Despite the large emission of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) into the atmosphere, the ultimate fate of these compounds remains largely unknown. Herein, we explore the photochemical conversion of an important class of CVOCs, namely chlorobenzene (CB), on mineral α-Fe 2 O 3 particulates under atmospheric relevant conditions. A series of chamber reactions composed of the CB with/without SO 2 or NO 2 are performed, followed by in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations. We show that CB can be considerably degraded by α-Fe 2 O 3 under light irradiation, whereas the reaction is markedly suppressed by adding SO 2 or NO 2 owing to their competitive adsorption and surface acidification. In particular, we discover that CB can be ultimately converted into polychlorinated dibenzo- p -dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) under dark state or light irradiation, suggesting a possible origin of atmospheric PCDD/Fs from this overlooked photochemical source.

Bark beetles rely on detoxifying enzymes to resist the defensive oleoresin terpenes of the host tree. Insect cytochrome P450 (CYPs) plays a key role in the detoxification of plant allelochemicals and pesticides. CYP6 family is unique to Insecta, and its biochemical function is basically related to catabolize heterologous substances. In this study, two Dendroctonus armandi CYP6 genes, CYP6DF1 and CYP6DJ2, were characterized. Spatiotemporal expression profiling revealed that CYP6DF1 and CYP6DJ2 expressions were higher in larvae and adult stages of D. armandi than in egg and pupae stages, and that two genes predominantly expressed in brain , midgut, fat body, or Malpighian tubules . Moreover, CYP6DF1 and CYP6DJ2 expressions were significantly induced after exposure to (+)- α -pinene. Importantly, silencing CYP6DF1 and CYP6DJ2 significantly inhibited the CYP activity and increased the mortality in the adults fumigated with (+)- α -pinene. Additionally, piperonyl butoxide exposure to adults also increase the sensitivity after treatment with (+)- α -pinene, which led to a significant reduction of the CYP activity, resulting a significant increase in adult mortality. These results suggest that the CYP6 family plays a key role in determining the susceptibility of D. armandi to (+)- α -pinene, which may have implications for the development of novel therapeutics to control this important pest.

Heterojunction semiconductor photocatalysis is an auspicious technique for clear up organic pollutants from water, and have been of valuable strategy in the area of photocatalysis. Herein, electrophoretic deposition procedure was used to prepare α-Bi2O3/CdS type-Ⅱ heterojunction photocatalysts. The results of PL, Raman, and EIS show that there is a heterojunction effect in α-Bi2O3/CdS, which is propitious to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The DFT calculation reveals that the work function of CdS (4.57 eV) is higher than that of α-Bi2O3 (3.37 eV), which facilitates the migrating of e- from the CB of α-Bi2O3 to the CB of CdS, and the migrating of h+ from the VB of CdS to the VB of α-Bi2O3, thus the e--h+ pairs with high redox ability are retained. The performances were assessed by degrading methyl orange (MO), acid magenta under simulated visible light irradiation. Under simulated visible light irradiation, BC45 composite exhibited the highest degradation efficiency of 87% (MO) and 81% (acid fuchsin) for 4 h, which was about 2 times higher than that of CdS (MO) and (acid fuchsin). It is believed that the dual characteristics of H2O wettability and dye adsorption performance in α-Bi2O3/CdS composites promote photocatalytic process compared with single CdS and α-Bi2O3. The study could provide new insights to develop efficiently capable photocatalysts of the α-Bi2O3/CdS composites.

Layered Co(OH) 2 has been regarded as a potential candidate for pseudocapacitor electrode material, but it is limited by its poor conductivity and low surface area. Herein, carbonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to improve the conductivity of α-Co(OH) 2 nanocomposites. α-Co(OH) 2 nanoflowers were successfully grown and tangled with MWCNTs-COOH to form a randomly oriented network structure mediated by ammonia using water-methanol as co-solvent at room temperature. The capacitance performances of the obtained α-Co(OH) 2 @MWCNT-COOH composites were investigated to find that MWCNT-COOH improved the specific capacitance efficiently. Especially, in the presence of 20% in mole of MWCNT-COOH, the composite gave rise to the high specific capacitance of 1027 F/g at the current density of 2 A/g with good cycle stability, whose specific capacitance remained 78% of its original even after 5000 cycles at 30 A/g current. The large surface area and strengthening the conductivity of the composites lead to the improvement of efficiency in charge/discharge process.

Emulating nature to design multienzyme cascade systems for the given synthetic targets is fascinating but highly challenging. Here, we established a three-enzyme nanoreactor (TENR) for stereodivergent synthesis of α-substituted cyclohexanols, in which the two contiguous chiral centers are created by old yellow enzyme (OYE)- and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)-catalyzed asymmetric reductions, coupled with glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)-catalyzed cofactor regeneration. To achieve this goal, enantio-complementary OYEs and ADHs were identified, in which an (S)-stereoselective OYE variant toward α-methyl cyclohexenone was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis based on the rational enzyme design. The TENR with high compositional and spatial controls was fabricated by coimmobilizing the three enzymes on amphiphilic core–shell polydopamine-encapsulated dendritic organosilica nanoparticles. A customized microenvironment for the rate-limiting enzyme and the rationally arranged locations of enzymes that match the reaction sequence was designed to improve the cascade catalytic performance. Moreover, the TENR displayed much higher stability, reusability, and cofactor recycling efficiency than that of the free multienzyme system.

The asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically pure α-aminophosphonates with high and bioselective activities is a challenge. Here, we report that both enantiomers of α-aminophosphonates bearing the N-benzothiazole moiety can be prepared in high yields (up to 99%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) by using chiral thiourea organocatalysts. Evaluation of the antiviral activities of our reaction products against cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) led to promising hits with high and selective biological activities, wherein (R)-enantiomers exhibit higher biological activities than the corresponding (S)-enantiomers. Especially, compound (R)-3b with excellent anti-CMV activity (curative activity, 72.3%; protection activity, 56.9%; and inactivation activity, 96.9%) at 500 μg/mL emerged as a potential inhibitor of the plant virus. The difference in the selective bioactivity could be affected by the combination mode of the three-dimensional space between the enantiomers of α-aminophosphonate and cucumber mosaic virus coat protein (CMV-CP) via florescence spectroscopy and molecular docking.

Six pentasaccharide resin glycosides fromIpomoea cairica, including four new acylated pentasaccharide resin glycosides, namely cairicoside I–IV (1–4) and the two known compounds cairicoside A (5) and cairicoside C (6), were isolated from the aerial parts ofIpomoea cairica. Their structures were established by a combination of spectroscopic, including two dimensional (2D) NMR and chemical methods. The core of the six compounds was simonic acid A, and they were esterfied the same sites, just differing in the substituent groups. The lactonization site of the aglycone was bonded to the second saccharide moiety at C-2 in1–4, and at C-3 in5–6. Compounds1and5,4and6were two pairs of isomers. The absolute configuration of the aglycone in1–6which was (11S)-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid (jalapinolic acid) was established by Mosher’s method. Compounds1–4have been evaluated for inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase, which all showed inhibitory activities.Keywords:Ipomoea cairica;resin glycoside;simonic acid A;α-glucosidase

As a potential health hazard, α-dicarbonyl compounds have been detected in the thermally processed foods. In order to investigate the formation kinetics of α-dicarbonyl compounds, liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was employed to determine the content of α-dicarbonyl compounds in glucose-only and glucose-glutamic acid (glucose-Glu) thermal reaction models. The 3-deoxyglucosone content was significantly higher than 6 α-dicarbonyl compounds at 90–110℃, 0–6 hr in the two tested systems. The glutamic acid promoted the content accumulation of 1-deoxyglucosone, diacetyl, methylglyoxal, and glyoxal, whereas inhibited the content of 3-deoxyglucosone and 3,4-dideoxyglucosone. Three-fifths of the tested compounds content increased linearly with time increasing, but in glucose-only system, the 1-deoxyglucosone content increased logarithmically at 95–110℃ over reaction time. The formation of glucose (100–110℃, glucose-only and glucose-Glu), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (100–110℃, glucose-only), 1-deoxyglucose (105–110℃, glucose-Glu), 3,4-dideoxyglucosone (110℃, glucose-Glu), glyoxal (95–110℃, glucose-Glu) and diacetyl (90–95℃, glucose-Glu) could be well fitted by exponential equation. Shortening the heating time and reducing heating temperature (except glyoxal in glucose-only system) were the effective methods to decrease α-dicarbonyl compounds content in the two tested systems. Additionally, high temperature could also reduce α-dicarbonyl compounds content, such as 3-deoxyglucosone (≥110℃, glucose-only), 1-deoxyglucosone (≥110℃, glucose-only), glucosone (≥110℃, glucose-only; ≥100℃, glucose-Glu), methyloxyl (≥110℃, glucose-only; ≥100℃, glucose-Glu), diacetyl (≥110℃, glucose-only), and glyoxal (≥100℃, glucose-Glu).

One-dimensional α-MnO 2 nanorods were fabricated by using low-temperature water-bathing chemical precipitation method at 80 °C. The crystalline structures, morphological evolution process and microwave absorption properties were systematically investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and measurement of electromagnetic parameters. The results show that the morphological structures and electromagnetic properties have close relationship with the reaction time. With the prolonging of the treatment time, the as-synthesized products turn from microspheres constituted of tiny dendrites to nanorods with diameters of 20–30 nm and lengths up to 1–2 μm. The electromagnetic characterization shows that the dielectric constants and magnetic permeability values show decreasing trends with the increasing frequency, however, the dielectric and magnetic loss tangents all increase with frequency. The electromagnetic absorption properties of the products have close relationship with the morphologies and thicknesses of the samples. With a thickness of 3 mm, an absorbing peak value of −25 dB was achieved for the sample treated for 24 h. The microwave absorption properties of MnO 2 can be attributed mainly to interfacial polarization, space charge polarization and relaxation phenomena.

An efficient process for the production of levulinate esters from biomass-derived furfuryl alcohol in liquid alcohol over commercial α-Fe2O3 was firstly investigated. Among the catalysts we tested, α-Fe2O3, a cheap, commercially available and environmentally benign catalyst, exhibited a remarkable catalytic performance for the transformation and gives levulinate esters in good yield compared to the previous studies. The corresponding esters such as methyl levulinate, ethyl levulinate and butyl levulinate were obtained in high yields under optimized reaction conditions. Several influence factors for the formation of levulinate esters were also discussed. A plausible reaction mechanism for the formation of levulinate ester from furfuryl alcohol was proposed. From the viewpoint of practice and economy, the present study provides a potential application for the efficient synthesis of fine chemicals from biomass-derived compounds over cheap, commercially available and environmentally benign catalysts.

Nickel-ion-exchanged α -zirconium phosphate (Ni- α -ZrP) was synthesized by a mild hydrothermal synthesis method. Different raw material ratios (NaF/H 3 PO 4 /Ni(CH 3 COO) 2 ·4H 2 O) influence the particle size of the Ni- α -ZrP samples. The grain size could be controlled and distributed from 20 to 600 nm. Ni- α -ZrP was evaluated as an additive in lithium grease in a four-ball test. A 3.0 wt.% addition of Ni- α -ZrP to lithium grease yielded maximum non-seizure load values of 1235 N, and the wear scar diameter on the lower balls is 0.42 mm at 294 N. Compared with smaller particles, the addition of Ni- α -ZrP with a larger particle size to grease yields a better load-carrying capacity.

Two series of α-MnO 2 materials were prepared via a similar method with surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfate (SDBS). The surfactants work both as shape directing agent and reduction initiator. The α-MnO 2 synthesized with 0.2 M of CTAB showed a mesoporous structure with high surface area of 387.7 m 2 /g. It is very active in catalytic ozonation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and total organic carbon removal, with higher catalytic stability than commercial MnO 2 . Using tert -butanol and p -benzoquinone as scavengers of different oxidative species, we found that superoxide radicals, rather than hydroxyl radicals, were mainly responsible for the degradation of 4-NP.
