Design,synthesis and evaluation of a novel fluorescent probe to accurately detect H2S in lysosomes

A novel H₂S-responsive fluorescent probe Rh-Lyso-H₂S has been designed and synthesized. The Rh-Lyso-H₂S shows high sensitivity and selectivity toward H₂S, with a limit of detection of 3.36?×?10^?7?M. The reason is that Rh-Lyso-H₂S changed from a stable non-conjugated closed-ring lactone conformation with weak fluorescence to a conjugated open-ring conformation with strong fluorescence in the presence of H₂S. The Rh-Lyso-H₂S has a good lysosome-targeting capacity and is used to detect lysosomal H₂S in living cells, which is driven via the protonation of its basic morpholine moiety by acidic lysosomes. Rh-Lyso-H₂S is triggered by H₂S via removing the thiophenecarboxylate group, and the corresponding activated mechanism of Rh-Lyso-H₂S toward H₂S is proposed.     

Novel thioxanthone host material with thermally activated delayed fluorescence for reduced efficiency roll-off of phosphorescent OLEDs

A symmetrical host material, 2,7-di(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-1-yl)-9H-thioxanthen-9-one (DMBFTX), with TADF property was firstly developed. The red phosphorescent OLED based on this TADF host displays a lower EQEs rolloff of 38.8% at a luminance of 10 000 cd/m² as compared to 71.2% of commercial mCP host, which is resulted from the upconversion of DMBFTX from triplet to singlet.     

Preparation of Polylactide/Poly(ether)urethane Blends with Excellent Electro-actuated Shape Memory <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> Incorporating Carbon Black and Carbon Nanotubes Hybrids Fillers

In this work, hybrid conductive fillers of carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into polylactide (PLA)/thermoplastic poly(ether)urethane (TPU) blend (70/30 by weight) to tune the phase morphology and realize rapid electrically actuated shape memory effect (SME). Particularly, the dispersion of conductive fillers, the phase morphology, the electrical conductivities and the shape memory properties of the composites containing CB or CB/CNTs were comparatively investigated. The results suggested that both CB and CNTs were selectively localized in TPU phase, and induced the morphological change from the sea-island structure to the co-continuous structure. The presence of CNTs resulted in a denser CB/CNTs network, which enhanced the continuity of TPU phase. Because the formed continuous TPU phase provided stronger recovery driving force, the PLA/TPU/CB/CNTs composites showed better shape recovery properties compared with the PLA/TPU/CB composites at the same CB content. Moreover, the CB and CNTs exerted a synergistic effect on enhancing the electrical conductivities of the composites. As a result, the prepared composites exhibited excellent electrically actuated SME and the shape recovery speed was also greatly enhanced. This work demonstrated a promising strategy to achieve rapid electrically actuated SME via the addition of hybrid nanoparticles with self-networking ability in binary PLA/TPU blends over a much larger composition range.

Nanoparticles are able to be excreted from both apical and basolateral sides after taken up by cells. Compared to nanospheres, nanorods preferred basolateral exocytosis to apical exocytosis.     

A Bio‐inspired Cu4O4 Cubane: Effective Molecular Catalysts for Electrocatalytic Water Oxidation in Aqueous Solution

Inspired by the cubic Mn₄CaO₅ cluster of natural oxygen‐evolving complex in Photosystem II, tetrametallic molecular water oxidation catalysts, especially M₄O₄ cubane‐like clusters (M=transition metals), have aroused great interest in developing highly active and robust catalysts for water oxidation. Among these M₄O₄ clusters, however, copper‐based molecular catalysts are poorly understood. Now, bio‐inspired Cu₄O₄ cubanes are presented as effective molecular catalysts for electrocatalytic water oxidation in aqueous solution (pH 12). The exceptional catalytic activity is manifested with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 267 s^?1 for [(L_Gly‐Cu)₄] at 1.70 V and 105 s^?1 for [(L_Glu‐Cu)₄] at 1.56 V. Electrochemical and spectroscopic study revealed a successive two‐electron transfer process in the Cu₄O₄ cubanes to form high‐valent Cu^III and Cu^IIIO^. intermediates during the catalysis.     

重量法测定腐殖酸钾中钾

钻井液用页岩抑制剂腐殖酸钾（KHm）是以褐煤为原料,用KOH提取而制得的产品。它虽易溶于水,但水溶液颜色为黑色,无法直接测定钾含量。所以应首先将钾离子从黑色溶液中分离出来,才能进行测定。地质矿产部行业标准ZBD10003—89《钻井液用抑制剂腐殖酸钾》中规定先沉淀腐殖酸分离钾,再用滴定法测定钾。这种方法试验过程繁琐,且溶液不宜长期保存,特别是十六烷基三甲基溴化铵标准溶液在低于20℃的温度下就有结晶析出,滴定误差很大,甚至无法进行。本文采用高温灰化分离钾,四苯硼钠重量法测定腐殖酸钾中钾含量,简化了测定准备工作和操作步骤,节省了试剂成本。     

吸热型碳氢燃料的结焦研究Ⅰ含硫抑制剂

在连续进样微反测焦系统上考察了二硫化碳、噻酚等含硫化合物添加前后碳氢燃料S-1裂解结焦速率的变化。结果显示,两种含硫抑制剂均可明显降低燃料裂解时的结焦速率,二硫化碳的抑制效果较好,可以使初始结焦速率降低90％。同时,气相色谱的分析结果显示,含硫抑制剂对燃料裂解产物的分布情况有一定影响,促进了烯烃选择性的提高,有利于改善燃料的吸热能力。利用扫描电镜以及元素分析手段对焦形态结构和元素组成的研究结果显示,含硫抑制剂还有利于改善焦的形态结构以及氢碳元素组成,对清焦工作有一定帮助。     

Cr改性USY分子筛提高裂化催化剂的异构化性能

在催化裂化过程中,烷烃分子在酸性催化剂表面进行一系列的反应,其中氢转移反应能导致汽油中的烯烃质量分数降低,而异构化、环化、芳构化反应则改善裂化产品的分布,对提高裂化汽油的辛烷值有明显的效果。为了解决我国裂化汽油中烯烃质量分数过高的问题,目前大多数催化裂化装置都采用了降烯烃裂化催化剂,以氢转移反应活性高的REUSY分子筛作为裂化催化剂的活性组分。但由于REUSY分子筛的异构化活性较低,因此裂化汽油的辛烷值有所下降,需要对裂化汽油进行加氢异构化处理。若直接对裂化催化剂进行改性,提高其异构化反应活性,     

麻黄碱印迹聚合物合成条件对其形态及结合特性的影响

印迹聚合物合成条件对聚合物性能的影响是分子印迹技术中的一项重要研究内容。以左旋麻黄碱为印迹分子,甲基丙烯酸为功能单体,使用不同的交联剂和致孔剂合成了印迹聚合物,并对所得到的印迹聚合物的比表面积、孔结构和结合特性进行了评价。研究结果说明合成的印迹聚合物对印迹分子具有很好的亲和能力及选择性。致孔剂可以影响聚合物比表面积的大小及单体组成。氯仿是甲基丙烯酸-乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯和甲基丙烯酸-季戊四醇三丙烯酸酯聚合链的良溶剂,导致了比表面积及孔容较小的聚合物结构;而以乙腈为致孔剂得到的聚合物有较大的比表面积。共聚物中羧基含量的测定结果也说明,在预聚溶液中单体浓度相同的条件下,以不同的致孔剂进行合成得到的聚合物中甲基丙烯酸的比例不同。聚合物的比表面积及单体浓度的差别都可能导致聚合物的结合容量不同。
