Odd/even effect in the chain length on the enthalpy of micellization of gemini surfactants in aqueous solution

The micellization properties of cationic symmetric gemini surfactants, [CmH(2m+1)(CH3)2N(CH2)6N(CH3)2CmH(2m+1)]Br2 (designated as CmC6CmBr2, with m = 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 16), has been investigated by isothermal titration microcalorimetry. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and enthalpy of micellization (DeltaHmic) were determined from calorimetric titration curves. The linear decreasing of log CMC with increasing the length of the hydrophobic chain is consistent with an increase in the hydrophobicity of the alkyl chain. Interestingly, with increasing the length of the alkyl chain, the DeltaHmic values of the surfactants with even numbered alkyl chains vary from endothermic to exothermic, whereas the DeltaHmic values of the surfactants with odd numbered alkyl chains are all endothermic and tend to become more endothermic. The pronounced even/odd effect in DeltaHmic is discussed with respect to the "donor-acceptor" interaction.     

Exploration of Antimicrobial Ingredients in Psoralea corylifolia L. Seed and Related Mechanism against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus

With the abuse of antibiotics, bacterial antibiotic resistance is becoming a major public healthcare issue. Natural plants, especially traditional Chinese herbal medicines, which have antibacterial activity, are important sources for discovering potential bacteriostatic agents. This study aimed to develop a fast and reliable method for screening out antimicrobial compounds targeting the MRSA membrane from Psoralea corylifolia Linn. seed. A UPLC-MS/MS method was applied to identify the prenylated flavonoids in major fractions from the extracts of Psoralea corylifolia Linn. seed. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of different fractions and compounds. The morphological and ultrastructural changes of MRSA were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The membrane-targeting mechanism of the active ingredients was explored by membrane integrity assays, membrane fluidity assays, membrane potential assays, ATP, and ROS determination. We identified eight prenylated flavonoids in Psoralea corylifolia Linn. seed. The antibacterial activity and mechanism studies showed that this type of compound has a unique destructive effect on MRSA cell membranes and does not result in drug resistance. The results revealed that prenylated flavonoids in Psoralea corylifolia Linn. seeds are promising candidates for the development of novel antibiotic agents to combat MRSA-associated infections.     

Microcalorimetric study on micellization of nonionic surfactants with a benzene ring or adamantane in their hydrophobic chains

The micellization of a novel family of nonionic surfactants poly(oxyethylene) glycol alkyl ethers has been studied by microcalorimetry. One of the surfactants has adamantane, and the other nonionic surfactants have a benzene ring in their hydrophobic chains, which moves from the terminal of the hydrophobic chain toward the headgroup. Moreover, the alkyl chain of the nonionic surfactants is straight or branched. Both the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the thermodynamic parameters associated with the micelle formation have been obtained. The cmc decreases and the enthalpy of micelle formation (deltaH(mic)) becomes less positive gradually as the length of hydrophobic chain increases, whereas the values of cmc and deltaH(mic) tend to increase for the surfactants with a longer ethylene oxide chain. However, the deltaH(mic) value of the surfactant with seven carbon atoms in a hydrophobic chain is more positive than that of the surfactant with six carbon atoms in a hydrophobic chain. Comparing with the nonionic surfactant with a methylene hydrophobic chain, the surfactants with benzene rings and adamantane groups have larger cmc values and the cmc values increase with the size of the groups. Furthermore, moving the phenyl group from the terminal of the hydrophobic chain to the neighbor of the hydrophilic headgroup leads to the decreased cmc. Both the variation of hydrophobic interaction from the movement of phenyl group and pi-pi interaction among adjacent phenyl groups affect deltaH(mic) values.     

A colorimetric squaraine-based probe and test paper for rapid naked eyes detection of copper ion (II)

A colorimetric probe N,N’-bis(2-methoxy-ethyl)-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-squaraine (MOESQ) with H₂O solubility was synthesized to detect Cu²⁺. MOESQ exhibits good selectivity, high sensitivity and fast UV-Vis response toward Cu²⁺ over other competing ions in CH₃CN. The detection limit of MOESQ for Cu²⁺ in CH₃CN can reach 1.88?×?10^?7?molL^?1. By adsorbing MOESQ on the chromatography paper, a colorimetric test paper for Cu²⁺ was prepared, which could detect Cu²⁺ with the color change from blue to faint yellow even in the limit of detection concentration of 10^?6?molL^?1.

A Universal Graphene Quantum Dot Tethering Design Strategy to Synthesize Single-Atom Catalysts

A general graphene quantum dot-tethering design strategy to synthesize single-atom catalysts (SACs) is presented. The strategy is applicable to different metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) and supports (0D carbon nanosphere, 1D carbon nanotube, 2D graphene nanosheet, and 3D graphite foam) with the metal loading of 3.0–4.5 wt %. The direct transmission electron microscopy imaging and X-ray absorption spectra analyses confirm the atomic dispersed metal in carbon supports. Our study reveals that the abundant oxygenated groups for complexing metal ions and the rich defective sites for incorporating nitrogen are essential to realize the synthesis of SACs. Furthermore, the carbon nanotube supported Ni SACs exhibits high electrocatalytic activity for CO₂ reduction with nearly 100 % CO selectivity. This universal strategy is expected to open up new research avenues to produce SACs for diverse electrocatalytic applications.
