However, fluorescent vesicles containing conventional organic dyes often suffer from the problem of aggregation-caused quenching(ACQ) of fluorescence.Fluorescent vesicles working with aggregation-induced emission(AIE) offer an extraordinary tool to tackle the ACQ issue, showing advantages such as high emission efficiency, superior photophysical stability, low background interference, and high sensitivity. AIE fluorescent vesicles represent a new type of fluorescent and functional nanomaterials. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the development of AIE fluorescent vesicles. The review is organized according to the chemical structures and architectures of the amphiphilic molecules that constitute the AIE vesicles, i.e., small-molecule amphiphiles, amphiphilic polymers, and amphiphilic supramolecules and supramacromolecules. The studies on the applications of these AIE vesicles as stimuli-responsive vesicles,fluorescence-guided drug release carriers, cell imaging tools, and fluorescent materials based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET) are also discussed.展开更多

With multiple branches of terminal amine labeled PEG, these nanoparticles can associate with a negatively charged oligonucleotide and their usage for oligonucleotide delivery was evaluated. Oligonucleotide/nanoparticle complex containing tri-dendrite can efficiently deliver oligonucleotide into cells via endocytosis, while the complex containing mono-dendrite almost lost their ability to deliver oligonucleotide. Further light activation triggered the dissociation of tri-dendrite supramolecular assembly via 1,4- and 1,6-quinone-methide rearrangement, leading to the efficient unpacking of the oligonucleotide in cells.展开更多

X-ray analysis reveals that the Cu atom adopts a distorted octahedral (4 + 2) coordination. The four closer donor atoms include two N atoms of 3,3?azpy and two O atoms of the coordination aqua with the CuN and CuO distances of 2.014(3) and 1.974(3) ? respectively. Two longer out-of-plane CuO bonds (2.450(3) ? from nitrate complete the strongly distorted octahedral coordination of the Cu atom. Hydrogen bonds are formed through H atoms of each coordination aqua with the remaining N atoms of 3,3?azpy and O atoms of nitrate. A two-dimensional network is constructed by hydrogen bonds and p-p interactions.展开更多

The probable formation of HMX/NTO supramolecular explosive was investigated by the molecular dynamic (MD) method. Interaction between oxygen atoms in HMX and hydrogen atoms in NTO or between hydrogen atoms in HMX and oxygen atoms in NTO were studied by the radial distribution function (RDF). It shows that there are strong hydrogen bonds and Van Der Waals forces between HMX and NTO, in which the hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms in the NTO and hydrogen atoms in HMX are the main host-vip interactions. The distributions of bond length, bond angle and dihedral angle were simulated by MD. It shows that the structure of HMX is seriously distorted. The binding energies and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were calculated on the basis of the final HMX/NTO supramolecular structures. The results show that the binding energies of six supramolecular models are E binding (1 1 1-) >E binding (1 0 0)>E binding (0 2 0)>E binding (random)>E binding (1 0 2-)>Ebinding (0 1 1), and the XRD patterns of six supramolecular models are quite different from pure HMX or NTO. Based on the investigation for growth morphology, binding energies and RDF, the model of HMX supercell substituted by NTO along the (1 1 1-) surface of HMX is easier to form.展开更多

文摘Phase transition and phase separation of formamidinium-cesium(FA-Cs)perovskite during the fabrication and operation processes reduce the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells(PSCs).Here,we develop an in situ molecular self-assembly approach on perovskite surface using an amine nickel porphyrin(NiP).The NiP doped perovskite precursor solution was deposited on substrate by blade-coating under ambient condition.NiP molecules self-assemble into supramolecule bound on perovskite surface during the vacuum-assisted process.Such a modification controls the perovskite grain growth to generate the uniform perovskite film.The supramolecule can release the residual lattice strain to inhibit the phase transition of perovskite film,and promote the charge extraction and transport to suppress the phase separation of FA-Cs perovskite during long-term illumination condition.Consequently,the best efficiency of large-area NiP-based FA-Cs-PSCs with the active area of 1.0 cm2 is up to 20.3%(certified as 19.2%),which is close to the record efficiency(20.37%)by blade-coating.Unencapsulated NiP-doped device reveals the remarkably improved overall stabilities.This work affords a novel way to address the phase transition and phase separation in FA-Cs perovskite.

文摘Amorphous carbons are promising anodes for high-rate potassium-ion batteries.Most low-temperature annealed amorphous carbons display unsatisfactory capacities.Heteroatom-induced defect engineering of amorphous carbons could enhance their reversible capacities.Nevertheless,most lignocellulose biomasses lack heteroatoms,making it a challenge to design highly heteroatom-doped carbons(>10 at%).Herein,we report a new preparation strategy for amorphous carbon anodes.Nitrogen/sulfur co-doped lignin-derived porous carbons(NSLPC)with ultra-high nitrogen doping levels(21.6 at%of N and 0.8 at%of S)from renewable lignin biomacromolecule precursors were prepared through a supramolecule-mediated pyrolysis strategy.This supermolecule/lignin composite decomposes forming a covalently bonded graphitic carbon/amorphous carbon intermediate product,which induces the formation of high heteroatom doping in the obtained NSLPC.This unique pyrolysis chemistry and high heteroatom doping of NSLPC enable abundant defective active sites for the adsorption of K+and improved kinetics.The NSLPC anode delivered a high reversible capacity of 419 mAh g^(-1)and superior cycling stability(capacity retention of 96.6%at 1 A g^(-1)for 1000 cycles).Potassiumion hybrid capacitors assembled by NSLPC anode exhibited excellent cycling stability(91%capacity retention for 2000 cycles)and a high energy density of 71 Wh kg^(-1)at a power density of 92 W kg^(-1).

V = 609.96(4) ?, C20H20N10CuO8, Mr = 592.00, Dc = 1.612 g/cm3, m(MoKa) = 0.964 mm-1, F(000) = 303, Z = 1, the final R = 0.0494 and wR = 0.1269 for 1945 observed reflections (I > 2s(I)). X-ray analysis reveals that the Cu atom adopts a distorted octahedral (4 + 2) coordination. The four closer donor atoms include two N atoms of 3,3?azpy and two O atoms of the coordination aqua with the CuN and CuO distances of 2.014(3) and 1.974(3) ? respectively. Two longer out-of-plane CuO bonds (2.450(3) ? from nitrate complete the strongly distorted octahedral coordination of the Cu atom. Hydrogen bonds are formed through H atoms of each coordination aqua with the remaining N atoms of 3,3?azpy and O atoms of nitrate. A two-dimensional network is constructed by hydrogen bonds and p-p interactions.

文摘Based on the crystal engineering, six models of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine(HMX)/3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one(NTO) supramolecular explosive were designed. The probable formation of HMX/NTO supramolecular explosive was investigated by the molecular dynamic (MD) method. Interaction between oxygen atoms in HMX and hydrogen atoms in NTO or between hydrogen atoms in HMX and oxygen atoms in NTO were studied by the radial distribution function (RDF). It shows that there are strong hydrogen bonds and Van Der Waals forces between HMX and NTO, in which the hydrogen bonds between oxygen atoms in the NTO and hydrogen atoms in HMX are the main host-vip interactions. The distributions of bond length, bond angle and dihedral angle were simulated by MD. It shows that the structure of HMX is seriously distorted. The binding energies and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) patterns were calculated on the basis of the final HMX/NTO supramolecular structures. The results show that the binding energies of six supramolecular models are E binding (1 1 1-) >E binding (1 0 0)>E binding (0 2 0)>E binding (random)>E binding (1 0 2-)>Ebinding (0 1 1), and the XRD patterns of six supramolecular models are quite different from pure HMX or NTO. Based on the investigation for growth morphology, binding energies and RDF, the model of HMX supercell substituted by NTO along the (1 1 1-) surface of HMX is easier to form.

文摘A new dinuclear centrosymmetric complex [LaL（HL）（H2O）3]2（2H2O （H2L = 3-nitrophthalic acid, NPA） was synthesized in water/ethanol solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR spectrum and TGA-DTA. The complex crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P1^- with a = 8.1549（16）, b = 8.8856（18）, c = 15.277（3）A,α= 100.93（3）,α= 90.81（3）, γ= 104.56（3）°, V = 1049.8（4）A^3, Z = 1,μ= 2.125 mm^-1, Dc=1.994 g/cm^3, R = 0.0259 and wR = 0.0679. Two 3-nitrophthalates（2-） coordinate with the La3＋ ions in a bridging mode, and two monohydrogen- 3-nitrophthates（1-） and three waters in terminal ways, respectively. Each La^3＋ ion is nine-coordinated to exhibit a distorted tricapped trigonal prism coordination polyhedron. Both the coordinated and crystal waters are involved in the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The dinuclear units are linked into a 2D network structure in the ab plane via intermolecular hydrogen bonds along the axes a and b. Two crystal waters fill each rhombic pore of the network. The networks are further packed along the c axis forming a layered supramolecular structure through the C-H…O weak forces between the adjacent sheets. TGA analysis shows the complex undergoes the loss of waters of crystallization and coordination and the decomposition of ligands sequentially.

文摘With its long-term empirical clinical practice and increasing number of health benefits reported,Chinese Materia Medica(CMM)is gaining increasing global acceptance.Importantly,the identification of chemical constituents in vitro and exposed forms in vivo is a prerequisite for understanding how CMM formulae prevent and treat diseases.This review systematically summarizes the exciting and magical journey of CMM components from compound formulae to where they fight,the possible structural transformation of CMM components in vitro and in vivo,and their pharmacological contribution.When a decoction is prepared,significant chemical reactions are observed,including degradation and production of polymers and self-assembling supramolecules,leading to the construction of a component library with diverse decoction structures.After ingestion,compounds pass through the intestinal and blood-brain barriers and undergo a more wonderful journey involving the gut microbiota,microbial enzymes,and endogenous drug-metabolizing enzymes(mainly liver enzymes).At this stage,they are modified and assembled into novel and complex compounds,such as newly generated metabolites,conjugates,and self-assembling superamolecules.This review might provide a strategic orientation to explore the active compounds of CMM formulae in vivo.
