The controlled visible-light mediated conversion of nitroaromatics to versatile nitrogen-containing intermediates is of great significance but still remains a challenge. Herein, we report for the first time a facile visible-light-initiated one-pot strategy for clean and efficient synthesis of nitrone from nitrobenzene and benzyl alcohol. It integrates the controlled photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene to phenylhydroxylamine by photogenerated electrons with the selective photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde by photoinduced holes over a low-cost CdS photocatalyst with a suitable reduction capability, followed by spontaneous condensation of the as-formed hydroxylamine and aldehyde at ambient pressure and room temperature. Furthermore, by modulating cocatalyst and illumination time, for the conversion of the same reactants, the other two useful nitrogen-containing compounds, imine and secondary amine, were also successfully synthesized. The reaction mechanisms for flexible synthesis of the three target products are proposed.

Salt stress in soil is a critical constraint that affects the production of rice. Salt stress hinders plant growth through osmotic stress, ionic stress, and a hormonal imbalance (especially ethylene), therefore, thoughtful efforts are needed to devise salt tolerance management strategies. 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an ethylene action inhibitor, which could significantly reduce ethylene production in crops and fruits. However, 1-MCPs response to the physiological, biochemical and antioxidant features of rice under salt stress, are not clear. The present study analyzed whether 1-MCP could modulate salt tolerance for different rice cultivars. Pot culture experiments were conducted in a greenhouse in 2016–2017. Two rice cultivars, Nipponbare (NPBA) and Liangyoupeijiu (LYP9) were used in this trial. The salt stress included four salt levels, 0 g NaCl/kg dry soil (control, CK), 1.5 g NaCl/ kg dry soil (Low Salt stress, LS), 4.5 g NaCl/kg dry soil (Medium Salt stress, MS), and 7.5 g NaCl/kg dry soil (Heavy Salt stress, HS). Two 1-MCP levels, 0 g (CT) and 0.04 g/pot (1-MCP) were applied at the rice booting stage in 2016 and 2017. The results showed that applying 1-MCP significantly reduced ethylene production in rice spikelets from LYP9 and NPBA by 40.2 and 23.9% (CK), 44.3 and 28.6% (LS), 28 and 25.9% (MS), respectively. Rice seedlings for NPBA died under the HS level, while application of 1-MCP reduced the ethylene production in spikelets for LYP9 by 27.4% compared with those that received no 1-MCP treatment. Applying 1-MCP improved the photosynthesis rate and SPAD value in rice leaves for both cultivars. 1-MCP enhanced the superoxide dismutase production, protein synthesis, chlorophyll contents (chl a, b, carotenoids), and decreased malondialdehyde, H2O2, and proline accumulation in rice leaves. Application of 1-MCP also modulated the aboveground biomass, and grain yield for LYP9 and NPBA by 19.4 and 15.1% (CK), 30.3 and 24% (LS), 26.4 and 55.4% (MS), respectively, and 34.5% (HS) for LYP9 compared with those that received no 1-MCP treatment. However, LYP9 displayed a better tolerance than NPBA. The results revealed that 1-MCP could be employed to modulate physiology, biochemical, and antioxidant activities in rice plants, at different levels of salt stress, as a salt stress remedy.

In order to study a short-term and efficient technology by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in blueberry, the fruit was treated with 0, 0.5, 1 and 3 μL/L 1-MCP for 2 h then stored at 25 ± 1 °C with 40–50% relative humidity (RH) for 9 d. The weight loss, decay incidence, respiration rate, firmness, soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acid (TA), Brix-acid ratio (BAR), sensory evaluation, content of cell wall polysaccharide, activities of cell wall composition-related enzymes and energy metabolism in blueberry were determined during shelf life. The results showed that the weight loss, decay incidence and respiration rate were reduced by 3 μL/L 1-MCP treatment. Compared to other groups, the firmness, the content of TA and anthocyanins were maintained in 3 μL/L 1-MCP-treated blueberry. In contrast, the SSC and BAR were lower compared to those untreated. However, the sensory evaluation of “taste” and “aroma” value showed no differences in all fruits. The content of protopectin, cellulose and hemicellulose was higher in 1-MCP-treated blueberry, accompanied by a decrease in polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin methyl esterase (PME) activity. The content of water-soluble pectin (WSP) was lower in 1-MCP-treated blueberry than untreated ones. The activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD), cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) was higher in 1-MCP-treated blueberry than the untreated, which induced more serious lignification. The results of energy metabolism also showed that the 1-MCP treatment could ensure sufficient intracellular energy supply. The 3 μL/L 1-MCP treatment could maintain the shelf quality and retard decomposition of cell wall polysaccharide by ensuring sufficient intracellular energy supply and inhibiting cell wall-degrading enzymes activity. Taken together, this study highlighted an efficient and short-term 1-MCP treatment technique.Keywords:blueberry;1-MCP;cell wall polysaccharide;shelf life;karst fruit

During post-harvest storage, the cell wall properties are closely associated with the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the fruit. The degradation of pectin in the cell walls and middle lamella is critical to these properties. The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) combined treatment on the pectin degradation, texture, and peel color of Eureka lemon were investigated during post-harvest storage. The in-situ light microscope analysis, rapid method, and FTIR test were used to investigate the spatial distribution, the pectin content, and its degradation. The results showed a reduction in pectin degradation, by 42 d the CaCl₂ and 1-MCP combined treated fruits presented a 36.7% pectin content loss which was lower than the control which was 48.3%. The treated fruits significantly exhibited enhanced textural properties, delayed weight loss, higher total acids, and improvement of other physicochemical properties in comparison to the control. The treatment deaccelerated the fruit peel color change from green to yellow and also had a better visual appearance on the final day. Overall, the results suggest that the control treatment for pectin degradation can reduce the fruit texture decline and peel color change and maintain a good visual appearance. The influence of pectin degradation on the texture and physicochemical properties of lemon provides a theoretical basis for fruit storage optimization, quality control, and shelf-life extension.

Summary The effect of carnauba wax-based nanoemulsion coating-1 (NC-1) combined with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on the storage of honey peach fruit ‘Yulupantao’ for 28 days under 0 ± 0.5 °C, and 90% RH conditions was studied. The results showed that NC-1 or 1-MCP treatment alone and in combination were proved to be more effective in maintaining fruit qualities compared to the control group with no treatment. However, the application with the combination of NC-1 and 1-MCP treatment had the most significant effect on reducing mass loss and decay rate, maintaining firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid (AsA) and titratable acid (TA) contents, suppressing malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation and conductivity ascend. Moreover, the activities of peroxidase (POD) were maintained, and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) were effectively suppressed in NC-1, 1-MCP and combined treatment than that of control. Therefore, the combination of NC-1 and 1-MCP treatment could be an efficient way to maintain the qualities of peach fruit during low-temperature storage after harvest.

Graphical Alternative bipropellants : A series of triaminocyclopropenium cation based hypergolic ionic liquids were designed and synthesized. These ionic liquids demonstrate promise as potential alternatives to toxic hydrazine derivatives in liquid bipropellant formulations (see figure). A novel family of hydrophobic triaminocyclopropenium cation based ionic liquids have been synthesized, and their structures and physicochemical properties characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and hypergolic tests. The experimental results showed that all of these ionic liquids exhibited the expected hypergolic reactivity with the oxidizer white fuming nitric acid. Among them, the hypergolic ionic liquid based on the cyanoimidazolylborohydride anion showed excellent integrated properties, including high decomposition temperature (194 °C), high density (0.95 g cm −3 ), moderate viscosity (44 MPa s), ultrafast ignition delay time (6 ms), and high specific impulse (301.9 s); this demonstrates its potential as an environmentally friendly alternative to toxic hydrazine derivatives.

The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment, storage time, and shelf life and temperature on phenolic concentrations and antioxidant activity in apple peel and flesh of ‘Jonagold’ apple ( Malus domestica Borkh) have been investigated. Hyperoside and chlorogenic acid were the most abundant phenolic compounds in the peel and flesh, respectively. The flesh had lower concentrations of individual phenolics, total phenolics, flavonoids and lower antioxidant activity (determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay) than the peel. In addition, the profiles of phenolics as well as the changing patterns of individual phenolics also differed between the peel and the flesh. After long-time storage (180 d), the greatest decrease of concentrations was the concentrations of hyperoside (27 %) in the peel and total phenolics (35 %) in the flesh. Also, during the 90–180 d storage period, hyperoside and rutin in the peel, chlorogenic acid in the flesh, and flavonoids and antioxidant activity decreased in both peel and flesh tissues. Individual phenolics exhibited different stabilities during the early stages after harvest. 1-MCP reduced the reduction in the concentrations of hyperoside in the peel, chlorogenic acid in the flesh, and total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant activity in both the peel and flesh tissues during storage and shelf life. However, for quercetin and rutin, the protective effect of 1-MCP was only observed during the shelf life period. Overall, phenolic compounds responded variously to storage, shelf life, shelf temperature and 1-MCP treatment.

Carvacrol essential oil has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, but the essential oil is volatile and unstable for long-term storage and use. In order to improve the relevant properties of carvacrol, in the present study, carvacrol was encapsulated with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using the saturated aqueous solution method, and response surface analysis was carried out, which gave a high encapsulation rate (63.58 ± 3.74%). The success encapsulation of carvacrol was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The release performance of the encapsulants was also tested at different temperature and humidity levels. In addition, polyethylene glycol (PEG) composite carvacrol-inclusive preservation paper prepared by these anhydrous conditions showed high antibacterial activity against Streptomyces fructus Monilinia fructicola , the main pathogen of peaches. Also, PEG was used to form the film in the anhydrous condition with the inclusion compound and ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to obtain the film coated paper, and its effect on postharvest preservation quality of peach was studied. The results showed that PEG + Carvacrol-β-CD + 1-MCP-α-CD inclusion complexes (ICs) effectively prolonged the storage time and improved the fruit quality and enzyme activity of peach. This study provides a solution for the preparation of controlled-release coated paper with essential oils and 1-MCP bioactives to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Graphical Abstract

The development of solid-state polymer electrolytes is an effective way to overcome the notorious shuttle effect of polysulfides in traditional liquid lithium sulfur batteries. In this paper, cationic cyclopropenium based cross-linked polymer was firstly prepared with the one pot method, and then the counter ion was replaced by TFSI−anion using simple ion replacement. Cationic cyclopropenium hyper-crosslinked polymer (HP) was introduced into a polyethylene oxide (PEO) matrix with the solution casting method to prepare a composite polymer electrolyte membrane. By adding HP@TFSI to the PEO-based electrolyte, the mechanical and electrochemical properties of the solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries were significantly improved. The PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows the highest Li+ionic conductivity at 60 °C (4.0 × 10−4S·cm−1) and the highest mechanical strength. In the PEO matrix, uniform distribution of HP@TFSI inhibits crystallization and weakens the interaction between each PEO chain. Compared with pure PEO/LiTFSI electrolyte, the PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows lower interface resistance and higher interface stability with lithium anode. The lithium sulfur battery based on the PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolyte shows excellent electrochemical performance, high Coulombic efficiency and high cycle stability. After 500 cycles, the capacity of the lithium-sulfur battery based on PEO-20%HP@TFSI electrolytes keeps approximately 410 mAh·g−1at 1 C, the Coulomb efficiency is close to 100%, and the cycle capacity decay rate is 0.082%.

Developed herein is a diversity-oriented one-pot multicomponent synthesis of polycyclic 3,3′- pyrrolidinyl-dispirooxindoles 3 via a multicomponent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition event of 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-isatylidenyl-isoxazoles 2 with azomethine ylides (thermally generated in situ from isatins and proline or thioproline). Products bearing four consecutive stereocenters consist of two oxindole moieties and a polycyclic pyrrolidinyl core, including vicinal spiroquaternary stereocenters fused in one ring structure were smoothly obtained in high yields (up to 85% yield) with good diastereoselectivity (up to >20:1). Valuable features of this method were application of 3-methyl-4-nitro-5-isatylidenyl-isoxazoles as 1,3-dipolarophiles and the design of new hybrid architectures for biological screenings through the adequate fusion of these sub-units of isoxazole and 3,3′-pyrrolidinyl-dispirooxindole, generating drug-like molecules.

To minimize the colored state transmittance of the device in the ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) region (300–800 nm), we applied the idea of spectral complementary absorption to design electrochromic devices with transparent to black transition. Benzothiadiazole viologen (BV) and trisaminocyclopropenium ions (TAC) organic materials with dark blue and red coloration states were selected to prepare electrochromic devices with extremely low transmittance, here TAC is used as electrochromic material for the first time. The electrochromic devices do not require any supporting electrolytes . By controlling the concentration ratio of two materials, we achieved the ultra-low transmittance (0.33%), extremely low relative luminance (%Y L = 0.12%), and fairly high coloring efficiency (341.9 cm 2 /C) of the TB-1 (0.05 mol/L TAC, 0.05 mol/L BV) device. Meanwhile, the TB-2 (0.0375 mol/L TAC, 0.05 mol/L BV) device possesses high transmittance contrast (81.79%) and very good long-cycle stability (4000 cycles, 96.1%).

Cold-stored fruits of the loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) plant suffer from strong lignification, which leads to a hard texture and a crude mouthfeel of the pulp. However, the signalling mechanisms of loquat fruits under cold storage remain unclear. In this study, the heterotrimeric G protein α subunit (Gα) gene (EjLGA1) from loquat was isolated, and in silico analysis was performed. The levels of EjLGA1 expression in cold-stored loquat fruits with different pretreatments were also investigated. The largest open-reading frame of EjLGA1 is 1173 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 390 amino acids. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the Gα subunit are highly conserved among loquat and 48 other seed plants, indicating that the loquat Gα subunit likely has similar functions in other plants. A reliable model of the loquat Gα subunit was constructed, which revealed the structure of the subunit. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) results showed that EjLGA1 is highly expressed under cold storage, which suggests the significance of EjLGA1 function in loquat fruits in response to cold stress. However, ethephon and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) pretreatments did not regulate EjLGA1expression. These results provide new insight into the signalling mechanism in cold-stored loquat fruits.
