A novel colorimetric method for the detection of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and its inhibitor by taking utilization of Ag [I] ion–3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) detection system has been proposed. Ag [I] ion could oxidize TMB to induce a blue color and an absorption peak centered at 652 nm. In the presence of AChE, acetylthiocholine (ACh) was hydrolyzed to thiocholine. Ag [I] ion could interact with thiocholine and thiocholine can reduce the oxidized TMB (oxTMB) to TMB, both of which suppressed the oxidation capacity of Ag [I] ion, resulting in a blue color fading and a decrease of the absorbance at 652 nm. The developed assay is highly sensitive with a low detection limit of 4.3 μU/mL. Moreover, the method was also applied in AChE inhibitor sensing. The obtained assay is fairly simple, inexpensive and sensitive without the utilization of nanomaterials, which may be not only used for the sensing of other hydrolytic enzyme activities with properly selected substrates, but also used for the screening of potential inhibitor drugs.

In the past few years, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have emerged great potential for the removal of valuable metals and the capture of polluted-heavy metals. Herein, hierarchically flower-like microcrystals with 2D WS 2 nanosheets (F-WS 2 MCs) were prepared by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis strategy and its adsorption performances for precious metals were systematically assessed. The excellent adsorption efficiencies of ∼86.8%, ∼27.6%, and ∼94.1% towards Ag (I), Pd (II), and Au (III) respectively were achieved within 120 min, and the adsorption curves were in good agreement with a pseudo-second-order kinetic model showing a fast uptake rate at the optimum pH values (1.30 for Au (III), 1.43 for Ag (I), and 3.20 for Pd (II)). The adsorption isotherm followed well in the Langmuir model with the maximum removal capacities ( q max ) of 186.2 mg g −1 for Ag (I), 67.29 mg g −1 for Pd (II), and 1340.6 mg g −1 for Au (III), respectively. Furthermore, for recycling purposes, the relevant desorption solution was investigated with different ratios of monobasic acid and thiourea , suggesting the best desorption efficiency of 93.03%, 88.08%, and 85.34% for Ag (I), Pd (II), and Au (III), respectively. By characterizing the crystalline phase, and micromorphology element mapping of F-WS 2 MCs before and after adsorption, the strong affinity and significant adsorption–reduction were indicated to dominate the adsorption process. Therefore, this work broadens the application range of WS 2 microcrystals, providing an alternative material for capturing precious metals and wastewater treatment applications.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria pose serious threats to public health due to the lack of effective and biocompatible drugs to kill MDR bacteria. Photodynamic antibacterial therapy has been widely studied due to its low induction of resistance. However, photosensitizers that can efficiently generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) through both type I and type II mechanisms and that have the capability of multiple modes of action are rarely reported. Addressing this issue, we developed a near-infrared-emitting triphenylamine indole iodoethane (TTII) and its silver(I) self-assembled (TTIIS) aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer for multimode bacterial infection therapy. TTII can efficiently produce both Type I ROS •OH and Type II ROS 1O2. Interestingly, the Ag(I)−π interaction contributed in TTIIS efficiency promotion of the generation of 1O2. Moreover, by releasing Ag+, TTIIS enabled photodynamic-Ag(I) dual-mode sterilization. As a result, TTIIS achieved an effective enhancement of antibacterial activity, with a 1–2-fold boost against multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli (MDR E. coli). Both TTII and TTIIS at a concentration as low as 0.55 μg mL–1 can kill more than 98% of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on MRSA-infected full-thickness defect wounds of a mouse, and both TTII and TTIIS were effective in eliminating the bacteria and promoting wound healing.

In this work, we introduced a multifunctional Ag(I)/CAAA-amidphos complex catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of acrylates with α-imino esters, affording a series of 2,4,5-trisubstituted endo-pyrrolidines in good yields (up to 97%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). Meanwhile, the catalytic system was also applied in the three-component one-pot reaction of α-imino esters formed in situ under the action of N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide. In addition, the gram-scale reaction was realized for the formal synthesis of (+)-ibophyllidine in eight steps.

4-Hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones exhibit multiple biological activities, and studying their synthetic methods is of great significance. In the presence of tetramethylguanidine and silver nitrate, 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones were efficiently synthesized from 2-ethynylanilines and carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure. The reaction conditions, such as types of silver catalysts and reaction solvents, were optimized, and the applicability of the substrate was preliminarily investigated. This method provides an alternative pathway for the synthesis of 4-hydroxyquinoline-2(1H)-ones and the conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide.

Novel p-phenylenediamine-bridged organosilica (PPDA-BOS-T) materials were synthesized via the co-condensation reaction assisted by tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). These amino-functionalized organosilicas were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, N 2 sorption, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The addition of TEOS played a positive role in the construction of the porous network structure of the bridged organosilicas. The saturation adsorption capacity for Ag(I) of the PPDA-BOS-T could reach 82.88 mg g –1 . The conformity to the Freundlich model indicated multilayer adsorption with active sites. Furthermore, the adsorption was followed well by the pseudo-second-order model, and the intraparticle diffusion was proved to be the rate-limiting step during the adsorption of Ag(I). Finally, the thermodynamic parameters including the change of free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) of adsorption were calculated.

A magnetic adsorbent was prepared by polydopamine coating and thiourea grafting on carbon-modified discarded fly ash magnetic beads (TPCMFA). The successfully preparation of the TPCMFA was supported by SEM image, XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy . Batch adsorption experiments reveal that the adsorption of silver ions on this magnetic sorbent TPCMFA agreed with the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum absorbability of 94.94 mg g -1 . Kinetics data revealed that the adsorption of silver ions on TPCMFA conform to a pseudo-second-order. The TPCMFA achieved remarkable selectivity for Ag (I) that was almost five times higher than that for ions of copper, zinc and nickel. After three cycles, the adsorption capacity of TPCMFA remained at 93.5% of the adsorption capacity of the initial material. These results show that this new magnetic adsorbent prepared from discarded fly ash magnetic beads has promising commercial prospects.

Well-defined deposition of noble metal nanoparticles is attractive for the synthesis of heterogeneous metal catalysts with excellent activity, stability, and easy separability. Herein, a facile method combining surface coordination deposition with thermal decomposition has been proposed to fabricate Ag/CoFe 2 O 4 composites as magnetic catalysts for hydrogenation reduction of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitroaniline. This method involved the adsorption of silver ions on cobalt-ferrous oxalate through the surface coordination, and then the thermal decomposition into Ag/CoFe 2 O 4 . The characterizations of XRD , SEM, FTIR, BET, VSM , XPS and Element mapping were utilized to reveal that Ag/CoFe 2 O 4 exhibited a magnetic saturation of 40.4 emu g −1 , a specific surface area of 58.8 m 2 g -1 , and an even distribution of metallic Ag on CoFe 2 O 4 particles. Catalytic reduction tests of 4-nitrophenol and 2-nitroaniline indicated that the Ag contents in Ag/CoFe 2 O 4 seriously affected the catalytic activity of the catalysts. Moreover, the durability test showed that Ag/CoFe 2 O 4 still preserved ∼74.6% of the initial catalytic activity even at the 20th run.

Graphical We report a novel homoleptic alkynyl-protected Au(I)9-Ag(I)9 cluster, which features an intriguing ichthyomorphic assembled core structure. It shows distinct absorbance feature and luminescence properties in solution and in the solid state. Interestingly, it has excellent catalytic performance in both the hydrogen evolution reaction and the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. We report the structure analysis, optical property, and catalytic implications of homoleptic alkynyl-protected Au(I)-Ag(I) nanocluster, namely Au 9 Ag 9 (C≡CAr F ) 18 (abbreviated as Au9 Ag9 hereafter). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis disclosed that, the core of Au 9 Ag 9 cluster features intriguing ichthyomorphic assembled structure driven by metallophilic interactions and Au-acetylide linkages. The Au 9 Ag 9 nanocluster is fluorescent in both solution and solid state, and it has much higher quantum yield in solid state. In the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) test, Au 9 Ag 9 nanocluster exhibits a favorable overpotential of 274 mV at 10 mA cm −2 with a Tafel slope of 99 mV dec −1 , which markedly surpass than the [Au(C≡C-Ar F )] f and [Ag(C≡C-Ar F )] f control samples. Furthermore, Au 9 Ag 9 nanocluster shows much higher activity than the other two to catalyze the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

Recently, the development of efficient mixed metal oxide catalysts for organic pollutants degradation via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is a hot topic in the area of wastewater treatment . In this work, the silver-copper mixed-oxide, Ag 2 Cu 2 O 3 (ACO) was reported for the first time as a highly active catalyst for removing organic pollutants in the presence of PMS. ACO was successfully synthesized from Ag + and Cu 2+ ions at 60 °C, and its structure was strongly influenced by the temperature. The catalyst could almost completely remove p -nitrophenol and other pollutants with 0.65 mM PMS after 20 min, and also exhibited satisfactory stability and recyclability. The system efficiency was shown to vary with the concentration of PMS and catalyst, as well as solution pH. Scavenger experiment and EPR analysis indicated that radicals produced by the oxidation of Ag(I) and Cu(I) with PMS could promote degradation reaction. The synergistic effect between Cu and Ag in the bimetallic catalyst was demonstrated to contribute to the high performance: Cu(II)-O-Ag(I) bonds promote the conversion of Cu(II) species to Cu(I) through reaction with PMS, and facilitate the oxidation of Cu(I) and Ag(I) by PMS to generate active radicals. The study provides a feasible strategy to design efficient and stable bimetal oxide catalysts for PMS activation.

Interest in functional silver has rapidly grown over the years due to significant advances in separation, sensing, catalysis, and biomedical applications. Here we developed a new strategy to load single atomic silver species in the rigid and open unit of the fully conjugated benzimidazole-linked polymers (BILPs). Due to the well-defined chelating units of N-heterocycles, the Ag + ion species can be coordinated by N ligands and stabilized in the atomic level without aggregating into nanoscale Ag clusters and nanoparticles. The obtained Ag + -BILP-101 exhibits a selective binding property of Ag + ions from solutions. The ultrastable structure and the property of taking up metal species, endow BILPs with the advantages of functionalizing metal species. After the reduction by NaBH 4 , the Ag + ions were transferred into Ag nanoparticles. The substantial and intrinsic porosity of BILPs also gives excellent accessibility to Ag species loaded in the frameworks. The plentiful N-heterocycles and loaded Ag species show a synergistic/coadsorption effect for iodine vapor, and the charge transfer from frameworks promotes the formation of iodide ions. The iodine capture capacities of Ag + -BILP-101 and Ag 0 -BILP-101 reach 3.3 g/g and 3.7 g/g at 80 ℃, and still maintain 3.2 g/g and 3.5 g/g at 150 ℃, respectively. After ethanol elution, the residual iodine/Ag molar ratios in Ag + /Ag 0 -BILP-101 samples are still more than one (about 1.5), suggesting their strong affinity toward iodine. This work highlights the excellent selective Ag + ion binding and Ag species supporting properties of BILPs, which can extend to other porous organic framework platforms for various applications based on silver species-skeleton interactions.
