文摘A new series of metal complex carboxylates（MCC）made of [Co（en）3]3＋（MC）and either 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic（NDC）or 4,4-biphenyldicarboxylic（BPDC）were synthesized and structurally characterized.The four new compounds have a general formula（MC）2（C）3·n（vip）with the vips of dimethylformamide（DMF）and dimethyl sulfoxide（DMSO）and water.All the structures represent a pillared-layer type,where the layer consists of MC cations,carboxylate anions or water molecules via a large number of hydrogen bonds.The layers are pillared by the organic residues of NDC or BPDC,resulting in the inclusion cavities where the vip molecules reside.Although their topological structures are similar,they crystallize in different crystal structures due to the rearrangement of pillars and hydrogen-bonded layers.

文摘A one-pot transformation of aliphatic and aromatic tertiary amines to novel fluorinated enaminones has been developed,utilizing perfluoroalkyl ether carboxylates(PFECA salts)featuring“-CF_(2)O-”units as the fluorine-containing reagents.Carbonyl fluoride,acyl fluorides and anhydrides by thermal decomposition of these PFECA salts were proposed to act as key active species that trigger the tandem oxidation-acylation process of tertiary amines,through enamine intermediates.

文摘The impact of alkali metal carboxylates on the synthesis of colloidal quantum dots(CQDs)was investigated.Through a ligand removal experiment,we demonstrated that due to its high hydrophilic nature,sodium oleate dispersed in n-octadecene(ODE)with the formation of micelles with the help of other polar molecules,which resulted in reduced concentration of oleic acid and cadmium oleate both in the solution and on the surface of CQDs.These effects allow for control the size of CdSe CQDs in a wide range when synthesizing them by solely changing the amount of sodium oleate,under either cation-rich or anion-rich conditions.Additionally,enhanced ligand dynamics promote morphology transformation and suppress size deviation caused by different morphologies'existence in CQDs synthesis.Alkali metal oleate not only stabilized anion-rich CdSe CQDs but also results in highly crystallized wurtzite structure of CdSe CQDs when synthesizing them with excess anions.Furthermore,under anion-rich synthetic condition,anisotropic growth can be realized,leading to nanorods and nanoplatelets based on the alkali metal ions used.Given their outstanding effects and widely applicable synthetic conditions,alkali metal carboxylates offer new possibilities for designing efficient methods for synthesizing CQDs.

文摘Microbial consortia that catalyze chain elongation processes have been enriched using different selection strategies,for which the electron donor is an essential one.Propanol is an extraordinarily promising electron donor because it can be generated from renewable resources,including lignocellulosic biomass and protein wastes.Here,propanol was proven in detail to be an efficient electron donor,enhancing the production of odd medium-chain carboxylates during chain elongation.By exploring various electron acceptors,reactor conditions,and electron donor/electron acceptor mol ratios,our study highlights that acetate is the most suitable electron acceptor for the production of both odd-and even-chain carboxylates.The optimal conditions for propanol-based chain elongation were 30℃ and pH 6,achieving 82.8%selectivity for odd-chain carboxylates.Another critical insight from our work is that a propanol/acetate mol ratio of 1:1 can minimize the inhibitory effect of propanol and maximize the yield of medium-chain carboxylates,with the highest concentration of n-heptanoate reaching 124.5 mmol C/L.This was further illustrated by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing,which elucidated that the community composition and keystone species in a propanol-based reactor closely resembled that of the ethanol one.The dominant phylum of the propanol-based reactor,Firmicutes showed a significant positive correlation with the concentrations of n-caproate and n-valerate.Additionally,the co-occurrence of Clostridium sensu stricto 12 and Oscillibacter,known as typical chain elongators,was identified within the propanol-based reactor.These findings enhance our understanding of propanolbased chain elongation,offer guiding principles for reactor microbiota assembly,and support efficient odd medium-chain carboxylate production.

文摘The E3 ubiquitin ligase,carboxyl terminus of heat shock protein 70(Hsp70)interacting protein(CHIP),also functions as a co-chaperone and plays a crucial role in the protein quality control system.In this study,we aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of overexpressed CHIP on Alzheimer’s disease.We used an adeno-associated virus vector that can cross the blood-brain barrier to mediate CHIP overexpression in APP/PS1 mouse brain.CHIP overexpression significantly ameliorated the performance of APP/PS1 mice in the Morris water maze and nest building tests,reduced amyloid-βplaques,and decreased the expression of both amyloid-βand phosphorylated tau.CHIP also alleviated the concentration of microglia and astrocytes around plaques.In APP/PS1 mice of a younger age,CHIP overexpression promoted an increase in ADAM10 expression and inhibitedβ-site APP cleaving enzyme 1,insulin degrading enzyme,and neprilysin expression.Levels of HSP70 and HSP40,which have functional relevance to CHIP,were also increased.Single nuclei transcriptome sequencing in the hippocampus of CHIP overexpressed mice showed that the lysosomal pathway and oligodendrocyte-related biological processes were up-regulated,which may also reflect a potential mechanism for the neuroprotective effect of CHIP.Our research shows that CHIP effectively reduces the behavior and pathological manifestations of APP/PS1 mice.Indeed,overexpression of CHIP could be a beneficial approach for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
文摘Bay-site carboxyl functionalized perylene diimide derivative 1,7-COOH-PDI-C_(12)(PDI-COOH)was synthesized and distinct enhanced fluorescence was observed through combining with calcium ion(Ca^(2+))in THF/H_(2)O solution.The assembly and fluorescence behavior of PDI-COOH/Ca^(2+)were studied in detail by changing hydration state with different concentrations.Based on the differences in assembly morphology and stoichiometric ratios of PDICOOH/Ca^(2+),we proposed the fluorescence emission mechanism of PDI-COOH/Ca^(2+)in THF/H_(2)O and THF,respectively.This work reveals a novel strategy of aggregated state fluorescence enhancement and reminds us of the important role of water in molecular fluorescence emission and assembly.

文摘Pore structure engineering has been acknowledged as suitable approach to creating active sites and en-hancing ion transport capabilities of hard carbon anodes.However,conventional porous carbon materials exhibit high BET and surface defects.Additionally,the sodium storage mechanism predominantly occurs in the slope region.This contradicts practical application requirements because the capacity of the plateau region is crucial for determining the actual capacity of batteries.In our work,we prepared a novel“core-shell”carbon framework(CNA1200).Introducingclosedporesand carboxylgroupsinto coal-basedcarbon materials to enhance its sodium storage performance.The closed pore structure dominates in the“core”structure,which is attributed to the timely removal of sodium hydroxide(NaOH)to prevent further for-mation of active carbon structure.The presence of closed pores is beneficial for increasing sodium ion storage in the low-voltage plateau region.And the“shell”structure originates from coal tar pitch,it not only uniformly connects hard carbon particles together to improve cycling stability,but is also rich in carboxyl groups to enhance the reversible sodium storage performance in slope region.CNA1200 has ex-cellent electrochemical performance,it exhibits a specific capacity of 335.2 mAh g^(−1)at a current density of 20 mA g^(−1)with ICE=51.53%.In addition,CNA1200 has outstanding cycling stability with a capac-ity retention of 91.8%even when cycling over 200 times.When CNA1200 is used as anode paired with Na_(3)V_(2)(PO_(4))_(3)cathode,it demonstrates a capacity of 109.54 mAh g^(−1)at 0.1 C and capacity retention of 94.64%at 0.5 C.This work provides valuable methods for regulating the structure of sodium-ion battery(SIBs)anode and enhances the potential for commercialization.
