In this study, we evaluated and screened the effects of the molecular weight (MW) and molar ratio of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-cholesteryl methyl carbonate (PEtOz-CHMC) on the pH sensitivity, stability, and antitumor efficacy of liposomes. The pH sensitivity of PEtOz-CHMC with different MWs and molar ratios was screened by drug release and cytotoxicity experiments at different pH levels. Results indicated that the liposomes coated with PEtOz1k-CHMC (7% molar ratio) and PEtOz2k-CHMC (5% molar ratio) exhibited the desirable pH responsiveness. When the MW of PEtOz was relatively low, 7% of the modified ratio obtained the strongest stability, but the turbidity of the liposomes did not obviously change when the molar ratio of PEtOz-CHMC was further increased. A375 cells were used as models to investigate the cellular uptake and intracellular localization of coumarin-6-loaded liposomes (C6-L), PEGylated liposomes (PEG-C6-L), and PEtOzylated liposomes. PEtOz1k-C6-L and PEtOz2k-C6-L presented remarkably stronger fluorescence intensity at low pH than at pH 7.4, whereas C6-L and PEG-C6-L did not achieve any obvious diversity at different pH conditions. Compared with C6-L and PEG-C6-L, PEtOz-C6-L showed efficient intracellular trafficking, including endosomal/lysosomal escape and cytoplasmic release. Pharmacokinetic experiments demonstrated that half-lives of PEG2k-C6-L, PEtOz2k-C6-L, and PEtOz1k-C6-L were 11.89-, 7.00-, and 5.29-fold times higher than those of C6-L, respectively. Among the liposomes, the DOX·HCl-loaded liposomes coated with PEtOz2k-CHMC demonstrated the strongest antitumor efficacy against B16 tumor xenograft models in vivo. These findings provide the feasibility of using PEtOz-CHMC with optimal pH sensitivity and long circulation to extend the application of liposomes to efficient anticancer drug delivery.

Cinnamic acid, isolated from cinnamon bark, is a natural product with excellent bioactivity, and it effectively binds with cyclohexanedione to form novel 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors. According to the active sub-structure combination principle, a series of novel 3-hydroxy-2-cinnamoyl-2-en-1-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. The title compounds were characterized by infrared, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The in vitro inhibitory activity of AtHPPD verified that compound II-13 showed the most activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 0.180 μM, which was superior to that of mesotrione (0.206 μM) in vitro. The preliminary herbicidal activity tests demonstrated that some compounds had good herbicidal activity especially compound II-13 at a concentration of 150 g ai/ha. The binding mode of AtHPPD through molecular docking indicated that two oxygens of compounds II-13 formed bidentate interactions with metal ions, and the benzene ring formed π-π accumulation effects with Phe-381 and Phe-424. The results of molecular dynamics simulations showed that compound II-13 exhibited a more stable binding ability with AtHPPD than mesotrione. This study provided insights into the development of natural and efficient herbicides in the future.

A new hypoxia-sensitive coordination compound, bis(2-(2′-benzothienyl)pyridinato-N,C3′)iridium[poly(n-butyl cyanoacrylate)], hereafter denoted as (btp)2Ir(PBCA), is synthesized and characterized by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). (btp)2Ir(PBCA)/chitosan [(btp)2Ir(PBCA)/CS] nanoparticles (NPs) with a core–shell structure are prepared by a two-step fabrication process. The size distributions of these NPs are measured with a Malvern size analyzer, and their morphology is observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The functional groups on the surface are confirmed by FTIR. Phosphorescence spectra are obtained and lifetimes are determined with a spectrophotofluorometer and a time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) apparatus, respectively. HeLa and CT26 cell lines are used to examine the cytotoxicity by the MTT assay, as well as to determine the imaging capability of the samples in air and nitrogen atmospheres, respectively. Tumor-bearing mouse models of colon adenocarcinoma are used for tumor imaging in vivo, and the imaging effect is evaluated with a Maestro 2 fluorescence imaging system. Compared with the hypoxia-associated probe bis(2-(2′-benzothienyl)pyridinato-N,C3′)iridium(acetylacetonate) (BTP), the phosphorescence lifetime of (btp)2Ir(PBCA)/CS NPs significantly decreases, but the hypoxia-sensitivity increases after preparation of NPs. Apart from the significantly lower cytotoxicity, (btp)2Ir(PBCA)/CS NPs also enhance the tumor imaging effect by more than 10 times, maintaining the phosphorescence signal in tumor tissue for over 24 h and significantly decreasing the phosphorescence signal in normal tissue in vivo compared with the BTP probe.

Poly(styrene–divinylbenzene)/Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@St–DVB) magnetic porous polymer microspheres based on suspension polymerization were prepared for adsorption of 2, 4-dichlorophenol (2, 4-DCP) and 2, 6-dichlorophenol (2, 6-DCP) from aqueous solution. The as-prepared product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis and elemental analysis. The results showed that the composite material has both porous and magnetic characteristics, which aid in faster separation and increase in adsorption capacity. The adsorption performance of the Fe3O4@(St–DVB) magnetic porous microspheres was manifested by batch mode adsorption experiments with respect to pH, initial concentration, contact time and temperature. The adsorbent was found to be sensitive to changes in pH, and the adsorption capacity of 2, 4-DCP is higher than that of 2, 6-DCP. The kinetics experimental data fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model, as three steps belonged to the pseudo-second-order adsorption process. The adsorption isotherms were also described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, respectively. It was found that the Langmuir isotherm model fitted the equilibrium data superior to the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated by the Gibbs free energy function, confirming that adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. In addition, the reusability performance of the Fe3O4@(St–DVB) magnetic porous microspheres was demonstrated by four repeated cycles.

A water-soluble fluorescent sensor (L) based on 2-(2-(8-hydroxyquinolin)-yl)benzimidazole has been synthesized and characterized. Sensor L displays highly selective and sensitive recognition of Hg2+ with a fluorescence “ON–OFF” response in buffered aqueous solution (1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Tris–HCl 10 mM, pH = 7.4). X-ray crystal structure of the L–Hg2+ complex reveals that the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of 8-hydroxyquinoline and the imine N atom of the benzimidazole unit (N1) bind Hg2+ through a 1 : 1 binding stoichiometry. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is qualitatively evaluated by quantum chemical calculations which show that the fluorescence quenching phenomenon is caused by ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) in the excited state.

In this study, bis(tetraoxacalix[2]arene[2]triazine) modified silica gel was successfully prepared and used as an efficient sorbent for solid-phase extraction. Coupled with ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC), the extraction performance of the sorbent was evaluated by using three flavonoids as model analytes. Main parameters, which affecting extraction efficiency were carefully optimized. The results showed that multiple intermolecular interactions were involved in the sample pretreatment procedure, including π–π, hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed method was applied for the analysis of three flavonoids in grape juice. Satisfactory linear ranges for flavonoids were obtained in the range of 5–200 ng mL −1 for quercetin, 1–200 ng mL −1 for luteolin, and 2–200 ng mL −1 for kaempferol, with good correlation coefficients (>0.9996). Limits of detection (LODs) were in the range of 0.5–2 ng mL −1 , and the LOQs were between 1 and 5 ng mL −1 . The recovery values of spiked grape juice ranged from 97 to 106% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 4.7% ( n = 3). This method exhibited the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, and low solvent consumption, and was promising for the separation and determination of flavonoids in grape juice and other matrixes.

Nano-silica is widely used to enhance gel properties, but its size, concentrations, and aggregation behaviors all matter. The influencing rules of these factors remain unclear especially in harsh reservoir conditions. This study presented a comprehensive investigation into the gelation, rheological, and plugging properties of phenolic polymer gels reinforced by modified nano-silica (GSNP) of different sizes and concentrations in harsh reservoir conditions. Specifically, the nano-silica was modified with a highly soluble silane, and gel properties were evaluated through rheological, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and sandpack flooding tests. The results showed that the incorporation of GSNP prolonged the gelation time, enhanced gel strength, and improved stability, allowing the gelation solution to enter deeper into the formation while maintaining long-time effectiveness. The optimal gel system was obtained with 0.4 wt.% GSNP-30, under which condition the storage modulus increased by approximately 14 times, and the content of non-freezable bound water more than doubled. This system exhibited plugging efficiency exceeding 80% in formations with permeabilities ranging from 1000 to 6000 millidarcy and enhanced the oil recovery factor by over 25%. The reinforcement mechanisms were attributed to the adsorption of GSNP onto polymer chains and its role in filling the gel matrix, which enhanced polymer hydrophilicity, suppressed polymer aggregation/curling, prevented ion penetration, and promoted the formation of a more uniform gel network. Careful optimization of nanoparticle size and concentration was essential to avoid the detrimental effects due to nanoparticle overfilling and aggregation. The novelty of this study lies in the practicable formulation of thermal and salt-tolerant gel systems with facile modified nano-silica of varying sizes and the systematic study of size and concentration effects. These findings offer practical guidance for tailoring nanoparticle parameters to cater for high-temperature and high-salinity reservoir conditions.

A series of imidazolidin-2-iminato vanadium complexes VOCl2[1,3-R2-(CH2N)2CN], Vi1, R = 2,6-Me2C6H3; Vi2, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2; Vi3, R = 2,6-iPr2C6H3; Vi4, R = cyclohexanyl, were synthesized and fully characterized by NMR (1H, 13C and 51V) and elemental analysis. The copolymerizations of ethylene with propylene using the imidazolidin-2-iminato vanadium complexes were conducted in the presence of Et3Al2Cl3. The catalytic activity increased in the order of Vi4 < Vi1 < Vi2 < Vi3, probably due to the different electron donating natures of the imidazolidin-2-iminato ligands. Both high catalytic activity of 2.44 × 106 g copolymer per mol of V per h and incorporation ratio of propylene (up to 32.5 mol%) were afforded by using the Vi3/Et3Al2Cl3 catalytic system in the copolymerization of ethylene with propylene. An ethylene–propylene copolymer with ultra-high molecular weight (Mw = 2660 kg mol−1) could be also synthesized by using the Vi3/Et3Al2Cl3 catalytic system. Importantly, the highly efficient terpolymerizations of ethylene, propylene with 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) were also achieved by using this catalytic system, affording ethylene–propylene–ENB terpolymers (EPDMs) with high contents of ENB units up to 9.8 mol% (29.8 wt%) and ultra-high molecular weight (Mw = 1521–2537 kg mol−1). This work offers a unique catalytic system of vanadium complexes for the synthesis of EPDM with both high content of ENB units and ultra-high molecular weight.

Three new tin coordination compounds (4,4'-Hbipy) 2 [Sn 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 ] ( 1 ), (4,4'-H 2 bipy)[Sn(C 2 O 4 ) 2 ] ( 2 ), and SnCl 2 (4,4'-bipy) ( 3 ) were synthesized under hydro-(solvo-)thermal conditions and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 exhibits a ionic structure based on discrete [4,4'-Hbipy] + cations and [Sn 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 ] 2– anions. These two units are linked via N–H ··· O hydrogen bonds to form a pseudo-one-dimensional zigzag hydrogen-bonded chain. In compound 2 , four-coordinate Sn atoms form monomeric tin dioxalato complexes, which are connected to the doubly protonated [4,4'-H 2 bipy] 2+ cations through N–H ··· O hydrogen bonded to give a one-dimensional zigzag hydrogen-bonded chain. Compound 3 forms a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network, in which 1 ∞ [SnCl 2 (4,4'-bipy)] linear chains are interconnected to each other by C–H ··· Cl hydrogen bonding. The solid-state UV/Vis/NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows that three compounds are broadband semiconductors. The thermogravimetric analysis evidences the thermal stability of the three compounds up to 175, 201, and 246 °C, respectively.

Multistimuli-responsive materials are highly desirable due to their convenient controllability and potential applications in smart window, sensor and bionic manufacturing. Herein, we designed and synthesized a guest molecule 1-[2-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl]-4,4′-bipyridinium dichloride (FOV·Cl2), whose ketone–enol tautomerism (FOV2+ ↔ FHV+) in aqueous solution is governed by pH values. The solid-state inclusion complex formed β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and FOV2+ (in the ketone form) demonstrated multiple chromic behaviors under the external stimuli of light, heat and vapors of ammonia and some organic amines, which were characterized by UV-vis and ESR spectroscopy. For comparison, the chromic behavior of the solid-state inclusion complex of β-CD with FHV+ (in the enol form) was also investigated. In addition, we found that the fluorescence emission of the inclusion complex FOV2+@β-CD can be reversibly modulated by the photochromic process. The chromic and fluorescent properties of the FOV2+@β-CD endow it with practical utility in inkless printing, ammonia sensing and multiple anti-counterfeiting. This work focused on demonstrating the multistimuli-responsive chromic behaviors of the inclusion complexes and exploring their promising applications.

To separate the azeotropic system of 2-methyl-2-butanol and water, the liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of water + 2-methyl-2-butanol + solvents (methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), isopropyl ether, isooctyl alcohol, methyl acetate, mesityl oxide, and 4-methyl-2-pentanol (MIBC)) were measured at 308.2 K under 101.3 kPa. All systems conform to Treybal’s type II ternary phase behavior, with water + solvents and water + 2-methyl-2-butanol being partially miscible binary mixtures, while 2-methyl-2-butanol + solvents are miscible binary mixture. The distribution coefficient (D) and selectivity coefficient (S) were employed to evaluate solvent performance for extracting 2-methyl-2-butanol from water. Intermolecular interactions between 2-methyl-2-butanol and both solvents and water were investigated by using the DMol3 module. The nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasi-chemical (UNIQUAC) models were applied to correlate LLE data, obtaining binary interaction parameters with root-mean-square deviations (RMSDs) < 0.60%. The consistency of regression parameters for both models was validated using the GUI-MATLAB tool.
