A series of polypyridyl ruthenium(II) complexes coordinated by phenanthroimidazole derivatives [Ru(phen)2(R)](ClO4)2 (where 1 R = IP, 2 R = PIP, 3 R = p-HPIP, 4 R = p-OCH3PIP) was synthesized with an average yield of >85% under microwave irradiation at 140 °C for 30 min. The inhibitory effect of these complexes against various tumour cells were evaluated by MTT assay, and the results showed that these polypyridyl ruthenium(II) complexes exhibited acceptable inhibition against different tumour cells, especially 4, with an IC50 of 18.4 μM for Hela cells. The results showed that 4 inhibited the growth of cervical cancer Hela cells by inducing G2/M phase arrest, which was followed by slight apoptosis. Further studies showed that 4 displayed better inhibition against the invasion and metastasis of Hela cells than NAMI-A. Studies on the in vivo distribution and metabolism indicated that 4 was rapidly distributed in the entire body, absorbed by the tumour tissue and had only a small accumulation of toxicity in the body. These results demonstrated that this type of ruthenium(II) complex can block the growth of Hela cells and inhibit their migration and invasion through G2/M phase arrest, which suggests the complex could act as a potential tumour-targeting inhibitor in future clinical applications.

We report the facile synthesis of N-doped carbon-graphene-manganese oxide (N/C-G-MnO) that can serve as precious metal-free electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The N/C-G-MnO is synthesized via polymerization of m -phenylenediamine adsorbed on graphene using KMnO 4 as the oxidant, followed by pyrolyzation of the resulting N- and MnO 2 -containing poly( m -phenylenediamine). That is, poly( m -phenylenediamine) plays multi-roles in the synthesis of the ORR catalysts: (i) Serving as interlayer spacer to prevent graphene sheets from restacking during the thermal annealing, (ii) Function as the source of N-doped carbon (N/C) and MnO for the simultaneous doping of graphene. The N/C-G-MnO exhibits better ORR activity, long-term stability and methanol tolerance than those of the commercial Pt (5%)/C catalyst.

The separation of condensed aromatic compounds from coal tar residue (CTR), converted into cyclanes via catalytic hydroconversion (CHC) to produce essential blending components for coal-based jet fuel, represents a significant strategy for enhancing CTR's value. A highly efficient bifunctional catalyst was prepared by loading Ni nanoparticles (NNPs, ca . 10 %) on β /MCM-41 composite zeolite ( β / M) and denoted as Ni 10 % @ β / M . CTR was sequentially extracted with acetone/carbon disulfide, petroleum ether, and petroleum ether/methanol (5 vol% H 2 O) to obtain the soluble portion in methanol phase (PEEP M ). PEEP M mainly consists of phenols (64.8 %) and arenes (18.9 %). It was conducted to CHC over Ni 10 % @ β / M at 160 °C for 16 h under 5 MPa of an initial hydrogen pressure (IHP) to obtain CHPEEP M . The results indicate that the relative content of cyclanes in CHPEEP M reaches as high as 93.4 %. In Ni 10 % @ β / M , abundant defects, hierarchical porous composite zeolite with strong Lewis acid sites and uniformly dispersed NNPs play crucial roles in removing heteroatoms and hydrogenating aromatic rings (ARs), respectively. Benzyloxybenzene (BOB) is a model compound with a >C-O- bridge bond and ARs, used to study the catalytic activity of Ni 10 % @ β / M . BOB was completely converted into cyclanes at 160 °C for 2 h under 5 MPa IHP. The high yield of polycyclic alkanes is related to the coupling between the active fragments formed after >C-O- cleavage and the main structure. The synergistic transfer of H···H, δ+ H···H δ- , and H + generated by Ni 10 % @ β / M activation of H 2 is key to the hydrogenation of ARs via induced >C-O- bond cleavage, leading to the formation of saturated cyclanes.

Ferroan brucite with different Fe 2+ doping amounts (Mg 1-X Fe X (OH) 2 , x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 and 0.8) was synthesized for the removal of Congo red (CR) from wastewater. As the Fe 2+ content increased, the removal efficiency initially increased and then decreased, and Mg 0.6 Fe 0.4 (OH) 2 exhibited the maximum removal amount which was 2745.96 mg/g. The high removal ability of Mg 0.6 Fe 0.4 (OH) 2 was derived from the combined removal mechanism. The removal amount of CR was highly related to the amount of Fe 2+ in MgFe(OH) 2 and its existed state. The removal behaviors of M 0.7 Fe 0.3 (OH) 2 (M = Zn, Ni, Co) were also conducted to verify the function and university of Fe 2+ in the degradation process. The influence of M 2+ in M 0.7 Fe 0.3 (OH) 2 (M = Zn, Ni, Co) on the removal efficiency was explored by experimental study and calculation of the system energy and bond length change based on molecular simulation. This work provided an outstanding approach for preparation of high efficiency materials to purify organic wastewater. Graphical Abstract

The ionic liquids (ILs) are regarded as the ideal candidate for the novel and high-efficiency corrosion inhibitors. While the cost problem caused by relatively large dosage limited the wide employments of conventional ILs. In the current study, we synthesized two novel phosphorus-based ionic liquids (PBILs) with different alkyl chain length (dodecyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (C 12 TPB) and cetyltriphenylphosphonium bromide (C 16 TPB)), and evaluated their anticorrosion efficiencies for mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl aqueous solution by weight loss measurement, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical test. The results revealed that PBILs performed excellently (inhibition efficiencies > 93 %) at a very low concentration of 10 μM, which was much greater than those for traditional imidazole and pyridine ionic liquids at 500 μM. It was demonstrated that PBILs could adsorb on the metal surface to form the protective film, which should be mixed corrosion inhibitors with cathodic advantage. Then the adsorption study and molecular dynamics simulation confirmed that their special molecular structure highly promoted the intensity of the adsorption film mainly caused by the chemical adsorption. This study provided a novel approach for the structural design and development of high-performance IL corrosion inhibitors.

The development of sapphire slurry follows the principles of compositional simplification, environmental sustainability, and high efficiency with low cost. This study systematically investigated the effects of polyhydroxyamine pH regulators, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (AMPD), and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), on the polishing performance of C-, R-, and M-plane sapphire substrates. The results demonstrated that TRIS exhibited the highest efficacy, achieving material removal rates (MRRs) of 5.512 µm/h, 3.422 µm/h, and 4.541 µm/h for C-, R-, and M-plane sapphire, respectively, while reducing surface roughness (Sq) to 0.191 nm, 0.178 nm, and 0.184 nm. Tribological analysis, SEM characterization, zeta potential measurements, particle size distribution tests, and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, XPS, and FTIR) were employed to elucidate the mechanical and chemical mechanisms governing material removal. All three pH regulators can also function as complexing agents, forming complexes with Al OH 4 − , with TRIS demonstrating the strongest chelation capability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further verified these findings, revealing that TRIS possesses the highest number of reactive sites. The consistency between computational and experimental results established a quantitative structure-performance relationship. This work provides a green and efficient paradigm for the precision machining of hard, brittle materials.

Replacing fossil fuels by electrocatalytic water splitting for producing hydrogen and oxygen is one of the most promising ways to solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution. In this work, a series of M doped N-Ni 3 S 2 (M = Cu, Fe, Co and Ce) material was firstly synthesized and in situ grown on nickel foam substrate by a typical two-step hydrothermal synthesis method. Two probe reactions, water oxidation and urea oxidation, were selected to investigate the catalytic performance of these materials. What is noteworthy is that the Fe doped N-Ni 3 S 2 material exhibits superior water oxidation properties with requiring only 270 mV of overpotentials to drive current densities of 100 mA cm −2 , which is one of the best activities reported so far. After a long time of durability measurement, the current density of the Fe doped N-Ni 3 S 2 material will be attenuated, suggesting that the surface of the material will be in situ oxidized to oxide or hydroxide, which is the true active species. For urea oxidation, the Co doped N-Ni 3 S 2 material shows superior catalytic performance with requiring only 1.36 V potentials to drive 100 mA cm −2 current densities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that different adsorption energy of water for N-Ni 3 S 2 , N-Cu-Ni 3 S 2 , N-Fe-Ni 3 S 2 and N-Co-Ni 3 S 2 leads to the different catalytic activity. Experimental results demonstrate that the improved catalytic performance is assigned to faster electron transfer rates, exposure of abundant active center and better conductivity due to N and cation doping. This work provides new lessons for doping engineering for water splitting reactions.

The long-term corrosion inhibition for AA5052 aluminum alloy was achieved by the hybrid inhibitor combined by rosemary extract (RSE) and zinc chloride (ZnCl 2 ) which could offer more than 30 days of protection for AA5052 Al alloy in a 0.05 M NaCl solution. The highest efficiency of ZnCl 2 , RSE, and hybrid inhibitor (ZR) reached 67.34 %, 88.41 % and 96.48 % at 2000 ppm, respectively. The excellent inhibition performance of the hybrid inhibitor was attributed to the synergism between RSE and ZnCl 2 . The electrochemical measurements show that the long-term inhibition performance is due to the combination of adsorption film and Zn oxide/hydroxide precipitated film.

In this paper, a novel ion-selective and ultra-strong poly-m-phenyleneisophthalamide (PMIA)-based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) containing fluorinated emulsion and octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS) nanoparticles is rationally designed for lithium-sulfur batteries by electrospinning. Under the significant effect of OAPS, the PMIA-based GPE acts as a multi-functional separator with exceedingly high electrolyte uptake, exceptional thermal stability and robust mechanical strength. Particularly, the -NH 2 groups of OAPS provide an electronegative environment, which facilitate the lithium ions migration while inhibit the negative polysulfide anions transfer. Thus, the PMIA-based GPE exhibits an effective electrostatic shielding effect to restrain lithium polysulfide on cathode side, while vigorously stimulating the transmission of lithium ions. As a great result, the lithium ions migration, the interface impedance and the reversible rate capacity of the assembled lithium-sulfur battery obtain a marked improvement. Meantime, the cell with the PMIA-based separator, adopting conventional sulfur-carbon black as cathode materials, delivers a high initial capacity of 851.1 mAh·g −1 with capacity retention of 458.3 mAh·g −1 after 800 cycles at 0.5 C rate, accompanied by a low capacity decay of 0.057% per cycle. Therefore, the prepared PMIA separator imbedding with OAPS can be deemed as an extraordinary potential candidate for the application in high-performance lithium-sulfur cells.

Two arene Ru(II) complexes coordinated by 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)imidazole[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline, [(η6-RC6H5)Ru(m-MOPIP)Cl]Cl (R = H, 1; R = CH3, 2), have been prepared under microwave irradiation; the crystal structure of 2 exhibits a typical “piano stool” conformation, with bond angles for N1–Ru1–Cl1 86.02 (14)° and N2–Ru1–Cl1 84.51 (14)°. The Ru–C distance for the Ru atom bound to the benzene ring is about 0.2178(8) nm, and the average Ru–N distance for Ru atom to the two chelating N atoms is about 0.2092(4) nm. The evaluation of in vitro anticancer activities revealed that these synthetic Ru(II) complexes selectively inhibited the growth of HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells, with low cytotoxicity toward LO2 human normal liver cells. The results demonstrated that the complexes exhibited great selectivity between human cancer and normal cells by comparing with the ligand m-MOPIP. Furthermore, complexes 1 and 2 could bind to c-myc G4 DNA in groove binding mode in promising affinity, and the insertion of the methyl groups in the arene ligand contributed to strengthen the binding affinity. This was also confirmed by molecular docking calculation and 1H NMR analysis which showed that both 1 and 2 can bind in the loop constructed by A6–G9 and G21–A25 base pairs in c-myc G4 DNA to block the replication of c-myc oligomer. Taken together, these results suggest that arene Ru(II) complexes display application potential as small molecule inhibitors of c-myc G4 DNA.

A novel ammonium-derived dihydroxyl ionic liquid ([C 16 DPOA]Br) and a control ionic liquid ([C 16 DPA]Br) are synthesized to reveal the effect of dihydroxyl and head groups on their inhibition property via the weight-loss method, surface analysis, electrochemical measurements, and adsorption isotherm studies. [C 16 DPOA]Br exhibits the optimal inhibition ability (93.47 %) for mild steel in 1 M HCl in contrast to [C 16 DPA]Br (88.03 %) and the traditional cationic surfactant CTAB (92.34 %). Based on the experimental results, it can be inferred that the short alkyl chain (propyl) impedes the tight alignment of [C 16 DPA]Br on the metal surface and the interactions between hydroxyl and iron atoms enable [C 16 DPOA]Br to overcome the negative effects of the short alkyl chain on the inhibition property. Finally, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) distribution and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation verify the reactive sites and adsorption capacity of corrosion inhibitors from the microscopic scale, which further confirms the proposed mechanism. This study focuses on the significance of dihydroxyl and head groups on the inhibition property and provides unique insights into the development of efficient ionic liquid corrosion inhibitors.

A number of NO-releasing quinoline derivatives have been designed and synthesized by introducing NO donor to quinoline carboxylic acid fragment. The anti-proliferation of all target compounds was evaluated against human cancer cell lines (HCT-116, MCF-7, and A549), MCF-7/ADR and normal cell (MCF-10A). Most compounds showed cytotoxic activity on cancer cells and drug-resistant cells with IC 50 values in the range of 0.62–5.51 μM. Importantly, these compounds showed low toxicity to normal cells (4.21–34.08 μM). Further mechanism studies showed that the most potent compound 9 could release high concentration of NO and inhibit the activity of topoisomerase I. In addition, 9 regulated apoptosis-related proteins, generated ROS and blocked MCF-7 cells in G2/M phase to induce cell apoptosis. Furthermore, the P-gp-mediated transport was also influenced by 9 . And 9 could significantly inhibit the growth of tumor in vivo without observable organ-related toxicities. Overall, as a novel NO-releasing quinoline derivative, 9 was worthy for further in-depth study.
