富含微量元素中药煎剂对2型糖尿病疗效观察

为了观察富含微量元素中药煎剂对2型糖尿病（T2DM）的疗效,将门诊64名血糖控制不满意的T2DM患者分为增加富含微量元素中药煎剂组（观察组）和不增加组（对照组）,服药3个月后比较。结果表明,观察组的空腹血糖（FPG）、空腹血清胰岛素（Fins）和糖化血红蛋白（HbA1c）3月后明显下降（P〈0．01）;3月后观察组的FPG、Fins和HbA1c较对照组明显下降（P〈0．01）。可见增加富含微量元素中药煎剂对血糖难以控制的T2DM的FPG、Fins和HbA1c能够起到有效控制作用。

Cu Doping-Induced Transformation from [Ag62S12(SBut)32]2+ to [Ag62−xCuxS12(SBut)32]4+ Nanocluster

The change in the valence state of nanocluster can induce remarkable changes in the properties and structure. However, achieving the valence state changes in nanoclusters is still a challenge. In this work, we use Cu²⁺ as dopant to “oxidize” [Ag₆₂S₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]²⁺ (4 free electrons) to obtain the new nanocluster: [Ag_62−xCu_xS₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]⁴⁺ with 2 free electrons. As revealed by its structure, the [Ag_62−xCu_xS₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]⁴⁺ (x=10∼21) has a similar structure to that of [Ag₆₂S₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]²⁺ precursor and all the Cu atoms occupy the surface site of nanocluster. It′s worth noting that with the Cu atoms doping, the [Ag_62−xCu_xS₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]⁴⁺ nanocluster is more stable than [Ag₆₂S₁₂(SBu^t)₃₂]²⁺ at higher temperature and in electrochemical cycle. This result has laid a foundation for the subsequent application and exploration. Overall, this work reveals crystals structure of a new Ag−Cu nanocluster and offers a new insight into the electron reduction/oxidation of nanocluster.     

Fabrication of a family of atomically precise silver nanoclusters via dual-level kinetic control

The controllable preparation of metal nanoclusters in high yield is an essential prerequisite for their fundamental research and extensive application. Here a synthetic approach termed “dual-level kinetic control” was developed to fabricate a family of new silver nanoclusters. The introduction of secondary ligands was first exploited to retard the reduction rate and accomplish the first-level kinetic control. And the cooling of the reaction was performed to further slow the reduction down and accomplish the second-level kinetic control. A family of atomically precise silver nanoclusters (including [Ag₂₅(SR)₁₈]⁻, [Ag₃₄(SR)₁₈(DPPP)₃Cl₄]²⁺, [Ag₃₆(SR)₂₆S₄]²⁺, [Ag₃₇(SR)₂₅Cl₁]⁺, and [Ag₅₂(SR)₂₈Cl₄]²⁺) were controllably prepared and structurally determined. The developed “dual-level kinetic control” hopefully acts as a powerful synthetic tool to manufacture more nanoclusters with unprecedented compositions, structures, and properties.

CO2 Hydroboration: Impact of the Boryl Moieties on the Reactivity of Four Bis(boryl)acetal Compounds toward 2,6-Diisopropylaniline

The hydroboration of CO₂ into bis(boryl)acetal (BBA) compounds is an important transformation, since it enabled to selectively reduce CO₂ by 4e^- and to subsequently use the BBA compounds as C₁ and C_n sources. However, the influence of the nature of the boryl moieties on the reactivity of BBA compounds has not been evaluated so far. In the present study, four BBA compounds – including two new ones – were reacted with 2,6-diisopropylaniline to afford the expected imine. Significant differences in the rate of the reaction from minutes to weeks have been observed depending on the BBA used, showing the importance of the nature of the boryl moieties. Theoretical investigations enabled to propose a mechanism involving the addition of the aniline to the BBA as the rate-determining step and to determine that the steric hindrance of the BBA compounds is the main factor driving the rate of this condensation reaction.     

Grain Boundary Electronic Insulation for High-Performance All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries

Sulfide electrolytes with high ionic conductivities are one of the most highly sought for all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). However, the non-negligible electronic conductivities of sulfide electrolytes (≈10⁻⁸ S cm⁻¹) lead to electron smooth transport through the sulfide electrolyte pellets, resulting in Li dendrite directly depositing at the grain boundaries (GBs) and serious self-discharge. Here, a grain-boundary electronic insulation (GBEI) strategy is proposed to block electron transport across the GBs, enabling Li−Li symmetric cells with 30 times longer cycling life and Li−LiCoO₂ full cells with three times lower self-discharging rate than pristine sulfide electrolytes. The Li−LiCoO₂ ASSLBs deliver high capacity retention of 80 % at 650 cycles and stable cycling performance for over 2600 cycles at 0.5 mA cm⁻². The innovation of the GBEI strategy provides a new direction to pursue high-performance ASSLBs via tailoring the electronic conductivity.     

Sr0.955Al2-xBxSi2O8:0.025Eu2+荧光粉的制备、晶体结构及发光性能

通过高温固相反应在弱还原气氛下制备了Sr_0.955Al_2-xB_xSi₂O₈：0.025Eu²⁺（x=0~0.9）一系列荧光粉,研究了B（Ⅲ）取代基质晶格中的Al（Ⅲ）对荧光粉晶体结构和Eu²⁺发光性能的影响。B（Ⅲ）以类质同相取代基质晶格中Al（Ⅲ）,形成了连续固溶体。随着B（Ⅲ）取代量的增加,荧光粉的晶胞参数（a、b、c）和晶胞体积（V）呈线性递减,而晶胞参数（β）呈线性递增。荧光粉的激发光谱为位于225~400 nm的宽峰,表观峰值位于350 nm,激发峰的半高宽（FWHM）随着B（Ⅲ）取代量的增加,从90 nm减小到102 nm。发射光谱位于370~600 nm的宽峰,可拟合为409和447 nm两个峰,表观峰值位于409 nm。随着B（Ⅲ）取代量的增加,2个拟合峰位均出现蓝移且2个峰强度比呈线性递减。根据试样荧光光谱,通过Van Uitert经验公式计算得出SrAl₂Si₂O₈：Eu²⁺中Sr²⁺的配位数为9。随着B（Ⅲ）取代Al（Ⅲ）进入基质晶格,造成发光中心Eu与配体O距离增加,使得Eu²⁺所处的晶体场强度减小,发光中心Eu²⁺的5d能级分裂减小,造成Eu²⁺最低发射能级重心上移,2个拟合谱峰峰位均呈线性蓝移。     

Novel synthesis of 1,4-thiazin-2-one O-(tert-butyl) oximes and benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-2-one O-(tert-butyl) oximes in the presence of K2CO3/SiO2

A simple and efficient method was developed for the synthesis of 1,4-thiazin-2-one O-(tert-butyl) oximes and benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-2-one O-(tert-butyl) oximes from N-tert-butoxy acyl imidoyl bromides and 2-aminothiols in the presence of K₂CO₃/SiO₂. Twenty five novel compounds were readily synthesized in excellent yields using this procedure. The products possessed Z-stereochemistry with regard to the CN double bond. The reaction proceeded with initial substitution of bromine in the N-tert-butoxy acyl imidoyl bromides by mercapto groups in the presence of K₂CO₃/SiO₂, and subsequent intramolecular Schiff base formation.     

Selective Oxidation of Aldehyde over Hydroxymethyl Group Catalyzed by Gold Nanoparticles in Aqueous Phase

A protocol for selectively oxidizing aldehyde over hydroxymethyl group is developed, using biomass starch protected gold nanoparticles (NPs) as catalyst. The Au NPs show high selectivity that aldehyde is oxidized into carboxylic acid while alcoholic hydroxyl group stays intact in selective oxidation of 4-(hydroxymethyl)-benzaldehyde. The heterogeneous catalysis system is composed of soluble catalysts and insoluble substrate. The gold catalyst is prepared, preserved and applied for catalytic oxidation all in water. After reaction conditions are optimized, H\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} is found to be the best oxidizing agent with complete conversion. Besides, the gold catalyst displays good versitility for aldehyde derivatives. After reaction completes, organic components are extracted by organic solvent and gold NPs in water are separated and recycled.
