(Liquid + liquid) equilibrium (LLE) for the ternary systems of {water + acetone + diethyl carbonate (DEC)} and (water + 2-butanone + DEC) were determined at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 313.15) K and p = 100 kPa. The reliability of the experimental LLE was verified by the Othmer-Tobias and Bachman equations. The experimental LLE values were correlated with the modified and extended UNIQUAC models. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated from the LLE data to evaluate the extraction capability of the organic solvents.

A new series of thermoplastic interpenetrating polymer network (TIPN) anion exchange membranes (AEMs) based on poly [2,2′- (p-oxydiphenylene) −5, 5′-bibenzimidazole] (OPBI) and poly(1, 2-dimethy-3-allylimidazolium) (PDAIm) (PBI/DAIm TIPN) has been developed. With 1, 2-dimethy-3-allylimidazolium (DAIm) polymerization in presence of OPBI polymer chains, two kinds of uncrosslinked polymer chains, i.e. PDAIm and OPBI interpenetrate with each other to form a physically crosslinking network. Small steric hindrance effect of the DAIm monomer and non-covalent crosslinking interpenetrating polymer chains contribute to better compatibility and chains flexibility in the TIPN compared with the blend and semi-interpenetrating networks, which are evidenced by SEM and SAXS, promote the aggregation of hydrophilic groups and induce connective ionic conductive channels. PBI/DAIm TIPN membranes achieve well-balanced performance between high hydroxide conductivity and dimensional stability because of the dynamically forced compatibility feature of TIPN. Especially, the PBI/DAIm TIPN-65/0.5 membrane exhibits high hydroxide conductivity (96.7 mS cm −1 ) and low swelling ratio (4.4%) at 80 °C. With low overall alkali uptake (2.89%) and IEC (0.63 mmol g −1 ) of functional groups, it exhibits excellent chemical stability in 1 M KOH at 60 °C for 96 h (94.0% retention) and high tensile strength (48.2 MPa) in hydrated state. These observations suggest TIPN structure provides a promising solution to the electrochemical-mechanical balance of AEMs.

Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ and Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ , Li + phosphors are synthesized by solid-state reaction method in air. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that all samples are pure phase Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 . The host Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 with excitation 348 nm emits yellow-green light. Emission spectrum of Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ phosphor with excitation 335 nm contains a broad emission band peaking at ∼540 nm due to V 5+ → O 2− charge transfer and some narrow emission bands owing to the 4 f – 4 f electron transations of Eu 3+ ion in the range of 400–780 nm. With excitation 394 nm, only emision bands derived from Eu 3+ ion are observed. Emission intensity of Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ phosphor can be improved obviously due to charge compensation and fluxing agent role of Li + ion when Li + ion is co-doped. The optimal Eu 3+ doping concentration is ∼5 mol%. The energy transfer process between [VO 4 ] 3− group and Eu 3+ ion is observed and analyzed by emission spectrum in Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ phosphor. The luminous mechanism of Sr 3 (VO 4 ) 2 :Eu 3+ phosphor is explained by energy transfer and energy level diagram of [VO 4 ] 3− group and Eu 3+ ion.

Here we report two Ruddlesden-Popper type ferrite perovskites (SrO)(LaFeO 3 ) n (n = 1 and 2) which demonstrate p-type semiconductivity. Their crystal structure, optical absorption and other physicochemical properties have been systematically explored. Our results show that both ferrites crystallize in tetragonal symmetry with structural lamination along c axis. Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production has been achieved for both samples under full range and visible light illumination. Better performance is noticed for LaSrFeO 4 with apparent quantum efficiency approaches 0.31% and 0.19% under full range and visible light illumination, respectively. The p-type semiconductivity is verified by their cathodic photocurrent as well as negative Mott-Schottky slop during Photoelectrochemical measurement. The relative lower activity for La 2 SrFe 2 O 7 compared to LaSrFeO 4 is likely due to its higher defect concentration which facilitates charge recombination. Both compounds exhibit anisotropic phenomenon for charge migrations according to theoretical calculations. Their p-type semiconductivity, strong visible light absorption, chemical inertness and high abundance of constituent elements signify promising applications in the field of solar energy conversion and optoelectronics.

A novel nucleoside 2′-deoxyribosyltransferase ( Lh NDT) from Lactobacillus hilgardii ZJS01 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The amino acid sequence of Lh NDT displayed the highest identity of 26% to other reported NDTs. Lh NDT was a monomer as revealed by gel filtration chromatography with or without addition of Ca 2+ in elution buffer. This enzyme showed a high activity and stability over a broad pH range and was sensitive to temperature. With the addition of 15 mM Ca 2+ , the thermostability of Lh NDT was greatly promoted by 63 times and 46 times at 30 °C and 35 °C, respectively. With the use of 2′-deoxyuridine as sugar donor at an economic molar ratio of 1:1, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (46%) and 5-fluoro-2′- deoxycytidine (58%) were efficiently synthesized from 5-azacytosine and 5-fluorocytosine, respectively, by Lh NDT for 2 h.

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) with regular pore size (~ 0.34 nm) is widely attempted for gas separation membranes based on size sieving. However, the prospect is subjected to fabricating the continuous ZIF-8 membranes with high mechanical stability and uniformity. In response, an adhesive layer of Zn(II)-doped polydopamine (Zn-PDA) is pre-coated on the stainless steel nets in this work to improve ZIF-8 nucleation and growth. Zn-PDA layer shows high tolerance to ultrasonic agitation and heated methanol (system for ZIF-8 synthesis), little dissolution within 24 h, which supplies a high stable surface for ZIF-8 growth. Furthermore, the Zn(II) doped in PDA layer is opportunely serving as the even-distributed ZIF-8 nucleation starting sites, verified with the EDX and FE-SEM images for the aggregated Zn(II) clusters and the nascent ZIF-8 crystals. Therefore, an indented and hinged boundary is constructed between ZIF-8 and substrate to enhance the mechanical stability. The FE-SEM images after ultrasonic agitation show that the continuous ZIF-8 membranes prepared on Zn-PDA layers can tolerate the deformation to a certain extent. Finally, the prepared ZIF-8 membranes behave excellently with α H2/CO2 = 9.9, α H2/CO = 17.2, α H2/CH4 = 26.0, and permeation rate J H2 = 3980 GPU. This work supplied a useful approach to enhance mechanical stability and uniformity of defect-free ZIF-8 membranes.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a devastating malignancy with late diagnosis and poor response to conventional chemotherapy. Recent studies have revealed anti-cancer effect of vitamin C ( l -ascorbic acid, ascorbate) in several types of cancer. However, the effect of l -ascorbic acid (AA) in CC remains elusive. Herein, we demonstrated that AA induced cytotoxicity in CC cells by generating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and subsequently DNA damage, ATP depletion, mTOR pathway inhibition. Moreover, AA worked synergistically with chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin to impair CC cells growth both in vitro and in vivo. Intriguingly, sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2 (SVCT-2) expression was inversely correlated with IC50 values of AA. Knockdown of SVCT-2 dramatically alleviated DNA damage, ATP depletion, and inhibition of mTOR pathway induced by AA. Furthermore, SVCT-2 knockdown endowed CC cells with the resistance to AA treatment. Finally, the inhibitory effects of AA were further confirmed in patient-derived CC xenograft models. Thus, our results unravel therapeutic potential of AA alone or in combination with cisplatin for CC. SVCT2 expression level may serve as a positive outcome predictor for AA treatment in CC.

A novel tubular porous electrode electrocatalytic reactor was employed to undertake electrochemical treatment of actual anticancer drugs wastewater containing 5-Fluoro-2-Methoxypyrimidine. Effects of operating parameters on the performance of the reactor were studied with the discussion of energy consumption. The results indicated that the optimal condition was flow rate of 0.31 L min −1 , pH value of 5.0, current density of 5 mA cm −2 and without supporting electrolyte. In addition, the degradation intermediates and final products of 5-Fluoro-2-Methoxypyrimidine were analyzed by GC-MS and IC system. A pathway for the electrochemical degradation was proposed as well by quantum chemical calculation using DFT method. After treatment in the reactor, COD and 5-Fluoro-2-Methoxypyrimidine of the wastewater were removed by 84.1% and 100%. Particularly, the BOD 5 /COD value and EC 50,48h value of wastewater were increased from 0.14 and 16.4% to 0.53 and 51.2% respectively, indicating a great biodegradability enhancement. Besides, the electric energy consumption and operating cost of the reactor were only 1.5 kWh kg −1 COD and $ 0.78 per ton, lower than the other conventional electrochemical reactors. The excellent performance as well as the low energy consumption of the electrocatalytic reactor confirmed that electrochemical oxidation is highly applicable for the treatment of anticancer drugs wastewater.

Sub-2 μm large-pore monodispersed mesoporous silica spheres (MMSS) were synthesized by using mixed non-ionic surfactants of dodecylamine (DDA) and dodecylamine polyoxyethylene ether (AC1210) as templates through an alkali-catalyzed silica sol–gel technique combined with the template method. Methanol-H 2 O volume ratio on morphology was researched in detail. In addition, by using hydrothermal treatment , the average pore size of MMSS could be enlarged to 11 nm from 4.4 nm. The mesoporous silica particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), laser particle size analyzer, X-ray diffraction, N 2 physisorption technique. The synthesized sub-2 μm monodispersed mesoporous silica microspheres were successfully functionalized by dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane and used as a packing material in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

High-energy metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on nitrogen-rich ligands are an emerging class of explosives, and density is one of the positive factors that can influence the performance of energetic materials. Thus, it is important to design and synthesize high-density energetic MOFs. In the present work, hydrothermal reactions of Cu(II) with the rigid polynitro heterocyclic ligands 5,5′-dinitro-2H,2′H-3,3′-bi-1,2,4-triazole (DNBT) and 5,5′-dinitro-3,3′-bis-1,2,4-triazole-1-diol (DNBTO) gave two high-density MOFs: [Cu(DNBT)(ATRZ)3]n(1) and [Cu(DNBTO)(ATRZ)2(H2O)2]n(2), where ATRZ represents 4,4′-azo-1,2,4-triazole. The structures were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, ultraviolet-visible (UV) absorption spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their thermal stabilities were also determined by thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry analysis (TG/DSC). The results revealed that complex1has a two-dimensional porous framework that possesses the most stable chair conformations (like cyclohexane), whereas complex2has a one-dimensional polymeric structure. Compared with previously reported MOFs based on copper ions, the complexes have higher density (ρ = 1.93 g cm−3for complex1and ρ = 1.96 g cm−3for complex2) and high thermal stability (decomposition temperatures of 323 °C for complex1and 333.3 °C for complex2), especially because of the introduction of an N–O bond in complex2. We anticipate that these two complexes would be potential high-energy density materials.Keywords:energetic materials;metal organic frameworks;densities;polynitro heterocyclic ligands

Selective hydrodeoxygenation of 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (HFO) derived from furfural oxidation to γ-butyrolactone (GBL) provides a sustainable alternative to the petroleum-based process for γ-butyrolactone production. Furfural is first converted to HFO through selective photocatalytic oxidation by using air oxygen as the oxidant (yield: 85.0%). HFO is further converted to GBL through hydrodeoxygenation over noble-metal nanoparticles on mesoporous Nb–Zr mixed oxides. The conversion of HFO to GBL involves two reactions: hydrogenation catalyzed by active metal and dehydration over mesoporous solid acids. The catalytic properties of M/Nb–Zr mixed oxides (M = Pt, Ir, Ru, Rh and Pd) are related to the composition of support and active metal. The incorporation of zirconia into matrixes improves the thermal stability of mesoporous mixed oxides and increases the amounts of surface acid, which contributes to its catalytic selectivity to GBL. Pt/Nb5Zr5-550 exhibited the best catalytic performances with 97.3% selectivity of GBL at full conversion. The excellent performance can be correlated with the cooperative effect between active metal species and acid sites. The Pt-solid acid bifunctional catalysts show superior catalytic performance compared with conventional catalysts, such as Pt/H-ZSM-5, Pt/C, Rh/C or Pd/C. An overall GBL yield of 82.7% from furfural was obtained.

Indole-2-carboxylic acid copper complex (ICA-Cu) was successfully prepared and characterized through elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis,1H-NMR, TG analysis, and molar conductance, and its molecular formula was [Cu2(C9H6O2N)4(H2O)2]·2H2O. The binding ability of ICA-Cu to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was examined by fluorescence spectrometry and the viscosity method. The results indicated that, upon the addition of increasing amounts of CT-DNA, the excitation and emission intensity of ICA-Cu decreased obviously and the excitation spectra shifted towards a long wavelength. ICA-Cu could displace ethidium bromide (EB) from the EB-DNA system, making the fluorescence intensity of the EB-DNA system decrease sharply; the quenching constantKSVvalue was 3.99 × 104M−1. The emission intensity of the ICA-Cu-DNA system was nearly constant, along with the addition of Na+in a series of concentrations. The fluorescence of the complex could be protected after the complex interacted with DNA. A viscosity measurement further supported the result that the ICA-Cu complex may interact with DNA in an intercalative binding mode. The antioxidant activities of ICA-Cu were evaluated by a 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, a hydroxyl radical (OH) scavenging assay, and a 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) assay. The ICA-Cu exhibited the highest inhibitory effects on the ABTS radical (94% inhibition at 60 µM), followed by OH and DPPH radicals (the degrees of inhibition being 71% and 56%, respectively). The in vitro cytotoxicity activity of ICA-Cu against two human breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7, was investigated by 3-[4,5-dimethyltiazol2-yl]-2.5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and cellular morphological analysis. The results showed that, upon increasing the concentration of ICA-Cu, an increase was observed in growth-inhibitory activity and the inhibition percentage were greater than 90% at 20 µM in both cell lines. Also, cellular morphological changes in the two cell lines agreed with the cytotoxicity results.Keywords:DNA-binding;antioxidant;anticancer;indole-2-carboxylicacid;copper(II) complexes
