Dispersion of Graphene Sheets in Aqueous Solution by Oligodeoxynucleotides

Applications of graphene sheets in the fields of biosensors and biomedical devices are limited by their insolubility in water. Consequently, understanding the dispersion mechanism of graphene in water and exploring an effective way to prepare stable dispersions of graphene sheets in water is of vital importance for their application in biomaterials, biosensors, biomedical devices, and drug delivery. Herein, a method for stable dispersion of graphene sheets in water by single‐stranded oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODNs) is studied. Owing to van der Waals interactions between graphene sheets, they undergo layer‐to‐layer (LtL) aggregation in water. Molecular dynamics simulations show that, by disrupting van der Waals interaction of graphene sheets with ssODNs, LtL aggregation of graphene sheets is prevented, and water molecules can be distributed stably between graphene sheets. Thus, graphene sheets are dispersed stably in water in the presence of ssODNs. The effects of size and molarity of ssODNs and noncovalent modification of graphene sheets are also discussed.     

A Bipodal Dicyano Anchor Unit for Single‐Molecule Spintronic Devices

The conductance through single 7,7,8,8‐tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) connected to gold electrodes is studied with the nonequilibrium Green’s function method combined with density functional theory. The aim of the study is to derive the effect of a dicyano anchor group, ?C(CN)₂, on energy level alignment between the electrode Fermi level and a molecular energy level. The strong electron‐withdrawing nature of the dicyano anchor group lowers the LUMO level of TCNQ, resulting in an extremely small energy barrier for electron injection. At zero bias, electron transfer from electrodes easily occurs and, as a consequence, the anion radical state of TCNQ with a magnetic moment is formed. The unpaired electron in the TCNQ anion radical causes an exchange splitting between the spin‐α and spin‐β transmission spectra, allowing the single TCNQ junction to act as a spin‐filtering device.

Asymmetric Synthesis, Antifungal Activity and Molecular Modeling of Iodiconazole Isomers

Iodiconazole is a novel antifungal agent that was developed in its racemic form. In order to investigate the ef- fects of the chiral center on the antifungal activity, R- and S-isomers of iodiconazole were prepared on the basis of the asymmetric Sharpless epoxidation. （S）-Iodiconazole was proved to have better antifungal activity than the （R）- isomer. The binding modes of the two isomers with lanosterol 14~z-demethylase were clarified by molecular dock- ing.     

Theoretical Study on the Hydrogen Bonding Interactions in Complexes of 5‐Hydroxytryptamine with Water

The energies, geometries and harmonic vibrational frequencies of 1:1 5‐hydroxytryptamine‐water (5‐HT‐H₂O) complexes are studied at the MP2/6‐311++G(d,p) level. Natural bond orbital (NBO), quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analyses and the localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis (LMO‐EDA) were performed to explore the nature of the hydrogen‐bonding interactions in these complexes. Various types of hydrogen bonds (H‐bonds) are formed in these 5‐HT‐H₂O complexes. The intermolecular C4H5^5‐HT···O^w H‐bond in HTW3 is strengthened due to the cooperativity, whereas no such cooperativity is found in the other 5‐HT‐H₂O complexes. H‐bond in which nitrogen atom of amino in 5‐HT acted as proton donors was stronger than other H‐bonds. Our researches show that the hydrogen bonding interaction plays a vital role on the relative stabilities of 5‐HT‐H₂O complexes.

A series of triazole and benzotriazole derivatives as novel p90 ribosomal S6 protein kinase 2 （RSK2） inhibitors were designed and synthesized. The in vitro activities against RSK2 were evaluated, and among 14 compounds, compounds 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 exhibited enzyme IC50 values of 8.91, 2.86, 3.19, 3.05, 4.49 and 2.09 μmol/L re- spectively. The proposed binding modes were simulated using molecular docking method, and the docking results coupled with the stmcture-activi1：y relationship （SAR） analysis indicated that all these active compounds bound to the RSK2 ATP binding site at NTKD, and the electron-donating groups on the 4-position of phenyl were the deter- minant point for the inhibitory activity.     

介孔碳纳米纤维-硫作为锂硫电池正极材料

锂硫电池的商用化受到硫和多硫化锂低的电导率、多硫化锂在有机电解液中的溶解、放电过程中硫的体积膨胀等因素的制约。我们通过自模板法制备了具有石墨化孔壁结构的介孔碳纳米纤维（MCNF）,并利用这种结构将硫和多硫化锂封装在碳骨架内。具有石墨化孔壁结构的一维MCNF能够在循环中为硫和多硫化锂提供良好的导电网络。MCNF中小的介孔能够抑制长链多硫化锂的扩散。另外,MCNF大的孔容能够负载比较多的硫,并且能够为硫的放电膨胀提供足够的纳米空间。本工作制备的MCNF-硫纳米复合材料在0.8A·g^-1的电流密度下,经过100次循环后仍有820mAh·g^-1的比容量。     

CO2在氨基改性MIL-101(Cr)中吸附的分子模拟

采用实验与分子模拟结合的方法研究298 K下CO₂在氨基改性得到的MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂和MIL-101（Cr）-ED（ED：乙二胺）上的吸附性能。比较MIL-101（Cr）、MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂和MIL-101（Cr）-ED的吸附等温线与吸附热的结果,表明采用直接合成改性法得到的MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂比采用合成后再改性得到的MIL-101（Cr）-ED有更高的CO₂吸附容量。进一步比较密度分布图和径向密度分布曲线,分析CO₂在氨基改性MIL-101（Cr）中的吸附位,表明在低压下CO₂首先吸附在MIL-101（Cr）微孔的超级四面体中,随着吸附压力的增大逐渐填充到更大的孔中。氨基的存在增加了CO₂的吸附位点,使MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂具有较高CO₂吸附容量;同时MIL-101（Cr）-ED中的ED分子的存在增加了CO₂的吸附位点,使MIL-101（Cr）-ED也具有较高CO₂吸附容量;但是MIL-101（Cr）-ED中的ED分子占据了MIL-101（Cr）中Cr的吸附位点,使Cr对CO₂的吸附强度减弱,同时可吸附位点少于MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂,导致其对CO₂的吸附容量少于MIL-101（Cr）-NH₂。
