Silver nanoparticles immobilized onto poly(4‐vinylpyridine)‐functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: A robust magnetically recyclable catalyst for oxidant‐free alcohol dehydrogenation

A heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst with a high loading of silver nanoparticles was synthesized via the silver nanoparticles being supported onto the surface of magnetic nanoparticles coated with poly(4‐vinylpyridine). The synthesized catalyst was used in the dehydrogenation of alcohols to corresponding carbonyl compounds. A broad diversity of alcohols was converted into their corresponding carbonyl compounds in excellent yields. The catalyst was easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field and reused for seven reaction cycles without considerable loss of activity. The catalyst was fully characterized using various techniques.     

Green and one‐pot surface coating of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles with natural amino acids and biocompatibility investigation

We report the synthesis of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IONPs) coated with various natural amino acids (AAs) using a one‐pot reaction in an aqueous medium. Several AAs, which contained hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, were selected to study their effects on size, morphology and toxicity of IONPs. Functionalized IONPs were characterized using X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Furthermore, vibrating sample magnetometry analysis shows these nanoparticles have excellent magnetic properties. Cellular toxicity of IONPs was also investigated on HFF2 cell lines. The AA‐coated IONPs are non‐toxic and biocompatible. Natural AA‐coated IONPs show a potential for their development in in vitro and in vivo biomedical fields due to their non‐toxicity, good ζ‐potential and related small size and narrow size distribution.

The [U2F12]2− Anion of Sr[U2F12]

The D_2h‐symmetric dinuclear complex anion [U₂F₁₂]^2? of pastel green Sr[U₂F₁₂] shows a hitherto unknown structural feature: The coordination polyhedra around the U atoms are edge‐linked monocapped trigonal prisms, the U^V atoms are therefore seven‐coordinated. This leads to a U–U distance of 3.8913(6) Å. A weak U^V–U^V interaction is observed for the dinuclear [U₂F₁₂]^2? complex and described by the antiferromagnetic exchange J_exp of circa ?29.9 cm^?1. The crystalline compound can be easily prepared from SrF₂ and β‐UF₅ in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (aHF) at room temperature. It was studied by means of single crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR, Raman and UV/VIS spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, and by molecular as well as by solid‐state quantum chemical calculations.     

Access to the Bis‐benzene Cobalt(I) Sandwich Cation and its Derivatives: Synthons for a “Naked” Cobalt(I) Source?

The synthesis and structural characterization of the hitherto unknown parent Co(bz)₂⁺ (bz=benzene) complex and several of its derivatives are described. Their synthesis starts either from a CoCO₅⁺ salt, or directly from Co₂(CO)₈ and a Ag⁺ salt. Stability and solubility of these complexes was achieved by using the weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) [Al(OR^F)₄]^? and [F{Al(OR^F)₃}₂]^? {R^F=C(CF₃)₃} and the solvent ortho‐difluorobenzene (o‐DFB). The magnetic properties of Co(bz)₂⁺ were measured and compared in the condensed and gas phases. The weakly bound Co(o‐dfb)₂⁺ salts are of particular interest for the preparation of further Co^I salts, for example, the structurally characterized low‐coordinate 12 valence electron Co(P^tBu₃)₂⁺ and Co(NHC)₂⁺ salts.

Insights into the N-terminal Cu(II) and Cu(I) binding sites of the human copper transporter CTR1

Abstract

Copper transporter 1 (CTR1) is the main copper transporter in the eukaryotic system. CTR1 has several important roles: It binds Cu(II) ions that are present in the blood; it reduces those Cu(II) ions to Cu(I); and it subsequently transfers Cu(I) to the cytoplasmic domain, where the ion is delivered to various cellular pathways. Here, we seek to identify CTR1 binding sites for Cu(II) and Cu(I) and to shed light on the Cu(II)-to-Cu(I) reduction process. We focus on the first 14 amino acids of CTR1. This N-terminal segment is rich with histidine and methionine residues, which are known to bind Cu(II) and Cu(I), respectively; thus, this region has been suggested to have an important function in recruiting Cu(II) and reducing it to Cu(I). We utilize electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy together with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and UV-VIS spectroscopy and alanine substitution to reveal Cu(II) and Cu(I) binding sites in the focal 14-amino-acid segment. We show that H5 and H6 directly coordinate to Cu(II), whereas M7, M9, and M12 are involved in Cu(I) binding. This research is another step on the way to a complete understanding of the cellular copper regulation mechanism in humans.     

磁性凹凸棒土制备及其脱汞性能研究

对自然界中广泛存在的凹凸棒土(Atp)进行磁改性,通过沉积-沉淀法制备出磁性氧化铁改性的磁性凹凸棒土(MAtp),采用BET、VSM、XRD以及SEM等手段对其理化性质加以分析,并在固定床实验台上进行模拟烟气脱汞性能测试,研究了铁氧化物含量、反应温度和烟气成分对其除汞能力的影响。结果表明,Atp与磁性物质的复合提高了其对Hg~0的脱除能力,并且随铁氧化物含量升高,MAtp脱汞能力逐渐增强;在实验温度区间内,脱汞能力随温度的升高逐渐增强,MAtp对Hg~0以化学吸附为主;O_2、NO的添加有利于Hg~0的脱除,但Hg~0穿透率随浓度变化不显著;SO_2抑制汞的脱除,并且随浓度的增加,其抑制效果更加明显,但是当NO和SO_2共同存在时,NO能明显削弱SO_2对脱汞的抑制作用。
