A Highly Sensitive and Recyclable Ln‐MOF Luminescent Sensor for the Efficient Detection of Fe3+ and CrVI Anions

Two new three‐dimensional (3D) Ln^III metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) were designed and successfully obtained via a solvothermal reaction between lanthanide(III) nitrates and a semi‐flexible carbazole tetracarboxylate acid linker as a high‐performance chromophore. 1 and 2 possess porous 3D networks with channels along the a axis, and more importantly, they show a highly sensitive and selective fluorescence quenching response to Fe³⁺ and Cr^VI anions. The sensing mechanism investigation revealed that the weak interactions of Fe³⁺ with nitrogen atoms of carbazole and deprotonated carboxylic acids protruding into the pores of MOFs quenched the luminescence of 1 and 2 effectively. In addition, the competition absorption also played an important role in the luminescence quenching detection of Fe³⁺ based on 1 , and Cr^VI anions based on 1 and 2 . Therefore, 1 and 2 represent an alternative example of regenerable luminescence based sensors for the quantitative detection of Fe³⁺ and Cr^VI anions.     

An Injectable,Bifunctional Hydrogel with Photothermal Effects for Tumor Therapy and Bone Regeneration

Significant attention has been focused on bone tumor therapy recently. At present, the treatment in clinic typically requires surgical intervention. However, a few tumor cells remain around bone defects after surgery and subsequently proliferate within several days. Thus, fabrication of biomaterials with dual functions of tumor therapy and bone regeneration is significant. Herein, the injectable hydrogel containing cisplatin (DDP) and polydopamine‐decorated nano‐hydroxyapatite is prepared via Schiff base reaction between the aldehyde groups on oxidized sodium alginate and amino groups on chitosan. The hydrogel exhibits sustained release properties for DDP due to the immobilization of DDP via abundant functional groups on polydopamine (PDA). Additionally, given the intense absorption of PDA in the near‐infrared region, the hydrogel exhibits excellent photothermal effects when exposed to the NIR laser (808 nm). Based on the properties, the hydrogel effectively ablates tumor cells (4T1 cells) in vitro and suppresses tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, the hydrogel promotes the adhesion and proliferation of bone mesenchymal stem cells in vitro due to the abundant functional groups on PDA and further induces bone regeneration in vivo. Therefore, the study extends research on novel biomaterials with dual functions of tumor therapy and bone regeneration.

Alkylation of Allyl/Alkenyl Sulfones by Deoxygenation of Alkoxyl Radicals

A challenging deoxygenation of alkoxyl radicals from readily accessible alcohol derivatives was developed, affording facile synthesis of functionalized alkenes with good functional group tolerance under mild reaction conditions. Because alkoxyl radicals can easily undergo β-fragmentations or hydrogen abstractions, this new strategy for deoxygenation of alkoxyl radicals is highly valuable. Moreover, mechanistic studies revealed that the electron-neutral phosphine acts as the deoxygenation reagent.     

Advanced Polymer Designs for Direct-Ink-Write 3D Printing

The rapid development of additive manufacturing techniques, also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is driving innovations in polymer chemistry, materials science, and engineering. Among current 3D printing techniques, direct ink writing (DIW) employs viscoelastic materials as inks, which are capable of constructing sophisticated 3D architectures at ambient conditions. In this perspective, polymer designs that meet the rheological requirements for direct ink writing are outlined and successful examples are summarized, which include the development of polymer micelles, co-assembled hydrogels, supramolecularly cross-linked systems, polymer liquids with microcrystalline domains, and hydrogels with dynamic covalent cross-links. Furthermore, advanced polymer designs that reinforce the mechanical properties of these 3D printing materials, as well as the integration of functional moieties to these materials are discussed to inspire new polymer designs for direct ink writing and broadly 3D printing.     

A Highly Elastic and Reversibly Stretchable All‐Polymer Supercapacitor

Multiple stretchability has never been demonstrated as supercapacitors because the hydrogel used cannot fully recover after being heavily deformed. Now, a highly reversibly stretchable all‐polymer supercapacitor was fabricated using a developed double network hydrogel (DN hydrogel) as electrolyte and pure polypyrrole (PPy) as electrode. The DN hydrogel provides excellent mechanical properties, which can be stretched up to 500 % many times and then restore almost 100 % of the original length. To fabricate the fully recoverable stretchable supercapacitor, we annealed a free‐standing pure conducting polymer film as electrode so that the electrodes induced retardance is minimized. The as‐fabricated DN hydrogel/pure conducting polymer supercapacitors can be perfectly recovered from 100 % strain with almost no residual deformation left and the electrochemical performance can be maintained even after 1000 stretches (but not bending).     

A Plasma‐Triggered O−S Bond and P−N Junction Near the Surface of a SnS2 Nanosheet Array to Enable Efficient Solar Water Oxidation

A photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell can split water into hydrogen and oxygen with the assistance of solar illumination. However, its application is still limited by excessive bulk carrier recombination and sluggish surface oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics. Taking SnS₂ as an example, a promising layered optoelectronic semiconductor, Ar plasma treatment strategy was used to introduce a SnS/SnS₂ P?N heterojunction and O?S bond near the surface of a SnS₂ nanosheet array, simultaneously increasing the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs in the bulk and lowering the OER overpotential at the surface. The onset potential of the plasma‐treated SnS₂ nanosheet array shifts negatively to 0.16 V, and the photocurrent density at 1.23 V vs. RHE boosts to 2.15 mA cm^?2, which is 7 times that of pristine SnS₂. This work demonstrates a facile plasma treatment strategy to modulate the energy band structure and surface chemical states for improved PEC performance.

为提高川芎嗪的抗血小板凝集活性,分别以不同的二胺、2,3-丁二酮和硫辛酸为起始原料,采用溴代、水解、环化、氧化、氢化、取代等反应,通过四条路线合成了7个川芎嗪衍生物,其结构经1H NMR、13C NMR及ESI-MS确证。采用Born比浊法初步测试了化合物的体外抗血小板凝集活性,结果显示,化合物1(IC50=0. 26mmol/L)、2(IC50=0. 27mmol/L)和7(IC50=0. 21mmol/L)对由二磷酸腺苷(ADP)诱导的血小板凝集具有一定的抑制活性,优于先导化合物川芎嗪(IC50=0. 49mmol/L)。因此,在不改变川芎嗪药效团的前提下对其进行不同程度的环化,能明显提高川芎嗪的抗血小板凝集活性,此研究为后期化合物的结构修饰提供了一定的参考价值。     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Organocobalt(III) Complexes with Secondary Alkyls or Bulky Schiff Base Equatorial Ligands

Alkylcobalt(III) Schiff base B(12) model complexes with secondary alkyls or a bulky diamine in the equatorial position were synthesized and characterized. Structures have been first determined by X-ray diffraction analysis for i-C(4)H(9)Co(salen)(gamma-pic) (I), n-C(3)H(7)Co(salen)(gamma-pic) (II) and C(2)H(5)Co(SB) (III), where salen = N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneamine) dianion; SB = 1,1,2,2-tetramethyl-N,N'-ethylenebis(salicylideneamine) dianion, gamma-pic = gamma-picoline. Crystal data for I (CoC(26)N(3)O(2)H(30)): space group P2(1)/c with a = 6.661(5) ?, b = 18.612(2) ?, c = 19.533(3) ?, beta = 98.93(1) degrees, V = 2392.10 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.320 g.cm(-3), Z = 4, and R = 0.048 for 4469 measured reflections. Crystal data for II (CoC(25)N(3)O(2)H(28)): space group P2(1)/c, a = 9.609(6) ?, b = 19.169(8) ?, c = 12.995(9) ?, beta = 106.9(7) degrees, V = 2290.4 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.332 g.cm(-1), Z = 4, and R = 0.048 for 4358 measured reflections. Crystal data for III (CoC(22)N(2)O(2)H(27)): space group P2(1)/c, a = 8.318(3) ?, b = 21.579(2) ?, c = 11.572(2) ?, beta = 93.35(1) degrees, V = 2073.7 ?(3), D(calcd) = 1.314 g.cm(-1), Z = 4, and R = 0.060 for 3954 measured reflections. The crystal structure data reveal that complexes I and II display six-coordinate octahedral geometry; their Co-C, Co-N bond lengths, as well as the Co-C-C angles, are very close to those in 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin. Complex III is one of the very few compounds having five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry and observed instability of the Co-C bond.
