ABSTRACT

A three-dimensional (3D) anionic cadmium-organic framework, namely [(CH3)2NH2][Cd1.5(DMTDC)2] ⋅ 2DMA ⋅ 0.5H2O (Cd-MOF; DMA=N,N-dimethylacetamide), was successfully synthesized under solvothermal conditions by using a linear thienothiophene-containing dicarboxylate ligand, 3,4-dimethylthieno [2,3-b]-thiophene-2,5-dicar-boxylic acid (H2DMTDC). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that Cd-MOF exhibits a 3D anionic framework with pcu α-Po topology, featuring rectangle and rhombus-shaped channels along b- and c- axis direction. Cd-MOF demonstrates selective adsorption of cationic dyes over anionic and neutral dyes. Additionally, Tb3+-loaded Cd-MOF serves as a fast-response fluorescence sensor for the sensitive detection of Fe3+ ions with a low limit of detection (8.90×10-7 M) through fluorescence quenching.

ABSTRACT

A new 2D flexible cobalt(II) framework (Co-MOF) exhibits a reversible solid-state structural transformation upon guest molecule removal/uptake. After activation, Co-MOF-α with 1D porous channels transformed into Co-MOF-ß (0D voids) accompanied by a shift in metal and carboxylate coordination modes, the rotation of organic linkers and the contraction of interstitial spaces. Gas adsorption experiments reveal that Co-MOF-ß exhibits a two-step CO2 adsorption isotherm and close-to-open (type F-IV) isotherms for C2H2, C2H4 and C2H6 at 195 K. Moreover, it shows typical type I adsorption isotherms for the above gases and the selective uptake of C2H2 over CH4 and CO2 at room temperature.

ABSTRACT

We present two as-synthesized Fe(II)-based molecular catalysts with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands; Fe(phen)3Cl2 (1) and [Fe(phen)2(CH3CH2OH)Cl]Cl (2), and their robust catalytic properties for the conversion of CO2 to CO in DMF/TEOA (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide; TEOA = triethanolamine) solution containing Ru(bpy)32+ and BIH (1,3-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2,3- dihydro-1H-benzo-[d]-imidazole). High turnover numbers (TONs) of 19,376 were achieved with turnover frequencies (TOFs) of 3.07 s-1 for complex 1 (1.5 × 10-7 M). A quantum efficiency of 0.38% was observed after 5 h irradiated by 450 nm monochromatic light. The generation rate of CO2 and H2 were tuned by optimizing the experimental conditions, resulting in a high CO selectivity of 90%. The remarkable contribution of the photosensitizer to the total TONCO was found being 19.2% (as shown by tests under similar conditions without catalysts) when BIH was employed as a sacrificial electron donor. The product selectivity in complex 2 reached 95%, and the corresponding TONCO and TOFCO were 33,167 and 4.61 s-1 in the same concentration with complex 1 used as catalyst; respectively. This work provides guidance for future designs of simple, highly efficient and selective molecular catalytic systems that facilitate carbon-neutral solar-to-fuel conversion processes.

ABSTRACT

In this study, a novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor based on two-dimensional (2D) porphyrinic covalent organic frameworks (p-COFs) for the label-free detection of C-reactive protein (CRP) is presented. The obtained p-COFs possess high conductivity and an improved stability due to strong and rigid covalent linkages. The introduction of p-COFs hinder the recombination of electrons and holes, decreasing their band gap (Eg), thereby which improved the photocurrent conversion efficiency. Compared with pure porphyrin, p-COFs exhibited enhanced photocurrent intensity. An amplified photocurrent conversion efficiency and enhanced photocurrent results from H2O2, which act as active molecules and electron donors. As an unprecedented application of COFs in PEC bioanalysis, the detection of CRP with a PEC aptasensor is presented. The assembly of a CRP aptamer on the surface of Ag nanoparticles hinders the electron transfer, resulting in the decrease of the photocurrent response. This PEC aptasensor exhibits good analytical performances such as a rapid response, high stability, wide linear range and excellent selectivity, making COFs promising candidates for PEC bioanalysis.

ABSTRACT

Visible-light-driven conversion of CO2 to CO and high-value-added carbon products is a promising strategy for mitigating CO2 emissions and reserving solar energy in chemical form. We report an efficient system for CO2 transformation to CO catalyzed by bare CoP, hybrid CoP/carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and CoP/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in mixed aqueous solutions containing a Ru-based photosensitizer, under visible-light irradiation. The in situ prepared hybrid catalysts CoP/CNT and CoP/rGO show excellent catalytic activities in CO2 reduction to CO, with a catalytic rates of up to 39 510 and 47 330 µmol h-1 g-1 in the first 2 h of reaction, respectively; a high CO selectivity of 73.1 % for the former was achieved in parallel competing reactions in the photoreduction of CO2 and H2 O. A combination of experimental and computational studies clearly shows that strong interactions between CoP and carbon-supported materials and partially adsorbed H2 O molecules on the catalyst surface significantly improve CO-generating rates.

ABSTRACT

A universal aptameric system based on the taking advantage of double-stranded DNA/perylene diimide (dsDNA/PDI) as the signal probe was developed for multiplexed detection of small molecules. Aptamers are single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides which are selected in vitro by a process known as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment. In this work, we synthesized a new kind of PDI and reported this aggregated PDI could quench the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)-labeled fluorophores with a high quenching efficiency. The quenching efficiencies on the fluorescence of FAM, TAMRA and Cy5 could reach to 98.3%±0.9%, 97.2%±0.6% and 98.1%±1.1%, respectively. This broad-spectrum quencher was then adopted to construct a multicolor biosensor via a label-free approach. A structure-switching-triggered enzymatic recycling amplification was employed for signal amplification. High quenching efficiency combined with autocatalytic target recycling amplification afforded the biosensor with high sensitivity towards small analytes. For other targets, changing the corresponding aptamer can achieve the goal. The quencher did not interfere with the catalytic activity of nuclease. The biosensor could be manipulated with similar sensitivity no matter in pre-addition or post-addition manner. Moreover, simultaneous and multiplexed analysis of several small molecules in homogeneous solution was achieved, demonstrating its potential application in the rapid screening of multiple biotargets.

ABSTRACT

Four new charge-neutral ruthenium(II) complexes containing dianionic Schiff base and isoquinoline or 4-picoline ligands were synthesized and characterized by NMR and ESI-MS spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The complexes exhibited excellent chemical water oxidation activity and high stability under acidic conditions (pH 1.0) using (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 as a sacrificial electron acceptor. The high catalytic activities of these complexes for water oxidation were sustained for more than 10 h at low concentrations. High turnover numbers of up to 3200 were achieved. A water nucleophilic attack mechanism was proposed. A Ru(V)=O intermediate was detected during the catalytic cycle by high-resolution mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT

A 1,8-naphthalimide-Cu(II) ensemble was rationally designed and synthesized as a new turn-on fluorescent probe utilizing the 'chemosensing ensemble' method for detections of thiols (Cys, Hcy and GSH) with high selectivity over other α-amino acids at pH 7.4 in organic aqueous media (EtOH/HEPES, v/v=9:1). The recognition mechanism was attributed to the remove Cu(II) from the 1,8-naphthalimide-Cu(II) ensemble by thiols and the release of flurescence of ligand 1. Remarkable fluorescence enhancements were therefore observed in the sensing process of thiols by the 1,8-naphthalimide-Cu(II) ensemble. Furthermore, the 1,8-naphthalimide-Cu(II) ensemble was successfully applied to the fluorescence imaging of thiols in CHO cells with high sensitivity and selectivity.

ABSTRACT

A series of platinum(II) complexes bearing a chromophore-acceptor dyad obtained by reacting 4-(p-bromomethylphenyl)-6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine or 4'-(p-bromomethylphenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine with pyridine, 4-phenylpyridine, 4,4'-bipyridine, 1-methyl-4-(pyridin-4'-yl)pyridinium hexafluorophosphate respectively, were synthesized. Their photophysical properties, emission quenching studies by Pt nanoparticles and methyl viologen, electrochemical properties and photoinduced electron-transfer reactions in a photocatalytic hydrogen-generating system containing triethanolamine and colloidal Pt without an extra electron relay, were investigated. A comparison of the rates of hydrogen production for the two photocatalytic systems, one containing a metal-organic dyad and the other comprising a 1:1 mixture of the parental platinum(II) complexes and the corresponding electron relay, showed that intramolecular electron transfer improves the photocatalytic efficiency. Compared with cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes, the related platinum(II) terpyridyl complexes exhibited poor performance for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. An investigation into the amount of hydrogen generated by three platinum(II) complexes containing cyclometalated ligands with methyl groups located on different phenyl rings revealed that the efficiency of hydrogen evolution was affected by a subtle change of functional group on ligand, and the hydrogen-generating efficiency in the presence or absence of methyl viologen is comparable, indicating electron transfer from the excited [Pt(C^N^N)] chromophore to colloidal Pt. (1)H NMR spectroscopy of the metal-organic dyads in an aqueous solution in the presence of excess triethanolamine revealed that the dyad with a viologen unit was unstable, and a chemical reaction in the compound occurred prior to irradiation by visible light under basic conditions.

ABSTRACT

A series of 1,8-naphthyridine derivatives containing vinyl, 2-(2-acetylamino-pyridine-6-ethylene)-4-methyl-7-acetylamino-1,8-naphthyridine (L(1)), 2-(2-acetylamino-pyridine-6-ethylene)-1,8-naphthyridine (L(2)), 2-(2-acetylamino-pyridinyl-6-ethylene)-4-methyl-7-hydroxyl-1,8-naphthyridine (L(3)), 2-(2-diacetylamino-pyridinyl-3-ethylene)-7-diacetylamino-1,8-naphthyridine (L(4)), and 7-(2-diacetylamino-pyridinyl-3-ethylene)-4'-acetyl-pyrrolo[1',5'-a]-1,8-naphthyridine (L(5)), as well as complexes [CuL(1)(PCy(3))](BF(4))(2) (1) (PCy(3) = tricyclohexylphosphine), [Cu(2)L(1)(PPh(3))(4)](BF(4))(2) (2) (PPh(3) = triphenylphosphine), [Cu(2)L(1)(dppm)](BF(4))(2) (3) (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane), and [Cu(2)(L(1))(dcpm)][BF(4)](2) (4) (dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane, were synthesized. All these compounds, except for L(1) and L(2), were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and a comprehensive study of their spectroscopic properties involving experimental theoretical studies is presented. We found an intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen transfer during the formation of L(3) and L(4), which in the case of the latter plays an important role in the 1,5-dipolar cyclization of L(5). The spectral changes that originate from an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the form of a pi(py)-->pi*(napy) transition can be tuned through acid/base-controlled switching for L(1)-L(3). A photoinduced isomerization for L(1)-L(3), 1, and 2 having flexible structures was observed under 365 nm light irradiation. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the dinuclear complexes with structural asymmetry exhibit different metal-to-ligand charge-transfer transitions.

These compounds exhibited intense blue fluorescent emissions with a lambda(max) in the range of 380-410 nm in CH(2)Cl(2), CH(3)CN and CH(3)OH solutions, and solid-state emissions centered at 416, 463, 490 and 451 nm were observed for the compounds , , and at room temperature, respectively. The investigated fluorescence properties of associated with various metal ions showed that the fluorescence enhancement of with Cd(II) was more sensitive than with other interfering cations.
