Exploring the rod-shaped nucleus

<正>In terms of mass, carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen, helium, and oxygen, and the second most abundant element in the human body (approximately 18.5%) after oxygen. Carbon’s formation from helium is an essential gateway in stellar nucleosynthesis, which is responsible for the galactic abundance of elements ranging from carbon to

Synthesis of 4H-chromenes by silver(Ⅰ)-catalyzed cycloaddition of ortho-quinone methides with N-allenamides

Chromenes represent an important class of six-membered heterocycles and have drawn tremendous attention in recent years. In this article, we report a convenient and practical synthesis of this heterocycle by a silver(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between in situ generated ortho-quinone methides and N-allenamides. Diverse 4H-chromenes were synthesized in good to excellent yields under very mild conditions.     

Intercalated kaolinite as an emerging platform for cancer therapy

An innovative cancer therapy strategy regarding the interface engineering of kaolinite has been designed. The exposed silanol group facilitates more guest species with high dispersion on the supports. Mn_3O_4 magnetic nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on external surfaces of the Kaolin_(C12N)with the Al–O–Mn bond for the detection of the tumor microenvironment by T1-MRI; Doxorubicin(DOX) are loaded in the interlayer space with the electrostatic interaction for chemo-treating; and KI is coated on the outer layer of the nanocomposites based on the electrostatic interaction for thyroid cancer targeting. The synergetic effects and the treatment mechanism enhanced by the interface engineering, KI@DOX-Mn_3O_4-Kaolin_(C12N)can cause remarkably low cell viability(57%, 200 μg/mL), tumor shrinking(75%, 20 μg/kg), and accumulation into the tumor tissues. The novel kaolinite based drug delivery system is expected to incorporate imaging diagnosis, targeted therapy and drug delivery into one single system for postoperative residual thyroid cancer treatment and observation for metastasis of focal area.     

Visible-Light-Induced Vicinal Dichlorination of Alkenes through LMCT Excitation of CuCl2

This work demonstrates photoredox vicinal dichlorination of alkenes, based on the homolysis of CuCl₂ in response to irradiation with visible light. This catalysis proceeds via a ligand to metal charge transfer process and provides an exciting opportunity for the synthesis of 1,2-dichloride compounds using an inexpensive, low-molecular-weight chlorine source. This new process exhibits a wide substrate scope, excellent functional group tolerance, extraordinarily mild conditions and does not require external ligands. Mechanistic studies show that the ready formation of chlorine atom radicals is responsible for the facile formation of C−Cl bonds in this synthetic process.

One-step method for preparing the experimental pure state in nuclear magnetic resonance

Quantum computing is an emerging and promising research field in modern quantum physics and is committed to accelerating traditional calculation processes using the principle of quantum mechanics[1,2].Several computation models have been proposed,including the circuit model[3],topologic quantum computation[4],adiabatic quantum computing[5],and duality quantum computing[6-8].Universal quantum computation generally includes a system initialization,evolutionary control,and a final-state readout[9],where the preparation of the initial state is a key step in the entire process.
