent drug. Finally, seven metabolites were identified as follows: three reduced metabolites (cyadox 1‐monoxide (Cy1), cyadox 4‐monoxide (Cy2) and bisdesoxycyadox (Cy4)); hydroxylation metabolite (3‐hydroxylcyadox 1‐monoxide (Cy3)); hydrolysis metabolite of the amide bond (N‐decyanoacetyl cyadox (Cy5)); a hydrogenation metabolite (11,12‐dihydro‐bisdesoxycyadox (Cy6)) and a side‐chain cleavage metabolite (2‐hydromethylquinoxaline (Cy7)). Only one metabolite (Cy1) was found in intestinal microsomes. Cy1, Cy2 and Cy4 were detected in intestinal mucosa, ileal and colonic flora. In addition, Cy3 and Cy5 were only obtained from ileal flora, and Cy6 and Cy7 alone were observed in colonic bacteria. The results indicated that N → O group reduction was the main metabolic pathway of CYX metabolism in swine ileal flora, intestinal microsomes and mucosa. New metabolic profiles of hydrogenation and cleavage on the side chain were found in colonic bacteria. Among the identified metabolites, two new metabolites (Cy6, Cy7) were detected for the first time. These studies will contribute to clarify comprehensively the metabolism of CYX in animals, and provide evidence to explain the pharmacology and toxicology effects of CYX in animals.

Calix[4]arene-thiacrown-5 di(carboxylic acid) regioisomers as metal ion extractants

A regioisomer of a previously reported p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,3-thiacrown-5 di(carboxylic acid) is prepared in which the thiacrown ring attachment sites are moved from distal phenolic oxygens of a cone p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene scaffold to proximal phenolic oxygens. The influence of this structural variation in the di-ionizable calixcrown ligand on competitive solvent extractions of alkali metal cations and of alkaline earth metal cations and single species solvent extractions of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ from aqueous solutions into chloroform is evaluated.     

A Genetically Encoded β‐Lactamase Reporter for Ultrasensitive 129Xe NMR in Mammalian Cells

Molecular imaging holds considerable promise for elucidating biological processes in normal physiology as well as disease states, but requires noninvasive methods for identifying analytes at sub‐micromolar concentrations. Particularly useful are genetically encoded, single‐protein reporters that harness the power of molecular biology to visualize specific molecular processes, but such reporters have been conspicuously lacking for in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we report TEM‐1 β‐lactamase (bla) as a single‐protein reporter for hyperpolarized (HP) ¹²⁹Xe NMR, with significant saturation contrast at 0.1 μm . Xenon chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) interactions with the primary allosteric site in bla give rise to a unique saturation peak at 255 ppm, well removed (≈60 ppm downfield) from the ¹²⁹Xe‐H₂O peak. Useful saturation contrast was also observed for bla expressed in bacterial cells and mammalian cells.     

In Situ Construction of an Ultra-Stable Conductive Composite Interface for High-Voltage All-Solid-State Lithium Metal Batteries

The garnet electrolyte presents poor wettability with Li metal, resulting in an extremely large interfacial impedance and drastic growth of Li dendrites. Herein, a novel ultra-stable conductive composite interface (CCI) consisting of Li_ySn alloy and Li₃N is constructed in situ between Li_6.4La₃Zr_1.4Ta_0.6O₁₂ (LLZTO) pellet and Li metal by a conversion reaction of SnN_x with Li metal at 300 °C. The Li_ySn alloy as a continuous and robust bridge between LLZTO and Li metal can effectively reduce the LLZTO/Li interfacial resistance from 4468.0 Ω to 164.8 Ω. Meanwhile, the Li₃N as a fast Li-ion channel can efficiently transfer Li ions and give their uniform distribution at the LLZTO/Li interface. Therefore, the Li/LLZTO@CCI/Li symmetric battery stably cycles for 1200 h without short circuit, and the all-solid-state high-voltage Li/LLZTO@CCI/LiNi_0.5Co_0.2Mn_0.3O₂ battery achieves a specific capacity of 161.4 mAh g⁻¹ at 0.25 C with a capacity retention rate of 92.6 % and coulombic efficiency of 100.0 % after 200 cycles at 25 °C.     

Porous Fe3O4 nanoparticles: synthesis and application in catalyzing epoxidation of styrene

A facile route was employed to synthesize porous magnetite via reaction of FeCl(3)·6H(2)O with N(2)H(4)·H(2)O in ethylene glycol without any structure-directing agent. The resultant Fe(3)O(4) particles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, N(2) adsorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermal gravimetric analysis. It was demonstrated that the particle size varied in the range of 40-220 nm, and the pore size of particles was centered around 2 nm. The gases produced in the formation process of the particles played key role in the formation of the porous structure. The obtained porous magnetite was used as support to immobilize Au nanoparticles with size less than 2 nm with the assistance of L-cysteine. The as-prepared Fe(3)O(4) particles can effectively catalyze epoxidation of styrene, and the immobilization of Au nanoparticles on the Fe(3)O(4) support significantly improved the activity of the catalyst.
