Anionic ring-open polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) functionalized 1-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzene (HMOB) monomer 1-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-2-methoxybenzene (EPMOB) led to the formation of the precursor polymer oligo(1-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-2-methoxybenzene) (OEPMOB). Poly(OEPMOB- co -1-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzene) films P1 , P2 , P3 , and P4 were successfully achieved by secondary electrochemical copolymerization of the monomer mixtures OEPMOB/HMOB with different mass ratios of 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, respectively. The possibility of inter- and intramolecular polymerization resulted in a cross-linking conjugated network microstructure. A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of monomer mass ratios on the electrochemical copolymerization and other properties of copolymer films. UV–vis, FT-IR, and 1 H NMR were used to characterize the structure of copolymers. Fluorescence spectroscopic studies revealed that the copolymers partly dissolved in DMSO were all good blue light-emitters, with strong emissions at 392 nm in the doped state. Since EO and HMOB units were introduced into the skeletal backbone, thermal stability of copolymers was improved in comparison with their corresponding homopolymers.

Highly emissive three-coordinate copper halide complexes with a bidentate phosphine ligand have attracted attention. Here, a series of three-coordinate mono- and dinuclear copper halide complexes, [CuI(dpbp)2] (1) and [CuX(dpbp)]2 (dpbp = 2-(diphenylphosphino)biphenyl, X = Br (2), Cl (3)), were synthesized, and their molecular structures and photophysical properties were investigated. In the solid state, these complexes exhibit green photoluminescence with microsecond lifetimes (λmax = 515–538 nm; τ = 11.8–19.1 μs) at 298 K. The emission of the complexes originates from the (σ + X) → π* transition. All three complexes displayed good thermal stability.

The application of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) requires a suitable cathode material with low cost, nontoxic, high safety, and high energy density, which is still a big challenge; thus, a basic research on exploring new types of materials is imperative. In this work, a manganic pyrophosphate and carbon compound Na3.12Mn2.44(P2O7)2/C has been synthesized through a feasible sol–gel method. Rietveld refinement reveals that Na3.12Mn2.44(P2O7)2 adopts a triclinic structure (P1̅ space group), which possesses spacious ion diffusion channels for facile sodium migration. The off-stoichiometric phase is able to offer more reversible Na+, delivering an enhanced reversible capacity of 114 mA h g–1 at 0.1 C, and because of the strong “inductive effect” that (P2O7)4– groups imposing on the Mn3+/Mn2+ redox couple, Na3.12Mn2.44(P2O7)2/C presents high platforms above 3.6 V, contributing a remarkable energy density of 376 W h kg–1, which is among the highest Fe-/Mn-based polyanion-type cathode materials. Furthermore, the off-stoichiometric compound also presents satisfactory rate capability and long-cycle stability, with a capacity retention of 75% after 500 cycles at 5 C. Ex situ X-ray diffraction demonstrates a single-phase reaction mechanism, and the density functional theory calculations display two one-dimensional sodium migration paths with low energy barriers in Na3.12Mn2.44(P2O7)2, which is vital for the facile sodium storage. We believe that this compound will be a competitive cathode material for large-scale SIBs.

The change in the valence state of nanocluster can induce remarkable changes in the properties and structure. However, achieving the valence state changes in nanoclusters is still a challenge. In this work, we use Cu 2+ as dopant to “oxidize” [Ag 62 S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 2+ (4 free electrons) to obtain the new nanocluster: [Ag 62−x Cu x S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 4+ with 2 free electrons. As revealed by its structure, the [Ag 62−x Cu x S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 4+ (x=10∼21) has a similar structure to that of [Ag 62 S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 2+ precursor and all the Cu atoms occupy the surface site of nanocluster. It′s worth noting that with the Cu atoms doping, the [Ag 62−x Cu x S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 4+ nanocluster is more stable than [Ag 62 S 12 (SBu t ) 32 ] 2+ at higher temperature and in electrochemical cycle. This result has laid a foundation for the subsequent application and exploration. Overall, this work reveals crystals structure of a new Ag−Cu nanocluster and offers a new insight into the electron reduction/oxidation of nanocluster.

Cyanate-mediated epoxide ring-opening by halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) is a promising method for the synthesis of important optically pure 2-oxazolidinones. However, the regio- and stereoselectivity of the naturally occurring HHDHs are still not satisfactory for styrene oxides (SOs). We used a structure-guided semi-rational design to improve the selectivity of HHDHs from Ilumatobacter coccineus (IcHheG), followed by site-saturation and combinatorial mutagenesis of Y18, L103, I104, and N196. The double mutant I104F/N196W showed dramatically improved selectivity toward SOs with excellent regioselectivity (>99 : 1) and stereoselectivity (E > 200), producing the corresponding useful and valuable (S)-4-aryl-2-oxazolidinone and (S)-SO with 98% ee. Moreover, it accepted a wider range of styrene oxides with moderate to excellent selectivity. Analysis of the substrate binding conformations showed that the regio- and stereoselectivity improvement in IcHheG was attributed to an increase of geometric distances to the two carbons and the oxygen atom of the epoxide ring for a single stereoisomer. This study elucidated key structural motifs responsible for regulating the regio- and stereoselectivity of IcHheG, offering theoretical guidance for protein engineering of HHDHs from other organisms.

As severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection posed a significant threat to public health and the global economy, in vitro diagnosis of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein proved to be an effective way for SARS-CoV-2 infection control in the past years. Tyramide signal amplification (TSA) has been extensively utilized in tissue imaging and pathological diagnosis owing to the powerful signal enhancement. However, the elevated “ALWAYS ON” fluorescence background limited the accuracy and sensitivity of the conventional TSA assay. To achieve an activated “TURN ON” signal, herein, a small molecule, termed dichlorodihydrofluorescein tyramide (T-DCFH), was synthesized for activatable TSA. Under the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), this T-DCFH facilitates the “TURN ON” fluorescence signal. Additionally, as a recognition tool, DNA aptamer has been used for developing in vitro diagnostic approaches. Hence, based on HRP-labeled aptamers binding with SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, we achieved aptamers-based activatable TSA detection with a higher signal-to-noise ratio than that of fluorescent dye (FITC)-labeled aptamers, while showing lower background than traditional fluorescein tyramide with “ALWAYS ON”. The results demonstrated that the activated T-DCFH significantly enhances the fluorescence signal while diminishing the background noise. By employing multiple aptamers targeting, we offered a timely and accurate in vitro diagnostic approach for future emergent infectious diseases.

The thiazole heterocycle is one of the most common moieties found in various drugs. Using 2-aminothiazole as the core structure, the amino group was functionalized with an amide. As a result, 30 trisubstituted 2-amino-4, 5-diarylthiazole derivatives were synthesized, with different substitutions introduced at the C2, C4, and C5 positions. The anti-Candida albicansbiological activities of these synthetic compounds on five kinds ofCandida albicansat different concentrations were detected by the microdilution method. In the first round, four derivatives of 2-amino-4, 5-diarylthiazole exhibited moderate anti-Candida albicansactivity. Among them,4a8was chosen to be subjected to a demethylation process. Thus,5a8was synthesized successfully, giving anti-Candida albicansactivity (MIC80= 9 μM) similar to that of a typical antifungal drug, fluconazole. To understand the mechanism of anti-Candida albicans, molecular docking of the most active5a8against four target proteins of anti-Candida albicans,such as glutamine-fructose-6-phosphoamidamitransferase (GFAT), protein kinase (Yck2), heat-shock protein 90 (Hsp90), and lanosterol 14a-demethylase (CYP51) was carried out. Our research will provide an experimental basis and theoretical guidance for the further design of a new aminothiazole-leading pharmaceutical molecule.

A set of colour tuning K 2 Ba(MoO 4 ) 2 : Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ (KBM: Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ ) phosphors were fabricated by solid-state method. The phase purity of as-prepared materials was validated by XRD and DRS analyses. The KBM: 0.03Dy 3+ sample exhibits two major luminescence lines at 481 and 572 nm when excited by 351 nm light, corresponding to Dy 3+ ions’ typical transitions of 4 F 9/2 → 6 H J (J = 15/2, 13/2). By introducing Eu 3+ ions into KBM: 0.03Dy 3+ phosphor, the ET from Dy 3+ to Eu 3+ ions arises, leading to colour tuning from green via yellowish green to pink with changing Eu 3+ ions’ concentration, along with the lowest CCT of KBM: 0.03Dy 3+ /0.03Eu 3+ sample. It can be verified by PLE and PL spectra analysis combined with the decay times of KBM: 0.03Dy 3+ /yEu 3+ samples. The energy transfer mechanism is also expounded. Meanwhile, the emission intensities at 423 K still maintain 72.8% for Dy 3+ ions and 91.2% for Eu 3+ ions relative to 303 K of the KBM: 0.03Dy 3+ /0.03Eu 3+ sample, displaying its brilliant thermal stability. All these results connote that KBM: Dy 3+ /Eu 3+ phosphors are prospected to be used for the near-UV excited white light-emitting diodes.

A dual-modification strategy combining (Li 0.5 Bi 0.5 ) 2+ substitution and BaCu(B 2 O 5 )/LiF atmosphere-assisted sintering was developed to reduce the sintering temperature of MgGa 2 O 4 ceramic. The strategy achieved a 360 °C reduction in sintering temperature (from 1610 to 1250 °C) while maintaining a high performance. The optimal sample (Li 0.5 Bi 0.5 ) x Mg 1- x Ga 2 O 4 ( x = 0.02) exhibited ε r = 9.41, Q × f = 127,159 GHz, and τ f = -39.6 ppm/°C. XRD and Rietveld refinement confirmed that the spinel structure was preserved upon doping, alongside a lattice expansion. Consistent with the enhanced Q × f , a Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed a narrowing of the T 2 g mode, indicating an improved structural ordering. Furthermore, τ f was improved to −39.6 ppm/°C, directly related to the induced lattice distortion and expansion. The enhanced performance was attributed to the synergistic effects of composite ion doping and atmosphere-assisted sintering. The former modified the intrinsic structure and polarization characteristics, while the latter facilitated the densification at lower temperatures.

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has attracted considerable interests as high-efficiency electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers for eliminating the increasingly serious EMW pollution, owing to its excellent conductivity, light-weight, and large surface area. However, its practical applications are still hindered by the poor impedance matching and monotonous loss mechanism. In this work, IV-VI tin disulfide (SnS 2 ) with a similar layered structure to rGO is introduced, and SnS 2 /rGO composites are synthesized through a facile two-step hydrothermal method. Due to the improvement of the impedance matching, the SnS 2 /rGO composites exhibit an enhanced EMW absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss of −35.91 dB at a thickness of 4.0 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.3 GHz in the 2–18 GHz range, which is prior to individual component materials (SnS 2 and rGO) and even most rGO-based composites. Moreover, because of multiple loss mechanisms, the radar cross-section reduction of the SnS 2 /rGO composites can reach to 12.2 dBm 2 at an incidence angle of 0°. This work provides an effective approach to enhance the EMW absorption capacity of rGO and paves the way for the further applications of rGO and rGO-based composites.

As an important raw material and intermediate of widely used antibiotics cefazolin and cefazedone, 2-mecapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadizaole (MMTD) in antibiotic wastewater is hardly decyclized during wastewater treatment, posing great risk to the environment. This work proposed a green “coupling-oxidation” process to enhance ring-opening of MMTD during antibiotic wastewater treatment. In particular, the significant role of humic substances (HS) as pre-coupling reagent was emphasized. Real HS and different model HS, especially quinones, not only efficiently pre-coupled MMTD (>95%) but also promoted the MMTD removal by MnO 2 (from 72.4% to 92.4%). Mass spectrometric analysis indicated that MMTD pre-coupled to HS would be oxidized with ring opening to environmental-friendly sulfonated HS, while direct oxidation of MMTD produced MMTD dimers or sulfonated MMTD that would not undergo ring opening. Theoretical calculations indicated that pre-coupling to HS enabled the ring-opening oxidation by increasing the nucleophilicity and decreasing ring-opening barrier of thiadiazole. Based on the density function theory (DFT), the global nucleophilicity index (Nu) followed the trend of HS-MMTD > MMTD dimer > sulfonated MMTD, while the ring-opening barrier followed the trend of HS-MMTD (274 kJ/mol) < first ring of MMTD dimers (286 kJ/mol) < MMTD (338 kJ/mol). Theoretical calculations further confirmed that the cross-coupled HS-MMTD intermediate was more likely to be decyclized than intermediates from direct oxidation. Moreover, nitrogen, acetaldehyde group, sulfate and CO 2 were the products of thiadiazole ring degradation. Pre-coupling of MMTD with HS provides a new idea and strategy in developing a green and sustainable scheme for wastewater treatment.

The detection of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), a widely used industrial compound posing significant environmental and health risks, demands efficient and practical solutions. Here, we present a novel colorimetric sensor integrating photoinduced gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) formation inhibition with salt-assisted liquid–liquid microextraction (SALLME) for rapid and sensitive MBT detection. This approach eliminates the need for AuNP seeds, enabling simple and cost-effective analysis at room temperature. The sensor demonstrated a wide linear range (5–640 μM, R 2 = 0.990) and an impressive limit of detection (LOD) of 0.024 μM, outperforming several conventional methods. Spiked recovery tests using river water and soil samples yielded recovery rates of 94.0–107.5 % with relative standard deviations below 7.1 %, confirming its analytical accuracy and robustness in complex matrices. This study offers a promising pathway for developing practical MBT detection techniques with broad environmental applicability.
