Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of a one-dimensional coordination polymer [Zn(Pydc)(Dppz)] n (H2Pydc = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, Dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine)

A new metal-organic coordination polymer [Zn(Pydc)(Dppz)] _n (I) (H₂Pydc = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, Dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine) was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c. The Pydc^2? ligands adopt O,N,O′-tridentate chelating and monodentate bridging coordination mode to link two adjacent Zn2+ ions to form a one-dimensional (1D) zigzag chain. The adjacent chains are further linked through hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions, forming a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework. The unit cell parameters for I: a = 7.332(3) Å, b = 36.023(9) Å, c = 7.8838(13) Å, β = 105.65(3)^○, V = 2005.1(10) ų, Z = 4.     

Study on thermodynamic properties of glyphosate by oxygen-bomb calorimeter and DSC

The combustion enthalpy of glyphosate was determined by XRY-1C oxygen-bomb calorimeter at a constant volume. The standard mole combustion enthalpy and the standard mole formation enthalpy have been calculated to be ?1702.19 and ?1478.36 kJ mol^?1, respectively. For testing the reliability of instrument, glycine and naphthalene were used as reference materials by comparing the measured values with the literature values, the absolute error and relative error are 2.58 kJ mol^?1 and 0.26 % for glycine, respectively, and these of naphthalene are 4.08 kJ mol^?1 and 0.08 %, respectively. Moreover, the constant-pressure heat capacities c _p of glyphosate were measured by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 303.15–365.15 K, and the relationship between c _p and temperature was established. These related studies can provide a thermodynamic basis for their further application.     

Excellent electrochemical performance of nitrogen-enriched hierarchical porous carbon electrodes prepared using nano-CaCO3 as template

Recently, tremendous research efforts have been concentrated on developing high-performance electrode materials to meet the ever-increasing energy and power demands in supercapacitors. Herein, we presented a high-capacity supercapacitor material based on nitrogen-enriched hierarchical porous carbons (NHPCs) synthesized by the carbonization of melamine formaldehyde resins using eco-friendly and inexpensive nano-CaCO₃ as template. The effects of carbonization temperature and template content on the porous structure and electrochemical characteristics were compared and discussed in detail. The prepared NHPCs possessed large surface area up to 834 m² g^?1 and high nitrogen content up to 20.94 wt %. As electrode material for supercapacitors, NHPCs exhibited superior electrochemical performances with high specific capacitance (190 F g^?1 at 20 A g^?1), outstanding rate capability (80 %), and excellent cycling stability (over 2,000 cycles at 5 A g^?1) in 1 M sulfuric acid media. The excellent electrochemical performances are due to the synergic effects of unique hierarchical porous microstructure, abundant nitrogen and oxygen functionalities, as well as high degree of graphitization framework.

Carprofen-imprinted monolith prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization in room temperature ionic liquids

To obtain fast separation, ionic liquids were used as porogens first in combination with reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization to prepare a new type of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) monolith. The imprinted monolithic column was synthesized using a mixture of carprofen (template), 4-vinylpyridine, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, [BMIM]BF₄, and chain transfer agent (CTA). Some polymerization factors, such as template-monomer molar ratio, the degree of crosslinking, the composition of the porogen, and the content of CTA, on the column efficiency and imprinting effect of the resulting MIP monolith were systematically investigated. Affinity screening of structurally similar compounds with the template can be achieved in 200 s on the MIP monolith due to high column efficiency (up to 12,070 plates/m) and good column permeability. Recognition mechanism of the imprinted monolith was also investigated.     

Highly porous magnetite/graphene nanocomposites for a solid-state electrochemiluminescence sensor on paper-based chips

Graphene-nanosheet-based highly porous magnetite nanocomposites (GN-HPMNs) have been prepared using a simple solvothermal method and used as an immobilization matrix for the fabrication of a solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor on paper-based chips. Highly porous Fe₃O₄ nanocrystal clusters were coated with acrylate and wrapped tightly on the skeleton of graphene nanosheets. The structures and sizes of the GN-HPMNs could be tuned by varying the proportions of the solvents ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. Then, the relatively highly porous ones with an average diameter of about 65 nm were combined with Nafion to form composite films on an electrode surface for immobilization of Ru(bpy)₃ ²⁺ (bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine). Because of their porosity, negatively charged surface, and cooperative characteristics of magnetic nanomaterials and graphene, under an external magnetic field, the GN-HPMNs ensured effective immobilization, excellent electron transfer, and long-term stability of Ru(bpy)₃ ²⁺ in the composite film. The sensor developed exhibited excellent reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 0.65 % for 30 continuous cycles. It was found to be much more favorable for detecting compounds containing tertiary amino groups and DNAs with guanine and adenine. A detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) of 5.0 nM was obtained for tripropylamine. As an application example, 0.5 nM single-nucleotide mismatch could be detected. This was the first attempt to introduce magnetic nanomaterials and an external magnetic field into paper-based chips. The sensor developed has the advantages of high sensitivity, good stability, and wide potential applicability as well as simplicity, low cost, and good disposability.
