Polyisobutylene-supported N-heterocyclic carbene palladium catalysts

This paper describes how the nonpolar polymer polyisobutylene (PIB) can be used as a handle to prepare PIB-bound NHC ligands that are soluble in monophasic mixtures of mixed solvents but phase separable when such solvent systems are perturbed to be biphasic. The results here show that such PIB-bound NHC ligands can be used to synthesize useful palladium catalysts. In this paper, both PIB-bound analogs of an N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) heterocyclic carbene and simpler N,N′-dialkyl heterocyclic carbene ligand were prepared and were successfully used to form palladium cross-coupling catalysts. The reactivity, recycling and reusability of these catalysts has been examined.     

圆柱形锂电池液冷热管理实验研究

对92根加热棒组成的等效电池组的液冷热管理进行了实验研究,波浪形扁管穿插入电池组构成冷却通道。结果表明：电池组的最高温度和最大温差均随着冷却液流量的增大而降低,但降幅逐渐减小,冷却液泵功随着流量的增大而快速增长,综合考虑10 L/h为冷却液最佳流量;电池组的最高温度随着冷却液进口温度的降低而降低,但电池组温度的均匀性随着冷却液温度的降低而恶化;四种不同冷却液相比,体积分数为50%乙二醇溶液的电池组温度最高,均匀性最差,去离子水居中,由于石蜡的相变潜热和颗粒的微对流效应,体积分数为2%和5%相变微胶囊悬浮液对电池组的冷却效果最佳,且悬浮液浓度越高,电池组温度越低,均匀性越好。

Light‐Induced Reversible Reconfiguration of DNA‐Based Constitutional Dynamic Networks: Application to Switchable Catalysis

The light‐induced reversible and cyclic reconfiguration of constitutional dynamic networks, consisting of supramolecular nucleic acid structures as constituents and a photoisomerizable trans/cis‐azobenzene‐functionalized nucleic acid as the trigger is demonstrated. In addition, the cyclic photochemical reconfiguration of the constitutional dynamic networks guides the switchable on/off operation of an emerging hemin/G‐quadruplex DNAzyme.     

Optimized Fluorescent Probe for Specific Imaging of Glutathione S‐Transferases in Living Cells and Mice

GSTP1 has been considered to be a marker for malignancy in many tissues. However, the existing GST fluorescent probes are unfavorable for in vivo imaging because of the limited emission wavelength or insufficient fluorescence enhancement (six‐fold). The limited fluorescence enhancement of GST fluorescent probes is mainly ascribed to the high background signals resulting from the spontaneous reaction between GSH and the probes. In this work, a highly specific GST probe with NIR emission has been successfully developed through optimization of the essential unit of the probe to repress the spontaneous reaction. The novel GST probe exhibits over 100‐fold fluorescence enhancement upon incubation with GSTP1/GSH and high selectivity over other potential interference. In addition, the probe has been proved to be capable of tracking endogenous GST in A549 cells. Finally, the in vivo imaging results demonstrate that the probe can be used for effective imaging of endogenous GST activity in subcutaneous tumor mouse with high contrast.     

Electrochemical C−H/N−H Activation by Water‐Tolerant Cobalt Catalysis at Room Temperature

Electrochemistry enabled C?H/N?H functionalizations at room temperature by external oxidant‐free cobalt catalysis. Thus, the sustainable cobalt electrocatalysis manifold proceeds with excellent levels of chemoselectivity and positional selectivity, and with ample scope, thus allowing electrochemical C?H activation under exceedingly mild reaction conditions at room temperature in water.

Third generation biosensor based on myoglobin-TiO2/MWCNTs modified glassy carbon electrode

TiO2 nanoparticles were homogeneously coated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes by hydrothermal deposition, this nanocomposite may be a promising material for myoglobin immobilization in view of its high biocompatibility and large surface. The glassy carbon electrode modified with Mb-TiO2/MWCNTs films exhibited a pair of weU defined, stable and nearly reversible cycle voltammetric peaks. The electron transfer between Mb and electrode surface, Ks of 3.08 s^-1, was greatly facilitated in the TiO2/ MWCNTs film. The electrocatalytic reductions of hydrogen peroxide were studied, the apparent Michaelis-Menten constant is calculated to be 83.10 μmol/L, which shows a large catalytic activity of Mb in the TiO2/MWCNTs film to H2O2.     

Preparation of monolithic silica column with strong cation-exchange stationary phase for capillary electrochromatography

A monolithic silica based strong cation-exchange stationary phase was successfully prepared for capillary electrochromatography. The monolithic silica matrix from a sol-gel process was chemically modified by treatment with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane followed by a chemical oxidation procedure to produce the desired function. The strong cation-exchange stationary phase was characterized by its substantial and stable electroosmotic flow (EOF), and it was observed that the EOF value of the prepared column remained almost unchanged at different buffer pH values and slowly decreased with increasing phosphate concentration in the mobile phase. The monolithic silica column with strong cation-exchange stationary phase has been successfully employed in the electrochromatographic separation of beta-blockers and alkaloids extracted from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). The column efficiencies for the tested beta-blockers varied from 210,000 to 340,000 plates/m. A peak compression effect was observed for atenolol with the mobile phase having a low phosphate concentration.     

Total Syntheses of Periconiasins A–E

The first and collective total syntheses of periconiasins A–E, a group of naturally occurring cytochalasans, were achieved by a series of rationally designed or bioinspired transformations. Salient features of the syntheses include a tandem aldol condensation/Grob fragmentation to assemble the linear polyketide–amino acid hybrid precursor, a Diels–Alder macrocylization to construct the 9/6/5 tricyclic core of periconiasins A–C, and a transannular carbonyl–ene reaction to forge the polycyclic framework of periconiasins D and E.
