Novel rearranged acetophenone derivatives possessing diverse architectures from the leaves of Melicope ptelefolia

Melicolones C–K (1–9), nine acetophenone derivatives with three unprecedented architectures, were characterized from the leaves of Melicope ptelefolia. Among them, melicolone C (1) was a novel acetophenone analogue possessing a highly rearranged spiro skeleton. Melicolones D-F (2–4) were three novel acetophenone congeners bearing unusual octalactone ring. Melicolones G-K (5–9) were five new prenylated acetophenone derivatives featuring a 9-oxatricyclo [3.2.1.13, 8]nonane core. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis and ECD spectra. These different structures were presumably derived from the same precursor via three major biosynthetic pathways. Compounds 5–9 exerted moderate effects to reverse multidrug-resistance in MCF-7/ADR cells with reversal fold values ranging from 6.2 to 13.3.     

Functionalization of silica gel by ultrasound-assisted surface Suzuki coupling

Mesoporous silica gel was functionalized by various organic functional groups using thiol-ene coupling of surface thiol groups with 4-vinylphenylboronic acid followed by Suzuki coupling with aromatic halides. For better performance, the synthesis was conducted under sonication. The presence of surface functional groups was confirmed by thermoanalysis, FT-IR spectroscopy and characteristic reactions of these groups. Solid-phase conditions of the synthesis eliminate the risk of side reactions of boronic acids.

以中国呼伦贝尔褐煤为原料,基于工业分析、元素分析、傅里叶变换红外光谱、气相色谱-质谱联用分析,考察140-230℃预热处理对褐煤650℃等温热解氧迁移的影响。结果表明,与未经预热处理的干煤热解相比,褐煤经200℃预热处理后热解,迁移至热解水和半焦中的氧分别下降7.55%和1.43%,迁移至焦油和气体中的氧分别增加6.66%和1.61%,焦油中酚类氧增加一倍。褐煤预热过程中氢键的减少与热解焦油中正己烷可溶物所含酚类化合物的增加,经原位红外漫反射光谱分析,发现源自OH…π、OH…N和羟基自缔合氢键在预热过程中断裂形成自由OH·,导致酚类化合物中苯酚和甲酚含量增加。     

pH Resistant Ratiometric Measurement of Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Levels by Time-resolved Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Circular permutation fluorescent protein is a novel method to construct biosensors. The ratio of two excitation channels is employed to quantitatively calibrate the level of analysts. SoNar is one of them, which can be used to monitor cellular NADH/NAD⁺ levels. However, the 490 nm excitation channel of these biosensors is sensitive to pH environments, which is negative in real applications. In this work, we demonstrated that the fractional intensity ratio extracted from time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy could be used to quantify NADH levels with one excitation (420 nm) and one emission channels. The 420-nm excitation channel was pH resistant. Comparing to average lifetime, the fractional intensity ratio had a 3.2-fold dynamic range, which was much wider than average lifetimes.     

一步醇-水热法合成高效的F掺杂BiVO4光催化剂

以NH₄F为掺杂前体,采用简单的一步醇-水热法制备了F掺杂BiVO₄光催化剂。利用X射线衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、X射线光电子能谱（XPS）、紫外-可见漫反射光谱（UV-Vis）和光致发光光谱（PL）表征了这些光催化剂的物理化学性质。在少量H₂O₂存在条件下,以可见光照射下光催化降解苯酚的反应测定了这些光催化剂的催化活性。研究表明,相较于未掺杂的BiVO₄样品而言,F掺杂BiVO₄样品不仅仍保留了单斜结构,而且有更高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,更强的光吸收和更低的带隙能。在这些F掺杂BiVO₄样品中,以n_F/n_Bi的理论值为1.0且带隙能为2.43 eV的F掺杂BiVO₄样品的光催化活性最好（90 min内苯酚的降解率可达95%）。这一优良的光催化性能与其具有最高的结晶度、表面氧空位密度和光生电荷载流子分离效率,最强的光吸收和最低的带隙能有关。

Enhanced deep-red emission in donor-acceptor molecular architecture:The role of ancillary acceptor of cyanophenyl

Organic solid-state luminescent materials with high-efficiency deep-red emission have attracted considerable interest in recent years.Constructing donor-acceptor(D-A) type molecules has been one of most commonly used strategies to achieve deep-red emission,but it is always difficult to achieve high photoluminescence(PL) quantum yield(η_(PL)) due to forbidden charge-transfer state.Herein,we report a new D-A type molecule 4-(7-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-9-oxo-9 H-fluoren-2-yl)benzonitrile(TPAFOCN),deriving from donor-acceptor-donor(D-A-D) type 2,7-bis(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)-9 Hfluoren-9-one(DTPA-FO) with a fluorescence maximum of 627 nm in solids.This molecular design enables a transformation of acceptor from fluorenone(FO) itself to 4-(9-oxo-9 H-fluoren-2-yl)benzonitrile(FOCN).Compared with DTPA-FO,the introduction of cyanophenyl not only shifts the emission of TPA-FOCN to deep red with a fluorescence maximum of 668 nm in solids,but also maintains the high η_(PL) of 10%.Additionally,a solution-processed non-doped organic light-emitting diode(OLED)was fabricated with TPA-FOCN as emitter.TPA-FOCN device showed a maximum luminous efficiency of0.13 cd/A and a maximum external quantum efficiency(EQE) of 0.22% with CIE coordinates of(0.64,0.35).This work provides a valuable strategy for the rational design of high-efficiency deep-red emission materials using cyanophenyl as an ancillary acceptor.
