The complexation and selectivity of N,N-di(2-ethylhexyl)-diglycolamic acid (HDEHDGA/kerosene, HA) toward the light lanthanides, La(III), Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III), are presented for the extraction from chloride media. In the low pH region (pH 1.8–2.8), the obtained data reveal that the extraction of Ln(III) is governed by cation-exchange mechanism and is driven by the negative change in enthalpy. The results from the slope analysis method suggest the formation of LnA3·(HA)1or2 in the extraction process. As major extracted species with a core of LnA3 in the first coordination sphere, LnA3 might connect with one or two additional HA molecules in the second coordination sphere by hydrogen bonding. The LnA3 core might share similar coordination geometry to those of 1:3 Ln(III) complexes (LnA′3) with water-soluble N,N-dimethyl-diglycolamic acid (HDMDGA, HA′) formed in aqueous solutions or in solid-state compounds. The correlation between the extraction with HDEHDGA (HA) as an extractant and the complexation with HDMDGA (HA′) as a chelator has been explored by interpreting the separation factors for HA with the difference in the stability constants for HA′. Consequently, the ratios of the stability constants of the corresponding 1:3 complexes (LnA′3) with HDMDGA could be reasonably translated to the separation factors (SFs) with HDEHDGA, providing a valuable approach for understanding the origin of the extraction/separation mechanism. By comparing the extraction selectivity of HDEHDGA with that of the currently deployed extractants in the industry such as P204, P507, and Cyanex 272, HDEHDGA offers outstanding selectivity with considerable SFs (SFCe/La = 6.68, SFPr/Ce = 2.79, and SFNd/Pr = 2.65) for light Ln(III) pairs under conditions of low acid concentrations.

Developing a technique for the detection of nitro-alkanes, which are explosive and toxic, is vital. However, it is hard to selectively detect these compounds at low concentrations for early leakage warning. Here, a nanocomposite material was prepared to promote electron transfer and enhance the content of chemically absorbed oxygen by creating an n-n heterojunction between CdIn 2 O 4 and In 2 O 3 , leading to an enhanced response, shortened response time and reduced working temperature. As a result, the best sensor was found to exhibit an ultra-high response of 78 to 10 ppm nitropropane with quite a low detection limit of 50 ppb at 100 °C. Furthermore, the designed sensor was nearly insensitive to ethanol, acetone, hydrogen, CO, methanol, toluene and methane. Presently, the sensor demonstrated the highest response among those studied in previous investigations.

Abstract Polyacrylate latex contained monobutyl itaconate (MBI) and N,N-diethylacrylamide (DEA) was successfully prepared by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization with a green mixed emulsifier of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) anion surfactant and tetradecyl hydroxypropyl decyl betaine (THDB) amphoteric emulsifier, the mixed monomers of methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA) were modified by MBI and DEA, which were initiated with potassium persulfate (KPS). The structure was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The film of latex was measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and contact angle (CA). The particle size of the latex was tested by Zetatrac dynamic light scattering detector. The optimal conditions are as follows: the amount of mixed emulsifiers is 6.0%; the optimum mass ratio of SDBS to THDB is 1 : 1; the amount of initiator is 0.7%; the mass rate of main monomers of MMA : BA = 1 : 1; the amount of DEA is 5.0% and MBI is 2%. In this paper, the polyarcylate emulsion shows excellent thermal stability and hydrophobicity.

A facile and novel N-heteroarenium iodide-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of enamides has been described. The protocol provides easy access to N,O-acetals, which proved to be a versatile synthetic synthon. The hydrosulfonylation, hydroamination, and hydrophosphorylation products of enamide could be indirectly provided from N,O-acetals. The reaction mechanism was further investigated, which indicated that the hydroalkoxylation of enamides was driven by weak coordination between enamide and the contact ion pair of N-heteroarenium iodide.

The ternary phase diagrams of polyetherimide (PEI)/ N,N -dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with H 2 O and BuOH as non-solvent were simulated using solubility parameter and Flory-Huggins theory. The phase diagrams show that 5.5% H 2 O/BuOH system containing 5% BuOH and 0.5% H 2 O, or 6.5% H 2 O/BuOH system containing 6.2% BuOH and 0.3% H 2 O is required to induce liquid-liquid demixing for 20 wt-% PEI/DMAc casting solution. Therefore, BuOH can enhance the phase separation of the PEI casting solution and hereby induce higher porosity of the membrane, and the diffusion of BuOH into the water coagulation bath causes larger pore size easily compared with DMAc. Our predictions that the membrane pure water flux first increases then decreases, and the rejection ratio of bovine serum albumin decreases with the increasing concentration of BuOH were validated by the experiments using the prepared membranes.

CXCR1 and CXCR2 are CXC chemokine receptors (CXCRs), corresponding to cytokines of the CXC chemokine family. CXCR2 was found to be 77% homologous to CXCR1. Antagonism of the chemokine receptor CXCR2 has been proposed as a new strategy for the treatment of metastatic cancer. In order to find a CXCR2 selective antagonist, a bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane containing N,N′-diarylsquaramide (compound 2e) was identified by introducing a bridge ring system into the N,N′-diarylsquaramide skeleton, and it exhibited good CXCR2 antagonistic activity (CXCR2IC50 = 48 nM) and good selectivity (CXCR1IC50/CXCR2IC50 = 60.4). Furthermore, an in vitro biological assay of compound 2e also demonstrated its good anti-cancer metastatic effect against the pancreatic cancer cell line CFPAC1. In addition, compound 2e showed an extremely high stability in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) and simulated gastric fluid (SGF), as well as in rat and human plasma, but not in rat and human liver microsomes. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies in rats indicated that 2e has an excellent PK profile (10 mg kg−1 po, Cmax = 2863 ng mL−1, t1/2 = 2.58 h). Moreover, molecular docking was further implemented to propose the preponderant configuration of compound 2e, providing important and useful guidelines for further development.

A non-covalent bonding method is utilized for forming pH-switchable wormlike micelles system by mixing N -hexadecyl- N -methylpyrrolidinium bromide-based cationic surfactant and pyrocatechol. The peculiarity of this system is that it has high viscoelasticity at acidic conditions and alkaline conditions, while it shows water-like behaviors at neutral conditions. Rheology, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic-transmission electron microscopy results revealed that the microstructure transition between spherical micelles and wormlike micelles was the fundamental cause of the pH-switchable rheological properties. The unusual rheological and micellar responses of this system to pH are caused by different binding capacity of hydrotrope to C 16 MPBr as pH varies. Fluorescence analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance result support this hypothesis.

Titania nanosheets with {0 0 1} facets were produced by the supercritical N,N-dimethylformamide (SC-DMF) fluid exfoliation of the layered bulk titanate material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the starting titanate crystals with layered structure; SEM, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron micrographs (TEM) demonstrated the obtained two-dimensional nanosheets with a thickness of 1.3 nm around and lateral dimensions of several microns; ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy characterized the optic properties of the nanosheets with uniformity and the disassembly of layered structure. Absorbance peak is centered at 301 nm and the molar extinction coefficient is 1.01 × 10 2 mol −1 dm 3 cm −1 ; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the sediments revealed that the weight loss in the case of ice-cold water cooling was the least. The course of the SCF exfoliation was explained to be rapid intercalation and swollen exfoliation by thermal stress. Restacking of exfoliated nanosheets was shown by the in situ XRD technique, and ratios of the obtained single layers in the working conditions of furnace cooling, air cooling and ice-cold water cooling are increased up to 7.8%.

Age is an important factor in the evaluation of chemical toxicology. Chemical carcinogenic compounds can induce genomic mutations. However, few studies have been conducted on the association between genomic mutation frequency, such as microsatellite instability (MSI), and the age of mice treated with a nitrosourea mutagen. In the current work, we treated young (6 weeks) and old (10 months) mice with N -methyl- N -nitrosourea (MNU) for 4 months; the MSI frequency was then measured using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and short tandem repeat (STR) scanning. The percentage of animals with MSI in the old group was significantly higher than that in the young group (100% and 75%). The frequency of MSI events was significantly different between the two groups as well (15.8% for old and 9.4% for young). The ratio of MSI loci displayed no obvious difference between the two groups. In addition, a few loci, including D15Mit5 and D8Mit14 exhibited the highest frequency of MSI events. Since specific loci showed increased MSI in the present study and a higher frequency in previous studies, these loci could be regarded as “hot spot”. These results suggested that old mice would be more susceptible to this mutagen, and prone to accrue MSI. The hot spot microsatellite loci are potentially useful markers for genomic instability analysis.

A series of zirconium alkyl-N,N-dimethylenephosphonate silver-carrying (Ag-ZRDP) were successfully prepared and their potential applications as synergistic antibacterial materials were investigated. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), of 30 nm in diameter, were tightly anchored onto the zirconium alkyl-N,N-dimethylenephosphonate (ZRDP), increasing the antibacterial activity of the Ag NPs due to a decrease in the extent of nanoparticle aggregation. Due to the synergistic antibacterial effect of the Ag NPs and ZRDP, the Ag-ZRDP showed a better antibacterial activity than Ag NPs and ZRDP with a minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of 0.25 and 0.25 μg mL −1 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus , respectively. Additionally, the Ag-ZRDP did not show obvious cytotoxicity against mammalian cells (A549 cells), even at a concentration of 256 μg mL −1 . Collectively, these properties make the newly synthesized Ag-ZRDP potentially superior as disinfectants and antiseptics for various biomedical and biotechnological applications.

Although dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) solvent has been widely researched in rechargeable lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2 ) batteries , high polarization voltage and low rate capability limited its application. In this work, we reported a DMSO-based electrolyte system by adding N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) to adjust its physical and electrochemical properties. The ionic conductivity , viscosity, oxygen solubility and diffusion coefficient of the mixed electrolytes as well as their electrochemical performance in Li-O 2 batteries are researched. The electrochemical tests show that the optimized DMSO/DMA volume ratio is 30 to 70 based on the rate performance and polarization voltage of the cell. Compared with that of the pure DMSO-based electrolyte, the cell with the mixed electrolyte shows improved rate capability and reduced charge-discharge over-potential. When increasing current density from 0.2 to 0.5 mA cm −2 , the capability retention improves from 32% to 59%. Meanwhile, the charge-discharge voltage gap drops from 1.4V to 0.9V at a current density of 0.2 mA cm −2 . The improved electrochemical performance could be attributed to low viscosity, high oxygen solubility and diffusion coefficient as well as the low charge-transfer resistance with the mixed electrolyte.

Benzophenone (BP) andN,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) are two chemicals often used in personal care products (PCPs). There is a lack of systematic ecotoxicological evaluations about the two chemicals to aquatic organisms. In the present study, the acute toxic effects onChlorella vulgaris,Daphnia Magana, andBrachydanio reriowere tested and the ecotoxicological risks were evaluated. For BP, the 96-h half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) onC. vulgariswas 6.86 mg/L; the 24-h median lethal concentration (LC50) onD. maganawas 7.63 mg/L; the 96-h LC50onB. reriowas 14.73 mg/L. For DEET, those were 270.72 mg/L, 40.74 mg/L, and 109.67 mg/L, respectively. The mixture toxicity of BP and DEET, onC. vulgaris,D. magana, andB. rerioall showed an additive effect. The induced predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for BP and DEET by assessment factor (AF) method are 0.003 mg/L and 0.407 mg/L, respectively. Both are lower than the concentrations detected from environment at present, verifying that BP and DEET are low-risk chemicals to the environment.
