Six ternary lanthanide complexes with different β-diketones as primary “antenna” ligand and 2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine as neutral ancillary ligand, namely [Ln(hfac) 3 (tpy)] [Ln(III) = Eu ( 1 ), Gd ( 2 ), Tb ( 3 ); hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone; tpy = 2,2’:6’,2’’-terpyridine] and [Ln(btfa) 3 (tpy)] [Ln(III) = Eu ( 4 ), Gd ( 5 ), Tb ( 6 ); btfa = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction. The three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface map and two-dimensional fingerprint analysis reveal that the substitution of hfac with btfa result in the decrease of the H···F/F···H and F···F interactions and the increase of the C···H/H···C and H···H interactions. Solid-state luminescence investigations indicate that the Eu(III) complexes ( 1 -Eu and 4 -Eu) and the Tb(III) complexes ( 3 -Tb and 6 -Tb ) display the characteristic lanthanide-centered luminescence upon UV excitations. 1 -Eu and 4 -Eu emit red light at CIE: 0.6827, 0.3172 and CIE: 0.6819, 0.3179 with the quantum yields (QY) of 78.70 % and 68.85 % and the lifetimes ( τ ) of 0.768 and 0.808 ms, respectively. 3-Tb and 6-Tb emit green light at CIE: 0.2677, 0.7221 and CIE: 0.2680, 0.7217 with the QY values of 7.56 % and 1.38 % and the τ values of 0.076 and 0.022 ms, respectively. For the Eu(III) complexes, the substitution of hfac by btfa makes the QY value lower from 78.70 % to 68.85 % and slightly prolong the τ value from 0.768 to 0.808 ms, while for the Tb(III) complexes, both of the QY and τ values decrease. The results suggest that the structures of the primary β-diketone ligands could affect the luminescence performances such as QY and τ values of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) complexes.

Polygoni Multiflori Radix (PMR) has been commonly used as a tonic in China for centuries. However, PMR-associated hepatotoxicity is becoming a safety issue. In our previous in vivo study, an interaction between stilbenes and anthraquinones has been discovered and a hypothesis is proposed that the interaction between stilbene glucoside-enriching fraction and emodin may contribute to the side effects of PMR. To further support our previous in vivo results in rats, the present in vitro study was designed to evaluate the effects of 2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2- O-β -D-glucopyranoside (TSG) on the cellular absorption and human liver microsome metabolism of emodin. The obtained results indicated that the absorption of emodin in Caco-2 cells was enhanced and the metabolism of emodin in human liver microsomes was inhibited after TSG treatment. The effects of the transport inhibitors on the cellular emodin accumulation were also examined. Western blot assay suggested that the depressed metabolism of emodin could be attributed to the down-regulation of UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) 1A8, 1A10, and 2B7. These findings definitively demonstrated the existence of interaction between TSG and emodin, which provide a basis for a better understanding of the underlying mechanism for PMR-induced liver injury.

Protein adsorption at interfaces is a key for many applications especially in the biomedical field, biotechnologies, biocatalysis, food industry, etc. The development of surface layers that allow to control and manipulate protein adsorption is thus highly desired. To achieve this desired goal, we designed a smart thin stimuli responsive coating based on poly[(2-methyl-2-oxazoline)-random-glycidyl methacrylate)] (PMOXA-r-GMA) comb copolymer and poly(4-vinyl pyridine)-block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (P4VP-b-PGMA) block copolymer and scrutinized its ability to control protein adsorption properties by unraveling the effect of ionic strength (I) along with the pH of the surrounding medium and variation of chain length of P4VP. Firstly, PMOXA/P4VP based coatings were prepared by spin coating the mixture of PMOXA-r-GMA and P4VP-b-PGMA copolymer solutions onto silicon substrates followed by annealing at 110 °C. The surface composition and morphology of the PMOXA/P4VP based coatings were evaluated through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The switchable ability of the coating with the variation of chain length of P4VP upon pH and ionic strength trigger was characterized by water contact angle (WCA) and variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE). The experimental observations illustrated that the change in the water contact angle (ΔWCA) and thickness (Δh) were found to be maximum when the chain length of P4VP was almost three times that of PMOXA while turning the environmental condition from pH 3, with low ionic strength (I = 10 −3 M) to pH 9 with high ionic strength (I = 10 -1 M). Finally, the adsorption and desorption behavior of mixed polymer coating against bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using the fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled BSA (FITC-BSA) assay and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), respectively. The low ionic strength (I = 10 -3 M) at pH 3, caused to increase the adsorption of BSA and this increment was enhanced by increasing the chain length of P4VP in PMOX/P4VP based coatings. Subsequently, the adsorbed protein was then efficiently desorbed by changing the conditions to pH 9, I = 10 -1 M, as well as the maximum desorption percentage (> 92 %) could be obtained at these optimized conditions in PMOXA/P4VP based polymer coatings.

Polymer brushes with different topological architectures exhibit unparalleled interfacial and physicochemical properties and are being widely utilized in antifouling applications. However, there is an absence of a thorough understanding of the antifouling process of dynamic flow mediated by the topological structure of polymer brushes. Here, it is highlighted how the interface parameters related to biofouling in flowing carrier fluid are tuned by topologically different architectures. The mechanism by which three brushes with various topological structures (cyclic, looped, and linear brushes) encounter biological media was revealed by relating protein adhesion with nanomechanics and protein conformational transitions on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) brushes. In contrast to the classically linear analogue, the cyclic PEtOx brushes confered an enhanced steric barrier and excellent lubrication at the critical density region. The impenetrable and smoother layer prevented the approach and shortened the residence time for protein on the surface, providing optimal antifouling properties at low shear rates. The looped brushes also significantly inhibited protein adhesion under prolonged high shear rates due to their unshakable conformational characteristics. These findings detailed a new evaluation framework behind polymer brushes of topology-driven biofouling repulsion under flow conditions and pointed the way toward a promising approach for the effectiveness of biomaterial design.

Sensitive detection, especially in situ monitoring of intracellular MMP-2, is extremely desirable for cancer early diagnosis, evaluation of therapy, and discovery of the new anti-cancer drug. Herein, a programmed microcapsule-type MMP-2 responsive nanosensor based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) is developed to realize in situ imaging monitoring of intracellular MMP-2. In the wrapping anti-MMP-2 antibody sealed microcapsule-type nanosensor, a black hole fluorescence quencher (BHQ-3) is covalently combined onto the inner walls of the MSN mesopores, and the fluorescein Cy5 is loaded in the cavity of MSN, resulting in fluorescence “OFF” state. With the existence of MMP-2, the anti-MMP-2 antibody which acts as a “bio-lid” could detach from the surface of the nanosensor owing to the binding MMP-2 with the antibody, leading to the release of the fluorescein Cy5 to produce fluorescence “ON” state. The prepared programmed microcapsule-type MMP-2 responsive nanosensor is capable of sensitive in situ imaging monitoring of intracellular MMP-2 and is further verified by tracking the change of intracellular MMP-2 level in response to MMP-2-repressive drugs. Thus, the nanosensor give a platform for in vivo detection of biomarkers for diagnosis, evaluation of therapy, and discovery of the new anti-cancer drug.

To solve the shortcomings of poor solubility, low cationic strength , and small molecular weight of chitosan (CTS), acryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DAC) and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) were introduced into the amino group of chitosan by graft copolymerization , and the modified chitosan flocculant CTS-DAC-AMPS was successfully prepared. The performance of CTS-DAC-AMPS in the treatment of papermaking wastewater was investigated, and the mechanism of the flocculation process was analyzed. The results showed that the crystal habit of CTS-DAC-AMPS was reduced, and the solubility range was broadened compared with CTS due to the introduction of DAC and AMPS. In addition, CTS-DAC-AMPS with quaternary ammonium and sulfonic groups prompted its cationic strength stronger than CTS. In addition to high thermal stability, CTS-DAC-AMPS, composed of two CTS molecules, one DAC molecule, and one AMPS molecule, had a long molecular chain . The results of flocculation experiments showed that the performance of CTS-DAC-AMPS in treating papermaking wastewater was better than that of unmodified CTS and commercially available flocculants. Based on the experimental results, the mechanism of CTS-DAC-AMPS treatment of papermaking wastewater was mainly charge neutralization.

The solubility of dimethyl 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionate) (AIBME) was determined in 15 pure solvents, including cyclohexane, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, tetrachloromethane, acetonitrile, methylbenzene, methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropanol, n-butyl alcohol, and iso-butyl alcohol, and in a binary solvent system (methanol + water) at the temperature range from 253.15 to 293.15 K at atmospheric pressure. Between 278.15 and 293.15 K, the solubility of AIBME is more sensitive to temperature in alcohol solvents than in other solvents. However, the solubility of AIBME in nonalcoholic solvents decreased more rapidly than in alcohol solvents below 278.15 K. The AIBME solubility in the binary solvent system (methanol + water) is positive to temperature and the initial mole fraction of methanol. The measured solubility data of AIBME in pure solvents were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation, the λh equation, the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model, and the Wilson model. The measured solubility data of AIBME in binary solvent systems were correlated by the modified Apelblat equation, the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model, and the Wilson model. Among the four models, the NRTL model is the best model to fit the solubility of AIBME, especially in alcohol solvents. In addition, the mixing properties of AIBME in 15 pure solvents, including standard mixing Gibbs energy, mixing enthalpy, and mixing entropy, were calculated and discussed. The results provide useful information for practical optimization of AIBME crystallization processes.

Furan-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is an important biomass-derived diacid, and it is the most promising substitute for terephthalic acid. The common method of FDCA usually involves 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation. Edible fructose is often used as the feedstock of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and the oxidation step would generate undesirable impurities. Herein, FDCA was novelty synthesized by carboxylation of formate and 2-furoic acid (FA) derived from unedible-biomass. This route is potentially advantageous because it is simple to operate and does not require any additional additives. The reaction mechanism has been elucidated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the carboxylation process, the C(sp 2 )-H bond of formate (HCOOM) undergoes cleavage, generating the carbon dioxide radical anion (CO 2 •− ). Subsequently, CO 2 •− attacks the C 5 of FA, forming the C C bond and ultimately yielding FDCA. The conversion of HCOOM to CO 2 •− is an effective way to achieve carboxylation reaction. The rate-determining step of the carboxylation reaction is the cleavage of the C(sp 2 )-H bond of HCOO − with activation barrier of 159.11 kJ⋅mol −1 . The investigation would provide a new strategy for the mechanism of carboxylation reactions, and hold the potential to establish pathways for FDCA production.

A large Stokes-shifted fluorescent imide (HBTN-MC) and its related polyimides (HBHBTNms and HPHBTNms) were first designed and synthesized by introducing an excited state intramolecular proton transfer fluorophore 2-(2′-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole (HBT). The imide exhibited a large Stokes shift of 9654 cm−1 in the dichloromethane solution and 7648 cm−1 in the solid state. Based on the experimental and theoretical methods, the photophysical properties and the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of HBTN-MC have been systematically studied. The performances of the polyimides have been optimized by changing the alicyclic dianhydride and adjusting the copolymerization ratio. The as-prepared polyimide films retained the ESIPT performance with a large Stokes shift of larger than 8105 cm−1, a high photoluminescence quantum efficiency (φ) of 29%, decent colorless and transparency, high thermal performance (Td, 5% = 468 °C and Tg > 260 °C), and solubility in both conventional aprotic and protic solvents. In short, the newly developed imide and polyimides provide good examples for the development of ESIPT polymers with controllable emission wavelengths as well as high thermal, environmental, and radiation stability.

The catalytic conversion of carbohydrate to platform chemicals, e.g. lactic acid (LA), is the key to unlock the potential of biomass. In this study, we report that the combination of Ba(OH) 2 and Ca(OH) 2 can efficiently catalyse high-concentration (> 0.5 M) of glucose to relatively high yield of LA (> 40 %) under mild conditions (60 °C). Both glucose conversion and LA yield were sensitive to the pH of the catalytic system. A high loading of Ba(OH) 2 led to a high initial pH of the reaction solution, resulting in serious side reactions. While, a low loading of Ba(OH) 2 led to a quike decrease of OH − and Ba 2+ both of which were continuously consumpted by the formed LA. The combination of Ca(OH) 2 with Ba(OH) 2 could significantly improve LA yield, since Ca(OH) 2 , with limited solubility, could act as a controlled-release catalyst for the real-time supply of OH − and Ca 2+ . OH − was indispensable for glucose isomerization to fructose as well as for fructose retro-aldol reaction to C 3 intermediates. Ca 2+ could combine with LA to form stable calcium lactate, liberating Ba 2+ to catalyse the conversion of C 3 intermediates to LA. Under the preliminary optimized reaction conditions, the yield of LA could be reached to 42.55 % and 38.32 % from 0.5 M and 1 M glucose, respectively. This catalytic system has advantages of mild reaction condition, short reaction time, and capable of conversion of high-concentration substrates, enabling it with a great potential for practical applications.

Using durian shell as a carbon source and triethanolamine as a nitrogen dopant, nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) were prepared via the hydrothermal method. First, by exploring different reaction times, reaction temperatures, and carbon source/dopant ratios to synthesize nitrogen-doped carbon dots, it is concluded that the best process conditions are 200 ℃, reaction time being 15h, and the dopant addition amount being 2mL. Structure and characteristics of the synthesized CDs were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, fluorescence (FL), ultraviolet–visible absorption, and Raman spectra. The N-CDs showed blue FL with a quantum efficiency of 4.28%. The FL characteristics of the N-CDs were utilized for ion detection, which demonstrated that \({\text{MnO}}_{4}^{ - }\) and \({\text{Cr}}_{{2}} {\text{O}}_{7}^{2 - }\) ions caused distinct FL quenching through static quenching, while other ions had no significant quenching effect. The detection limits for \({\text{MnO}}_{4}^{ - }\) and \({\text{Cr}}_{{2}} {\text{O}}_{7}^{2 - }\) were 37.5 and 46.2 nM, respectively. The N-CDs were subsequently employed to detect these ions in actual water samples, producing satisfactory results. Therefore, the preparation of N-CDs using durian shell as raw material and its application in practical detection work have good application feedback, which not only provides a new way for the reuse of fruit and vegetable wastes but also provides a new detection means for environmental monitoring pollutants.
