As the largest renewable source of aromatic feedstock in nature, lignin has good thermal stability, strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption, and mechanical reinforcing property. In this study, a lignin-based Type I macromolecular photoinitiator (macro PI) named DAL-11ene-TPO is designed and synthesized through covalently grafting 10-undecenoyl chloride (11ene) and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-ethoxy-phenylphosphine oxide (TPO-L, a commercial small molecular PI) into dealkaline lignin (DAL) skeleton. A series of characterizations were performed to prove that DAL-11ene-TPO was synthesized successfully, including 1 H NMR, FTIR, UV–vis, 31 P NMR, GPC (gel permeation chromatography). The formed active free radicals were monitored by electron spin resonance (ESR). DAL-11ene-TPO can high-efficiently initiate the monomers polymerization upon the irradiation of 405 nm LED. The resulting polymer films showed strong UV-blocking performance and good visible light transmittance. Moreover, the elongation at break of the polymer film containing 0.5% DAL-11ene-TPO is improved by 50% compared with that of TPO-L control group. Furthermore, DAL-11ene-TPO has polymerizable groups, which can be bonded into the network of the polymers, resulting in a high biosafety of the end products. The results indicate that DAL-11ene-TPO can be used as a high-efficient bio-based macro PI for preparing high performance UV-blocking films.

Biomedical polyurethane (PU) and silk fibroin have similar molecular architecture in their primary and aggregate structure, both of which have imido bonds and microphase separation, and they have been employed as scaffold materials for biomedical applications. As the featured peptide sequence of silkworm silk protein, GlyAlaGlyAla (GAGA) tetrapeptide was synthesized by using traditional liquid-phase peptide synthesis method with Boc-protected alanine and glycine as starting materials, and was transformed to its derivative with two end-amido groups. The derivative was incorporated into the backbone of the classical synthetic copolyurethane as a chain extender to form a silk-inspired polyurethane. Elemental analysis showed the nitrogen content in the silk-inspired PU was higher than that in the butanediol-extended PU but lower than the theoretical value, indicating the chain extender containing GAGA was partially incorporated into the PU chain. The results from 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Raman scattering spectra and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry qualitatively identified the primary structure of the silk-inspired polyurethane. This concept and strategy may allow the fabrication of a new class of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer to mimic the structure and properties of silk fibers if in fiber form, which combines traditional synthetic polymer chains with peptide sequences. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Butyl rubber, IIR nanocomposites based on modified graphene sheets, were fabricated by solution processing followed by compression molding. MG was prepared from natural graphite, NG through graphite oxide route. X-ray diffraction showed that the exfoliated MG was homogeneously dispersed in the IIR matrix with doping levels of 1-10 wt% as evidenced by the lack of the characteristic graphite reflection in the composites. In contrast, the graphite retained its stacking order and showed the sharp characteristic peak in the NG-IIR composites. Scanning electron microscope images of the fracture surfaces of the IIR matrix showed that MG nanofillers exhibited better compatibility than NG did. The mechanical properties of the MG-IIR nanocomposites were significantly improved due to the efficient distribution of the large surface area MG sheet. The tensile modulus of nanocomposite with doping level of MG 10 wt% was 16 times that of the pure IIR. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2011. © 2011 Society of Plastics Engineers

Developing structurally well-defined targeted drugs is an effective way to enhance the chemotherapy efficacy. Herein, a target mitochondrial complex I (complex I) inhibitor was developed for the key methylation site ARG-85 in the key subunit NDUFS2. Based on the unique :NH═C– group of guanidyl and the surrounding environment of ARG-85, the macrocyclic and bulky manganese porphyrin complex [MnIII(TTPPC2–)]+ was selected to insert into the gap of NDUFS2. Experimental and computational analyses revealed that the planar π system of the TTPPC2– ligand and the rotatable benzene ring stably bind between the :NH═C– group of ARG-85 and the manganese metal center, a medium-strong Lewis acid. The Mn-specific recognition of guanidine drives the selective inhibition of complex I activity. Further, MnIII(TTPPC2–)]+ was modified into targeted nanoformulation Mn NPs. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the efficient and mechanism inhibition of complex I activity, offering a novel strategy for targeted drug development.

Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal with high toxicity and exists in the aquatic environment as Tl(III) and Tl(I). Tl(I) is a major species in industrial wastewater and natural water, which has high solubility, stability, and mobility and is difficult to remove. In this study, Prussian blue–zerovalent iron nanoparticles (PB-nZVI) were successfully prepared at room temperature. The performance of PB-nZVI in removing Tl(I) was studied and compared with PB and nZVI. The experimental results showed that PB-nZVI can remove Tl(I) efficiently (>97%) in a pH range of 3–9, while the highest removal rates of PB and nZVI for Tl(I) were only 83.8% and 53.1% (pH = 9), respectively. Additionally, the variation of Tl(I) removal efficiency in different relative parameters has been studied, such as Tl(I) initial concentration, dosage of absorbent materials, and coexisting cations (K+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cd2+, and Cu2+). PB-nZVI showed extremely high selectivity for Tl(I), and the efficiency of Tl(I) removal was slightly affected by the coexisting cations with 100 and 1000 mg/L. However, the Tl(I) removal by PB and nZVI was significantly inhibited under identical conditions. The involved mechanisms are as follows: adsorption, precipitation, and ion exchange. The synergistic effect of PB and nZVI enables PB-nZVI to efficiently remove thallium from wastewater.

The multielectron conversion electrochemistry of I–/I0/I+ enables high specific capacity and voltage in zinc–iodine batteries. Unfortunately, the I+ ions are thermodynamically unstable and are highly susceptible to hydrolysis. Current endeavors primarily focus on exploring interhalogen chemistry to activate the I0/I+ couple. However, the practical working voltage is below the theoretical level. In this study, the I0/I+ redox couple is fully activated, and I+ is efficiently stabilized by a chelation agent of cost-effective urea in the conventional aqueous electrolyte. A record-high plateau voltage of 1.8 V vs Zn/Zn2+ has been realized. Theoretical calculations combined with spectroscopy studies and electrochemical tests reveal that the coordination between the electron-deficient I+ and the electron-rich O and N atoms in urea molecules is thermodynamically favorable for I0/I+ conversion and inhibits the self-disproportionation of I+, which in turn promotes rapid kinetics and excellent reversibility of I0/I+. Moreover, urea decreases the water activity in the electrolyte by forming hydrogen bonds to further suppress the hydrolysis of I+. Accordingly, a high specific capacity of 419 mAh g–1 is delivered at 1C, and 147 mAh g–1 capacity is retained after 10,000 cycles at 5C. This work offers effective insights into formulating halogen-free electrolytes for high-performance aqueous zinc–iodine batteries.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have important applications in different industries; however, they are environmentally unfriendly due to their high global warming potential (GWP). Hence, reclamation of used hydrofluorocarbons via energy-efficient adsorption-based separation will greatly contribute to reducing their impact on the environment. In particular, the separation of azeotropic refrigerants remains challenging, such as typical mixtures of CH2F2(HFC-23) and CHF3(HFC-32), due to a lack of adsorptive mechanisms. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) can provide a promising solution for the separation of CHF3–CH2F2mixtures. In this study, the adsorption mechanism of CHF3–CH2F2mixtures in TIFSIX-2-Cu-i was revealed at the microscopic level by combining static pure-component adsorption experiments, molecular simulations, and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption separation selectivity of CH2F2/CHF3in TIFSIX-2-Cu-i is 3.17 at 3 bar under 308 K. The existence of similar TiF62−binding sites for CH2F2or CHF3was revealed in TIFSIX-2-Cu-i. Interactions between the fluorine atom of the framework and the hydrogen atom of the guest molecule were found to be responsible for determining the high adsorption separation selectivity of CH2F2/CHF3. This exploration is important for the design of highly selective adsorbents for the separation of azeotropic refrigerants.

Herein, antibacterial coordination polymer hydrogels were conveniently fabricated in water via coordination between silver nitrate and PEGylated bisimidazolylbenzyl alcohol (1a–c). These coordination polymer hydrogels exhibit much better antibacterial activity than silver nitrate against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens including multidrug-resistant pathogens. The coordination polymer Ag/1c with a long PEG chain (PEG1000) was demonstrated to be the most effective antibacterial material, and its minimum inhibition concentrations (MICs) could be as low as 15.2 times for common Staphylococcus aureus and 4.8 times for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus over that of silver nitrate. With improved antibacterial performance, easy preparation method, improved stability, sustained releasability, outstanding ductility and low cytotoxicity, the as-prepared coordination polymer hydrogels should find various potential applications such as in clinical burn and wound dressings, biofilms, bioadhesives, and coatings of biomedical materials.

A convenient and mild protocol for the gold-catalyzed intermolecular coupling of o-alkynylphenols with haloalkynes to give vinyl benzofurans is reported. In this work, the gold catalyst SIPrAuCl and the co-catalyst NaBARF would corporately promote the intramolecular cyclization of the o-alkynylphenol to benzofuran, and then a selective hydroarylation of benzofuran to haloalkyne was catalyzed by the same catalysts. Computational studies suggest that the hydroarylation process takes place via a concerted nucleophilic attack pathway of the benzofuran to the C2 carbon of the activated haloalkyne, and reveal the original driving force of this hydroarylation process.

Dihydrotanshinone I (DHTI) is a pharmacologically active component occurring in the roots of the herbal medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. This study investigated DHTI-induced inhibition of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1 with the aim to determine the potential effects of DHTI on the bioactivation of estradiol (E2), possibly related to preventive/therapeutic strategy for E2-associated breast cancer. Ethoxyresorufin as a specific substrate for CYP1s was incubated with human recombinant CYP1A1, CYP1A2, or CYP1B1 in the presence of DHTI at various concentrations. Enzymatic inhibition and kinetic behaviors were examined by monitoring the formation of the corresponding product. Molecular docking was further conducted to define the interactions between DHTI and the three CYP1s. The same method and procedure were employed to examine the DHTI-induced alteration of E2 metabolism. DHTI showed significant inhibition of ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation activity catalyzed by CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 0.56, 0.44, and 0.11 μM, respectively). Kinetic analysis showed that DHTI acted as a competitive type of inhibitor of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1, whereas it noncompetitively inhibited CYP1A2. The observed enzyme inhibition was independent of NADPH and time. Molecular docking analysis revealed hydrogen bonding interactions between DHTI and Asp-326 of CYP1B1. Moreover, DHTI displayed preferential activity to inhibit 4-hydroxylation of E2 (a genotoxic pathway) mediated by CYP1B1. Exposure to DHTI could reduce the risk of genotoxicity induced by E2.

As important catalysts for C–C coupling, copper-based materials have great potential for electrocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to C 2+ products. In this work, Cu 2 O catalysts modified with different lanthanide hydroxides were successfully synthesized and used for CO 2 electroreduction. The results showed that compared with Cu 2 O/Gd(OH) 3 and Cu 2 O/Yb(OH) 3 catalysts, Cu 2 O/La(OH) 3 exhibited the highest electrocatalytic performance for CO 2 reduction. This catalyst was able to maintain a high Faraday efficiency for C 2+ products ( \({\rm FE}_{{\rm C}_{2+}}\) ) of about 60% within the current density range of 400–800 mA cm −2 . The highest \({\rm FE}_{{\rm C}_{2+}}\) reached 66% at 600 mA cm −2 and the partial current density for C 2+ products reached a maximum of 488 mA cm −2 . Meanwhile, the catalyst could run stably for 40 h with a remained \({\rm FE}_{{\rm C}_{2+}}\) of about 60%. Multiple characterizations reveal that the introduction of La(OH) 3 promotes the formation of *CO intermediates, and also helps to stabilize the Cu(I) species in Cu 2 O under cathodic potentials, thus facilitating the C–C coupling for C 2+ production. This work provides a new strategy to enhance the C 2+ production via stabilizing Cu(I).
